Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-H3: an 8 megapixel, 10x zoomer
2007-08-22 10:34:00
While everyone is pining over the new Canons (and rumored Nikons), Sony has quietly unveiled their Cyber shot DSC-H3. Of course, it doesn't warrant the comparable fuss. This latest super-zoom to go point-and-shoot brings a 1/2.5-inch, 8 megapixel sensor; 10x Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar zoom lens; optical image stabilization; ISO 3200 sensitivity; and 1080p image out via a multi-use AV terminal which requires -- you guessed it -- a $40 proprietary component conversion cable from Sony. Thanks. Still, not bad for $300.

Motorola day: Verizon gets Q9m, Sprint gets V9m
2007-08-22 10:32:00
As expected, Verizon and Sprint have given Motorola a venue for its latest and greatest hardware today, releasing the Q9m Windows Mobile smartphone and RAZR 2 V9m flip respectively. Though the media centric Q9m's $350 price on a two-year contract ain't exactly pocket change, it's interesting to note that it whittles right down to a more manageable $250 after rebate -- a mere $20 more than you'll pay for an old school Q Black. Meanwhile, minions from the other side of the CDMA camp (yes, we mean Sprint) have prepped the V9m for launch today at the same $250 price point after rebate, making it the first of several US carriers committed to a RAZR 2 launch to actually get it out of the door. If everything goes the way we expect it to, both of these devices will land on the other carrier in the next few weeks, so the "grass is greener on the other side" effect should be kept to a bare minimum here.

Shenzhen Powtele rolls out touchscreen-based PMP-400
2007-08-22 10:30:00
If KindyElec's China-centric PMP wasn't your thing, then perhaps this new button-less wonder from Shenzhen Powtele will be more to your liking. Boasting a 4-inch 480x272 touchscreen, this one's available in 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB varieties, with an SD/MMC slot provided for further expansion. You'll also get support for just about every audio/video format you could ask for, including DivX, Xvid, and OGG, along with some rudimentary e-book support, and a TV output for some bigger screen viewing. No word on a price, although it's apparently intended for markets "worldwide" -- under a number of different brand names, no doubt.
