JooJoo shipping delayed to March 25 due to manufacturing issues

Posted by Isha Farhad On February - 27 - 2010

joojooI was really very excited but now I am bit upset just after knowing the shipping status of Fusion Garage’s JooJoo tablet as the the company told us that the shipping will delayed to March 25 due to manufacturing issue with the tablet’s 12.1-inch capacitive touch screen which Fusion Garage was able to diagnose and rectify quickly. The company now forecasts the JooJoo will be sent to consumers on March 25.

The manufacturing issue centers on fine tuning the touch sensitivity of the capacitive screen. Fusion Garage will be offering all pre-order customers with a free JooJoo accessory to compensate for the delay in the delivery of their JooJoo.

Fusion Garage’s recent agreement with its manufacturing partner, CSL,  has removed nearly all of the manufacturing costs associated with JooJoo. The company don’t have other barriers in the way of product delivery in the new timeframe.

Fusion Garage says it’s likely to be the $30 stand. They will see if that’s enough to hold back the effects of Cupertino’s coming media blitz but they are quite excited about making a tablet sandwich at the end of March.

The company apologizes for the delay.

U.S. plans to built the World’s most Expensive Embassy

Posted by Kamleshwar Bhatt On February - 27 - 2010

US-embassy-design-conceptThis is the time when the builders are more focused on survival and the housing industry is hurting so I think it will be a senseless to talk about a $ 1billion mega structure at this time. But a model of the  great design for the new U.S. Embassy for London is a special case and it is sure going to receive considerable worldwide attention, both for the overall spending on the project and for the exceptional design.

The embassy concept is designed by the Philadelphia-based firm KieranTimberlake and is proposed to be constructed in 500,000 square feet that features lofted halls and beaming ‘light art’ along with
carbon-neutral, energy-efficient, self-sufficient work of art in an urban park setup complete with ponds as well as pleasant sculptures.

The new U.S. Embassy that appears more like a crystal fortress would be the most expensive embassy ever built, overshadowing the $850 million embassy projected for Pakistan and $700 million sprawling compound in Iraq.

So, just get ready to see the new embassy somewhere between 2013 and 2017.

Nexus OneGoogle’s Nexus One, which is the company’s first own-brand mobile phone, will be launch on Vodafone in April. It will be on sale through Google.com/phone only as it has been announced previously by the company itself. The company has not been announced Tariffs but the Nexus One is likely to be priced very similarly to comparable smartphones slike the iPhone.

The Nexus One is built by HTC and is Google’s attempt to assert the superiority of its mobile operating system Android, in the face of market dominance from Apple’s iPhone and Microsoft’s reinvigorated Windows Phone, mobile software.

It is not hidden that Vodafone’s picking up Google’s Snapdragon-powered beast but you have to lock it down to a 30-day window like this, so it is progress. With the European release of the Desire, this is going to collide head-to-head, HTC’s remix of the Nexus One with Sense and an optical pad thrown in.

Therefore, it will be nice to see which of these monsters comes out on top at retail.

ASUS 3 new Eee PC 1018P, 1016P & 1015P netbooks leak ahead of CeBIT 2010

Posted by Isha Farhad On February - 26 - 2010

Next week at CeBIT, there will not be a  shortage of new netbooks and laptops as ASUS will show up with at least three new 10.1-inch Eee PCs means 1015P, 1016P and 1018P. All have 10-inch displays and may run Intel’s latest Pine Trail Atom processors. But the most exciting of the bunch seem to be the executive-aimed 1016P and 1018P. Both will have an aluminum chassis and 14 hours of battery life.

The ASUS Eee PC 1015P (shown here) is a refresh of the existing 1005P, with the most noticeable difference being a larger touchpad.  It has the same matte display as well as the chiclet keys, but an aluminum body and battery life rated for up to 14hrs (though with the wireless turned off).

As for the ASUS Eee PC 1016P, it’s believed to have a business focus, with chiclet keys, a squared off design, an aluminum chassis and the same 14hr runtime.  And the ASUS Eee PC 1018P is tipped to be just 18mm thick, the company’s thinnest netbook to date, with an integrated fingerprint scanner, 10hrs of battery life and USB 3.0.
ASUS will give us more detail at CeBIT 2010 in just a few days.

Cadillac conquering the European Automotive Market

Posted by Kamleshwar Bhatt On February - 25 - 2010

Cadillac-Europe

At General Motors, those folks holding the reins are really a funny bunch. They launch some grand scheme to enter Europe’s competitive luxury automotive market with their Cadillac brand.

After GM’s latest fiasco with Kroymans, a Dutch distributor before declaring bankruptcy last year, sold Cadillacs in Europe the U.S. automaker will now open its own company, called “Cadillac Europe” that will import, distribute and market a selected range of models specified for the European market.

Cadillac general manager, Bryan Nesbitt says that “Europe is an important market for Cadillac and re-establishing distribution of our premium offerings is good news for those who seek import exclusiveness”

This is correct that most of the Europeans have associated Cadillac’s “import exclusiveness” with products like the now discontinued BLS that was a re-skined Saab 9-3 which in turn was heavily based on the Opel Vectra.

Cadillac will definitely give Europeans a taste of their latest products including the CTS Coupe at the Geneva Motor Show, that is going to arrive in North American showrooms this summer and this fall in Europe and the new CTS Sport Sedan, CTS Sport Wagon, the range-topping 556HP CTS-V, the SRX crossover and the “oh so European” Escalade Hybrid.

Nothing can say right now on any diesel or displacement gasoline engines. But we can say that Cadillacs will continue to be a more rare sight on European roads.

Last year, Cideko had managed to get our attention with its motion-sensing, wireless Air Keyboard. But for anyone, it is been hard to come by which is not seeking it out. MSI announced that it will start selling the MSI Air Keyboard, a wireless and motion-sensing keyboard for home Msi-airkeyboardtheater PCs. Now, MSI looks set to bring it to a wider audience, but, as it is now announced its own rebadged version of the keyboard.

This Air Keyboard was first introduced last summer by Cideko and it will be co-branded when MSI launches it in Germany.

One-off “Black Ruby” Rolls-Royce coupe up for grabs

Posted by Yogesh On February - 25 - 2010

Black RubyIf you look at one-off creations then you may wonder why they made only the one or you may thank your stars they are not moving the streets in packs. Whatever it is, you come down on with only one example- the DC Design Rolls-Royce coupe is now up for sale.

If you look at this “Black Ruby” Rolls-Royce coupe then you would be forced to dwell on, if the creator has brought his dream to reality. It was originally created by the Indian-based designing company for a Maharajah for his private collection and and has been spotted as far away as London.

This Rolls Royce-based model that comes complete with Ferrari Enzo-style doors was touched Dilip Chhabria, by the Indian coachbuilder before it was nicknamed “The Black Ruby.” It combines the grille of a Rolls-Royce with the shape of a Nissan Z, packing exotic-style scissor doors as well as the spirit of the Maybach Exelero.

It is now available for purchase by a London-based company for the low-low price of about $1.2 million or £750,000.

So, if you find this creation a direct extension of your own personality, just grab this One-off Million-Dollar “Black Ruby” Rolls-Royce.

Att phoneI have a very simple concept i.e. pay more and get more. Therefore, it has gone with mobile phone subsidies in this phone world, a system that has served us for well over a decade.

At the customer service counter, it was never spelled out as clearly as anyone would have liked, it was fairly straightforward to understand: you bought a phone on a multi-dimensional sliding scale of functionality, novelty and attractiveness.

By and large, a pricing scale was there that matched up with it one-to-one. You understood that if you wanted a megapixel camera, or MP3 playback, a color external display then you’d pay a few more dollars and you understood also that you could knock a hundred dollars off of that number by signing up to a two-year contract. In exchange for a guaranteed revenue stream, your carrier is willing to throw you a few bucks off a handset- a square deal, all things considered.

So, why is FCC in a tizzy and how can we make it better?
