Desktop To Go

If you don't have a lap top, have you ever needed to or just wanted to take your PC with you?  Well I have come across a new piece of technology that will enable you to do so, its called the fit-PC3.  The fit-PC3(or pc3) is a tiny computer that is 1in thick and 6in wide.  Don't let the size fool you, this little PC packs a powerful punch.  The PC3 comes with an AMD G-series processor which is the dual 1.6GHz core model, a Radeon HD graphics processor and up to 4GB of DDR3 Ram.  This computer does not come with a fan to cool it off though...I know you are wondering what stops it from overheating then right?  Well the systems runs cool enough to disperse its own heat.  Also the PC3 comes with not 1 not 2 but 6 USB 2.0 ports, 1 HDMI port and an eSATA for extra storage if you need the space.  Well for someone who loves gadgets this is an ideal gift to get yourself, or even if it was used to just watch movies on and not have those downloads on your main computer.  This is the smallest computer I've ever seen, I would have never thought that it could have all of the features that it has.

Cell phones today can do it all, its a wonder they haven't given them new names such as hand held computers.  For a a couple of months Blackberry's have fallen to the reign of "Android"!  Oh wait whats that you say blackberry is not going without a fight??  Well seems blackberry has a new gadget on the way that just might save the day...well at least some of their customers.  Blackberry is coming out with a new device called the Presenter which is a 3.4in x 2.4in boxlike device that you plug into a projector or monitor.  It uses bluethooth connection to display Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 and 2007 from your phone.  Not only are you able to use PowerPoint but you can also present Adobe PDF files.  In order to do this all you need is the the Presenter and to download the software to your phone and to your desktop at home.  Once you plug the Presenter in click present and you are ready to go!

The system requirements are as follows:
  • You must have BlackBerry Presenter software
  • A desktop running Microsoft Windows XP or a later operation system
  • Desktop must have a USB 1.1 or higher
  • A BlackBerry device running v4.6 or higher
  • Video Output device and a VGA cable or an S-Video cable

The Key features of the Presenter are:
  • Loop Mode
  • Support for PowerPoint effects
  • Freeze Mode

This device will save plenty of people, especially people who are always on the road and traveling for their company.  It will come in handy, I just hope some people don't leave their laptops at home on purpose now!
