What is Blu-ray? No, it’s not a creature of the deep or any mythical beast. Blu-ray is a third-generation digital media or data storage technology from the Blu-ray Disc Association, an assembly of corporate media and electronics technology leaders. Blu-ray discs are currently competing with HD-DVD to become the new optical disc format. They have much more storage capacities and data transfer speeds than conventional DVD’s and CD’s.

Blu-ray Disc Versus Other Optical Discs

A Blu-ray disc, looks much like any other optical disc, including first-generation CDs, second-generation DVDs, and the competing third-generation HD DVDs.

A Blu-ray disc system uses a blue-violet laser with a wavelength of 405 nanometers to write and read data on the optical disc. This laser is the source of Blu-ray’s name and the technology which differentiates Blu-ray from previous generation optical media.

The 405 nanometer blue-violet laser is also used for writing and reading data on third-generation HD DVD discs, which have smaller data storage capacity per layer. Older optical media require a red laser for data storage and retrieval.

Blu-ray Storage Capacity

The Blu-ray disc system uses a shorter wavelength than conventional optical discs (CD systems use a red laser with a wavelength of 780 nanometers whereas DVD systems use the same red laser with a wavelength of 650 nanometers). The shorter wavelength means more precise data recording, which allows more data to be packed on the Blu-ray disc surface than a comparable CD or DVD surface. In fact, a standard single-layer Blu-ray disc can store as much as 25 GB of digital data, more than five times the storage capacity of conventional DVDs. A dual-layer Blu-ray disc can store a maximum of 50 GB of digital data. On the drawing board are quadruple-layer Blu-ray discs with 100 GB digital data storage capacities.

Blu-ray Support

To enjoy the considerable benefits of a Blu-ray disc, one must have a Blu-ray disc player (either standalone or software-based) that supports reading of the Blu-ray disc. Blu-ray video players need to have an MPEG-2 codec (which makes a player capable of playing DVDs and HD DVDs), a VC-1 codec, and an AVC or MPEG-4 codec. Movies stored in Blu-ray discs will use any one of the above-mentioned codecs. One movie can also have more than one codec, as long as each codec used is supported by Blu-ray technology.

In many ways hunting is all about getting away from the fast pace and technology of the modern world, getting out there into nature and reconnecting with that primal role of the predator patiently tracking and closing in on his prey before taking it down. But that doesn’t mean that there aren’t loads of tech products out there that can enhance you hunting experience. There are some excellent gadgets that you can get, some of which (such as gps for example) would be thought of as a basic necessity by many of todays hunting parties even though they are relatively new on the market when you think about it, and other which are less essential but perhaps more fun to use.

One of my favorite gadgets for hunting is a gun made by Armatix. The technology behind this isn’t actually all that advanced, but the effect is like something out of a science fiction movie – a gun which only the owner can fire and which simply won’t work for anyone else! It’s not quite the DNA sequencing artificial intelligence gun you may be thinking of though: you wear a watch with a chip in it, and only the person wearing that watch can fire the gun because if the chip isn’t in close enough proximity then the gun is disabled.

Another cool gadget is a hat cam – they are quite cheap really and they let you catch all the action to watch back later without anyone in your group needing to actually hold a camera.

If you’re thinking of getting one of the new gadgets on the market, you will probably accept that you will be spending some money in order to get it.  But you don’t necessarily have to be spending every penny you have in order to get hold of the latest technology.

There are many ways which you can use to help you get hold of these new gadgets that can actually save you money, so you shouldn’t have to pay full price for these fantastic pieces of technology.

Store cards

While for most purchases that you make, this will not be a particularly useful card, but every now and again, the stores will give you a discount incentive on your purchases if you sign up for one of their store cards.  So if you’re able to get 10 or even 20 per cent off your new gadgets by using these discounts, then it might be valuable to sign up.

However, to make sure it is a good thing to do, make sure you go over the charging structures that such store cards will take, whether there is a monthly fee or if interest is charged.  If you factor in all the costs, and then compare it with the savings on your new gadgets; if it works out cheaper, then go ahead, as long as you make sure that you close the card once you’ve paid it off, and that you don’t let any balances on the card earn interest.

Online Voucher Codes And Cashback Sites

Of course, shopping around when you’re looking for your new gadgets is one thing you will certainly be doing.  But you should also have a look online to find the best prices, and to see if there are any vouchers you can find which can further discount the price of your new gadgets.

Another type of website you will want to consider using when you’re purchasing your new gadgets are the online cashback sites.  The main one among these is Quidco, but there are many actually available.  Once you’ve found the site which offers the best price for your new gadgets, check on the cashback sites to see if you can get any further savings on your purchase.

Trade-In Sites

If you are anything like me, you will have a large number of gadgets which you no longer use, but they don’t necessarily have to spend the rest of their lives unused at the back of the cupboard.  There are some stores which will offer a trade-in facility for your old gadgets, and will allow you a store voucher which you can use against the cost of your new gadgets.

Unfortunately, the prices you receive can vary from store to store, so if you can’t get the discount you want off your new gadgets using this method, then you can also consider selling the old items on an auction site such as ebay.

Conclusion

Whatever the type of new gadgets that you are looking for, it is important that you don’t jump in at the first sight of the technology, and pay the full price immediately.  While negotiation might be an option in some independent retailers, for most major stores, you will need to look at alternatives if you really want to get the best deals on new gadgets.

Each and every day new and improved gadgets are being introduced to the market. New computers with copious amounts of memory constantly line the computer stores, whilst mobile phones are released that allow for full length videos to be played effortlessly. It is without doubt that the current world is one that adores new gadgets.

So what about some gadgets for the swimming pool?

Endless Pools – since 1995, Endless Pools have been producing a range of swimming pools that although only marginally bigger than a large hot tub, allow for long distance swimming to be carried out.

The pools created by this company work in the same way as a standard treadmill does, by recycling the same water in the pool, pushing it from one end to the other, giving the sensation of swimming against the current.

SwiMP3 – for those who swim for exercise or enjoyment, music is often missed as unless a stereo is playing at the loudest volume, it is almost impossible to listen to music whilst swimming – and even then the quality isn’t great.

However, there have been a range of products created in recent years to combat this problem, such as the SwiMP3.

This music player uses a technique that transfers sound from the earpiece, along the cheek bone and into the ear. As most other underwater MP3 players rely on the quality of the ear plug to transfer sounds direct to the ear, the SwiMP3 ensures that sound quality is good, regardless of where you are swimming or the type of stroke you are using.

Slack Amphibious Lounger – killing two birds with one stone, Slack have produced an item that has seen an end to uncomfortable poolside furniture and useless swimming pool inflatables.

Ten months in production, Slack successfully created the Amphibious Lounger which is, in effect, a large beanbag that can float on water.

A standard bean bag on the poolside, the Lounger works in the pool by letting in water through the specially designed material, which then reacts with the contents, producing hundreds of inflatable ‘beans’.

Solar Shower – due to chlorine being a corrosive chemical, many people cannot use swimming pools that use chlorine for substantial lengths of time without showering in between uses.

To make things easier, rather than having to continually walk indoors to shower, there have been a range of solar panel outdoor showers produced that when attached to a clean water supply, will produce warm water for showering under without any need for connection to an electrical socket. Furthermore, the majority of solar showers created are designed to also be used when camping or traveling and are therefore extremely light weight, telescopic and very easy to carry around.

Oasis Insta-Pool – it is well known that for a permanent swimming pool, the cost can easily reach $ 45,000. As a lot of people simply do not have the space, or only believe they will use the swimming pool for a few weeks each year, then the Insta-Pool could be a good solution.

The pool is more than 12 feet long, takes only moments to set up and take down. It comes with a filter, ladder, ground cover and pool cover, making for one of the most affordable swimming pools on the market today.

At this time of year, electronics companies make a lot of new product announcements; actually, “a lot” is an understatement. Often, though, the products on display are still in the prototype stage, and consumers won’t see them on retail shelves and sites until much later in the year—if the products even make it to market.

So which of the myriad enticing devices we’ve heard about recently, from the Consumer Electronics Show and elsewhere, will we actually be able to get our hands on in the near future—within the next couple of months, or even sooner? Here’s a list of very covetable products that are promised to be coming soon.

Verizon gets the iPhone!

Apple iPhone fans have been waiting a long time—ever since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, in fact—for a choice in carriers. Till now, it’s been available only on AT&T. Finally, Verizon Wireless announced it will offer its version of the iPhone 4 in early February of this year. But bear this in mind: The Verizon iPhone will not run on Verizon’s new high-speed 4G LTE network (at least, not this version of the phone) but instead will run on the carrier’s CDMA EVDO network. One cool feature Verizon has added is that the phone will feature free hotspot capability for up to five devices—meaning laptops, tablets, and other mobile devices will be able to get online through the Verizon iPhone, no cord required. Pricing for the Verizon iPhone will be $ 199.99 for the 16GB model and $ 299.99 for the 32GB model with a new two-year customer agreement.

Vizio’s “passive” 3D TV

Maybe you’ve wanted a 3D TV, but the bulky and costly glasses have held you back. Here’s good news: Vizio is offering the industry’s first “passive” 3D TV models, which use the kind of inexpensive, lightweight 3D glasses you get in movie theaters. The company’s first model, a 65-inch XVT3D-series set (XVT3D650SV), should be available right now, at a suggested price of about $ 3,700.

Sony’s HD camcorders with built-in projectors

Sony unveiled three very intriguing high-def camcorders: Each includes a tiny projector embedded on the back of the flip-out LCD, which Sony says will be able to project a 60-inch diagonal image onto any flat surface. The camcorders include other nice features: The PJ50V (which includes a 220GB hard drive) and the PJ30V (32GB of Flash memory) each has a 12x optical zoom lens and includes a built-in GPS receiver for geo-tagging content. The PJ10 has 16GB of built-in Flash memory and includes a 30x optical zoom lens. And all three camcorders will include a 3-inch touchscreen LCD. The PJ30V and PJ10 will be available in March, and the PJ50V will be available in April.

Olympus’s Tough cameras

Are you tough on your cameras? At CES this year, Olympus introduced the TG-310 and TG-610, the latest additions to the company’s waterproof, freeze-proof, and shockproof line of cameras. Both cameras feature a 14-megapixel sensor, dual-image stabilization, and HDMI connections and can record 720p resolution high-def video. Although pricing wasn’t disclosed, Olympus says both electronic gadgets should be available in the U.S. in the “first quarter of 2011.”

Motorola’s 4G phone for AT&T

AT&T claims that the Motorola Atrix 4G, an Android 2.2 phone that features a 1GHz dual-core processor (just like LG’s recently announced Optimus 2X), will be the world’s most powerful phone. Even better, it will run on the network’s fast HSPA+ network. The Atrix has a high-resolution HD display and includes a revolutionary, super-thin laptop dock for which ATRIX 4G is the “engine,” as well as an HD media dock that will “enable a revolutionary browsing, application and media experience.” It will be available in the first quarter of 2011.

Nintendo’s 3D portable gaming

We recently had a chance to play around with the venerable company’s next entry into portable gaming, the Nintendo 3DS: No glasses are required to view its 3D display. The graphics were clear, and the 3D effects added a new dimension—pun intended—to the gameplay. A slider on the 3DS lets you lessen the 3D effect, all the way down to 2D. Two cameras on the back of the system let you take 3D photos. You can import your Mii characters from your Nintendo Wii system, or automatically create new ones by taking a photo of yourself with the built-in camera. The tech gadgets will ship in the U.S. in March, for around $ 300.

Asus’s first of four tablet computers

Tablet computers were the biggest story at CES this year, and Asus started the show off with a bang, launching four tablets. The first one to ship will be the Eee Slate EP121, the largest tablet we’ve seen, at 12.1 inches. It will use an Intel Core i5 processor and run Windows 7 Home Premium. The widescreen display is a capacitive touchscreen that’s LED-backlit and has a resolution of 1280 by 800. You can choose between 32GB and 64GB of SSD storage and up to 4GB of memory. It will be available this month for $ 1,000 to $ 1,100. Cool Gadgets!
