Sony Bravia
Here’s a new range of LCD TV that not only boasts to be sleek and slim but also claims to incorporate high-end features. Called Sony Bravia V4500, the latest series of HDTV offers an array of LCD TVs in different screen sizes, including 26-, 32- and 37-inches.Sony claims that these stylish television sets have the capability to provide WXGA display with a resolution of 1,360×768 pixels. Powered by the company’s Bravia Engine 2 technology, they add an integrated MPEG-4 AVC HD tuner for terrestrial HDTV programs, which is compatible with DVB-T/DVB-C services.
Available in a lush piano black finish, the newest HDTV family comes equipped with a dark silver speaker, a 24p True Cinema technology, allowing users to watch movies on a Blu-ray Disc player that delivers a correct frame rate.
The Bravia V4500 series also employs a Picture Frame Mode for easy reading of pictures from the connected USB flash memory devices.
Furthermore, it has the ability to lower the image brightness and offer a photographic print or painting-like appearance. Additionally, the latest Sony LCD TVs also gives 3 HDMI ports to connect the device to gaming consoles, camcorders and AV peripherals.
The included universal remote control takes the help of the Bravia Sync system and works accurately and eliminates the hassle of shifting between multiple remotes.
No word on the cost and the release date of the Sony Bravia V4500 series of HDTV.

On Samsung Galaxy Tab: ‘Android Apps Are Going to Be a Little Ugly’
Surprise! It looks like the Samsung Galaxy Tab, which will be running the tablet-incompatible Android 2.2, or Froyo, OS, might have some issues with applications. Samsung already mentioned that some applications and features have been optimized for the 7-inch display tablet experience, so those of you waiting for the Galaxy Tab should know what you’re in for.
Have you ever used an iOS app for the iPad that wasn’t an “HD” version, or one that was optimized for the Apple tablet? It looks hideous when you blow it up to full screen, right? And using the app within the black box (i.e. using the app as it was designed to be used with the iPhone) makes it almost seem pointless. Well, that full screen experience is going to be similar to what we’ll see on the Samsung Galaxy Tab.
There is a reason that some Android tablets don’t have access to the Android Market. Some of those apps would look absolutely hideous on a huge screen, and the Galaxy Tab is no exception. Although the 7-inch display isn’t as big of a jump from the 3.7-4.3-inch displays we’ve been seeing these days, the quality degradation will be noticeable.
Analyst Rob Enderle of Enderle Group says, “Apps aren’t going to scale right and won’t be quite as pretty. The apps are probably going to be a little ugly.”
We’ve also reported that Hugo Barra, Google’s mobile product development director, made it very clear that the Android experience is just not meant for tablets right now:
Android is an open platform. We saw at IFA 2010 all sorts of devices running Android, so it already running on tablets. But the way Android Market works is it’s not going to be available on devices that don’t allow applications to run correctly. Which devices do, and which don’t will be unit specific, but Froyo is not optimised for use on tablets.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab will probably offer a pretty good reading, web browsing and video/multimedia experience, which might be good enough for some. Hell, it will even support video chatting – a feature which the Apple iPad sorely lacks. But if you’re looking for a decent experience with Android applications, you’ll probably have to wait until Android developers start designing or optimizing apps for the tablet market.
If you’re in the market for a tablet device, and you’re trying to choose between Android or iOS, be sure to take our Apple iPad vs. Samsung Galaxy Tab survey!

The City of Vancouver, The Vancouver Police Department (VPD) and the provincial government have chosen to begin installing video surveillance cameras in preparation for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic games, with no guarantees that they will be dismantled or removed after the games’ completion. The VPD and pro-surveillance advocates use a continual comparative to London and the city’s use of closed-circuit television (CCTV) to prevent crime, and the success the program has delivered. The BC Civil Liberties Association has a contrary viewpoint, concerned about the intrusion on privacy the program facilitates in comparison with the real benefits in solving and addressing crime. I think it is time to take a moment to look at some “British facts” regarding CCTV cameras.
London’s 2008 metropolitan police internal report obtained through a Freedom of Information request by the Liberal-Democrats notes that Great Britain has over 4 million CCTV cameras country-wide, both publicly and privately operated. There are over 1 million such cameras in London alone, 10,524 of which are funded by taxpayers, making London the most “watched” city in the world. Yet their crime solution rate is currently no better than Vancouver’s. The average person in London can expect to be observed on CCTV camera over 300 times in an average day. With only 1% of the worlds population, Great Britain has 20% of the worlds CCTV cameras in operation and the 2008 report from the metropolitan police admits that only one crime per year is solved for every 1,000 CCTV cameras installed in the UK.
Dee Doocey, the Liberal-Democrats’ policing spokeswoman, said to the London times: “These figures suggest there is no link between a high number of CCTV cameras and a better crime clear-up rate. We have estimated that CCTV cameras have cost the taxpayer in the London region some £200 million city-wide in the last 10 years but it’s not entirely clear if some of that money would not have been better spent on police officers.”

· The best image quality in the industry.
· Real-Time video playback, even while recording.
· 250 Gigabytes of video storage. (Enough to record up to 2 weeks of continuous footage)
· Adjustable zoom and focus.
· Mobile phone Wireless Application Protocol support.
A comparison of the number of cameras in each London borough with the proportion of crimes solved there found that police are no more likely to catch offenders in areas with hundreds of cameras compared to those with hardly any. In fact, four out of five of the boroughs with the most cameras have a record of solving crime that is below average. The figures appear to confirm earlier studies, which have thrown doubt on the effectiveness of CCTV cameras. A report by the criminal justice charity “Nacro” of London concluded that the money spent on cameras would be better used on street lighting, which has been shown to cut crime by up to 20 per cent. The British government has spent over a billion Canadian dollars to date on CCTV installation, monitoring and upkeep.Lets look at what the politicians in London say:David Davis, an MP and former Shadow secretary, says: “It should provoke a long and overdue rethink on how the crime prevention budget is being spent. CCTV leads to massive expenditures and minimum effectiveness. It creates a huge intrusion on peoples privacy yet provides little or no improvement in security.”John Bromley-Davenport, a criminal QC in Manchester, says in a statement to the BBC: “Cameras can, occasionally, provide evidence, although the quality of film is frequently so poor as to be worthless. Cameras do nothing to deter criminals; the large number of crimes, committed in the full view of cameras, provide eloquent testimony to that.”
At Home Security Store putting together a surveillance system to secure your home or business is made easy. No matter what kind of surveillance system that might be, from an easy to set-up digital wireless camera system with no holes to drill to a complete 16 channel hardwired surveillance system that you can view on your new iPhone or BlackBerry, we have it all to meet all your CCTV needs!
Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras once only found to monitor banks, casinos, airports, military installations, and convenience stores are now made available to you at an affordable price. This means you can create property protection both indoors and outdoors like never before.
If you are looking to secure a small condo or apartment, a simple wireless camera might just do the trick. It will also save you the higher cost of installing a traditional surveillance system. But if you need the extra coverage, no worries – Home Security Store has you covered.
Our video surveillance category encompasses our unique step by step guide to build a surveillance system, video baby monitors, security cameras (bullet, dome, fake, IP, spy, and wireless), digital video recorders (DVRs), complete camera systems (equipped with night vision), CCTV monitors, accessories, and power supplies.
Typically, a complete surveillance kit will be made up of a series of cameras connected (be that wired or wirelessly) to a DVR which records those images and in turn displays those images on a monitor. In addition, most of our advanced DVRs are capable of being connecting to a network that can send your CCTV images to an outside internet ready computer or smart phone. In turn, such smart phone applications allow you to control your surveillance system from afar 24/7. Such DVRs are made by Lorex Technology, Lasertech, Atrix, and Digital Watchdog.
Remember, the mere presence of video surveillance cameras can help prevent crime, from a residential home invasion to business vandalism. Furthermore, it can help obtain the evidence you need if a crime does actually happen. Video surveillance has been helpful in the conviction of many criminals. Often, if your cameras are positioned right, you can not only get a good image of a trespasser, but can even track his or her movement with different camera set-ups. Don't let the criminal have the upper hand. Build your surveillance system today.

HP new Laptop / Laptop's
Functionality VS AND DesignNow, when we all are tired from similar and plain-looking laptop designs, we can finally see more and more “fresh” solutions offered by different brands at reasonable prices. Beauty is not any more a prerogative of those who can pay thousands of dollars per device. Today, HP has shown their new S-series ProBooks, not only re-designed, but upgraded too.
In fact, when I first came across the new HP ProBook photos, I was about to think it has a wooden finish, it really looks like that with its brushed aluminum in “caviar” brown color. Actually, the new finish looks really great on the straight rectangle shape of the classic ProBook. It is a piece of elegance, which serves not only as a tool, but also as a design element for your home or office.
Your new HP Pro Book can be smaller or larger, as the display size can be chosen from 13,3 inches, up to 17,3 inches, with Core i3/i5/i7 CPU. Besides these you are also offered to choose from some other options, like 2MP camera, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4350 discrete graphics and a 9-cell battery (10 hours of work).
Though some argue laptops are meant to be functional, rather than have nice designs, HP ProBook has proven that combining both of these is what the manufacturers should be aiming towards.
HP G62t Core i3 Notebook Pairs Envy 15 Looks With a $600 Price TagSony just announced a few colorful Core i3/i5 notebooks, and now HP is following suit with its new G62t. Its design closely resembles HP's $1300 Envy, but you'll pay less than half of that for the G62t's base configuration.
That $600 base model has respectable specs, too: a 2.13GHz Core i3 processor, a 160GB hard drive, 3GB of DDR3 RAM, a 15.6-inch (1366 x 768) LED display, DVD burner, and three USB 2.0 ports. It's also upgradeable to a Core i5 or i7 CPU, a 500GB hard drive, and 4GB RAM. You can also tack on a Blu-ray player and a multi-format memory card reader.
There are a few downsides: an HDMI port doesn't come standard (but can be added on), and you're stuck with Intel's integrated graphics no matter what. But for $600, you could certainly do a lot worse.
HP releases new AMD powered dm6z Select Edition, dm6z, dm3z models
Coming on the heels of the horde of Intel powered laptops HP released last week, HP has invited a few new AMD models to the party. Two of these guys are updates on existing notebooks and one is brand new.
The HP dv6z Select Edition is an all new 15.6″ laptop featuring either AMD Turion II or Phenom II, dedicated GPU (switchable), 4GB RAM and a 320GB HDD standard. An optional touchscreen, just like on the Intel version, is also available. Starts at $799.
The HP dv6z is like the above but a little spec’d down. GPU is optional and there is no touchscreen option – still a great buy though, especially if you don’t need those features. Starts at $749.
The HP dm3z portable 13.3″ laptop (pictured) features AMD’s Athlon or Turion Neo II. It also features an optional GPU to go along with 3GB RAM and 250GB HDD standard (SSD optional). Starts at $699.
These laptops get the same aesthetic and hardware bumps from their predecessors as the rest of HP’s updated line, making them instant improvements and something we’re happy to see.
Designed to allow a person to handle all completer work while using an exceptionally designed laptop, let’s look at the features of the HP Pavilion dv2z series laptops. This is one computer that was designed for mobility; quite a necessity in today’s world. Loaded up nicely with Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit with Service Pack 1, this does give an exceptional operation system.

And the race is on! Apple competitors like Dell and Hewlett-Packard battle to beat iPad
Now that Apple Inc's (AAPL.O) iPad is finally born, Hewlett-Packard Co (HPQ.N), Dell Inc (DELL.O) and others are preparing to introduce their own tablet computers, facing an uphill battle to win over critics and consumers.
By being first to hit store shelves, the iPad is already defining the tablet market on its terms: a battery-sipping media consumption device with access to unique content and programs from Apple's sprawling applications bazaar.
Now, HP, Dell, and potentially Nokia Oyj (NOK1V.HE), Sony Corp (6758.T) and Samsung Electronics (005930.KS), are putting the finishing touches on tablets of their own. Their challenge may be less in developing a device than in crafting content for it.
"Just because this works for Apple doesn't mean it will work for these guys," said Kaufman Bros analyst Shaw Wu. "They have to be prepared to try something different."
Apple already rules the music player category and the high-end of the computer market, while the iPhone has changed the way people think about smartphones.
In the nascent tablet segment, the fear is that Apple will again dominate the category so completely that rivals can't catch up. That could be devastating, considering the market for tablet computers is expected to explode to as many as 50 million units in 2014. according to research group In-Stat.
To succeed, analysts say, Apple's rivals will need to look beyond hardware to a universe of specialized services and media, which will truly drive tablet adoption.
But they are already at a disadvantage. Apple, with its iTunes Store, has years of experience working with record companies, film and TV studios, game makers, and thousands of designers of small programs and utilities called apps.
"You can't just come out with a device, that won't cut it," said In-Stat analyst Jim McGregor. "Apple has brought an entire solution. it includes the content and the apps."
How would you change HP's Envy 13 / 15 laptops?
It's still sort of weird to see an Envy laptop and not see a Voodoo badge following along, but as Rahul Sood has so eloquently explained, it's HP's burden to bear from here on out. We got a chance to toy around with the smaller of the two a few months ago, and since then, the company lowered the asking prices for both while simultaneously updating the specifications. For those who've managed to procure either of the editions, we're curious to hear what you think about HP's first Voodoo-free Envy laptops. Is the trackpad up to snuff? How's the display? Is the performance satisfactory given the price? Can you use it without torching your lap? Spill your innermost thoughts in comments below -- you know we won't judge you.

We got a chance to toy around with the smaller of the two a few months ago, and since then, the company lowered the asking prices for both while simultaneously updating the specifications. For those who've managed to procure either of the editions, we're curious to hear what you think about HP's first Voodoo-free Envy laptops. Is the trackpad up to snuff? How's the display? Is the performance satisfactory given the price? Can you use it without torching your lap? Spill your innermost thoughts in comments below -- you know we won't judge you.
