Epson Expression ME-301



Epson has launched what they claim are the world's smallest all-in-one printers for home use (the smallest desktop footprint of any A4 allin-one).

The ME-301 can print, scan and copy A4 sheets, uses individual ink tanks to lower consumable costs and includes Wi-Fi — so that you can wirelessly print from computers, smartphones and tablets (using Epson Connect).

Also launched is the ME-101 all-in-one printer without Wi-Fi (Rs3,999), which uses ultra low cost inks: Rs191 per black cartridge and Rs345 per colour cartridge.

Intex Aqua Flash and Aqua Trendy



Intex has launched two new dual SIM Android smartphones, the Aqua Flash (Rs9,500) and Aqua Trendy (Rs4,900). Both phones have a 1Ghz dual core processor, expandable memory, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and ambient light + proximity sensor (to auto adjust brightness and turn off screen during calls).

The Aqua Flash has a 4.3-inch (800 x 480 pixels) touchscreen, Android 4.0 and dual cameras (8MP rear, 1.3MP front), The Trendy is EDGE-only, has a 3.5-inch touchscreen (320 x 480 pixels), Android 2.3 and dual cameras (3.2MP front, 1.3MP front).

Nokia 114



The Nokia 114 is designed from the ground up to appeal to young consumers who want an Internet capable phone on a budget. It's a dual SIM candybar phone with 1.8-inch colour screen (128 x 160 pixels) and allows you to access Facebook and Twitter right from the home screen.

The 'cloud accelerated' Nokia Xpress web browser lets you browse web pages faster even on a 2G (GPRS) connection and the hot-swap SIM card slot on the side lets you change one of the SIM cards without powering down the device.

Other features include VGA rearfacing camera, built in dictionary, voice recorder, calculator, FM with recording, Bluetooth and loudspeaker — all in a device that weighs only 80 grams.
