Citizen i:Virt watches does Bluetooth
Citizen has just launched its new Bluetooth-enabled i:Virt watches that target the younger and hip crowd, as older folk would probably settle for something with a little bit more steel and substance. Available in a quartet of colors, each i:Virt watch comes with a metal-banded sibling and sports a color LCD display, a phone battery meter, caller ID support, signal display, call history list, and an email viewer. The battery life of 5 days (at best) with Bluetooth turned on is pretty impressive, and the water-resistant design makes it all the more attractive. Unfortunately, no concrete price details are available as at press time.

Word on the street has it that Microsoft is currently working on a new Xbox that boasts an integrated HD DVD drive, dual HDTV tuners, an Electronic Programme Guide, and a Zune dock. Could this rumor be the birth pangs of the Xbox 720? Only time will tell, but it does go to show that traditional game media such as DVDs aren’t adequate any more when it comes to high definition. I just can’t wait to see how this will be able to impact the so-called “format wars” should the rumor actually be fact. Time to start saving up, boys and girls.
Sonos aims to make its Digital Music System all the more appealing to everyone by being compatible with Best Buy’s Digital Music Store (BBDMS) and the revamped Napster. Not only that, the company has released a new software update which throws in a bunch of interesting and useful features such as search. Not only that, the company has also confirmed the ZoneBridge BR100 networking accessory that creates an interface between the Sonos system and your home network, as well as covering Sonos dead spots in your mansion. It will come with a bunch of Ethernet ports to work with other wired networking products like the Xbox 360 and TiVo. The Sonos ZoneBridge can be picked up for a Benjamin. Sounds like a good time to pick up a Sonos system.
Sharp is on the forefront of mobile technology yet again, with the intention to sell a new generation of ASV LCD displays for cellphone use that come with an integrated 1Seg tuner for TV buffs. This new display will utilize similar technology as those found in Sharp’s vaunted AQUOS TV line-up, boasting a contrast ratio of 2,000 to 1 and QVGA resolution on a tiny 2.2″ LCD display. Thickness is not an issue either, as this Sharp ASV LCD measures a mere 0.68mm thin. Sounds like next year would be a good time to pick up a handset.
HTC’s TouchFLO interface has certainly picked up its fair share of rave reviews, and to have it cloned in the form of Touch Commander must surely mean something. This “unique application” is meant to control PDAs and smartphones by recognizing and responding to both touch and sweep of a finger across the screen. Touch Commander provides one-touch access to phone calls, emails, text messages, calendar, appointments, applications, and other frequently used programs. Compared to TouchFLO, Touch Commander goes one up by being customizable along with the ability to add or change applications launched from it. Touch Commander is compatible with WM 5.0 and WM 6 touchscreen devices, but requires Microsoft’s .NET Compact Framework 2.0 as a pre-requisite. It is available for $14.95 today.
Looks like this is one watch that will suit the Man of Steel best - the Luxury MP4 watch. It boasts 1GB of internal flash memory (paltry by today’s standards), a 1.8? 160 × 128 OLED display for you to squint at whenever you want to watch movies on-the-go, an e-book reader, compatibility with MP3 and WMA files, and an integrated FM radio. The body is definitely something more durable than cheap plastics that products of this genre come with, featuring a steel wrap instead. Each of these diminutive portable media players will retail for $110.
