Network Instruments has lifted the curtain on the GigaStor Expandable which is capable of capturing and saving every single network packet and transaction for later playback, network analysis, and forensics. This is made possible thanks to the ability to store up to 48TB of network level data, which is a figure that is not to be sneezed at. It doesn’t matter if you’re running a small or large organization, the GigaStor Expandable is scalable in order to meet the users’ immediate and future needs. This means you could essentially be running on 16TB today and upgrade to 32TB next year while retaining the same solution. The GigaStor Expandable will come in 16TB, 32TB, and 48 TB configurations, with the 16TB being priced at a whopping £46,800.

UCC, or better known as User Created Content, is definitely all the rage these days. The Samsung SCH-B750 has also hopped onto this bandwagon by enabling you to shoot video clip which can then be uploaded directly to various websites such as YouTube on-the-fly without the need for editing it beforehand on a computer. Additional features of the SCH-B750 include a 2.2″ rotating display, a 3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth connectivity, DMB for on-the-go TV, an integrated multimedia player, and a microSD memory card slot. Pricing and availability details are currently unknown. There is just something about the spontaneity and randomness of UCC which makes social video sites dynamic and fresh every single day. Would you get a handset with this feature to shoot even more videos?

The Transformers movie has certainly won over its fair share of fans despite protests by purists who claim that this movie does not stay true to its cartoon roots. Nevertheless, merchandise that ties in with the movie is always cool, and here we are treated to an Optimus Prime that comes complete with his convoy. While Prime is capable of transforming, he drags along what appears to be an iPod dock that comes with controls located at the bottom right hand corner of the speakers. I presume this toy from Takara Tomy of Japan will retail for approximately $100 just like the Soundwave MP3 player that we saw earlier this week.

IOCELL of Korea has just launched the Castella T and Castella S series of USB computers, where Castella actually provides a platform that turns any MP3 player, USB flash drive, or other compatible mobile devices which functions as a second computer whenever it is plugged into a PC. In addition, users will be able to store their most frequently used software in the Castella device, effectively doing away with the need to lug around a notebook as long as there is a compatible PC in the vicinity. Castella devices uses the Chip On Board manufacturing process that makes it possible to be extremely small in size. Individual Castella devices will come in varying storage sizes of 1GB to 4GB. Sounds pretty much like the U3 platform to me, save that this is the Korean version.

What better way to make the Joneses jealous than show off your new flat screen TV? MDF Italia has unveiled its LCD/plasma TV panel which lets you mount your spanking new flat panel TV while doing away with the need for expensive wall interventions. A unique universal fixing system enables your TV to flush-mount directly into the panel, where each panel comes with custom fittings that houses TVs anywhere from 37″ to 50″ in size. Modular shelves have been thrown into the fray to store additional items such as DVDs, doubling up as a panel to hide those pesky cables. You can choose from a wide variety of colors to suit your living room. I like the minimalist approach that is used in this as it lends a Zen-like feel to the entire room.

Looks like LG and Samsung are trading blows when it comes to each cellphone release, with the latest salvo being launched by LG in the form of the LG KH1400. This HSDPA-capable handset comes with a rotating display, DMB capability, a 2 megapixel camera, an integrated multimedia player, an electronic dictionary, Bluetooth connectivity, and TV out. I don’t know about you, but somehow or rather all the high end cellphones from Korea start to sound alike specifcations-wise, and that certainly doesn’t help the floundering buyer who is buried under a sea of choices. Pricing and availability details are currently unknown.

The Everex Impact GC3502 computer is meant to be easy on both the environment and your wallet, consuming a mere 20W of power at most thanks to the inclusion of a 1.5GHz VIA C7-D processor. Not only that, other specifications are pretty entry level including 1GB RAM, OpenOffice, an 80GB hard drive, and a DVD/CD-RW combo drive, all powered by Windows Vista Home Basic. It will retail for a mere $298 and looks designated to be the average office PC of choice for many a company. You won’t be able to run any, er, intensive entertainment software on this though, as you’ll have to learn to be content with Flash games and the occasional spot of Minesweeper.

Did you hear about the kid who got his head seared by lightning while listening to his iPod? Perhaps if he had paid attention to the Thunderstorm Detector, this untoward incident would not have happened. This device is capable of detecting cloud-to-ground lightning strikes up to 75 miles away, giving users an accurate, reliable warning long before thunder gets audible and storms visible. Since lighting can herald a storm up to 10 miles in advance, having the Thunderstorm Detector could help save your life. It uses a highly-sensitive ferrite antenna that detects the low-frequency radio signals, or sferics, emitted by lightning as they travel through the earths ionosphere. A single 9V battery offers up to 90 hours of operation. The Thunderstorm Detector retails for $429.95 each. Every home should have one unless you live in either Poles or somewhere in the middle of a desert.
