Topic: NEC
The new items published under this topic are as follows.
NEC announced some new models today, and they sure are impressive.
First is the TZ series which... has a whole lot of stuff. A 23" LCD (with SoundVu nonetheless), 64-bit Athlon, extensive multimedia capabilities, Radeon 9600, etc.
Next is the S series, which I imagine is NEC's answer to Sony's Vaio W series. It features the same sort of screen/case integration form factor, but has some other good stuff.
More information inside, inclunding links to the ultra-cool 3D product images.
It's called the "LookClub," and it's a not a PC, but it's not a PDA either. I guess that makes it close to a Sony AirBoard? Although not really.
It does, however, use Linux, and is suprisingly affordable. But don't expect to be able to get your hands on one soon - NEC will only produce 4,000 of these this year.
More information and an image of the device inside.
I saw this posted over at Gizmodo yesterday, and forgot to let you guys know.
NEC has an English page up of some of their ideas for future designs. There's a bendable cellular phone, some rather odd applications of images, the "pen" based computer, etc.
The page is in English, so enjoy.
NEC announced their new LSI today, which is the industry's first to support all functions of video/audio processing involved in DVD recording.
Although NEC previously announced one of these phones, this is the first time I've seen the other two.
The first time I saw the picture of the N910, I thought "hey that looks like a Gameboy Advance SP."
They formed a company with Samsung SDI back in 2001, but they're dropping all resources, and letting Samsung go it alone.
NEC will be releasing 17 and 23 inch widescreen LCDs, which use SoundVu technology to make the panel itself act as a speaker.
The screens are to be sold alone - previously, the screens were packaged with the VALUESTAR line of PCs.
Also, they will begin a 3D display service for FFXI players who use LaVie S notebooks.
NEC and the Nara Institute of Science and Technology have cooperated to develop technology which allows for phones with cameras - even low resolution cameras - to act as scanners, by having users move their camera over the surface of the page.
It certainly looks nifty, but I guess you'll have to go to China to use one.
Oh, and if the success of the N-Gage is any indicator, then things that aren't shaped like phones don't work sell as well as phones.
Still, cool idea. And it's got a damn 3 megapixel camera. Pictures and more information inside.
