David Gu has designed a handy kitchenware which will eleminate the boreness of cooking. Okay, not all people dislike cooking, but I'm sure there are some outthere. So, with this innovative "Cooking Audio Player", you can now boil the water, slice the onion, cut the salmon, and stir the mix with fun as it wil entertain you with music. In the concept, this "futuristic" kitchenware connects to your home PC, media center, and other portable media players through advanced wireless transmission technology in the future. But we've seen several home theater or speaker dock with wireless connection lately, so I guess it won't take much time in the future to bring the Cooking Audio Player to the production line. On the top, there's a flat stereo speaker which deliver the sound to the kitchen room. Users can control the music though the provided touch buttons. And apart from the entertainment purpose, the Cooking Audio Player doesn't forget its purpose as a kitchenware by offering a room for keeping daily-cooking-ingredients container for garlic, onions, lemons, gingers and etc. Maybe it's just me, but I do expect a "futuristic" cooking functionalities as well. |

 As I've mentioned before, Canon Imaging recently presented two new portable photo printers under the SELPHI line-up, the CP720 and CP730 models. Simply by looking at the model number, I'm sure you might already guess that the CP730 has more advanced features. And you're right. And the most noticeable difference, apart from its 178 x 131 x 65 mm dimensions, is the 2-inch colors LCD display, compared to CP720's 1.5-inch screen. However, on the printing quality side, this photo printer offers the same resolution as its siblings, a 300 x 300 dpi (256 gradatios/color) resolution. Weighs less than 1kg, SELPHI CP730 Portable Photo Printer comes with a variety of handy features, such as Trimming Mode, ID Phone Mode, Movie Print Mode, Print Effect Mode, Borderless Image Mode, and My Colors Mode. Like CP720, it also supports several printing sizes, including Postcard Size, Large Size, Card Size and Wide Size. Don't expect some information about the price and availability at the moment, but you can expect a bunch of accessories - Paper Cassette, Standard Sheet/Ink Cassette, Compact POWER Adapter, POWER Cord, Cleaner Stick and a CP Printer Solution Disk - bundled on the retail package when you purchased the printer later. |
