SecureSpot DI-103: Internet security device

If you're looking for a way to protect your PC from viruses that doesn't involve using resource-hogging security software, D-Link has a simple solution. At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the networking vendor launched its SecureSpot DI-103 Internet security device, which it says protects PCs from viruses, spam, and spyware.
The 1-inch-thick appliance occupies about 16 square inches of desk space and is essentially a custom version of the company's DI-102 VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) accelerator, according to Michael Scott, technical media manager with D-Link.
LAN users can install the device between their broadband modem and their router; in addition, they can take it on the road and use it with a laptop, D-Link said. The DI-103 works with Windows and Mac OS X clients, and D-Link expects to support Linux PCs within the next few months.
Users must install the antivirus and antispyware software on their PCs; the DI-103 itself does pop-up blocking and spam filtering. Users can configure the security device as a firewall and use it to control which Web sites computers on the network can view.

Motorola iRadio

Motorola Inc., after nearly a year of vague pronouncements, unveiled Tuesday an ambitious music radio service for cell phones that also plays over car and home stereos.
Motorola iRadio, featuring 435 channels, would be sold by wireless service providers to their subscribers for between $7 and $10 per month -- a few dollars cheaper than the satellite radio networks that would be among the phone-based service's immediate rivals.
No wireless carriers have signed on yet to carry iRadio, which may also be adapted for non-Motorola phones if carriers request it, company officials said.
In some ways, iRadio more closely resembles a vast "podcast" network rather than a traditional radio broadcast.
Motorola expects about 90 percent of its content to be loaded on phones from the Internet over a personal computer, rather than broadcast over the air, in this case a cellular network. That would mean less of a strain on the limited capacity wireless operators have for mobile calls, e-mail and Internet services.

Kodak Unveils Dual-lens Digicam

Eastman Kodak Company has introduced the world's first dual-lens digital still camera, the Kodak Easyshare V570 zoom digital camera.
Using proprietary Kodak Retina Dual Lens technology, the V570 wraps an ultra-wide angle lens (23 mm) and an optical zoom lens (39 - 117 mm) into a package less than an inch thick.
The innovative Easyshare V570 camera's ultra-wide angle lens coupled with its optical zoom lens produces a total 5X optical zoom range, providing more options to help today's picture takers capture the perfect shot - group photos, scenic landscapes, dramatic portraits, and close-ups.
In addition to its dual lens design, the 5-megapixels V570 camera boasts a variety of features like in-camera panorama stitching, which automatically combines three pictures into a panorama photograph. Using the ultra-wide view in panorama scene mode, people can take in a 180-degree vista with just three shots - an industry exclusive.
The V570 has a 2.5-inch, high-resolution LCD screen, color science image processing chip for image quality, automatic red-eye reduction, on-camera cropping, picture blur alert and auto picture rotation.
Features also include twenty-two scene modes plus three color modes; photo frame dock 2, which provides one-touch picture transfer to a connected computer; 32 MB of internal memory; and an SD card slot for additional storage.
The Kodak Easyshare V570 zoom digital camera with Photo Frame Dock 2 will be available worldwide, beginning later this month for $399.
