Intermot 2008: Piaggio MP3 MY 2009

These vehicles always look to me like they belong in a Matrix film, but it appears that they’re actually very nifty for city and touring use. In 2009 Piaggio MP3 will be presented with some updated technology that will improve the Piaggio offering in the GT segment.

The MP3 125cc version includes electronic ignition and Ride by Wire technology for acceleration control. This is some dedicated attention from Piaggio for a vehicle of its kind. After the jump are technical details from the press release and plenty of photos of the Piaggio MP3 2009.

Yamaha FX Nytro XTX Snowmobile 2009

2009 comes early, thanks to Yamaha’s FX Nytro XTX Snowmobile. Powered by the fast-revving, high-torque 130hp-class Genesis 130FI engine, the FX Nytro XTX uses lightweight crank technology and the fuel injection system to deliver razor-sharp throttle response. One new performance-enhancing feature that comes with this Yamaha snowmobile is its patented rear exit design that reduces the amount of under-hood heat produced and distributes weight for a finely balanced sled. Also new are the GYTR dual-clicker front shocks that offer riders a high level of tunability with 12 clicks of compression and 20 clicks of rebound damping. Yamaha.

VIA powers MTube handheld prototype

Reportedly scheduled for production in 2009, Taiwan's Science and Technology Advisory Group's recently unveiled MTube prototype is shaping up to be an interesting cross between a fully connected PMP and a "handheld notebook" running Linux on a 1.0GHz VIA C7-M processor. If released in its current state, the 3.35" x 3.35" x 0.79" device will tip the scales at 5.3 ounces and feature a 2.8" VGA touchscreen, 8GB of internal flash memory, 4-hour battery life, and both wi-fi and WiMAX connectivity.

The hottest PC technology for 2009

As one year draws to a close, it's only natural that we all want to know what new technologies are in store for us in 2009.

How many cores will your CPU have? How fast will they be? What will be powering PC graphics, and what type of memory will be the next must-have?

The problem is that top technology firms are already beavering away on products and kit that will supersede next year's star buys. So we set ourselves another task – to discover what's over the horizon.

Is next year's kit part of a bigger trend or a gathering revolution in technology? Read on to explore the PC's near and distant futures.

This year’s technology survey found that more than a third of real estate practitioners—34 percent—now rely on GPS navigation for help getting around. The technology is evolving in two directions: hardware and service.

On the one hand, you have hardware systems like Sony’s Nav-U line, TomTom’s car navigation systems or the Gamin nuvi 880. But you'll likely see more GPS capabilities becoming a function built into other hardware, or provided as a service, rather than requiring a dedicated device. For example, services like Verizon’s VZNavigator, AT&T Navigator, Sprint Navigation, and Telenav offer point to point directions on your cell phone.
