Toshiba is going on the offensive in the DVD wars with a new player that promises near HD quality from standard DVDs. The XD-E500 uses Toshiba’s new eXtended Detail Enhancement (XDE) technology to deliver a 1080p picture on HDTVs. The player also offers three modes to further enhance the quality of the picture. Sharp mode scans the entire picture that is being displayed and then adds detail enhancement to make images crisper. Color mode primarily enhances blues and greens and is recommended for outdoor scenes, while contrast mode helps bring more detail to scenes with less light. The new player will go for $149.99 and can also play DivX, MP3s, WMA and display JPEGs, a capability that is now standard in most DVD players. The new DVD player will only improve the picture for an HDTV, but the XD-E500 is priced significantly lower than Blu-ray players and you don’t have to trade in your old DVDs to get a better viewing experience.

Apple had a huge success with the iPhone, the iPhone 3G and with the iPod Nano in all countries where these products were sold. However, specialists and users said that these gadgets are incomplete and they could use some adjustments, so a series of rumors appeared, of which the most exciting rumor is the iPhone nano. This rumor is more than one year long, but it was just resurrected by the Daily Mail. They got the rumor from a trusted industry source. This iPhone iPod nano could prove to be even more successful than Apple’s other products and one advantage is that it will be released just days before Christmas and will make a perfect gift.

Meet the Deus Ex Machina, a wearable motorbike that brings superhero-style transport into the real world (almost). The pretentiously named vehicle clamps to the rider like Ripley’s exoskeleton in Aliens, and will power them to 60 mph in just three seconds, topping out at 75 mph. Of course, even with three wheels the upright design would be unstable at that speed, which is why the skelebike moves the rider into a scary head-first horizontal position as it gets faster. Sensors detect the wearer’s movements and send them to 36 pneumatic muscles which control the positioning and steering of the machine. (via wired.com)

If you’ve been wanting to try out one of those Sansa Shaker MP3 players that can be shaken in order to skip to the next song, Amazon has cut their price on the 512MB version to a mere $17, enabling such ideas as loading one up with a mix of songs and giving it to someone as a gift. Its 512MB of expandable memory can fit about six hours of music encoded at 192 Kbps. The diminutive, screenless Sansa Shaker supports only MP3s and has a built in speaker on the top, an SD Card expansion slot, two headphone jacks for sharing with a friend and simple twister controls for volume and next/last song on the top and bottom rims.
