In addition to the MDR-RF4000K Digital Cordless Headphone, Sony also introduces the MDR-RF810RK Cordless Headphones. Like the MDR-RF4000K, the MDR-RF810RK features a 40mm driver for uncompromised sound, plus a convenient volume control for easy level adjustment.

The device is fairly lightweight for its size as it weighs 220g, offers 3mWx2 output power and can receive analogue RF signals transmitted from the up to 100m away. There is a NiMH battery which offers up to 13 hours listening time on a single charge.

Sony today officially announces its Vaio M Series Netbook which was first mentioned here sometime lastweek. The Vaio M Series gets an Intel Atom N450 1.66GHz processor, a 10.1 inch LED display with a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels, a 5400RPM 250GB hard drive and 1GB of RAM.

Other notable specs of the series includes a Bluetooth 2.1+EDR connectivity, WiFi 802.11b/g/n connectivity, three USB 2.0 ports, a pair of built in stereo speakers and as we guessed in our previous post, it will be running Windows 7 Starter Edition. The device weighs just about 1.3kg which is contributed by its 6-cell battery, there is no webcam but instead there is a Motion Eye camera embedded in the screen bezel for video chatting. It comes in the colors of black and white for a price of £299 or $450. No pricing information announced for the United States.

Lance Corporal Craig Lundberg was blinded by a rocket propelled grenade while on patrol in Basra in Iraq during 2007 but thanks to new glasses which is called the Brainport, the Blind soldier can now navigate his surrondings using his tongue. This new device is a mere technological marvel, the Brainport is a miniature video camera and sensory equipment works by converting visual images into a series of electrical pulses which are relayed to the wearer via their tongue. Different images are then built using different strength pulses then relays them to the wearer which allows him/her to navigate around objects or grab on to them and pick them up.

Presently the Brainport is only a prototype stage and sends information to 400 points on the tongue which the designers plan to increase to up to 4,000 points for clearer images in the future.
