Toshiba unveils 32GB SDHC card
Looks like SDHC has finally fulfilled its potential, with Toshiba announcing the availability of its 32GB SDHC flash memory cards. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to pick one up until next January, but those who can’t wait can always make a beeline for the 16GB model that will be released this October. Since digital cameras these days tend to pile up on the megapixel count, it makes perfect sense for flash storage media to grow in proportion, and the 32GB SDHC card is the right candidate to play the role. Pricing details are unavailable, but do expect to fork out a premium for one of these.

Sony has a spanking new professional HDV camera known as the HVR-HD1000U that mounts atop your shoulder just like a rocket-propelled grenade launcher, and it comes with a 6.1 megapixel CMOS sensor. It not only supports HDV, but standard definition DV formats as well to suit your recording needs. You can shoot up to an hour of HD video on a 6mm cassette tape, and the down-conversion modes allow users to continue working with their current standard definition production. The presence of the Super NightShot function makes it a cinch to record video in zero lux light levels for night monitoring and surveillance purposes. The Sony HVR-HD1000U is tipped to be released this December for less than $1,900. Will Santa drop one of these for me?
Ronald holds the honor of inventing the smallest Pong game in the world, utilizing a mere 8-pin PIC processor and is also the only one of its kind to use two potentiometers for the bat controls similar in mechanics to the orginal Pong game. Man, the wonders of the human mind never ceases to amaze me. Don’t you just find the extremely small circuit board mind boggling, considering how Pong used to come in large cabinets back in its heyday?
Now here’s a new portable media player from China-based Shenzen Powtele, sporting a 4″ touchscreen display with a maximum resolution of 480 x 272 pixels. There is no sight of a button since everything is controlled via the touchscreen, so make sure you have a piece of lint-free cloth handy. It would be prudent to pick up a screen protector of some sort as well. This PMP comes in 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB varieties, although there is an SD/MMC memory card slot for you to further expand your entertainment options. There is no word on pricing or availability - would you pick this up over the iPod Video?
Vizio has definitely grown by leaps and bounds as a company - once touted to be the fastest growing brand of HDTVs, the company is now the top selling brand of flat panel HDTVs in the US (both plasmas and LCDs are taken into the equation). This has caused Vizio to forge onward, releasing four new HD LCD TVs for consumers to choose from. The four are the 42″ VU42LF, the 42″ GV42LF, the 47″ GV47LF, and the 54″ GV52LF that retail for $1,199.99, $1,399.99, $1,699.99, and $2,299.99 respectively. All except the VU42LF feature full HD resolution and will come under the wing of Vizio’s Gallevia brand. The VU42LF and GV42LF models are basically the same except that the latter comes with a removable base and speakers, hence the slight premium in price.
Most laptops these days might come with pretty high end specifications, but they’re of little value when it comes to great quality audio. Most of the time, the included speakers are more often than not an afterthought, but Toshiba aims to change that perception by collaborating with the Waves company - one of the audio industry’s most respected manufacturers of audio processing technology. Newer Toshiba laptops will see (or rather, hear) the wonders of Waves’ MaxxAudio signal processing technology. Unfortunately, this improvement can only be heard on Japan-bound notebooks.
