New Design of Meizu M8

Here is a mockup of the 3 button scheme that the Meizu M8 has patented. This will at least make it less of a clone and more original. While still borrowing heavily from the iPhone. Similar to the original Meizu M6 was similar but not a clone of iPod Video.

JVC Everio GZ-MS100 makes Youtube videos

The JVC Everio GZ_MS100 camcorder has a special feature for those Youtube video uploaders. With it's built in software to covert 10 minutes of video for easy upload to Youtube. Weighing in a mere .6 pounds and records to SD media. The total cost will be $349.99.

New JVC Camcorder Offers One-Touch Uploading To YouTube™

WAYNE, NJ, May 19, 2008 – Sharing videos over the Internet is now easier than ever with the launch of a new JVC camcorder that provides one-button uploading to YouTube™, the leading online video community that allows people to discover, watch and share originally created videos.
The new JVC Everio S Series memory camcorder, the GZ-MS100, was designed to make sharing simple for the millions of people who enjoy sharing their videos with the world over the Internet. And unlike many of the other camcorders that target Internet users, JVC’s GZ-MS100 provides an impressive array of full-fledged camcorder features that give it the versatility to do more than shoot short Internet videos.
It looks strikingly similar to the popular Everio G Series camcorders, but is smaller and weighs only 0.60 lbs. including battery, because it records to an SD Card (user provided) instead of a built-in hard disk drive. The ever-increasing capacity and affordability of new SD Cards appearing on the market means that over time Everio S will be able to offer expanded recording time at a lower per minute cost.

Once the provided CyberLink software is installed on a Windows® PC, uploading video clips to YouTube™ is quick and easy. The camcorder has an UPLOAD button that works in two ways. In the camera mode, press UPLOAD and then the trigger, and this limits recordings to 10 minutes in length, which matches the YouTube™ file size limit. This eliminates the need to manually time recordings or go back to edit and shorten footage. After recording is done, connect the GZ-MS100 to a PC via a USB cable and press the UPLOAD button. This automatically launches the supplied application for uploading to YouTube™. After just a few mouse clicks the video will be up on the Internet for everybody to see. The original video quality is maintained in the camera, so it can be used for any other purpose.

For storage and cataloging, recorded videos can easily be transferred to a PC via USB2.0 or directly using the SD Card. The provided CyberLink application also allows easy burning to DVD using the computer’s optical disc drive. Or, to create DVDs without using a computer JVC offers the CU-VD3 Everio SHARE STATION as an option. Since it was designed as an Everio companion, this DVD burner accommodates Everio’s USB Host function that allows scene playback order to be rearranged within the camera before transfer.

The GZ-MS100 features Laser Touch Operation, first offered in the Everio G Series camcorders released earlier this year. The feature’s scroll bar and buttons are touch-sensitive so the user just glides a finger up or down the bar to choose menu items while its blue light follows the movements. The LCD screen itself is never touched, so it won’t get dirty, smudged or covered in fingerprints. The 2.7-inch LCD screen, the same one used on Everio G series models, has Auto Backlight Control to automatically adjust brightness for comfortable viewing indoors or outdoors. And with Auto Power ON/OFF, the user simply opens up the LCD to power-on and start shooting (takes only about one second if Quick Restart mode is engaged), and closes the LCD to shut the power off and avoid draining the battery.
The shape of the camcorder itself facilitates ease of use, with a contoured grip that snugly and securely fits the palm of the hand.

In addition to the supplied BN-VF808 rechargeable battery that provides 2 hr. 5 minutes of operation per charge, higher capacity batteries are available: BN-VF815 for 4 hr. 15 minutes and BN-VF823 for 6 hr. 25 minutes of continuous operation per charge.

Up front, the GZ-MS100 is equipped with a KONICA MINOLTA LENS that provides a 35x optical zoom with excellent picture quality. JVC’s proprietary Gigabrid Engine also contributes to quality by incorporating six digital noise reduction systems to improve the S/N ratio by about 30 percent (3dB) over previous models, and integrating the MPEG-2 encoder to help reduce block noise and mosquito noise. Other full-fledged camera functions include Program AE with shooting modes to accommodate a variety of situations (Night, Twilight, Portrait, Sports, Snow, Spotlight), Digital Image Stabilizer to minimize camera-shake, and much more.

The JVC GZ-MS100 will be available in June for $349.99.

If you want to be sure that your images are untouched then you might be interested in the Nikon Image Authentication Software, which also ships in July (but for $570). Finally there's Nikon Capture NX, which will be out this summer for $150. I've been playing around with a beta of Capture NX lately and really like what it can do.

HP Photosmart R727 reviewed

DCResource reviews the HP Photosmart R727.

What they liked:
Compact, stylish metal body
Large, sharp 2.5" LCD display; good low light visibility
Very good performance in most areas
Adaptive Lighting feature brightens up dark areas of your photos (though noise levels go up even more)
Tons of useful features: effective in-camera redeye removal (that really works), panorama stitching, image undelete, Image Advice, and more
Nice movie mode; zoom can be used during filming (though the sound will be picked up)
Very easy to use; elaborate in-camera help system
Photosmart Express feature lets you easily "tag" photos for sharing

Whatthey didn't care for:
Noisy images; soft, smudged details; some purple fringing
Low light focusing not great for a camera with an AF-assist lamp
Lots of button-mashing to get to commonly used settings buried in menu
Current zoom position not shown on LCD
LCD blackout during continuous shooting
More manual controls would've been nice
Camera always uses default settings when turned on (though note workaround in conclusion)
No optical viewfinder
Video output requires $80 dock purchase
No USB 2.0 High Speed support
Plastic tripod mount, hidden movie mode button
Shared photos not directly e-mailed to recipient
Full manual on CD-ROM

GadgetMix reviews EEE 904HA

GadgetMix reviews the EEE 904HA. The 904HA is just like the 1000H except with a smaller screen and slightly lower price.

It is around 100gm lighter than the 1000H and has front facing speakers. It has the same resolution as the EEE 1000H. The difference of screensize is just 1.3″, which is just not noticeable to me as I was using both the devices at the same time. It is also around $50-80 cheaper depending upon from where you buy it. But to me, the front facing speakers and lighter weight wins the battle over 1000H.

High End EEE Box

Asus will have two version of the EEE Box with some better specs. Mainly you will find HDMI and dedicated graphics. The Asus Eee Box B204 and B206 will still sport the same Intel Atom N270 CPU so don't expect to be playing Crysis on this thing. But it will be a better improved EEE Box for movie viewing.
