			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever need just a little more real estate on your computer screen? I certainly could. I spend an inordinate amount of time using programs like Photoshop and Flash, and could always use an extra place to put all those little palettes and menus.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4831 aligncenter" title="mimo_7_lcd_screen" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/mimo_7_lcd_screen.jpg" alt="mimo 7 lcd screen" width="520" height="388" /></p>
<p>These new <a href="http://mimo.bz/">MIMO</a> displays from Korea&#8217;s <a href="http://www.nanovision.co.kr">Nanovision</a> let you add a tiny 7&#8243; LCD to your PC as a secondary monitor. Each mini-widescreen monitor features a sharp 800&#215;480 display resolution, and can be rotated into landscape or portrait modes.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4832 aligncenter" title="mimo_7_lcd_screen_3" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/mimo_7_lcd_screen_3.jpg" alt="mimo 7 lcd screen 3" width="520" height="354" /></p>
<p>Just connect the MIMO display to your computer&#8217;s USB 2.0 port, install the included software, and you&#8217;ll be up and running. You can even connect multiples to the same PC without need for any special video card. They each just show up as additional monitors under your Windows display properties.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4833 aligncenter" title="mimo_7_lcd_screen_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/mimo_7_lcd_screen_2.jpg" alt="mimo 7 lcd screen 2" width="520" height="520" /></p>
<p>The UM-710 model (98,000 KRW / $78 USD) is the basic version, while the UM-750 (183,000 KRW / $147 USD) adds a touchscreen, a built-in webcam and a DMB television tuner (perfect if you happen to watch TV in Korea).</p>
<p>At this point, MIMO displays are only available in Korea, but hopefully they&#8217;ll find their way stateside at some point in the near future. For now, you&#8217;ll have to head on over to <a href="http://www.worldlingo.com/S1790.5/translation?wl_srclang=ko&amp;wl_trglang=en&amp;wl_url=http://www.funshop.co.kr/vs/detail.aspx?categoryno=360&amp;itemno=6367">Funshop Korea</a> and admire them from afar.</p>
<p>[UPDATE: I managed to find some similar Samsung displays that you actually CAN buy outside of Korea. <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2008/10/16/samsung-digital-frames-double-as-a-second-pc-monitor/">Click here to read more</a>.]</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems that every few weeks, the Korean tech market reveals some new all-in-one gadget that makes me drool. The latest and greatest PMP (personal media player) to come out of the East Asian nation features just about everything you&#8217;d ever want in a portable electronic device. The Windows CE-based <a href="http://www.maxian.co.kr/product/product_E900T.asp">Maxian E900T</a> is much more than your typical portable media player.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/maxian_e900t.jpg" alt="maxian e900t"  title="maxian e900t photo" /></p>
<p>Sure, it&#8217;s got a razor-sharp 4.3&#8243; 800 x 480 resolution touchscreen for playing video in WMV, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DiVX/XviD and H.264 formats. It&#8217;s certainly adept at playing just about any audio format you can throw at it, including WMA, AAC, MP3, and OGG. Heck, it even supports the real-time display of lyrics for tracks tagged with <a href="http://sites.rapidus.net/gpatrick/en/indexen.html">SYLT encoding</a>.</p>
<p>But the device goes well beyond mere media player. The E900T might just be robust enough to be the hub for your entire digital life.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/maxian_e900t_hands.jpg" alt="maxian e900t hands"  title="maxian e900t hands photo" /></p>
<p>At home, the E900T can connect to your home theater system, pushing out 720p high-def video, accompanied by Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound. If that&#8217;s not enough, the audio is powered by the critically-acclaimed Burr-Brown processing circuitry, and is output through a digital S/PDIF connection.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/maxian_e900t_antenna.jpg" alt="maxian e900t antenna"  title="maxian e900t antenna photo" /></p>
<p>When you&#8217;re ready to get up off of your couch and head out, grab your Maxian and hit the road. In the car, the E900T slides into an optional windshield antenna/dock to enable robust GPS navigation capability. There&#8217;s also a DMB television receiver, which handles Korea&#8217;s digital over-the-air television signals with aplomb, so you passengers can travel without missing their favorite programs.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/maxian_e900t_gps.jpg" alt="maxian e900t gps"  title="maxian e900t gps photo" /></p>
<p>But that&#8217;s not all. Order today, and they&#8217;ll throw in a robust electronic dictionary system (called <a href="http://saydicxt.edupie.co.kr/">SayDic</a>), complete with English to Korean translation capabilities. Oh yeah, the device can also display documents in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Acrobat PDF, and HTML formats. There&#8217;s even support for Adobe Flash media playback.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/maxian_e900t_dictionary.jpg" alt="maxian e900t dictionary"  title="maxian e900t dictionary photo" /></p>
<p>The E900T comes in either a 30GB (white) or 60GB (blue black) version, and storage can be expanded using a built-in SD/MMC card reader. As is typically the case with these kind of Korean technological wonders, I doubt we&#8217;ll ever see these stateside. But if you&#8217;re willing to do a little research, translate a little Korean and pay for some overseas shipping, you might be able to get your hands on one.</p>

<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/doori_dmb_tv.jpg" alt="doori dmb tv"  title="doori dmb tv photo" /></p>
<p>The Doori insect TV tuner looks like a giant ladybug and clips onto your laptop or flat screen to provide your computer with digital television capabilities. In addition to TV reception, the Doori functions as a USB storage device and also comes with DVR software for recording over-the-air broadcasts. Unfortunately, the Doori only receives signals in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Multimedia_Broadcasting">DMB</a> format, the digital standard in South Korea, with limited use anywhere else at this point.</p>
<p>So if you happen to live in Korea, you can pick one up from <a href="http://www.itcomputer.com/product/product.asp?ano=17&amp;bno=1722&amp;cno=172213&amp;pcode=1110130248">ITComputer</a> for KRW 76,000 (about $80 USD.)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The latest media player from iRiver has got to be one of the most beautifully designed gadgets I&#8217;ve seen in a while.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/iriver_nv.jpg" alt="iriver nv"  title="iriver nv photo" /></p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.iriver.co.kr/event/2007/SEK2007/c_event.asp">iRiver NV</a> features a clean minimal design with a large 7-inch LCD screen. Its primary input device is a dramatic scroll wheel, which happens to feature a functional color display in the middle of it for displaying context-sensitive icons and information.</p>
<p>The player doesn&#8217;t just look drop-dead gorgeous, it&#8217;s loaded with just about every feature you could want. Sure, the player can handle a wide variety of audio and video formats, but it&#8217;s also got GPS navigation under the hood and can receive DMB digital television signals as well. There&#8217;s also a digital camera (although it&#8217;s only 1.3MP), and an FM transmitter for broadcasting sound to your car stereo.</p>
<p>The display has a nice white LED backlight for low power consumption, and a whopping 800 x 480 resolution, which should make anything you play on it look great. The clean Flash-based <a href="http://www.iriver.co.kr/event/2007/sek2007/img/menu.swf">interface</a> is also quite striking, and as a side benefit, allows the player to handle Flash content.</p>
<p>At this point, all we know about the NV is that it&#8217;ll ship in Korea later this year, but I&#8217;m hoping we&#8217;ll see it or some similar model in other parts of the world sometime in the near future.</p>
