Spend a few days and we inch reading – and watching – new information on the ATi 6870. This time is an image of the card, the XFX model that will sell who knows when, but hopefully soon.

We can clearly see how they will confirm the latest we had about it: Dual slot, dual DVI outputs, two HDMI miniDisplayPort and large dimensions and design much more square than previous models, which are allowed to see some curves. It also appears that ventilation remains intact, perhaps taking advantage of good temperature levels than the models resulted last year (we also analyzed the 5870 even in CrossFireX configurations.)

Another interesting, although in this case has nothing to do with the performance of the card, the ATI logo is gone, and as expected has introduced an AMD Radeon Graphics. It keeps the color red – characteristic green instead of AMD – but everything is intact, as it should be after the good harvest data in recent years at least in the graphics card industry, putting on many occasions NVidia on the ropes.

And yes, still no official release date for now. AMD / ATi is not giving a hurry to introduce this new generation of AMD 6000 Series, but can afford to see the advantage you have NVidia graphics … which is launching last year as the latest NVidia GT 430. Yes, I have a hunch that in the coming days we will have official and final date.

How to connect or communicate our devices at home is one of the existential questions that haunt me every night after leaving my laptop on their own after the workday at Engadget. Yes, serious professional bias.

So far, what is imposed is the use of DLNA (we recommend our what DLNA is and what I can use it), but the people behind the technology WDHI stalking. The CEO of the company Amimon has been released to the pool and said in an interview that by 2012, phones and tablets (the gadgets closer to the idea of sharing content with a TV, for example) may use the WHDI transmission even without a chip in between on both computers.

Recall that WHDI working on the 5 Ghz band, and promises to stream content to 1080p and 60 Hz with 12 bit color depth at a distance of 30 meters through walls, uncompressed, with a latency of less than one millisecond.

In a few days Microsoft is planning to show the world its new operating system Windows Mobile Phone 7 Series. They have confidence in the system, have the support of the brands (even tentatively) and the power of its brand, but in the world of mobile phones has been diluted in recent years to be almost a stranger.

But Microsoft has always been a business desktop, and that is where most likely they are to maintain their hegemony. The future of computing and the Internet are painted on mobile phones, tablet hybrid, and mobile devices in general, without specifying gender.

And in the desktop environment Microsoft has shown us its latest development environments based on gestures and not real. To give you an idea, Microsoft Surface table Lightspace mixture without table, and accessory Kinect no games involved.

Abandon all hope you who enter here. Abandon all hope if you think the Nokia N8 is a direct competitor of Desire HTC handsets as the HD, the Samsung iPhone Galaxy S or 4 because it is not (nor, probably, he wants to be). Give up hope if you are also those who love Nokia, Android and switched to expect them back N8 faith in Symbian. You will not find anything like that here.

Since its first appearance, the Nokia N8 has raised many expectations, perhaps too many. The design change, the interesting technical features, and discussed ad nauseum, and the debut of Symbian 3 have caused rivers of ink on the possibilities of the new flagship of the Finnish company.

After a long week of use, we have the bittersweet feeling that the Nokia N8 is a great phone that could have gone much further were it not for the baggage of an operating system that does not deserve. Undoubtedly, the N8 has its audience, but I doubt very much that the public comes from very advanced users or other operating systems than Symbian.

The optical fiber is the benchmark for broadband connections in the future, but not all countries can afford to provide sufficient infrastructure. Telephone copper wire is the real alternative at present, so Huawey, with vital presence in countries like China, has introduced a breakthrough for the DSL connection is still currently facing the optical fiber.

The development of copper wire has achieved a download speed of 700 Mb / s, a record that increases up to 7 times the current possibilities of such networks, keeping hope the same with technology, not limiting their use. Huawei puts it on the table of the operators network technology to build high-bandwidth and cost, for which technology has included SuperMIMO. more…

One of the most curious items throughout the IFA has been the TV Philips Cinema 21:9. New? Not quite, since it is a small development on the original model and tested in May last year but the main novelty, of course, 3D.

Philips 3D Cinema 21:9 is a bet on and for the cinema. Excellent quality thanks to resolution 2560 × 1080 pixels, very rare to see because so little strange format used by manufacturers, that 21:9 with which we can forget about most of the black stripes of the film and enjoy film, as is recorded, as is the format chosen by a majority of the total.

Although there are many photo and video cameras which are connected miniHDMI to be connected directly to a TV, in most cases, the passage of the same content from the TV is not direct. And we know that many video camera users do not want to go through the computer as an intermediary. The IO Data Portable Hard Drive HDPN-U500 / V acts as a bridge in this process.

With a very compact and visually attractive, this portable hard drive IO Data HDPN-U500 / V comes to market with a capacity of 500 GB and has major connections dis. On the one hand we find an integrated USB port that lets us connect the disk to a video or photo camera compatible, including the Sanyo Xacti, the JVC Everio or Sony Handycam camcorders. Of them can collect directly video files below, with HDMI port included, can be played directly on a TV. What the manufacturer is not clear if the disk itself which is responsible for supporting files play on your TV or acting as a mere warehouse.

As hard classic highlights its shockproof design and falls. As for the price, for now you can buy in Japan with a price of 150 euros to change.

It has been officially announced and opens the closure of videos, pictures and information on the Samsung Galaxy Tab, a device as shown in the video that accompanies the story is half way between a smartphone and a tablet, its 7-inch screen has a good share of the blame.

At last we can see in the appliance, no video presentations blurred or impressive to the gallery, and although we were not confirm some important technical details, it serves to whet your appetite before its official launch on 2 September

The latest Microsoft mouse is called Microsoft Mobile Mouse 4000, and his name says it all: it is a notebook mouse, these small, small and wireless where you have to highlight the design with which they seem to want to draw attention to other models maybe we could characterize as more boring.

Microsoft Mobile Mouse 4000 are presented in format to bring to accompany your laptop at any time. It is a wireless model, but unlike other models does not work through bluetooth but through a small USB adapter that adds the 2.4 GHz band for wireless transmission of information. Not far from a novelty, as there are dozens of models of all manufacturers that operate by this standard.

We call it so, mark the house because everything comes from its factories. Samsung SSD recent development born 470 belonging to the producer, who brings both memory chips and controllers and all the circuitry. In other words, known as SF-1200 SandForce so well has given many manufacturers (OCZ, Mushkin or Corsair, among many others).

The Samsung 470 are born with similar characteristics to those of other market SSD: 2.5-inch size, of course, a capacity of 64, 128 and 256 GB and theoretical speeds of 250 and 220 MB / S in reading and writing, respectively, which is not bad but neither are the best on the market. Draw attention to the curious case of
aluminum with which the device might be better in a display case inside a computer. Gone are those rough first SSD of the mark.
