Best Buy sells Panasonic 3D TVs

Best Buy has made 3D home entertainment systems available as a bundle in stores across the US, says ChannelWeb.

The technology retail giant says its full HD 3D home theatre system will be available from its Magnolia home theatre division. The system comprises a 50-inch Panasonic Viera television with a pair of 3D glasses. Extra glasses cost $149.95 each.

"It's important for Best Buy to maintain a positioning as a destination for the greatest and latest consumer technology," says Ross Rubin at research firm NPD Group.

OCZ Technology Group released its Onyx Sata II solid state drive series that will sell for under $100, states Computerworld.

OCZ is aiming the Onyx series SSD for use as a boot-up drive or for notebooks and netbooks, and comes with a three-year warranty and technical support.

"Designed to offer the best of both worlds, the new OCZ Onyx SSD delivers the speed and reliability of solid state storage to mainstream consumers at an aggressive price point that makes the technology more accessible to customers who want to take advantage of all the benefits of SSDs, without incurring the high cost normally associated with the solution," says Ryan Petersen, CEO of OCZ Technology Group.

Guger Technologies unveiled an Intendix system that uses an EEG cap to measures the user's brain activity, enabling them to interact with a computer, says Tom's Guide.

The process works by having the user first focus on a grid of letters. When the user finds the desired letter, brain activity spikes and the system types the letter into the message. As users get accustomed to the method, typing will get easier, taking almost an entire second to mentally type a letter.

Intendix says the device is capable of doing additional tasks outside messaging including converting text to speech, printing, copying, e-mailing, and triggering an alarm. The system has entered its marketing phase, expected to retail for over $12 000.
