Philips announces Bluetooth capable GoGear Luxe
Usually, MP3 players serve only a few purposes such as playing audio and probably video. It is pretty rare to find good Bluetooth embedded in an MP3 player. However, Philips has recently announced their new MP3 player that incorporates Bluetooth 2.1 technology for hands free calling.
The GoGear LUXE is a MP3 player that pairs to your handset via Bluetooth. If you play a lot of music on your phone, you know what a battery drain that can be—the LUXE would alleviate that problem.
Asus updates Eee PC drivers to add USB TV tuner support
Asus is updating the Linux drivers of the Asus Eee PC to make its My Cinema U3100 Mini DVD-T and DMB-TH tuners work. Based on results of preliminary testing, the Linux drivers now work well with the USB TV Tuners, except for the H.264 software decoding. This means that HDTV channels won’t be able to broadcast properly in the Eee. Other TV channels that broadcast using MPEG-2 will work just fine, but as of now it will not support any recording. But hey, with such limited on-board storage and slow processing you wouldn’t want to be recording too much anyway, better leave that function for your desktops or other equally powerful laptops.
The TV tuner compatibility certainly adds up to the already great features of the Asus Eee PC. It’s no wonder that many sub-notebook manufacturers are following the path of the Asus and are coming out with their own versions of the Eee PC.
