L.K. — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 13:03:15 +0000

If you are going to be a super spy, you need the right gadgets. Just ask Mr. Bond. Without his man Q providing him with a plethora of technological goodies, his charms would have only gotten him so far. One of the most important thing in a spy’s arsenal is a camera.

Of course, lugging around a giant DSLR might yield good pictures, but it isn’t very easy to conceal. That’s why you need a 5.0 Megapixel Digital Spy Camera.

Sure, you could whip out your cell phone to snap a picture, but most phones don’t have the best cameras in the world. Plus, this one is designed with a close focus range, which means you can snap documents close-up without worrying that they’ll turn out blurry. Pictures are stored on an SD card, and you’ll get a nice leather carrying case, a metal carrying chain and an addition module that provides a flash and LCD screen that can be attached to the camera. You’d better have a good backer for your espionage endeavors, as this device will set you back $200.

And here is another interesting concept from Computex. This time it is an unusual electronic photo frame from SilverPac and Microsoft.
From all these new gadgets, the new photo frame differs by the use of Windows Embedded 6.0, and Microsoft software like Windows SideShow, and Windows Live FrameIt. From the technical characteristics we are only informed that the gadget has a touch screen with a diagonal of 10.1 inches (25.7 cm), and there is a built-in wireless standard 802.11n support.

Potentially, such a bundle of technical data and software means that the frame can be used as a network media player. Also SilverFrame can be synchronized with the calendar on your PC and work as reminder / organizer, plus the opportunity to receive and send e-mails directly from the gadget, though it is not the most sensible way to manage a mail.

The bad news is that it will not be released very soon. Concept is presented for the purpose of interest of promotion and distribution of one of the major brands of similar products.
