Korean manufacturer King Jim presented an interesting gadget named Pomera DM10. It comes with a compact 4-inch display and a mini QWERTY keyboard, but it’s not a UMPC (Ultra Mobile PC), Netbook, or even a MID (Mobile Internet Device). Yes, Pomera is a simple, yet very handy portable notes storage. With this device, you can easily write important notes (or anything you have in mind). Everything you wrote will be kept inside its built-in memory (128Kb) as a txt file. I know, that 128kb limit is too small. Thankfully, the company also understand that and include a microSD media card slot on the device.

Later, you can import or move your notes onto your PC via USB port. But note that only Windows Vista and Windows XP-powered computers are compatible with Pomera DM10 at the moment. Hopefully, the device will support both Linux and Mac-based computer in the future.

Measures 250 x 158 x 45mm, Pomera DM10 Portable Notes Storage is retailed for 27,300 yen or about €200 ($256).

Epson introduced the successor of P-5000, the P-3000 Portable Media Storage. Aimed at entry-level users, the device comes with just 40GB of hard drive (P-5000 has 80GB), a 4-inch 16M colors display with 640×480 resolution, and compatibility with .h264 and Photo Fine Ultra screen, with xv.Color and ADOBE RGB. Measures 88.7 x 150 x 37.6mm and weighs 426g, it is equipped with SD / CDF / SDHC media card slot, providing additional storage space. Regarding media format, P-3000 supports DivX, WMV9, AAC, and MP3, WMA.

Epson P-3000 Handheld Multimedia Storage will hit the shelves in June with a price tag of between €300 and €400.

Named Momento, this ball is small enough to fit into the palm of your hand. When not used, it can be a nice decoration for your desk. But when someone approached and try to pick it up, Momento will automatically “wake up” and play the movie clip stored inside. Vice versa, to turn it off, you simply put it on the desk and leave it. To watch another clip, you only have to shake the glass ball. Thanks to the built-in sensor, it will detect that movement, dissolve current clip, and play the next one.

From the description, you might have guessed that Momento doesn’t have a controller button. And that’s right. All functions are controlled automatically by either proximity or detected movement. As for storing image, it has a built-in Bluetooth receiver, so you only have to send the movie clips wirelessly from any Bluetooth enabled device.
