GBTV #719 (medium) | Rapportive, World's Smallest Computer, Panasonic G2 & G10, Kojiro Robot on 03/08/10 Zoom
I've always said I don't want my Gmail and my social networks to collide, but with the release of a browser plugin called Rapportive I change my mind! Rapportive replaces the ads on the right side of your email with information about the person you're talking with.

USmart claims to have the world's smallest computer with a 4.8" screen, 1GB of RAM and 4GB of storage.

Panasonic announced another round of Micro Four Thirds cameras. The DMC-G10 and DMC-G2 both shoot 720p video and have a 12.1 megapixel Live MOS sensor.

The University of Tokyo's JSK Robotic Laboratory has been building Kojiro, a humanoid robot that's made up of artificial bones, muscles and tendons. It has a human like spine structure, and motors move cables in a way that mimics human movements.

GBTV #718 (medium) | FLPR Universal Remote, ASUS Thin Router, Kingston Low Voltage RAM, RealDVD, Belkin USB Hub on 03/04/10 Zoom
New Potato Technologies has an IR remote for iPhones called FLPR. It has access to 14,000 codes.

ASUS' new RT-N56U is a super thin router with a modern design.

Kingston is working on RAM that address the issue of RAM that consumes lots of power and generates lots of heat with the LoVo HyperX DDR3 High-Performance memory line.

RealNetworks settled the dispute with Hollywood, agreeing to not sell RealDVD and pay $4.5 million in legal fees. It's a sad day.

Belkin's newest USB hub is designed to fit in a 3" hole in your desk. Clever!
