HDI 3D Projectors


HDI have been busy working on creating some amazing looking projectors that pack 3D technology in their quirky exterior. The company has put a lot of work into getting the 3D experience right and these beasts can project a crisp 3D video up to 300 inches with users needing glasses to experience the effect. HDI claims to have fixed the many problems normally associated with 3 dimensional viewing such as sickness and migraines which will certainly be a plus when watching a long film.




6 projectors will be on offer with the ‘Cube’ model launching in February 2012 and the rest available later on that year. All projectors are laser driven meaning sharper images and less power consumption and of course run high-definition video as well as 3D.


The designs on offer give customers a great variety of choice with some being better for the boardroom where as others might suit an up-market living room. They certainly beat what’s currently out there in terms of looks, you’ll probably spend as much time looking at the box as you will viewing what’s coming out of it. Prices range from $55,00 to $85,00.

Gucci ‘Diamante’ Carry-On Bag


Perfect for that all important flight, Gucci release this carry-on bag calling it the ‘Diamante.’ It takes it’s name from the wool from which it’s made along with high quality cotton and leather trimmings on the corners, handles and zips. The pattern is certainly more subtle from what we’re used to seeing Italian fashion house and would suit someone looking for a classier way to travel. Available now at participating Gucci outlets worldwide for around $1,980.

BMW ‘Ghost’ Concept Bike


BMW‘s motor cycle division has created some of the best bike’s the road has ever seen and artist Marko Petrovic has decided to design the future of the companies bikes. Calling it the ‘Ghost’ the two wheeler has a design that pays tribute to BMW‘s previous legends but brings something new to the game.


The front of the bike is slightly lowered with the mid section arching up creating a unique look. The headlights are clearly inspired by owl eyes and the arrow in the middle almost looks like owl’s wing too. Nestled in the body would be a 1600 cc, 6 cylinder engine for real speed.



Overall this bike mixes both forward looking design with modern practicality that you could really see on the roads within the next few years.

NEW Bentley Continental GT




The new Bentley Continental GT 4-seat coupe is proving to be a big hit with our Clients since its world debut at the Paris Auto Show. The Car went on sale early this year & interest has been very impressive.

A beautifully sculptured new body gives the GT coupe an even crisper, more defined appearance. The contemporary interior offers new levels of cabin design, comfort and hand-crafted luxury.

Launched about eight years ago Bentley Continental GT has been a best seller internationally and in its second generation gets a reworked exterior, interior and powertrain. While the car’s exterior resembles that of the previous model the 2011 Continental GT gains a more assertive look with LED headlights, prominent front fenders and an upright grille.

Under the hood there is a 6.0 litre W12 powertrain that delivers a total of 567 HP and 700 NM of torque. The car sprints from 0 to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds and can hit a top speed of 198 mph. The new Bentley’s GT is also much more efficient. It weighs 134 pounds less than the original and, with a high-output 8-cylinder engine set to arrive late next year, will have a 40-percent reduction in emissions compared with the W12 engine.

New Audi R8 GT Spyder


Audi unveiled the GT version of their popular R8 super car last year as a light weight, supped up take on the already powerful flagship model. For 2011, the German automaker takes this topless with this spyder model and it’s even lighter thanks to carbon panels being used throughout the car for weight savings of 85 KGs.


There’s no shortage of power with a 5.2 V10 engine kicking out 560 HP that will take you from 0-60 MPH in 3.8 seconds and on to a top speed of 196 MPH which will sure get your hair flying. Visually the car still looks stunning but has been fine tuned by Audi engineers with a new front splitter with dual lip, a large diffuser and dark LED tail lights.


If things go from hot to cold you can bring the roof up with the touch of a button in 19 seconds and you can do this all the way up to 31 MPH. The interior is high quality as you’d expect from an Audi with fine leather upholstery, multimedia systems and advanced dials make for a great place to be on a journey. Just 333 examples of the R8 GT Spyder will be made and each is individually numbered on the gear nob. Prices start in Germany from €207,800.

Sony Projector Camcorder


Camcorders have been having a rough few years in the marketplace thanks to the introduction of higher quality cameras on smart phones with greater flexibility. Sony is combating this with the introduction of a camcorder with a small projector attached to the front with the ability to blow up a film to 60 inches.

It’s still a camcorder though with a 7.1 megapixel camera up front that can shoot high definition video with up to 12 x zoom to capture far away scenes. Shooting in the dark is dealt with by two small LED bulbs which is a welcome addition. No need for tapes as this camcorder has a 220GB internal hard drive to store hours of video and thousands of photographs.

It will be interesting to see how well this sells. The projector may add a new social element to camcorders that was previously missing being able to shoot and show everyone your footage instantly is a big plus. Available now at Sony‘s Asia retail units, no word on Western availability yet.

iPhone 5 Coming Soon



Apple’s next-generation iPhone will launch in the third quarter. And the company plans to ship 25 million units by year’s end, according to a report.

Citing “people familiar with the situation,” The Wall Street Journal reports that Apple has placed orders with suppliers in Taiwan for some of the next iPhone’s key components. The new version of the iPhone will include an 8-megapixel camera (compared to the current 5-megapixel) and will be thinner and lighter than the iPhone 4.

The article also cites a source who says the new iPhone will use Qualcomm’s baseband chips. The current iPhone uses memory chips from Samsung and baseband chips from Infineon Technologies, according to a report from iSuppli Corp.

Apple is telling suppliers to produce enough of the phones to meet a goal of 25 million units by year’s end. By comparison, Apple said it sold 18.65 million iPhones in the fiscal second quarter, which ended March 26. The initial units will ship to assembler Hon Hai in August.

This new information jibes with other information that has leaked out about the release. Last month, Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty sent a note to clients stating that the next iPhone would begin production in August. Rumors about the new iPhone also surfaced last month, including one from Boy Genius Report that cited a source saying the iPhone 5 would sport a “radical new case design.” Bloomberg also reported that the model would have an 8-megapixel camera and an AS5 processor and would be available in September.

Lamborghini Aventador
