Turn Your TV Into an Android Tablet!

Infinitec Pocket TVThis is one cool, geeky device. I saw it on Tekzilla this week. Can haz? It turns your TV into a HUGE Android tablet. How cool is that?

Infinitec Pocket TV

“The Pocket TV might be small in size but it has great power within. It rocks a Cortex A9 processor packing 1GHz of power, 1GB of RAM and runs Android 4.0 (which works similarly to Apple’s iOS for you Apple fans!). It uses the HDMI port of any TV for display and can be controlled with either the standard IR remote or the more interactive Air Remote. You can connect it to any TV set as long as it has a HDMI port and it can display up to 1080p resolution. The USB port allows you to attach an external hard drive, a wireless keyboard and mouse or a video camera for video calls. You can even bump up the storage by inserting an SD card into the Micro SD card slot.

Unboxing
The Pocket TV is ready to go out of the box. Just unpack it, connect it to your TV and you can start using it immediately. It comes with two cables, a power adapter, an infrared remote and the Infinitec Air Remote. The miniUSB cable is for powering up your Pocket TV and can be connected directly to the power adapter or alternatively can be plugged into a free USB port on your TV (only for power). The other cable is the signal receiver for the infrared remote and must be connected to the jack port of the Pocket TV. Once you have your cables connected your Pocket TV will power up bringing the full power of Android to your TV screen.

Air Remote
The first time you use the Air Remote you will find that it takes your hands a few minutes to adjust to the sensitivity of your motions. Within a few hours you’ll feel right at home, clicking, pointing and swiping like a pro!

Ports
The Pocket TV has four ports: a microUSB port for power, a microSD card slot, an output jack and a regular USB port for connecting peripherals. In order to start using your Pocket TV you need to power it up by connecting a power source to the microUSB port. For this you can use the attach cable and connect it either to the power adapter or to a USB port on your TV. We recommend you use the power adapter since the power source from the TV can be a bit jittery and may not always power up your Pocket TV correctly. You can attach the infrared cable into the jack port you plan to use the infrared remote which is won’t be necessary if you plan use the Air Remote. To use the Air Remote simply connect the USB receiver for the Air Remote to the USB port of the Pocket TV. The USB receiver can be found under the back cover of the Air Remote. We also recommend you add a USB hub to the Pocket TV in case you want to connect multiple peripherals at the same time such as a camera or a hard disk. Additionally the microSD card slot can be used to add up to 32GB of storage to your Pocket TV.

Plug and Play
Once you’ve connected your Pocket TV you’re all set up! It takes a few seconds to start up your device and the first time you do that you’ll get a setup process that will guide you through the steps of setting up your Pocket TV. Once that’s done you can begin playing with your Pocket TV just like you would if you had just bought a new tablet.”

Mailbox Bought By Dropbox

This would be bigger news to me if Mailbox supported Android OS… hear that, Dropbox?

Seen on the DropBox Blog on March 15th:

“Today we’re really excited to welcome the Mailbox team to Dropbox.

Like many of you, when we discovered Mailbox we fell in love—it was simple, delightful, and beautifully engineered. Many have promised to help us with our overflowing inboxes, but the Mailbox team actually delivered.

After spending time with Gentry, Scott, and the team, it became clear that their calling was the same as ours at Dropbox—to solve life’s hidden problems and reimagine the things we do every day. We all quickly realized that together we could save millions of people a lot of pain.

Dropbox doesn’t replace your folders or your hard drive: it makes them better. The same is true with Mailbox. It doesn’t replace your email: it makes it better. Whether it’s your Dropbox or your Mailbox, we want to find ways to simplify your life.

We’re all looking forward to making Mailbox even better and getting it into as many people’s hands as possible. There’s so much to do and we’re excited to get started!”

Ubuntu Gnome Remix – The Latest “Flavor” of Ubuntu!

Gnome folks rejoice, Gnome is now officially an Ubuntu “flavor!” So, if you don’t like the Unity interface, drop it like a hot rock!

Ubuntu Linux gets a new official flavor

“Ubuntu fans may recall Ubuntu Gnome Remix, the unofficial flavor of the Linux distribution that was launched last fall for users not fond of the software’s default Unity desktop environment.

Following hard on the heels of the release of Ubuntu 12.10 ‘Quantal Quetzal,’ the new Gnome Remix version was created ‘to bring the best of Gnome to Ubuntu users,’ in the words of its developers.

Well, this week the new flavor was made an official part of the Ubuntu Linux family, giving it full access to infrastructure support, publicity, and other benefits from Canonical and the Ubuntu community.

‘There was strong demand’
‘We are pleased to announce that Ubuntu Gnome is now an official Ubuntu flavor,’ read the announcement on the Ubuntu mailing lists on Monday. ‘Our first release for 12.10 showed that there was a strong demand for a great Gnome experience on Ubuntu, and we are now working towards our second release based on Ubuntu 13.04,’ the developers added.

Not to be confused with the also-new ‘classic mode’ that aims to bring back the look and feel of the old, beloved Gnome 2, Ubuntu Gnome Remix aims instead to make the most of Gnome 3.6, which is part of the new, mobile-inspired branch of the desktop family.

Both Unity and Gnome 3 have been controversial additions to the Linux desktop world, inspiring the launch not just of the new Gnome classic mode but also brand-new contenders including the Mate and Cinnamon desktops and distributions including SolusOS and Fuduntu.

Daily builds are coming
In any case, the newly official and freshly renamed Ubuntu Gnome project will not participate in the expected release this week of the first beta version of Ubuntu 13.04, but it does plan to release images for the final beta at the end of the month, according to the announcement.

Meanwhile, daily image builds should be available within a few weeks, the developers said. Ubuntu Gnome 13.04 will also include Gnome 3.6, but Gnome 3.8 will be available from the Gnome3-team Personal Package Archive (PPA) repository.

The project is now included among the official flavors on the Ubuntu wiki, and a dedicated mailing list has been established for it.

To get a taste of this latest Ubuntu flavor for yourself, download Ubuntu Gnome Remix 12.10 from the project site. A page on the Ubuntu Wiki details the other ‘Recognized Flavors’ of the free and open source operating system.”
