HTC has come up with it’s new invention, an aluminium tablet called HTC Flyer after a plethora of releases in the tablet market which are android powered.
The tablet backed up with a 1.5GHz processor ,1GB of RAM and 32GB of memory (which is expandable with microSD cards).It has a 7-inch screen with a resolution of 1024 x 600, a 5 MP camera on the back and 1.3MP camera on the front for making video calls.
All is well but the HTC Flyer is not equipped with the powerful Android Honeycomb.Instead has the improved version of Android Gingerbread which serves as a drawback when it comes to cutting edge technology.Another area of concern is the screen size which is very small when compared to the other brands in the league.Would you like to get your HTC Flyer ? The risk will be yours !
It's a tablet by HTC now !

Data encryption comes alive with honeycomb on android tablets
We all might want to hear about cutting edge technology in cameras, processors, memory in the tablets releasing every now and then. But there is one feature in the android tablets that has been still learning foot steps. It’s data encryption.
Engadget noticed this option on Motorola Xoom.But, google bounces back with a statement that it won’t only be motorola’s possibility anymore.Once can encrypt their “ accounts, settings, downloaded applications and their data, media and other files”.
The encryption occurs in an hour or more.As a whole,the characteristics of the feature is still at large.The standards used in the cryptography (the iPad uses 256-bit AES hardware-based encryption) is an alien thing yet.The negative impacts on the tablet like slowing down the speed and enormous battery usage are to be considered in the long run.

"Watch " out !!! This is E-Ink
It would purely be a case of mistaken identity if you look it as a child’s play toy.Yes,it’s all real and happening.The E-Ink technology has been the in thing and expanded it’s horizons to watches even.This design concept developed by Jonathan Frey is producing waves at amazon kindles and others.
It uses E-Ink technology on both the screens of it’s display.The top shows the day and date; with a display made up of shiny black metal.Whereas the bottom has a black background which projects the striped numerals with buttons for control on the side.
It is surely a life saver with long last battery in contrast with the watches tagged with LCD display.It only uses atmost power of the battery during change of numerals and rests the battery otherwise.
Added Advantage :
They can be typically configured even on curved surfaces which sets itself apart from traditional LCD displays.Interestingly, the color E-Ink displays would be out soon too.
The arrival of such watches cannot be precisely predicted but with the evolution of E-Ink technology to large masses on the anvil,a watch ought to be watched out for !

Land and Water Fun Gigantic Toys!
Now you can have fun both on land and water with this huge, gigantic toys! First up is this gigantic RollerBall is simply awesome, potentially dangerous, but nevertheless awesome. Once inflated this behemoth stands about three metres high, and is rather like a spherical cushioned igloo. The idea, which sounds insane, is to put it at the top of a slope (we suggest a very gentle one with a long unobstructed run-off), strap yourself in, and then roll down the hill trying not to lose your lunch*. Inside the center shell is a harness, so you can strap yourself in and really enjoy the adrenalin rush, no doubt with a side helping of queasiness. There is a version of this mad sport that requires you to remove the harnesses, add a bucket or two of water, tie in the seal (which comes with the ball and straps into the opening), and launch yourself off. Not in a month of Sundays would we do that, but there you go. The ball is made from a very tough material, and comes with a puncture repair kit, but nevertheless you want to be sure you’re using it in a clear area – and ONLY EVER on private land, and with supervision. Sounds like we’re trying to put you off, we’re not, but this is not a mad toy, it’s a serious sport that requires some common sense and plenty of due care – then it’s a hoot. The RolerBall comes with a powerful pump that will inflate it in about fifteen minutes and needs a mains supply (or a 240v generator).
Walk on Water What utter joy! Larking about on the water just got even more fun. The Walk on Water Ball is a giant six foot diameter inflatable sphere that lets you walk on water (and who knows what people will say about you in 2000 years time). Made from a heavy gauge PVC, the sphere has inset cups on its outside surface enabling it to grip on the water, so as you run and roll around inside it, you automatically propel it along! It’s probably the best water toy ever invented. With two of them you can engage in an aqua-sumo face off – who can push the other contestant out of the pool? We recommend using an electric pump to inflate it, but you can just as well use a decent foot pump (from your local hardware store or bike shop). Like all inflatables that aren’t life belts, this is not a life-saving device, but it sure is a life enhancing one.
Features :
- A giant inflatable globe so you can literally walk on water.
- Made from heavy gauge PVC.
- Inset cups on the outside surface that enable you to grip the water. Your movements inside the globe propel the globe along the water, much fun!
- A speed safety valve.
- Tie-Down grommets.
- Suitable for ages 8 years + with adult supervision.
- Suitable for those of 12.5 stone or less.
- Size: – Inflated: 183 x 183 x 183cm
- Deflated in box: 59 x 52 x 39cm.

First Look | iPhone 4G Preview?
Apple is hard at work on…well…something. We all know that., right? Sources say they are working on either a new generation iPhones or a tablet. But the question is really, if it is the iPhone 4G, which have been reported that Apple is currently trying out on Verizon’s new 4G network they are developing, what features will it sport? There is at this time no facts about Apple having struck a deal with Verizon but sources say they are truly working on adapting the new and improved iPhone 4G for specifically their network.
So, what will the new iPhone 4G look like? What features will it have and when will it be released? I guess there is no way of knowing and with the insane secrecy Apple always applies when they are about to hit the market with something entirely new and “revolutionary” I guess we can’t but wait to see what they say and reveal at the next Keynote.
Or wait…is that really true? There must be some way of knowing what the new iPhone 4G will look like and what it’s capable of doing…right? It so happens I have found a video of what seems to be a preliminary promotion video of the new iPhone 4G. That’s right! Isn’t that insane!!!
Hm, wait… If you ask me I’d think this one is as fake as any other video, picture or facts said to have been obtained from Apple’s highly secured R&D bunker. Or what do you think?
