Jetyo’s HDV-T900 solar-powered camcorder will capture only your brightest holiday memories

Jetyo's HDV-T900 solar-powered camcorder will capture only your brightest holiday memories (video)

This traditionally-shaped camcorder may not be ergonomically friendly, but it is environmentally friendly — ostensibly, anyway. It’s the HDV-T900 from Jetyo, a 720p30 model that records to SDHC memory cards through what appears to be a fixed zoom lens (its specs promise only an 8x digital zoom). The thing that makes… Continue reading

Freetalk Everyman HD webcam up for pre-order at Skype store

For all the talk of HD webcams, we’ve seen precious little at the Skype shop — until now. Freetalk’s Everyman HD (Talk-7140) features on-board H.264 hardware encoding for up to 720p video at 22fps, with minimum system requirements of WIndows XP, 1GB RAM and a dual core 2GHz CPU. Apparently, Mac users (OS X 10.4 or better) can expect VGA quality

PS3 firmware 3.30 sneaks in remote play from PC, bitstream audio options

Additional trophy sorting and 3D gaming readiness should have been enough to satisfy and PS3 owner after the latest v3.30 system update (hey, at least it didn’t take anything away this time) but there’s a couple other surprises in store. If you’re the kind of person who loves (or hates) their beeps and bloops, there’s a toggle for… Continue reading

Sony Dash spotted on shelf at Best Buy a few days early

Now, what do you know about that? Our very own Chris Ziegler stopped into Best Buy (undoubtedly right after leaving CB2) and spotted something we didn’t expect to see just yet… the Sony Dash. That’s right, the Dash – which is available for pre-order but wasn’t supposed to hit retail until April 29th — is already on the shelf. Now, there was only… Continue reading

HP ships Swing motion controller hardware with Pavilion PCs in India

The vaguely kidney bean-shaped device above is actually, believe it or not, yet another motion controller. Details are scant, but apparently the HP Swing is being bundled with HP Pavilion desktop PCs in India (starting at 29,990 Rupees, or about 0). The thing will not be available separately, and as far as we know there are no plans to release it in the

One more thing… two iPod touch prototypes with camera briefly show up on eBay

Another day, another Apple leak. This time it’s an eBay double whammy of the camera-donning iPod touch, which appears to be of the same design from August but now with iPod branding on the back. Furthermore, the two devices bear the prototype identification codes “DVT-1″ and “DVT-2″ (“DVT” stands for “design verification test” in Apple-speak, according to Daring Fireball), while… Continue reading
