Acer is the leading brand in laptop, netbook, desktop PC and notebook in Malaysia and becomes the brand widely trusted by Malaysians. At the first time we read about Acer A1 we could wait to know how well this phone performs and what could it deliver for the user.

From the press release, Acer says A1 is powered by Qualcomm process that has 768 megahertz capacity and factory oulet 256MB of RAM. The screen is 3.3inch wide using WVGA touchscreen, it also has 5MP digital camera with auto focus technology.

OmniZero.9 Robot Transform Into A Moving Vehicle



If you watch Transformers movie you may wonder which category this robot is. From the video above we can say the orange robot is the good Autobot. OmniZero.9 is a new robot that transforms into a rolling vehicle (and vice versa).

This new robot can stand like a human and then transfrom into a small car, or a shape similar to a car from certain type of view. The robot stands 3.5 foot tall, weights at 55 pound. OmniZero.9 can carry a person and moves anywhere.

But we doubt if the robot can perform much complicated task and move to gravel ground, and what the purpose of its creation really?. Compared to Asimo, OmniZero.9 created with much advance robotic technology.

The technology learned from the robot can be used in military, defense or national security and it can enter places where human cannot go. The source didnt tell us how long the robot's batter can last and how long for us to recharge it back. Maybe this robot can become useful for family and friends more than just used to have fun.

Sony PSP-3000 Price Drops Down

Sony PSP-3000
Price go down, means we can buy a gadget cheaper from its selling price, saves a lot of our money. Sony (Japan) drops down the selling price of PSP-3000, first version of (playstation protable) according to latest news from PCWorld. The price change take place in Japan only. Original price for PSP-3000 is 19,800 yen ($220 US Dollar), discounted at 3000 yen making the new price dropped down to 16,800 yen (about $185 US Dollars). In our opinion, Sony makes the price move for two reason. First reason, to compete with Nintendo DSi which sells at 18,900 Yen (about $210 US Dollar). Second, to push their new Sony PSP Go into the market which priced at $250 US Dollar in America.

Hopefully, we can catch a flight to Japan to buy cheaper. But, why need to spend money to buy the latest PSP Go if you still can enjoy playing PSP-3000 for a few months before buying PSP Go? More, during the forth coming months, maybe 6-7 monts from now, PSP Go will go down in price too. During the time, you can collect some money to buy the PSP Go. This tactic takes a lot of time and a lot of patience.

The invention of USB 3.0 makes small storage such as thumb drive or flash drive become faster, saves a lot of time and energy. What makes USB 3.0 so special is the speed factor, it delivers larger bandwidth - up to 5 Gbits/s full duplex (compared to 480 Mbits/s simplex for USB 2.0) according to Embedded.com.

Maybe in the coming months we will see many thumb drives, USB broadband modems and flash drives comes with USB3.0 technology, only price matters.
