Wow, one day we will be able to carry our cellphones with Word documents, presentations, and then we goto the meeting with this guy.

Unlike traditional projectors, the Pico Projector “prototype uses red, green, and blue lasers and a digital micromirror array (ultraminiaturized DLP technology) to pump out a bright picture.” Video after the break. Click here for additional images.

Yey, I finally got a magic trick down pat. I am starting to gain some 6th sense with cards…maybe I will goto Vegas soon.

Okay, this is totally unrelated with golf, you’d think… But it is totally related!

A good golfer must learn his trick shots just like in card tricks…

Like this new UMPC? Maybe not. But WiMAX (officially termed IEEE 802.16e) is a technology we won’t see in the US for another 3 to 5 years. Why? Because all the telephone networks companies are still making lots of money selling old technology. (Well, that’s the way it’s always here…)

Why am I fretting about this? Because companies like Samsung have been making this WiMAX gizmos for like last couple years and I don’t get to use one unless I goto Korea. I mean, iPhone are tight in the way the user interface is cool and all but let’s face it. If you do a cellphone test on ANY AT&T cellphone, you are going to be getting inconsistent 110K/bytes download while my Sprint Blackberry(piece of crap) get 400 to 500K/bytes consistently. (Don’t believe me? Try this site on your cellphone. Remember to refresh your browser to get correct results)

Well, that’s not the point, WiMAX is around 4M/bytes download, which is way faster than home DSL and almost as fast as cable. Now picture putting that in your little iPhone or a UMPC, you got a REAL mobile station you can work with at “real-time” speeds…

Okay, enough complaining, I think it’s a big scheme by mobile companies to make money anyways… (Hey, even if I worked for AT&T, I’d want to sell an over-priced, over-marketed iPhones for $500, not WiMAX enabled iPhones. That’d be coming in 2 years, when we made gazillions with the cheap stuff…)

I am just really tired of hearing my Korean buddies telling me how you CAN’T watch TV here in America, or why is the iPhone so slow… So if you think there’s a better reason, let me know. I will listen…

Samsung Electronics unveiled its compact UMPC ‘Deluxe MITs(model: SPH-P9200)’ at the Samsung 4G Forum 2007 in Korea market. As a successor model of SPH-P9000, it can connect to wireless internet and VoIP phone via Mobile WiMax. Running on Windows XP, the SPH-P9200 adopts 5-inch touch screen, folding QWERTY keyboard and 30GB HDD.

After we got invited to Aving.net, it seems like we have so much more to post. (It feels like we are at the Maker Faire everyday now) Although you could just goto their website, it’s always better to mix it with some DIYs and HACKs at zedomax.com. (And we have other “bedding”, “stinky”, and “dabomb” news hidden at the bottom of our website) Also check out our newest site, Keetsa! blog, if you haven’t yet. It’s really cool. I’ve been spending so much time reading Keetsa lately, I have become very lazy at posting. But will try to keep my addictions to a sober level.  Although we will try to post some gadgets in the future from Keetsa, you CAN check out the cool as* solar powered gadgets and more cool green gadgets here.

Anyways, these UMPCs are freakin’ great and I need to get one next time I goto Korea. They have blackmarket where you can buy stuff on the cheap. (can’t tell you where, otherwise the prices would go up!) Well, if you email me, I will tell you though. max at zedomax dot com.

Weighing only 460g, the EVERUN adopted 4.8-inch WVGA(800×480) LCD featuring auto-rotation and auto-brightness control function.

P.S.  WOW, check out the Wibro MODEM!  Sweet!  I just wish I tried Wibro…too bad it’s not here in SF or anywhere near the US yet…  On the side note, US HSDPA sucks in most places including San Francisco.  Well, I’ve heard that it’s really fast in “other” metro areas but what about me and everyone in the Bay Area?!?
