Benq DSC-X835 claimed the world’s slimmest 8 mega pixel digital compact camera and now it is Casio turn.

CES 2008: APC AV’s C2 power filter discretely protects your flatscreen

By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Jan 9th 2008 No Comments

It’s ironic that people are willing to spend so much money on high-end LCD and plasma TVs but then blanch at buying power regulating equipment that could save their screen in the event of a lightning storm or power surge. APC AV are certainly taking the “but it looks ugly” argument out of the equation with their C2 Power Filter; while it might resemble little more than a black shoe-box, the fact that it’s merely two-inches deep means it can be sited behind a wall-mounted display.

CES 2008: Delphi’s universal Hub for straightforward in-car customisation

By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Jan 9th 2008 No Comments

This may look like an ugly USB hub, but it’s actually much more than that – it’s Delphi’s hat-tip to the fact that computing has flourished by having industry-standards in connectivity for the past few years, that users might want to come and plug PMPs, memory sticks and more into their car’s ICE system, and that manufacturers may think about giving them the USB, audio and video socketry to do that.

CES 2008: FLIR Thermal Imaging Cameras

By Christina Crouch on Tuesday, Jan 8th 2008 1 Comment

Driving at night is hard on a lot of people, my mother included, so I appreciate the thinking behind FLIR’s thermal imaging cameras. Thermal imaging makes pictures from heat and since everything gives off heat, it only seems to make sense to give yourself a better view during the night. Night vision technology is here for the everyday person, not just the military. FLIR had four different cameras on display, each with it’s on special purpose.

CES 2008: Green Plug UPP

By Christina Crouch on Tuesday, Jan 8th 2008 No Comments

Green Plug was the first developers of digital technology that enable real-time collaboration between electronic devices and their power sources. Today I got to experience their newest electronic component chip: the Green Plug Universal Power protocol (UPP). It’s for consumer electronics, residential and commercial builders, automotive, aircraft, and power tool manufacturers.

The Green Plug UPP, once connected with the DC Power hub, can simultaneously power multiple devices, each with their own specific voltage and power requirements. The technology within these devices will minimize solid waste by allowing you to keep your chargers for future use once the device becomes obsolete.

CES 2008: Sony A300 rumor-saga continues with full camera photos

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Jan 8th 2008 No Comments

After the speculation on Sony’s possible prepping of a prosumer digital-SLR at around the $1k price-point, tentatively predicted to be the A300, these photos of the full camera have been dug up from the Xitek forum. There are no other details – and the camera isn’t labelled with a model number, although it’s definitely part of Sony’s Alpha range - but it definitely looks to be a derivative of the A200’s design.
