“ENJOY”, eastern riders new movie…
“Dartmoor “ENJOY” is one of the biggest dirt/street/slopestyle bike movie projects in Poland. A sum of 14 riders – the Dartmoor team (mostly Polish riders but also some from the Czech Republic and Russia) and some friends. The footage was filmed 2009, all year long, featuring a lot of many sessions and contests in Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, Austria and Russia. So ENJOY!”
Harookz shooting in Malaga…
My buddy Harookz was one more time in Malaga, Spain, to shoot for Gravity with Smutok, Porter and Boyko. It seems that it was pretty sick as they were driven by Ruben himself. As it was a pro shooting, no riding pics to watch at the moment, but you can still wait by enjoying some snapshots of the trip here. Andrew McMullen was part of the trip also in order to bring some nice webvids soon to your eyes…He also shoot some nice pics that you can see here.

Budget 7″ & 8″ Android tablets from Archos
Archos is gunning for the more budget-sensitive crowd with the 7-inch “Archos 7 Home Tablet” running Android atop a 600MHz ARM9 CPU due in April for around $179.
The lower-powered CPU ought to be good for some nice, long battery life and the tablet is capable of basic web browsing and 720p video playback across a wide variety of codecs.
You can check out 8:35 of pure ebullience from one of Archos’ biggest fans, Charbax:
The tablet will be available in capacities of 2GB and 8GB, priced at 149 Euro and 179 Euro, respectively. Charbax says that US pricing for the 2GB version should be around $179 “because European countries have more taxes they don’t just convert Euro prices to US Dollar prices.”
Also announced was an 8-inch tablet/digital photo frame, the “Archos 8 Home Tablet,” which the company positions as “a product that can be used as a digital picture frame and as a mobile video player or Internet browser.” Sounds like it may be a photo frame with a (hopefully) rechargeable battery and some online-centric bells and whistles. It’ll be available in May in a 4GB capacity for 149 Euro, which will likely mean $179 in the US considering the Archos 7 also starts at 149 Euro and has been confirmed by Charbax to cost $179 US.
Not a whole lot of info yet, but these things are just starting to spill out. Archos has also said that it’ll be rolling out a range of new products sized between 3 and 10 inches and based on ARM Cortex CPUs up to 1GHz throughout the summer.

Samsung EX1 : super lighty lens.
Samsung EX1 digital camera : Samsung proudly introduces the 10 megapixel EX1 (also known as Samsung TL500 in the United States), a high-end compact digital camera designed specifically for today’s advanced and enthusiast photographers. The new flagship of the company’s compact digital camera family, the Samsung EX1 incorporates a range of advanced features, including a high-performance imaging sensor and one of the most impressive lenses ever found on a compact camera – a 24mm ultra-wide angle Schneider Kreuznach, f/1.8. The high-end Schneider lens offers a 24mm, ultra-wide focal length and 3x optical zoom. Much wider than traditional compact cameras, the 24mm lens allows photographers to capture more of a desired scene, such as beautiful landscapes and large groups of friends or family.
Samsung EX1 equipped with f/1.8 Schneider lens
The Samsung EX1 digital camera is sure to turn heads thanks to its f/1.8 Schneider lens. The impressive f/1.8 lens offers photographers a wider range of aperture steps and shallow depth-of-field, giving them the ability to blur out the background of their images while maintaining focus on their subjects. The ultra-fast, f/1.8 lens also allows users to take better photos in low-light environments as more light is passed through to the new high-performance 1/1.7” CCD sensor. Larger than the sensors typically found in compact digital cameras, the Samsung EX1’s 1/1.7” CCD offers unrivaled sensitivity (max ISO 3200/full-resolution). Together with Samsung’s re engineered and fast, DRIMeIII imaging processor, the Samsung EX1 captures high-quality images, regardless of the lighting environment. For blur free images, the Samsung EX1’s lens is also paired with Samsung’s Dual Image Stabilisation technology.
Samsung EX1 camera produces high quality images
“With the Samsung EX1, Samsung further differentiates its line-up from the competition and achieves yet another milestone in the industry,” said Steve Mitchell, General Marketing Manager, Samsung Digital Imaging. “With ultra-wide angle capability and unparalleled speed, the Samsung EX1’s lens offers a new level of versatility allowing the user to be more creative and take better pictures.”
Samsung EX1 features a 3″ AMOLED screen
Composing and reviewing images on the Samsung EX1’s three-inch, swiveling AMOLED screen is a pleasure. The rotating AMOLED display will allow photographers to precisely frame their images the way they want and shoot from just about any angle, including overhead or low-to-the-ground shots. Compared to the traditional TFT-LCD found on most digital cameras, the Samsung EX1’s AMOLED provides users with a higher contrast ratio, deeper blacks and more accurate, vivid colors, even when viewed from an angle or in direct sunlight. The Samsung EX1’s AMOLED display is also more efficient when it comes to power consumption, allowing photographers to maximize battery life and shoot longer on a single charge.
Samsung EX1 shooting options
The Samsung EX1 supports RAW and gives enthusiasts full control over their images thanks to its shutter priority, aperture priority and full Manual shooting modes. When using these settings, shooters can experiment with features such as slower shutter speeds and depth-of-field; however, for those who prefer ease-of-use over manual controls, the Samsung EX1 also offers Samsung’s Smart Auto 2.0 (Still & Movie) scene recognition technology. Applicable for video recording (640×480 / 30fps / H.264) and taking digital stills, this intelligent feature analyzes the scene and then automatically selects the appropriate settings for the best results possible. Using this mode is effortless and users don’t have to sacrifice image quality for simple operation.

Gesture Cube

“From pen and paper to typewriters we traveled onward to keyboards and input devices, and now further onward to touchscreens. But what’s after the touchscreen? What new interface will Apple or its challengers be generating buzz about in five or ten years?
This “Gesture Cube” interface concept could be it. Check out the video, even though it moves a bit slow for my tastes–I’d say you can skip the first 1:05 to get right to the cool stuff.
I can’t wait to see hardened pros using this thing as fast as a pro typist; it’ll look like they’re doing kung fu.
In any case, here’s the nitty-gritty:
Just wave your hand to access music, web, your family and friends. You don´t even need to touch the surface. Gesture Cube uses 3D spatial movement tracking to detect your hand´s approach and movements. It´s a magical experience. Using natural gestures to control our electronics helps to draw them closer to human behaviour, making things easier and more fun. The result is an intuitive product concept with unlimited possibilities.
LUNAR Europe designed Gesture Cube as a three-dimensional object without a clear front to allow a wider range of gestures for its interface, to show different levels of an application or to conveniently multitask between various applications. The Gesture Cube´s design is simple yet so beautiful it also acts as a sculptural icon in your living space.
Gesture Cube is a joint development by three partnering companies:
Product Design by LUNAR Europe, User Interface Design by ZINOSIGN and Technology by IDENT Technology AG.” Core 77.
