Kodak Easyshare V570

Today Kodak unveiled a brand new digital camera called Kodak Easyshare V570 – the World’s first dual-lens Digital Camera.

The Kodak Easyshare V570 holds a ultra-wide angle lens (23 mm) and a second 37-117 mm 3X optical zoom lens, which gives you a 5X optical zoom. The camera has a 2.5″ LCD monitor, MPEG-4 video recording which captures TV-quality video with up to 30 frames per second. The resolution is 5 Megapixels.

The camera will be available worldwide beginning later this month for US$399 (MSRP).

“Today’s picture takers expect high-performance features in an attractive package. Kodak is first to give them a coveted but previously unavailable ultra-wide angle lens in a pocket-size camera,” said Mary Hadley, general manager of digital cameras for Kodak’s Consumer Digital Imaging Group. “Capturing high quality photos with maximum ease of use are at the top of people’s lists when buying a new digital camera. By delivering on these needs in a completely new way, the EASYSHARE V570 camera pushes the boundaries of innovative design for ultra-compact cameras.”

Samsung Digital cameras,Sports Cams and DV Camcorders

Samsung electronics has a new line of digital still and video cameras on the way for 2006. The four new digital devices including the SC-MS25 6-In-1 Digital Camera, the SC-X210L and SC-X205L Sports Cams, the SC-HDX15 Flash-Based HD Camcorder, and SC-D165 DVD Camcorder.

I'm really digging the Samsung Sport Cams that have extended battery life, and an SD memory expansion slot for unlimited storage potential. You might remember the Samsung SC-X105L Sports Camcorder that was released last summer, but had limited recording time. This time they got it right.

Samsung's new Digicam line-up includes:

SC-MS25 6-In-1 Digital Camera

With advanced features including six mega pixel digital still quality and MPEG4 recording, this all-in-one, advanced-format camcorder will take the consumer to the next level. Using Samsung's flash leadership and expertise in digital technology, voice recording, MP3, data storage and web cam capability, this is the gadget to have in 2006. Ultra-compact, stylish with a sleek aluminum look, this multi-function digital camera is easily stored in a pocket or purse. Other features include 3X optical zoom lens, 512MB of built-in memory and a 2.5" LCD screen.

The SC-MS25 camera offers the greatest value in its class. This model comes in three stylish colours: red, black or silver and will be available in May, 2006. Pricing details will be available shortly.

SC-X210L and SC-X205L Sports Cams

Recording those extreme action feats just got easier with Samsung's next-generation Sport Cams, SC-X210L and SC-X205L. These camcorders feature enhanced movie quality and an SD memory expansion slot for unlimited storage potential, extended recording time (25% longer than previous models) and improved battery life (30% longer). With an auxiliary lens module that offers hands-free shooting and an armband for easy attachment, each thrilling moment can now be documented - hands free! With 1GB and 512 MB of built-in flash memory respectively, the extreme sports devotee will have more time to capture those incredible moments as they happen. These compact, rugged models fit easily into pockets or other gear, making transport a breeze. The SC-X210L and the SC-X205L both have a 2.0" LCD with 680K CCD and 10X optical/100x digital zoom capability. Both of these models also double as an MP3 player, voice recorder and data storage device. The unit also includes a carrying case, web cam module, DIVX player and text viewer (for MS Office).

The SC-X210L and the SC-X205L will have estimated street prices of $649.00 and $699.00 CDN respectively and will be available in March, 2006.

SC-D165 DVD Camcorder

Responding to customers' requirement for high-quality, convenience and innovation, the SC-D165 DVD camcorder has all this and more. As with all of Samsung's 2006 DVD Camcorders, the SC-D165 offers compatibility with all key single and dual layer DVD formats - a first in the industry! This camcorder also offers convenient 4-in-1 multi-memory card slots, a 680k pixel CCD and 33x Optical/1200x Digital Zoom. The generous 2.7" wide LCD (260K Pixel) enhances the viewing experience and, with 16:9 recording, viewers are in for a true-to-life cinematic event. Samsung has included USB 2.0 and PictBridge technology, allowing for quick, convenient file transfers to home computers. The SC-D165 DVD camcorder includes MPEG4 recording and doubles as a web cam and a still camera capturing 800 x 600 quality photos. The SC-D165 comes with a remote control for convenience.

This all-in-one package will be available in March, 2006 with an estimated street price of $649.99 CAD.

SC-HDX15 Flash-Based HD Camcorder

The Samsung SC-HDX15 is the world's first flash-based HD-camcorder. Featuring 4GB of built-in memory and 720P/1280 HD quality video recording, the SC-HDX15 is the camcorder of choice for 2006. HDTV lovers will appreciate its extensive feature line-up including the generous 2.7" LCD and Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) that minimizes shaking for a smooth, clear picture. The SC-HDX15 also offers USB 2.0 for easy PC connectivity and an HDMI for simultaneous transfer of uncompressed audio and video signal over a single cable, optimizing file transmission to HD devices. This model also comes with a compact flash expansion slot which provides additional storage.

O2 MOBILES

A Toshiba phone in the O2 line of products

You probably know about the TG01, the Toshiba phone that was said to be the best-looking (but not only) Windows Mobile-based smartphone of this year. Well, for all of the German people out there, I have the greatest news of them all: the device will be sold on an exclusive basis by O2.

This means that people who love handsets like the iPhone 3G will have another alternative, a better one, we’re tempted to say. Not only when it comes to the features list, but also as far as the design is concerned, because the TG01 is a little bit thinner than its competitor, measuring only 9.9 millimeters in thickness.

You’ve all been assaulted with all sorts of details about this new Toshiba phone, but it won’t hurt anyone if I refresh your memory. Therefore, the features this phone is equipped with are the following: quad band GSM and HSDPA connectivity, a 4.1 inch touchscreen display with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, an accelerometer, GPS, Wi-Fi, Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD2850 processor at 1GHz, 512MB ROM and 256MB RAM.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

Now, as for the availability, the only thing we know is that the Toshiba TG01 will start selling in Germany sometime this summer via O2 (a precise release date isn’t at our disposal, unfortunately). Whether it will become available or not in other countries, is still a mystery. Details about the price? Maybe in the following weeks. Not for the moment.

O2 Xda Guide, the latest Xda device
Focusing on low- and mid-end mobile phones in the past couple of days, I kind of neglected another important area that people are very eager to find out about. I’m talking about the smartphones, which are cutting-edge devices that combine all sorts of incredible feature that you would never have expected to see.

Another smartphone is the one that Telefonica O2 Germany has recently announced, the Xda Guide, the successor of another similar cell phone, the Xda Orbit 2. This is an improved version, as you can easily figure it out for yourself, adding all the features that you couldn’t find on the previous on.



Following the pattern of the Xda devices, Guide was also built by HTC, having a very cool design and a couple of impressive features that convert it into a high-end cell phone. The most important specs of the Xda Guide include: it supports GDM/EDGE/GPRS networks and UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA connectivity, it runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, it has a 2.8 inch TFT touchscreeb display with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels. In addition, it is equipped with Wi-Fi, an integrated GPS receiver, TomTom Navigator 7 that provides the user with maps for countries such as Germany, Austria and Switzerland, Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity, 3.2 megapixel camera.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

More than that, the O2 Xda Guide comes with a 528 MHz qualcomm MSM 7225 processor, 256 MB RAM, 512 MB ROM and microSD card support of up to 1 GB card, which is included in the package.

This latest Xda device that you most surely would love to have it for yourself is expected to become available first in Germany, via O2, starting Feabruary 2009. Unfortunately, the price wasn’t yet announced. Still, after the German release, chances are good for the O2 Xda Guide to reach other countries, such as the United Kingdom.

O2 Cocoon
Cocoon is a cool cell phone from O2,a leading provider of mobile communication devices and solutions. It received Bronze at the International Design Excellence Awards 2008 for an innovative feature that allows the user to access a hidden LED display on the front of the clamshell, which reveals current phone’s status. If you are listening to the music it shows track details such as the artist’s name, track info and radio information. When you are receiving a call or text message it shows the caller ID.
Also, the LED lights flash when you miss a call or when the battery is low.
You can set it to show the time or use it as an alarm clock in its Nest that’s also a charger.



The inspiration source was the designer’s answer to the question "what inspires you, and what do you want from a mobile phone?" - Something emotional. Original. That doesn't look like a phone or a music player - something more natural, that's visually stunning and functions perfectly.

<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->

It’s main functionality is of a music phone, so O2 Cocoon comes with an advanced player with dedicated music keys for instant access to your playlist, FM radio, support for 2 pairs of headphones via the special adapter, pre-loaded tracks, videos sand ringtones from popular artists such as The Doors, as well as enough free space for up to 500 high-quality songs. You can create playlists, fade music during calls, playback music for up to 15 hours, and the Cocoon mode that sets the phone to record all missed calls and messages while allowing you to listen to the music undisturbed.
The built-in digital camera is not missing at this phone model. There is a 2MP camera with video recording, flash, zoom, autofocus and self-timer capabilities.



For personalization, you can see the phone to change the wallpapers every minute or hour.
Cocoon has an organizer, calculator, Bluetooth, USB, games, handsfree, the Windows media player 11 application, and Quicktime player for video playback.
It has 2GB internal flash memory, support for up to 2GB via a microSD card, and provides up to 5 hours of talk time, and 350 hours standby time.





to Release XDA Stellar and XDA Orbit II with 3MP Camera
O2 will release until the end of this year two new mobile phones called O2 XDA Stellar and O2 XDA Orbit II.
O2 XDA Stellar will come with a 65K colors touchscreen and a display resolution of 240x320 pixels, measuring 112x59x19 mm and having a weight of 190g.

The most important characteristic of this phone is the advanced built-in 3.15MP camera with 2048x1536 pixels resolution for photos and with recording capability.

Other features include 128MB of internal memory, a solitary USB port, Bluetooth connectivity, and tri-band GSM support. It will retail for $284 which is roughly $500 more affordable than LG's GD910 watch phone. Expect this to be released in Q2 this year.

Lenovo Pocket Yoga Teaser Shot

Lenovo is surely going to come up with what some dub as the Sony Vaio P killer - their Pocket Yoga device. It is small enough to fit into your pants pocket (just like how Sony claims their Vaio P can do), featuring a leather-bound shell for an elegant look alongside an ultra-wide display that is not too far off its competitor. Concept sketches have pointed toward the existence of touchscreen support as well as a convertible design that enables the display to flip backwards, letting it function as an extremely tiny tablet. Those used to phones with small areas for their touchscreen will definitely get used to this idea, but we suspect iPhone fans mught overlook this instead.

Japanese manufacturer Amadana has released its SAL pocket video recorder that not only records your favorite memories in MPEG4 format, it is also able to capture 3-megapixel stills with its CMOS image sensor. All these are crammed into a tiny body that measures 54mm x 95mm x 12mm, tipping the scales at a mere 85 grams to make this one of the more pocket friendly devices to date. Too bad the 2GB internal memory cannot be augmented by any memory card slot, leaving the USB port as the only means to transfer data over to your computer once it is filled to the brim. No idea on pricing though, but this looks set to be a Japan-only device.

Sony Ericsson C905 Massive Returns?

Sony Ericsson’s C905 is certainly a desirable cell phone on paper, but it seems that many people are finding out otherwise after they’ve purchased the device, as evidenced by the return rate of the device. Reports are filtering that return rates of up to 30% have been reported in some areas. Problems that plague the C905 camera phone include software freezes, and speaker faults. Apparently many operators even went as far as to seek considerable compensation from Sony Ericsson due to customer returns. All it all, Sony Ericsson had better pay attention to the quality of the software and hardware of the upcoming W995 and Idou, if not it runs the risk of further damaging its brand name.

Dictionary Pen Concept

They say that knowledge is power, and the pen is mightier than the sword. The same applies to the Dictionary Pen - this concept allows you to write down your innermost thoughts that could sway and influence our society even when you're long gone, and you will be able to leave an enduring yet eloquent message for all and sundry thanks to the efforts of the Dictionary Pen. Features of this wonder stationery include a built-in spell checker and synonyms list, speech recognition, a microphone and the ability to replay the right spelling while showing the word off on the LCD display. Too bad this is but a concept as we're sure Spelling Bee competitions nationwide will see contestants who are looking for an unfair advantage, trying to smuggle this in.
