The New Chevy KITTY LOC8TOR

By the name sounds a little bizarre right? Well its purpose is everything but to find your kitty (Sorry all you cat lovers out there).

How many times have you spent the day at the mall, sporting event, or even your office only to find that you’ve forgotten where it was you parked? Honestly, I can’t say that I’ve ever really encountered this situation. Sure, I might be off by a row when I go looking for my car, but I can’t remember a single time where I found myself wandering around a parking lot in search of my vehicle. However, for those of you that find yourself spending more time looking for your car than you do driving it, you’ll be happy to know that Chevy is looking out for you.

The KITTY LOC8TOR is a gadget inside your car that sits there, waiting for the day that you suffer from amnesia while shopping in the mall. You press a button on your keychain and the base unit in your car will make any number of noises to let you know where to go. The best part is that you can record your own message to be amplified throughout the entire parking lot. You know that pranksters everywhere will have a heyday with this one.

This interesting little gadget will be available in upcoming Chevy vehicles, though we’re not sure when it will be available, or what the premium will be. Thankfully they have given us some insight into their wonderful little acronym. KITTY stands for Key Innovation That Talks to You. How fascinating.

Extraordinary Turn Around Saves Green for Verizon

After many analysis of market, Verizon's light turned on at the opportunity of Google's new Android software platform launch. This platform allows phone providers to have an open network. Verizon saw that this would bring a plethora of benefits to the company and to new customers. Its a big turn around for the mobile giant since their network and devices were locked making it expensive for small companies to develop Verizon's unique applications for all of their phones they purchase. Among its benefits of this upgrade:

• It will allow users from other providers to switch to Verizon with out having to spend too much in getting them or for customers to buy a new phone.
• Since they will not have technical support for devices and applications not offered by Verizon, it will cut costs this additional support, instead they will encourage the customers to contact their device or application provider.
• Potentially allow millions of more customers for the company easily.
• Have a standardized development of the nearly 800 applications and services provided by Verizon and implement them in many new devices that Verizon didn't have to purchase because they were already purchased by the new customer that switched to the network.

It seems as Verizon doesn't want to be left behind since Sprint and T-Mobile where among the first ones in the line to support Google's Android. Verizon just couldn't bear to see their competition getting ahead of them on this opportunity of gaining low-cost customers. Their Chief of Operations Officer, McAdam, laid out this plan to his managers and they were pretty impressed while others where surprised exclaiming " Wow, that's a big turning point ".

All of this makes sense because looking at the cell phone business in Europe, it's a free-for-all type of business and they have great success with customers switching from other providers and lowering costs in devices and applications for them since developers don't have to make different variations for each provider. Even Verizon's father Vodafone is in an open network. So with everyone going for these extra profit upgrades, th the peer pressure escalated so high that on Nov. 27 Verizon publicly announced their plans on giving in to the company's biggest provider policy turn around in history!

If Money Is Not an Object, This Gift of Class and Prestigue Will Blow the Pants Off of Thee!

Top Luxury Retailers are observing that there is no decrease in those well-off customers that maintain high-levels of spending. Many are looking for the best gift. When it comes to getting something for a techie friend or relative who only believes in high quality, this phone may just be the all time perfect gift!

Samsung was looking at these people when they developed the new high class Serenata mobile. Samsung partnering up with Bang and Olufsen and David Lewis to design this fashion-conscientious phone. Its look is like a smooth rock found in the beach, without an objective of pushing the iPhone away from the market, yet.

This music focused phone gives outstanding acoustic quality from stereo speakers unvailed by sliding the back part with a soft and gentle tap. It has 4GB of internal memory and handles MP3, ACC, WMA music formats.

There is a big multi-purpose navigation click-wheel, the promise of a revolutionary, fun user interface. The phone's UI is manipulated by scrolling. For those that cannot get use to the new interface, there is a very attractive and friendly touchscreen on this phone that can be used for texting, dialing, and browsing your albums while listening to your music. Although it does not have a camera it supports video playback. With a secure stand there is an enjoyable hands-free experience. Users also enjoy its Bluetooth and email capabilities.

The phone, emerging in November, is rounding near $1,400 for starters. This is a price only understood by high-end music lovers. As for those who still have iPods, it may not be recommendable to switch devices, just yet. This could cause the danger that when every iPod owner hears about the Serenata, they will ditch their iPods and pursue the Serenata. This extreme shift in the market can be dangerously drive Apple out of this demanding market, leaving an enormously high demand for the Serenata. A demand that will increase this beautiful device's price to unreachable measures.

The Brawl between Blue-Ray and HD DVD. Which One Will Prevail?

The fight between these two leading hi-definition technologies for the new flat panel LCD and Plasma TVs is on! Right now, it is a mighty close and fierce battle and there are many factors that will give favor for either technology to take the lead.

According to the BusinessWeek Magazine, Blue-Ray has a slight lead over HD DVD. Right now, it is up to a decision by major film producer Warner Bros. to determine which of the two will become the movie industry's new standard technology. Blue-Ray has now enough movie producing companies in their team to account for 49% of the current high-definition DVD market share including Disney, Sony, and Fox. Warner Bros' decision on which one to use for their production is major because If Blue-Ray's backer, Sony, gets Warner to sign to use the Blue-Ray technology, its market share will immediately boost to 70% of the market share.

HD DVD's main backer, Toshiba, claims that they will get Warner to sign with them because their technology is much cheaper than Blue-Ray therefore their market impact will be massively huge. Their discs are about $2 less than Blue-Ray's $31.74 retail suggested price and that their HD DVD players are much more affordable around $300. HD DVD is only about 50 titles short than its competition.

In the other hand, more than 300,000 americans currently own Blue-Ray players Surveys show in contrast that 578,000 housholds that will own an HD DVD player by the end of the year plus there 300,000 more players alerady circulating in Microsoft's Xbox game consoles. Regardless of these figures, Blue-Ray supporters claim that they will have a greater market prosperity potential because Blu-Ray currently has about 2.3 million Blue-Ray equiped Play Station 3 game consoles sold in the U.S., also Disney backing it. So, they claim to have another advanatage because consumers will want to build their library with older disney films for their kids. Blue-Ray discs also can potentially hold more data meaning extra bonus material and more anti-piracy measures can be embedded.

It seems that HD DVD is struggling to keep up since they are for now backed up only by DreamWorks Animation and Paramount pictures only because Toshiba incentivated them with 150 million dollars to sign with them along with money to licence the Shrek character for advertizing. Unfortunatelly, it is hard to decide what the real outcome of all of this will be since these giants signed a contract to support HD DVD for a term of 18 months.

In the end, both Blue-Ray and HD DVD are wooing Warner because whoever is their choice will become the next format standard for the DVD industry. To "favor incentive" that HD DVDsupporters gave to these studios, Blue-Ray promises that they will throw in houndreds of millions dollars to support Blue-Ray once Warner joins in with them. Rumor has it that Warner is waiting to see which of the two prospers for the holidays before deciding which to support.

Time will only tell if Blue-Ray or HD DVD will be our next home entertainment recorded video for the next generation. As far as consumers go, they will be the final judges in this bloody brawl in which they will look for quality, extensive diversity, as well as economic reliability.

The Ford Sync is a computer platform that contains three main applications.
1) Full voice control over media players.
2) Hands-Free calling from your bluetooth phone.
3) Text Message management when you receive it while driving.

In this new feature that some Ford vehicles are now featuring you may connect your bluetooth enabled phone to your car and it will automatically Sync an index of all your music files so that with the ease of just a voice command it automatically plays it. Simply say "Artist, Shaggy" or "Track, Angel" to start playing your favorite artist or track from your Zunes, iPod, cellphone, thumb drive, or any other favorite mp3 player you may have!

It is also capable to receive phone calls and transfer them via blue-tooth to the cars speakers so that you stay hands-free. Amazingly, it also searches in your phone's contacts for the person you commanded with your voice, and calls that person.

When you receive a text-message it will alert you in the car's computer screen. You can voice command the computer to read you the text message and BLOW AND BEHOLD! it will read it to you out loud! It is smart enough to recognize abbreviations like 'LOL' and translate it to 'laugh out loud'. You can also reply or send to any person in your contacts a text message and it will recognize certain frases and convert them to abbreviations as well!

Currently it is available in 12 Ford models for 2008 and it is expected to be in most Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury by the following years.

BEFORE YOU READ THIS CLOSE YOUR EYES AND IMAGINE YOUR DREAM CAR!

You thought about it yet?...
Ok! Great! I'll bet you that what I'm about to show you right now will make your WILDEST dreams look rundown!

Take a big long breath and hold it until I tell you to let it out! I MEAN IT!!!

Let me start by asking you a couple questions:

1) How does an All Wheel Drive 5.0-Liter Hybrid V8 engine sound?
2) Does a smart LED Dual Swivel headlight system that swivels to the the right angle of the curve or hill that you are driving sound better?
3) Does your smart car include variable air suspension that allows you to switch from normal fell to confortable to sporty feel?
4) How about smart access that lets you lock and unlock your doors, open the trunk and start the ignition-all without having to take your keys out of your pocket or purse?
5) Still not good enough? Then maybe a series of sensors that indicate you how far you are from surrounding objects when you park so that with a touch of a button your car parallel and back-in parks by its self?
6) Your dreams looking rundown yet?
7) Maybe you would like electrochromic outside mirrors that dim automatically to not blind you and tilts down so you can see those hard to see spots when parking?
8) Wouldn't you love a radar technology in your car so that when you're on cruse control it will detect the speed of the car in front of you, and it will accelerate or slowdown to maintain a safe following distance?
9) How about it including Bluetooth capabilities, voice-activated-navigation system, your DVD player with its 9" screen with remote and wireless headphones, XM Satellite Radio along with amazing surround sound system, AND INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO 4-zone climate control, with 12-way power adjustable-45+degree reclining-shiatsu-massaging -temperature-controllable seats, head and leg rest WITH A CHERRY ON THE TOP!!! (well... almost with a cherry HAHAHA...it is a power moon roof !)

Now you can let out a big breath and recover your face color to normal!

According to Reuters, Sharp is going to release in Japan their new amazing Blue-Ray Recorder with capacity of one TERABYTE allowing it to record 127 hours in its hard drive of High Definition digital programing.

The other good news is that you can also choose to record these in Blue-Ray DVDs so that you can also keep High Quality video in the physical form! There is only one bad news. Its kind of pricy now, they are reaching 300,000 Yengs which is $2,615. Ouch! And also unfortuantely, Sharp currently doesn't have any plans for overseas release so we would have to wait a little while before it gets to the States.

Apple's new toy!!!

Right after the amazingly successfull fad with the touch interface iPhone, Apple knew that their customers were not satisfied! They were right! Music is very hot and just keeps boiling in popularity! So in order to satisfy their customers desires, they came up with two new designs of music devices, not that the iPods previously released weren't a fantastic success because they were, these are the iPod Nano (different presentation) and the iTouch. You may be asking, "Well what are they?" Well, instead of explaining you the plethera of cool new features of these toys take a look for your self!

The hottest from iPod!!!

We all have witnessed the enormous fad that the Apple industry has created with their cool music toy. Many say that a lot has to do with its tremendous amount of space for music storage in such a little device, while others say that its interface is so attractive because it delivers a very easy and fun way to shuffle through your files. Yet, there are those who are trend makers that hold that it is the iPod's "cool" looks that keeps it in fashion. Whatever may be your reason for liking the iPod, Apple sure has worked hard to seal their name among all of us with their new toys!
