Eco Factor: Printer uses recycled paper for packaging.

Instant Cartridge Printer makes printing as simple as ABC. The recycling printer concept by designer Yuexun Chen is based on the idea that ‘package is part of the product’ and hence tries to simplify the process of recycling printer. The printer’s packaging is made from recycled paper and is tough enough to protect the inkjet inside the package.

One of the first all-in-one desktop computers I ever laid eyes on was a widescreen beauty from Sony. Nearly seven years later, the company’s latest entry into an increasingly crowded market brings multi-touch, high definition multimedia entertainment in a powerful and attractive package. The VAIO J Series sports the latest Intel Core processors and GeForce graphics, backed up by generous system memory and a good sized hard drive. It also brings an adaptive and intuitive media application to the party, along with an easy launch program bar across the top of the desktop screen.

The LumiRead promises to be both ultra thin and very lightweight, and will sport a sunlight-friendly 6 inch e-Ink display with a QWERTY keyboard underneath. It will be capable of storing well over 1,000 books on its 2GB of internal memory but is infinitely expandable via microSD. Just as well really, as the company has scored content deals with big players like Barnes & Noble in the U.S., Libri in Germany and Founder in China, making millions of eBooks available. French and Italian readers will shortly be able to enjoy content in their own languages too.

No matter how advanced, progressive, sleek and lightweight our laptops get, the one thing that we sorely miss is an elaborate keyboard. I know of someone who uses his Macbook but in conjunction with a wireless keyboard. Many hybrids and self-built versions are out there being used by folks, so the question really is, are we happy with what the industry is dishing out to us? Or do we have to lust after Utopian concepts like the iWEB 2.0…with really drool-worthy features!

For someone who stares at a monitor for most part of the day, an e-book reader is not such a novelty. No matter how convenient it may be, but at the end of the day it’s still a screen! Can anything replace the smell of fresh, crisp paper? Alas, this is 2010 and the gadget-freaks are going to want more “tech” stuff, and this Library e-book Reading Device caters to their whims. It simulates actual page flipping (by rotating two mechanical rollers at the edge), features multi-touchscreen for bookmarks (no dog-ear pages!) that become visible when the book is closed.

While the Bookmarks are featured on the front page of the Library, the back hosts the index for all the loaded books. The system gets funkier with the “keyboard mode”, where it simulates a laptop, allowing you to browse though a virtual bookshelf and online stores.

From what I see, most e-books try and replicate the experience of reading traditional books. But from experience I can say, that it’s easier to throw a book at your lazy spouse, than an e-book; especially in a fit of rage!

Conceived by British designer Umang Dokey, the “Portable Workstation” is an innovative system that presenting an automatic opening mechanism unfolds into a notebook or laptop for the users on the go. Featuring a folding base for better heat ventilation, the portable system also includes a digital pen that lets professionals draw and write on the screen. The cover of the workstation doubles as a detachable keyboard for the ease of use. Integrating an enhanced hardware as well as software, the system turns into a digital DJ turntable to connect the laptops of a number of DJs while playing. The Portable Workstation not just accommodates all the arrangements in one compact station, but it also features a flexible mechanism to allow different working or viewing positions to the users.

Can’t get enough of the Entourage Edge? We feel you. It’s easily a sight for sore eyes in the pool of me-too e-readers, and while we’ve learned that it has plenty of power under the hood to handle quite a few desirable tasks, we’ve yet to really see the software do its thing in any real capacity. Until now, of course. The video posted up after the break is as good a look of the inner workings as we’ve seen, and the company has contacted us directly to affirm that the Feburary 2010 ship date is still on track. To be honest, we’re really digging what we’re seeing on screen, but a premedidated demonstration and real-world usability are certainly horses of different hues. Here’s hoping we get a tick to play with a production unit ourselves at CES, but till then, you know where to head.

I quite agree with Je Sung Park when he says that disposable cameras and cell phones have gained acceptance, so why don’t we take the next step and bring out a disposable computer. His Recyclable Paper Laptop is quite a raw version and could do with some refinement. It uses recycled paper or pulp material all packed in layers. This is so that you can easily replace the damaged portions (even corrugated paper will tear easy). The vibe of a Paper Laptop is intriguing, I kno eventually someone will figure out the tech bit, so let’s see who will take the bait.

Remember IBM’s ThinkPad 701 with the butterfly keyboard? This isn’t it, it’s better… conceptually anyway.
