Power Air Corporation the Zinc power company announced the introduction of its first commercial product, the ZPAC 40 Zinc Air Powerpack, at the 2008 International CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas. The ZPAC 40 provides the equivalent energy to 40 AA alkaline batteries (enough to fully recharge a mobile phone more than 10 times) in a lightweight, compact, recyclable “CellPAC” that fits easily into a shirt pocket. The ZPAC 40 can be used anywhere, anytime, to provide safe, personal portable power without the need of an electrical outlet. It provides extra runtime for travel, emergency, remote and recharging power applications by supplying energy via a mini-USB port. Adaptors are available to connect to most devices that do not have mini-USB ports.
The external recharger measures about 102 x 63.5 x 19mm and weighs about 310g. The total power generation time is 90 days. The recharger can be reserved for up to 2 years if it is unused for the power generation. The fuel cell is integrated with the recharger and is reportedly recyclable.

Hitachi unveiled a prototype 50-inch PDP TV featuring a "thickness of 1.5 inches" (approx. 35mm) at the 2008 International CES. Hitachi plans to commercialize an ultrathin 50-inch PDP like this prototype in 2009. The key factor that enabled the thickness reduction was the enhanced luminance efficiency of the panel, Hitachi said. The new Hitachi PDP TV is reportedly able to ensure the luminance at a certain level with a lower input power, thereby making it easier to overcome a technical hurdle relating to the heat dissipation. In addition, the company employed a new technology for a heat dissipation mechanism, which is different from the technology used in the 35mm thick LCD TV released at the end of 2007. In Hitachi's latest prototype PDP TV, part of the power circuit is integrated with the back side of the display, whereas all the circuit boards are provided externally in Pioneer Corp's prototype 9mm thick 50-inch PDP TV. Hitachi's TV does not incorporate a tuner because it is a prototype.
Its really strange that Apple released two powerful desktop computers ahead of Macworld 2008. According to Cupertino based company, the Mac Pro and Xserve are their fastest machines with dual Intel 45nm quad core processors. The new Mac Pro is based on 3.2 GHz 8-core Xeon processor, providing 1600 MHz front side bus and 800 MHz memory.

Dell engineers are really working hard to outshine their rivals. After unveiling cool Crystal display Dell showcased a 16-inch concept XPS notebook at CES. The firm says movie buffs and videophiles are urged to check out a concept XPS laptop with a 16-inch 16:9 aspect display with full HD 1080p resolution. While most laptop available today feature a widescreen display, the true entertainment enthusiast knows that typical 14.1-, 15.4- and 17-inch notebook displays feature a 16:10 ratio versus the 16:9 aspect ratio used in most HDTVs. The most accurate representation of video content for select Blu-ray movies and digital TV is seen with a 16:9 display. When the source video is 16:9, the movie images will fill the entire 16-inch display with no letterboxing.
Iriver's ongoing teaser site has now been updated with a bevy of Spinn images, plus the first Lplayer shots we've seen anywhere. All we really picked up from the Spinn shots is that it'll be available in pure white or brush metal, but the Lplayer shots solved a couple mysteries. It looks like iriver is positioning the Lplayer as a sort of Clix mini, with a 2-inch display surrounded by almost zero bezel, and that same D*Click interface. Iriver looks to be further stressing the simplicity of the device with an ultra-minimal interface, but is spicing things up a little with a color selection of white, purple, brown and cyan.
Panasonic, a leader in High Definition technology, today announced the development of the world's first 32 Gigabyte (GB) SD High Capacity (SDHC) Memory Card with Class 6 speed specification, perfect for recording High Definition video. It has the ability to store up to eight hours of High Definition video. The card, launched alongside two SD card-carrying camcorders is described as "ideal for AVCHD High Definition video," and can hold over five hours of full resolution 1080i video. In digital camera terms, the card should be able to store around 6800 images from the latest 12MP compacts (assuming an average file size of around 4.5MB per image). Or more than 190 rolls worth of 36 exposure film, for those who still think in such terms. Certainly it's enough to last for even the most shutter-happy holidays. The card is also equipped with a new user-friendly labeling feature, which allows users to write titles or comments directly onto labels on the front and back of the card. Panasonic is planning to introduce the new labeling feature in its other SD Memory Card models, with a running changeover from the current card designs in spring 2008.
