With all the hype and anticipation I thought the Google Nexus One sales would be off the charts but I guess the Sexy Nexy doesn’t have what it takes to win the smartphone popularity contest. Comparing the Nexus One sales statistics to the iPhone and the Droid you’ll notice that no one really wants to be trapped in Google’s ridiculous policies.

The relative sales results, shown on the chart above and using estimates by Flurry Analytics, aren’t pretty for Google. Granted, it’s not an entirely fair comparison. Droid and the iPhone were marketed within an inch of their lives, and had better carrier support than the Nexus One does on T-Mobile. But even taking that into consideration, 80,000 phones in a month? That’s borderline embarrassing.

The Asus MS238H 23-Inch LED-Backlit LCD Monitor weighing in at just 3.8kg comes in a glossy black bezel and measures 56.7×40.7×15.1 (cm) in dimension. The MS238H widescreen monitor provides 1920×1080 full HD resolution, 10,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, a maximum brightness of 250 cd/m2, a 2ms response time (G2G), and has both D-Sub and HDMI connectors. The Asus MS238H LCD Monitor will be available later this year for about U$290.

The new graphic card from MSI is not following in the footsteps of the HD 5450 but that of the Radeon HD 5770, and is is optimized for high-end performance. The new graphic card namely the “R5770 Hawk” integrates a 1GB of GDDR5 VRAM set at 4800 MHz, a core clock of 850MHz; 800 Stream Processors; a 128-bit memory interface; a 7+1-phase power supply, which enables an overclocking ability by up to 20%; and a Twin Frozr II cooling system. The R5770 Hawk has DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs for Eyefinity, as well as CrossFireX support. The MSI R5770 is expected to be released in the coming weeks for under $200.

Protoscar unveils its electric sports car prototype LAMPO2 at the Geneva Motor Show 2010

LAMPO2 is an electric demonstration sports car conceived by Protoscar, a Swiss company which has been developing CleanCar projects for 23 years including consulting of OEMs, power utilities and governments. The LAMPO2 boasts “quick-charging” capability (up to 100 km range extension in just 10 minutes charging time) and will be presented at the Geneva Motor Show (2nd March 2010) on the e’mobile stand Nr. 5141.

LAMPO2 is an even more energy efficient successor to the LAMPO demonstration vehicle presented in 2009. Weight, aerodynamics and the efficiency of individual components of the BRUSA drive train have been further optimized in order to reach a world-class energy consumption of less than 100Wh/km-ton under real conditions. LAMPO2 is equipped with 4 different charging modes:

• standard single-phase with up to 3,3kW on board charger for typical overnight home-charge,
• “control-pilot” equipped and (EDF provided) PLC single-phase with 6,6kW on board charger typical for public charging,
• standard three-phase 9,9kW on board charger typical for charging at industrial plugs (fleet-owners) and
• an interface for DC fast charging (able to transmit a max. power of 80kW), where up to 100km of additional range can be charged within just 10 minutes, by an off-board system, so that the different solutions can be compared in terms of usability and efficiency by being demonstrated in real conditions.

There are quite a few portable printers out there but none is like the Stick POP; well, not as small. This portable printer was not designed to handle heavy loads, but it can be very useful for printing on-the-go. It is just 23×6 (cm) in dimension, making it easy to fit in a handbag or for instance my pants pocket. Just connect it to your computer/device via USB, additionally there is an OLED screen to displays the printing status.
