Vince tech updates

German cars are known for strength, speed and high fuel consumption, but a firm in eastern Saxony has designed a lithium-ion battery membrane that could finally make electric cars common.

For years, battery-powered cars have been hampered by technological hurdles, with researchers seeking to resolve problems of weight, autonomy and ways of recharging vehicles quickly and easily.

Recent progress towards lighter and more powerful batteries has been made however, in particular by groups like the Japanese car maker Toyota with its hybrid vehicles, and high-tech firms in France.

Germans were said to be plodding along behind, but batteries made by the a firm called Li-Tec “take up 30 percent less volume than those from Toyota” and “allow you to go three times further for the same weight than French models,” said Tim Schaefer, a director of the company in eastern Kamenz.

Here at Tech Times, we obviously love Sony Ericsson mobile phones. And the K850i is one Sony Ericsson phone that is hard to ignore. Great mobile phone features and even greater photos. Check out the camera side. Now, that’s what we call a Cybershot.

Small, ultraportable, easy to use and affordable: The very reasons why you want a mobile computing device. The new Asus Eee PC 701 is the perfect digital lifestyle device this holiday season — Unless of course you want to wait for the 16GB version coming early 2008.

Pushing the envelope in terms of design is certainly Nokia’s advantage. The 7500 Prism is truly unique and appealingly different. It’s one mobile phone we guarantee people would definitely want this Christmas.

It’s from Apple. What more can we say?

LCD monitors are cool. And that is probably the only reason why you should already throw away (in an environmental-friendly way, of course) your old bulky and space-hugging CRT. Now, if you do go LCD, get a ViewSonic. It’s as simple as that.

Interesting stuffs… (funny and sfw!)

The way fresh water is supplied to disaster-hit regions could be revolutionised after an Ipswich-based businessman invented a £190 bottle that makes foul-smelling water drinkable in seconds.

Michael Pritchard hopes that the bottle could be a life-saver for refugees in disaster regions where access to clean drinking water is vital.

The Japanese love technology so much that now even sex toys are on the cutting edge.

The “gPod,” a phallic-shaped vibrator, is designed to respond automatically to sounds picked up by an accompanying handset, which can plug into anything from a telephone to a music player to a television.

The 25,000-yen ($200) gPod was one of a number of toys that went on public view Friday at Japan’s first sex toy expo in suburban Tokyo.

“You can use it in many ways, for example hooking it up to your mobile phone,” said Ichiro Kameda, the machine’s inventor.

“The dildo vibrates through the same waves as a voice. So one of the ideas is that you can use it here in Tokyo when your boyfriend in New York is talking to you on the phone.”

Kameda said he had spent four years trying to design a product when he hit upon the concept. He declined to say how the idea came to him.
