Fresh water is essential in keeping anyone alive, which is why the Life Saver bottle has already garnered plenty of attention as it is able to make foul-smelling water drinkable within seconds. Each bottle can distill between 4,000 to 6,000 liters without having to change the filter, making this the perfect solution in emergencies such as natural disasters and even war. The Life Saver bottle goes one up on conventional filters since it is capable of cutting out viruses in addition to bacteria. Heck, it works so well, it can even clean up faecal matter without the help of chemicals. Each Live Saver-Filter enabled bottle retails for approximately $385, but when you think of the lives it can save, that is but chump change.
PocketMac has just released a new version of their Mac/Windows Mobile sync tool that targets devices running on both Windows Mobile 5.0 and Windows Mobile 6.0. In a nutshell, this software enables you to synchronize contacts, calendar, tasks, email, and more between your Windows Mobile device and Entourage, iCal, and Address Book among others. Guess this is a relatively untapped market, but a lucrative one nevertheless. The new PocketMac version retails for $29.95 per copy.
America’s Army which was first released on the PC platform and used as a U.S. Army recruiting tool will soon be available in an arcade cabinet. Featuring 8 training mini-games that brings true-to-life Army training exercises to gamers, you also get a drill sergeant that aims to ‘bring out the best in each player’. Competition is encouraged with leaderboards, although old school gamers will probably refer to this as the High Score. Points are awarded according to teamwork and obedience to the Rules of Engagement. I wonder how many people will actually want to sign up for Uncle Sam after playing this, and a place where people go to wind down with a pint or two isn’t exactly conducive for a virtual shooting spree. This’ll probably fare better in an arcade rather than the local watering hole.
Sony has three new VAIO series notebooks for the UK, namely the VGN-AR51SU from the VAIO AR50 Series, the VAIO FZ20 Series, and the VAIO L Series. The VGN-AR51SU features Blu-ray playback, a full HD 17″ X black LCD display and an integrated hybrid digital/analogue TV tuner complete with remote control, all powered by an Intel Centrino Duo processor and HD decoding capable hardware. As for the FZ20 Series, you get HD playback as well albeit at a smaller screen size of 15.4″. Movie buffs won’t be too pleased with this, while the VAIO L Series come with an integrated slot-in Blu-ray drive in an ultra-slim chassis. There is no word on pricing and availability for all three, but rest assured they won’t be cheap. That’s the price one has to pay after all to remain at the forefront of technology.
