Nokia 6260

Posted Friday, December 19th, 2008 by TechGeek

This is a smart phone with a bizarre rotating screen which can be turned to any angle. It is TFT quality and capable of displaying 65,000 colors at a high resolution. The operating system is Symbian and you can use the phone to access the internet or view Microsoft Word and PowerPoint documents. It comes with 6MB memory and a range of connectivity options from Bluetooth to USB.

There’s also a 3 Megapixel camera, you can record short video clips and it has a built in FM radio and MP3 player. For business people on the move the email and internet features could prove invaluable and so could the additional connectivity options of Infrared and Pop-Port. This mobile also has voice functionality for dialing, commands and recording. It is a quality option but early user reviews suggest the twisting screen may be slightly flimsy and there may be some problems to work out with the software.

Hitachi DZ-BD70A Camcorder

Posted Friday, December 19th, 2008 by TechGeek

This is the world’s first Blu-ray disc camcorder. It is a single drive camcorder capable of recording one hour of high definition footage onto a standard Blu-ray disc. It has an HD quality twelve element lens system and it uses a 5.3 Megapixel CMOS image sensor. There is also a SD card slot and the camcorder can be used as a 4.32 Megapixel camera or you can save any frame of your video footage onto the SD card at a resolution of 2.1 Megapixels.

The camcorder can also record standard quality footage onto a DVD. It is designed for easy use but it certainly isn’t cheap at around $1,299 and since you can only record an hour of footage onto a single sided Blu-ray disc you may want to wait a while before investing in a Blu-ray camcorder. The first release of a new technology is seldom the best and Blu-ray camcorders are sure to come down in price and improve in quality over the coming months.

Dell M109S Projector

Posted Monday, December 15th, 2008 by TechGeek

This is a super small projector designed with busy business people in mind. It weighs just 0.8 of a pound and will easily fit in the palm of your hand. While this is perfect for presentations on the run in order to produce such a small projector Dell have obviously made sacrifices in terms of quality. It offers a brightness of 55 lumens and maximum resolution is just 858×600 at 4:3 aspect ratio. It can also only project up to 94.5 inches.

The light source is a mercury free LED which should last up to four years. Usefully it can use the same power adaptor as the Latitude or Vostro laptops. The size is the obvious selling point and the measurements are 3.64 inches by 4.12 inches by 1.46 inches which really is impressively small. The color quality is still good and you can hook it up to a laptop, PC, DVD player or a games console if you like. Price wise it costs around $499.

Dell Inspiron Mini 12

Posted Monday, December 15th, 2008 by vernons

This is a handy notebook/netbook crossover with a 12.1 inch screen and fairly basic specs. It features Intel’s cheap Atom 1.6GHz processor and you have a choice of 60GB or 80GB hard drives. It is fairly slim at 0.92 inches thick and quite attractive and it weighs just 2.72 pounds so it is very portable. It will come with Windows Vista, a basic built in webcam, 1GB RAM and Bluetooth and wireless connectivity.

The display is slightly bigger than most netbooks and it offers decent quality images with good brightness at wide viewing angles and a resolution of 1280×800. There are several ports including 3 USB ports, a VGA port, a 3-in-1 card reader and jacks for a microphone or speakers. At just under $600 it won’t break the bank but it isn’t particularly powerful so it is probably only suitable for casual users. Dell seem to be aiming it at the teen market.
