G4 iMac turned into touchscreen monitor, relegated to Windows servitude (video)
Ahh, the sweet feeling of success -- of completing a project that's been lingering on for many moons. That is the feeling felt by the creator of the Dremel Junkie blog, who has for months been working on a project to take a 17-inch iMac G4 and turn it into a touchscreen monitor. It is, indeed, just a monitor, having been gutted to serve its purpose and is now displaying a signal from a Windows machine, of all things. But, the modder in question promises to rectify this situation shortly with a Mac Mini companion piece, which will surely make this mod feel a little more right. Video exploration after the break, and all the sordid details of its construction are included at the source link.
Vizit cellular photo frame arrives March 23rd, your mom can't afford one
Last we heard from Isabella Products, the company's always-on Vizit photo frame was a 10.4-inch touchscreen LCD with a built-in cell modem to receive emailed pics and MMS, a built-in price of $280 (plus subscription fees), and an "early 2010" release date. Well, early 2010 is here, and so is the Vizit -- sales commence on March 23rd. In honor of the occasion, the company has even spilled a few final details; according to Bostinnovation, Vizit's service plan will use AT&T's 3G network, share photos from both Flickr and Photobucket, and cost $6 per month or $72 for a full year. Sorry, Grandma, but at that price, you'll have to make do with WiFi.
