Make Room For The 'Gadget Girls'

The classic stereotype of an engineer - a man who is brilliant at and passionate about technology, but not so good at dealing with people - bears little resemblance to actual engineers or their work, as per new research from the University of Edinburgh. These stereotypes hamper the engineering profession's efforts to recruit women, says Dr Wendy Faulkner who carried out the study.

Dr Faulkner, who interviewed and observed 66 men and women engineers working in a range of industries, says: "Women and men engineers alike get excited about technology -even though fewer of the women have a 'tinkerer' background. There are 'gadget girls' as well as 'boys and their toys' in engineering. At the same time, a number of different types of men and women enjoy engineering work - very few fit the classic stereotype.

She adds: "In practice, engineering encompasses a wide variety of jobs and roles. It is a 'broad church' with room for a diverse range of people. Yet the image of engineering - and often the culture - remains a narrowly technical, 'nuts and bolts' one.

"Retention is as important as recruitment -a number of of those women who do complete engineering degrees don't go onto engineering jobs or leave the industry after only a few years," says Dr Faulkner. "Part of the issue is that women who enter engineering have to become 'one of the lads' in order to fit in. A number of subtle aspects of the culture, which may appear trivial individually, when taken as a whole have a 'dripping tap' effect - making it harder for women to belong, and get on in engineering."........

Sony Ericsson Goes Low-End With K310, K510

As part of Sony Ericsson's low-end initiative, three of the cellphones in the group are the K310 (left) and K510 (middle) candybars and the Z530 clamshell. All three are tri-band phones but don't have EDGE support. The K310 has a sub-megapixel camera, 15MB of memory without a flash card slot and a 128x160 65,536 color display straight out of yesterday.

The K510 raises the bar a bit with a 1.3-megapixel camera and a screen that offers more colors but is the same size as the K310. It raises the ante for onboard memory to 28MB and adds Bluetooth 2.0. Both are the same size, about 4 inches tall and ¾-inch thick, and are capable of seven hours of talk time in 360 hours on standby.

Then there's the K530 clamshell phone, also with 2 MB of memory and adds a Memory Stick Micro slot. It has the same 128x160 display as the K310 with a monochrome screen on the outside. All three of these phones will ship during the next quarter.

iLoad-c Delivers Wireless Music Directly to the iPod Nano

When it comes to "feeding" the iPod, the folks at Wingspan are the Evangelists of the "shortest distance between two points" theory. Today Wingspan revealed a video demonstration of its iLoad-c, a gadget that utilizes the music stores proliferating on cell phone networks, to download music directly to the Apple iPod- Nano, without using a computer.

iLoad-c clamps onto a Nano and then connects to your cell carrier's music store to download the music directly to the Nano.

Wingspan will provide the device that is initially compatible with the Verizon, Sprint/Nextel, Cingular and T-Mobile networks and will shortly begin discussions with Apple and others to enable the WiFi capability within the device.

iLoad-c is planned for release by mid-Summer at a retail price of $199.

Wingspan's other announced devices include iLoad, a device that copies CDs to the iPod- without using a computer and iLoad-v, a device that connects to a cable or satellite TV boxes, such as direct tv hd receivers and records video and music onto the iPod without using a computer.

Watch the video on www.iLoad.com.........
