Verizon Wireless makes Moto Q9c available

Verizon Wireless seems to be on a warpath here, having recently released the BlackBerry Curve 8330 earlier this week, only to follow up that move by announcing the availability of the Moto Q9c on its online store as well as all Verizon Wireless business sales channels from today (May 9) onwards. For those who have been lusting after this smartphone, you can pick it up from any Verizon Wireless Communications Stores, including those in Circuit City, within the coming weeks as shipments start to arrive. This smartphone targets business professionals and boasts some pretty powerful capabilities, including access to over 14 million points of interest thanks to Verizon Wireless’ very own popular VZ Navigator service. Other specifications can be found after the jump.

• Windows Mobile 6 Standard - access to POP3 or IMAP4 e-mail accounts
• Documents To Go - read, edit and create Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents
• Full QWERTY keyboard with dedicated “hot keys” for shortcuts to popular applications
• 2.4″ color screen with innovative adaptive technology to adjust for optimized brightness for indoor and outdoor lighting to maximize battery power
• 1.3 megapixel camera with flash and fixed focus, plus video capture and playback
• 128 MB of on-board memory and optional removable memory future-proofed up to 32 GB (sold separately)
• Voice-activated dialing
• Smart contacts dialing
• Speakerphone
• Stereo Bluetooth wireless technology supporting both Bluetooth A2DP and AVRCP profiles

I must say that I am pretty disappointed with the 1.3 megapixel camera. Granted, this is not meant to be a performance handset of any sorts, and for a business phone to have a camera, it can be considered a bonus, but surely Motorola could do better than a mere 1.3 megapixels, right? Isn’t 2 the norm these days, not to mention 3.2 megapixels slowly but surely being the mainstay soon? If you’re interested in picking up the Moto Q9c, it will cost you $249.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and a new two-year customer agreement.

Green House EXC-ESA2

Green House has just released its GH-EXC-ESA2 card that increases the connectivity of your notebook. It will feature a couple of 3.0Gbps eSATA slots, a JBOD external drive, and support for RAID 0/1. Not only will it come in the older PCMCIA Type II model, there will also be a PCI Express version. Both devices have been certified to run on both Windows XP and Vista, so Mac owners are out of the loop yet again. Bummer! No idea on how much this costs, nor whether it will be available outside of Japan or not.

Fool burglars with a realistic security camera with working LEDs

If you own a small business or just have a lot of valuables in your home, you’ve probably considered purchasing a couple of security cameras. Unfortunately such things cost money, and thus aren’t always an option. If you’re only mildly concerned that people are going to try and break into your place, why not get a couple of dummy cameras instead?

Sure, you don’t have the comfort of knowing that you’ll catch thieves on tape should they break into your house or business, but that’s not really the point of having a fake camera. There’s a good chance that if the dummy cam is placed in a very conspicuous area and looks good enough, anyone looking to break in would just move along to the next house.

This Dummy IR LED Bullet Camera certainly looks real enough to make just about anyone think they’re being watched. They’ve added in LEDs which are activated by a photocell, which would be enough for me to believe it’s real. The cameras are far cheaper than the real things at $34.99. Then again if someone figures out your ruse, you’ll wish you had gotten live cameras.

MacBook Pro - Everything but the desk.

The new MacBook Pro features the latest mobile processor from Intel. The Intel Core 2 Duo runs on 45-nm process technology at speeds up to 2.6GHz with up to 6MB of L2 cache. Its SSE4 vector engine handles 128-bit computations in a single clock cycle, accelerating data manipulation by simultaneously applying a single instruction to multiple data. That means you can get more done in less time. The new Intel processor and advanced system architecture make MacBook Pro one of the most sophisticated notebooks on the planet.

Multi-Touch technology from iPhone, iPod touch, and MacBook Air comes to MacBook Pro in an amazing new Multi-Touch trackpad. Now you can pinch, swipe, or rotate to enlarge text, advance through photos, or adjust an image. MacBook Pro has a standard hard drive up to 250GB and up to 4GB of RAM. So there’s more room for even bigger ideas.

Connect storage, multimedia devices, and high-speed peripherals to your MacBook Pro. Along the sides, you’ll find a FireWire 400 port, a FireWire 800 port, a DVI port, optical audio in and out ports, and an ExpressCard slot. There are three USB 2.0 ports on the 17-inch MacBook Pro and two on the 15-inch models.

MacBook Pro sounds as good as it looks, with unprecedented attention to audio detail. For musicians on the go, MacBook Pro offers pristine sound through crisp, clear stereo speakers, a built-in microphone, and optical digital audio on both input and output.
