Sahara Unveils a New Line-up of Products
And the family expands. Sahara Computers adds lifestyle gadgets like digital cams, handheld video cams, headphone sets and wireless mice (ahem!) to its repertoire. Our picks…
5 MP Digital Movie Camera: A pretty good-looking handheld video cam with a 5 meg high sensitivity sensor, a 2” LCD and a 16X optical zoom. Use this to shoot the private video you’ve always wanted to.
Imagecam 10 MP: A big surprise. For just 11 grand, you get a 10 meg sharp snapper with 32 MB internal memory, a 3” color LCD, 3X optimal zoom, 4X digital zoom and a battery support life of 150 shots.


So, did you take our word and pick up the free yet most expensive iPod in the world? Yup, Xexoo was giving away iPods free – if, if, if you paid for pimping them with 18k gold, which cost you close to $14,000. Small piece, eh? Well, now all you need Gucci’s fancy-schmancy iPod case, complete with GG logo (tribute to founder Guccio Gucci) and the ironic and green Gucci web on the strap. Music for your brand-sensitive ears?
MP620c: Made with educational institutions with mind (gah!), it comes with a ‘Blackboard’ mode, allowing output display on a blackboard – at a bright 2000 lumens. To zero out projector noise and let the noisy chatter from the gossip queen floats, it comes with a 24 decibel sound level, which makes it almost noiseless. And its 16.7 million color palette makes sure you don’t miss the plaque-cated teeth of the crooks!

With the Cannon Pixma MP 970 all-in-one, you can print, copy, scan – all at a turn of its scroll wheel! Create real-life imaging through its 7-color individual ink tank system, or digitise your 35 mm movie! Hot Features: Prints and copies at 30 ppm in monochrome and 22 ppm in color; Auto Image Fix sets ideal color intensity, tone and brightness; ChromalLife 100 technology delivers beautiful, long-lasting prints with a longevity of – hold your breath – 100 years; can print directly on CD/DVD surface; is Bluetooth enabled.
Small is ‘in’. In a big way. Small cars, small mobiles, small laptops – you name it and you can have it. No wonder then that Transcend has launched its ‘ultra small’ flash drive, the JetFlash T3, which is impossibly compact and weighs a negligible 2 gm! Unlike other miniature USB flash drives, which are pretty fragile, this one is robust, thanks to a special COB (Chip On Board) manufacturing technique that moulds the flash memory chip and circuit board into the driver’s extra toughened casing, making the T3 virtually and delightfully unbreakable.
