Heads-Up on a new Wearable Camcorder

If you are going on the piste this winter or you are into mountain biking, skateboarding or off-roading then here’s a neat little widget available soon that might interest you. It’s called Vholdr and it’s a self contained, wearable, armoured, camcorder measuring just 95 x 53 x 34mm and weighing only 136 grams and it works in snow, rain, mud and just about anything else you care to chuck at it.

It records audio and video (640 x 480) onto SD memory cards (50 minutes per gigabyte), and the lithium polymer battery lasts around 2 hours. Read More »

Wired picks Zune 80 over iPod Classic

Taken from Wired:
The big conundrum this holiday season? It’s not how to escape your in-laws. (You’re trapped, fool!) It’s which media player to buy that special someone. The initial knee jerk reaction is to buy the 80GB iPod Classic. Not so fast, there hotshot. There’s also the brand new 80GB Zune 2, which is actually your better bet. The kids are getting a Zune for Christmas, even if they asked Santa for an iPod. Read More »

Windows Live Spaces Explodes

Don’t rule Windows Live Spaces out of the race for eyeballs on the social networking world just yet. Over the past year, the Redmond company’s online social hotspot delivered a consistent evolution in terms of the audience it managed to attract. According to Marketing Charts, and based on statistics compiled by Nielsen Online, Microsoft has gathered quite a crowd to Windows Live Spaces. At this point in time, Windows Live Spaces occupies the fourth position in the top 10 social networking sites for the U.S. market.

Nielsen Online revealed that Windows Live Spaces grew 8% in the past year. Between November 2006 and November 2007, the number of Windows Live Spaces unique users exploded from 8.8 million to 9.5 million, per month. But, in terms of the actual growth rate, Live Spaces outperformed the top social networking destination in the U.S. - MySpace.com. Read More »

Add an HDTV tuner to your PC for $29

OK, so maybe now is not the best time to add a TV tuner to your PC. Thanks to those striking writers, there’s not much left worth watching, time-shifting, or recording. Still, the day will come when Battlestar Galactica, Lost, and 30 Rock come back to us, so it’s best to be ready.

I was pretty stoked about that Viore HDTV tuner from a couple weeks ago, but I found an even better deal: the KWorld PlusTV HD Hybrid Stick 330. This USB tuner can pull in analog signals from the precious cable-TV cable or digital over-the-air HD broadcasts from the included antenna (though you’re almost always better off with a set of rabbit ears or an outdoor antenna).

Mobile Notetaker Digitizes Your Analog Notes

The Mobile Notetaker attaches to the top of any pad of paper and digitizes your notes for download to a computer later (and translated to editable text). It can store up to 50 standard pages of notes or doodles, and costs $170. It’s aimed at solving the same problem of analog vs. digital notes that the FLY Fusion Pentop Computer is attempting. I need one, because I take really good notes at meetings with my boss. Okay, they’re more like drawings. Read More »

Free Tourist Terminator

We’ve all been there… You find yourself at some exotic location, trying to take a once in a lifetime picture of a famous landmark or some picturesque scenery when a gormless tourist, car or bus wanders into the frame. There’s nothing like an articulated lorry or daft-looking stranger to spoil a classic, potentially award-winning photograph, but what can you do?

The answer is simple, keep still and shooting. Take as many pictures as you can then when you get home run the images through a piece of software called Tourist Remover. It’s ingenious, it checks the images, finds all of the bits without moving objects, tourists and so on, then stitches them together and hey presto, a clean photo with no hideous holidaymakers spoiling the view.

Listen to XM Radio on your Windows Mobile Phone

Apparently, XM Radio allows you to listen to their content without actually using an XM Radio receiver. Sure it makes sense most of the time, but if you don’t feel like carrying around a receiver all the time or maybe you’re indoors and out of line-of-sight… and you’ve got your Windows Mobile phone with you, why not tune it through a Windows Media stream on your cellular network?
