Mercedes Benz. It unveiled the new B-class Fuel-cell model in Germany recently. The car, which is a zero emission car, is the first model in the series of Hydrogen fuel cell cars from Mercedes.
Its performance is quite comparable to a 2.0-litre petrol car and is fully suited for everyday driving. The zero-emission drive system consumes the equivalent of 3.3 litres of diesel per 100 kilometres in the NEDC (New European Driving Cycle)
The new model does not compromise on boot space or leg room either. It is fully equipped with all the safety features and comfort as other fossil fuel models. Apart from the luxuries, the new model has been designed such that the customer does not have to compromise on driving experience due to its electric motor which delivers peak performance of 100 kW and a maximum torque of 290 Nm.
The car has an extremely efficient and high performance fuel system where gaseous hydrogen reacts with atmospheric oxygen at 700 bar to generate a current for the electric motor. The car even has cold-start capability.

LG Crystal Mobile Phones GD 900
LG are proud to unveil a new touch sensation, the LG GD900 Crystal. The transparent Crystal Touchpad is used like a mouse pad allowing you to glide, stroke and navigate with ease. Surfing the internet is effortless with high–speed browsing and it’s simple to edit photos taken with the 8 megapixel camera.
The transparent numberpad looks, to me anyway, rather cool, and there is no denying, even if you don't like it, that it is innovative. There are lots of touch control niceties here and on the screen. You can get through content such as photos by sweeping a finger horizontally across either the screen or the numberpad. Sweeping upwards opens an information screen telling you, for example, when a photo was taken, its resolution and file name.
Perhaps a bit more interesting is LG's Gesture Control, which is located on the numberpad, which, by the way, LG calls the Transparent Touchpad.
LG again uses its S-class 3D user interface in the Crystal. This comprises four main screens you finger-sweep on either the screen or Transparent Touchpad to get through. Dedicated to favourite contacts, multimedia, shortcuts and widgets, all can be customised. Whichever of the four you are on, links to the main menu, phone dialler, contacts and messaging are always present on a strip along the bottom of the screen.

the new concept uses a a three-cylinder turbodiesel and two electric motors and the total output is 262 kW/356 hp, maximum torque 800 Newton-metres/590 lb-ft. All-wheel drive featuring an electric motor on both the front and rear axle. The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h is made in just 4.8 seconds while the top speed achieved is limited at 250 km/h (155 mph). Fuel consumption is impressive: 3.76 litres/100 km (equal to 75.1 mph imp), CO2 emissions 99 grams/kilometre. As a plug-in hybrid, BMW Vision EfficientDynamics is able to cover the entire fuel consumption drive cycle under electric power alone. Taking the sources of energy used for generating the electric power consumed into account (EU electricity mix), this reduces the CO2 emission rating to just 50 grams per kilometre. Electric power is generated without the slightest increase in fuel consumption through a particularly efficient concept of Brake Energy Regeneration. Energy is stored in 98 lithium polymer cells. The car is able to cover a distance of approximately 50 km/31 miles in the electric mode alone. The impressive performances are also available due to the drag coefficient optimised to just 0.22.

Maruti Suzuki India launches Estilo with K-series engine
Maruti Suzuki India Limited, country's leading car maker, launched the Estilo with all-new overall looks and advanced technological features at a glittering ceremony
The Estilo represents Maruti Suzuki matching pace with the changing taste and lifestyle of 'Vibrant India'. The bolder new Estilo, designed to meet the aspirations of the Indian customer, is a heady-mix of sculpted features, bold designs, new exciting colours.
Leading the advanced technological features on the new Estilo are a new engine and a transmission system. Equipped with the popular 998cc K-series engine, the Estilo delivers a superior fuel efficiency of 18.2 kmpl (ARAI test results). This BSIV compliant engine makes the Estilo the second car in Maruti Suzuki stable that meets the BSIV norms much ahead of the effective date, April 2010.
The new Estilo comes with new efficient transmission technology and advanced 'Detent pin' gear shift mechanism for smooth and precise gear shift feeling for the customers.
Nokia 5530 XpressMusic going to be released in India
Nokia 5800 XpressMusic's smaller successor, the 5530 XpressMusic, is all set to make its India landing in the not too distant future. The phone, which is set for a global launch by month end, might just see a simultaneous launch in India. The phone can be termed a scaled down, better looking version of the 5800 XpressMusic.
The feature set is identical to the 5800 XpressMusic. However, some differences include the smaller screen and the slightly updated software. Unlike the 3.2-inch screen of the 5800 XpressMusic, this one is slightly smaller at just 2.9 inches. The resolution, however, remains the same at 360 x 640 pixels. Internal memory too has been reduced for 80MB to 70MB. The RAM on both phones remains the same at 128MB SD RAM. The reduced size does not really seem to help the 5530 shed weight which at 107 grams is negligibly lighter than the 5800 which tips the scales at 109 grams. Perhaps the main difference between the two is the non availability of 3G support in the 5530.

Brookstone Surround Sound Earbuds with Microphone
The Brookstone Surround Sound Earbuds are inexpensive, comfortable, and do a decent job of offering an open audio experience. If you frequently suffer from listener fatigue, definitely consider these headphones.
for the reasonable price of $35.
The Brookstone Surround Sound Earbuds offer a relatively basic design with two exceptions: a small, oblong mic built into the cable and dual 3.5mm plugs at the end. In fact, one of the plugs (colored pink) is specifically for a mic jack on your computer. The other one--colored green and labeled "SPK"--is for headphone ports. Unfortunately, from ear to plugs, the cable is only about 42-inches long, which made it impossible for me to sit up at my desk while having the plugs connected to the computer. Like many users, I keep my computer box on the ground, so if your system is up on your desk--or an all in one, like the iMac--you might not have a problem. Still, considering the earbuds are marketed for use with VoIP, I'm surprised the cable isn't adequately long. At least it's an easy fix: just pick up a headphone extender.
The earpieces of the Brookstone Surround Sound Earbuds are adequately comfortable. The earbuds come with a rubber fitting that helps them fit securely inside the ear; a couple standard foam covers are also included for added comfort. Integrated ear loops aim to keep the earbuds in place even during activity, but they are not adjustable and so might not work that well for those with non-average size ears. However, thanks to a lightweight design, the Surround Sound Earbuds will probably stay on most users just fine.

Logitech Performance Mouse MX and Anywhere Mouse MX
With Logitech Darkfield Laser Tracking, you can use your mouse virtually anywhere you want – including clear glass (that’s at least 4 mm thick) and high-gloss surfaces. This new technology is available in the Logitech Performance Mouse MX and the Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX, giving you the option of a full-size mouse or a more compact, notebook mouse.
To track on glass (that’s at least 4 mm thick), Logitech Darkfield uses dark field microscopy to detect microscopic particles and micro-scratches on these surfaces, rather than tracking the surface itself. Similar to the way in which our eye sees the clear night sky, the mouse’s sensor sees the clean areas of glass as a dark background with bright dots – the dust. Then, the sensor interprets the movement of these dots to track exactly where you’ve moved the mouse..In addition to providing unsurpassed cursor control, both of the new Logitech Performance Mouse MX and Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX feature Logitech Unifying receiver.

Asus Eee PC 1101HA Seashell (white)
Asus is perhaps best known for virtually creating the Netbook phenomenon with its line of inexpensive Eee PCs. The company has subsequently done a good job of refining and expanding on the Netbook experience, with systems such as the slim Eee PC 1005HA and the touch-screen Eee PC T91.
The latest move is to add an 11.6-inch display, which, while not currently a threat to popular 10-inch models, still shows a lot of promise for Netbooks becoming ever more useful to mainstream laptop users.
Asus' take on an 11.6-inch Netbook retains the slim, attractive styling of the 10-inch 1005HA, and wisely upgrades the screen to a higher-resolution 1,366x768 model. Like the first 11-inch Netbook we checked out, the Acer Aspire One 751h, it uses the Z520 version of Intel's Atom processor, instead of the more common (and faster) N270 and N280 CPUs
Nokia Corp., the world's largest maker of cell phones,to make laptops
Nokia Corp., the world's largest maker of cell phones, said Monday that it will start making a small, light laptop, similar to ones PC manufacturers are already selling through wireless carriers around the world.
The Finnish company says the Nokia Booklet 3G will run Microsoft Corp.'s Windows software, have a 10-inch screen and weigh 2.8 pounds. That puts it squarely in the "netbook" category pioneered by Taiwanese manufacturers like AsusTek Computer Inc.
Nokia said it would reveal the price and launch date of the PC on Sept. 2. Most netbooks sell for less than $500.
Nokia said its PC would be "satisfying a need" among wireless carriers. AT&T Inc. and Verizon Wireless have started selling netbooks in their stores, subsidizing the purchase for customers who sign up for wireless broadband plans. Sprint Nextel Corp. has started subsidizing netbooks sold at Best Buy. In Europe, many carriers started selling netbooks last year.
Unlike most netbooks, Nokia's Booklet will have a built-in GPS navigation chip coupled to Nokia's Ovi Maps software, and an aluminum cover to contrast with the usual plastic.
Nokia has previously tried to expand its portfolio beyond cell phones, making a "tablet" computer that runs non-Windows software.
