The Opus 8 Watch with Mechanical-Digital Display

If the Di Grisogono Meccanica DG was the first watch with a mechanical-digital display, the Opus 8 watch by Harry Winston comes in at a close second. While the DG used mechanical tubes to display the time, the Opus 8 works using a complicated system of mechanical pixels that rise up from the display when the user activates a mechanism on the side of the case. But that's not all.

MonoTracer Bike - Two wheeled car

Peraves Monotracer – Production Version "Cabin –bike" powered by BMW engine

The $82,350 glass/kevlar/carbon/steel MonoTracer bike certainly feels like it's from the Utopian, roundmobile world to come. Featuring a fully enclosed cabin for less drag and less pebbles in the face, the MonoTracer's 130hp BMW engine goes 0-60 in 5.6 seconds and hits speeds up to 155mph. We're not exactly sure what you'll do at stoplights, but apparently there are little training wheels that pop out for parking...a solution that's admittedly not much more suave than toppling over at every stop.

E-TEN's Glofiish M810 and V900

Eten has revealed Glofiish M810 at the 3GSM in Barcelona. M810 is a new PDA Phone with same specs as M800, except for the screen: it has QVGA (320x240) and not VGA (640x480) like M800.

E-TEN Information Systems has just taken the wraps off two high-end, consumer-oriented smartphones, the Glofiish M810 and M750.

These devices are virtually identical. They will have the same form factor, which includes a 2.8-inch QVGA display and a sliding 33-key keyboard.

They will both run Windows Mobile 6 on a 500 MHz Samsung processor, and have 64 MB of RAM and 256 MB of ROM.

Each will include a 2-megapixel auto-focus camera, a SiRF Star III GPS receiver, microSD card slot, and a 1,530 mAh battery.

They will be 4.3 inches by 2.3 inches by 0.7 inches (109.5 x 59 x 17.5mm).

Differences

One of only two significant differences between these smartphones will be support for 3G wireless networking. Although both will offer quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, Wi-Fi b/g, and Bluetooth 2.0, only the M810 will have tri-band HSDPA.

In addition, the M810 will have a front-facing fixed-focus 0.3 MP camera for video conferencing.

E-TEN says the Glofiish M810 and M750 should be available worldwide in two to three weeks. There is no word yet on pricing.

More information is available on the E-TEN web site.
