Should I upgrade to EOS 60D?
It’s worth to upgrade to 60D if you are the owner of 550D, 500D, 450D. However, if you are the owner of 50D, we don’t suggest you to upgrade to 60D, unless you really love the new features of the 60D such as Rotation Live Viewer, SD Card Slot…etc. For 50D owner, why don’t consider to upgrade to 5D Mark II? Of course, pricing is a great issue to consider. Feel free to leave a comment and share your opinion.
What’s Hot This Week – Sanyo VPC-PD2
Finally, Sanyo created another great design Video Camera. So we pick Sanyo VPC-PD2 Video Camera this week. Few years ago around 2004, Sanyo released a breaking through video camera called VPC-C4. (check this out, Sanyo VPC-C4, you might have seen it). Sanyo also won a GOOD DESIGN award in Japan. So many people love this camera as it has dual features. Video and Photo taking together. However, we haven’t had a good chance to see further breaking through Video Camera. I don’t count on CA9 (waterproof) or HD2, HD2000 (HD series). As the “shape” is still similar to the previous models, just enhance the features and more powerful megapixels…etc.
Now, Sanyo designers can be pound of this little video camera. (even though we haven’t had a chance to test it around or write a detailed review but we still have a high expectation about this product).
I personally like the Super-fast Start-up “Reduce the chance of missing the perfect shot. The Dual Camera PD2 is designed for super fast start-up and shooting. With its tapeless design, the PD2 eliminates the need to queue up a video tape, allowing it to begin shooting in as little as 1.7 seconds! Simply power on the PD2 and immediately begin recording.”
Yup, for a little camera we care about the start up time. Just 1.7 seconds, especially useful if you travel around, snap shot any video or photos almost instantly. Price? no clue at this moment, feel free to leave a message here if you found it.

So you cannot find any FM Radio, Bluetooth...etc.
RingSet ONE
If anyone who wants his/her lover to have a “lock” with each other, here is a clue you can get some ideas for.
Designed by Bas van Leeuwen & Mireille Meijs and production in the Netherlands, material used is silver, gold and whitegold. Will Sony Playstation or Nintendo Wii use this ring as their future controllers? for a fighting game?
Nintendo 3DS – A Real 3D Portable Player
Nintendo 3DS made its official debut to the world at E3 in Los Angeles last month. It comes with a new analog joystick, a slightly modified take on the DS design, a couple of extra cameras, and the 3D top display.
Platform producer Hideo Konna says that the handheld gamer is in its “final shape,” but Reggie Fils-Aime is quick to say that the final design isn’t quite there. This leads us to believe that some minor changes may be in the works, but there shouldn’t be anything major. What if we want a bigger screen? They’re not denying the possibility of a Nintendo 3DS XL, but they’re not exactly confirming it either.
There are still questions hanging over the Nintendo 3DS's release date and price. While Nintendo say they're planning to release their new handheld within this fiscal year, there's been absolutely no word on what it will cost. However, that concern aside, Nintendo have produced a remarkable device which makes an unshakable case for the company's continued dominance of the handheld console market.
CardScan BlackBerry Connector
The CardScan Connector for BlackBerry is an add-on (a software plug-in) for the BlackBerry Desktop Manager that lets you sync CardScan contact data directly between CardScan and your BlackBerry device. Get started in minutes; sync with ease. Just install the add-on and specify the CardScan data file or files you want to synchronize. Then connect your BlackBerry to your computer and sync up using the BlackBerry Desktop Manager’s familiar synchronization commands. Use it with the latest BlackBerry and CardScan technology. The CardScan Connector for BlackBerry works with BlackBerry Desktop Manager v4.0.1 or higher, and with CardScan (Personal, Executive, Team or Lead Qualifier) v7.0.5 or higher.
How much is it? MSRP $29.99 USD
We hope there is a version for iPhone CardScan version, if any.
Play with “The STREET” ?
Available in Black and White
MUSIC & TALK MEETS THE STREETS
Bluetooth just got cool thanks to the Jabra STREET. Not only does it look good, it sounds great. Finally a product that lets you listen to music from your mobile - without damaging your style!
Jabra STREET plays music from any enabled device such as mobile phone and Mp3 player. Play, pause, skip - remote control your music without touching your mobile.* Yep, that’s right - no wires!
No need for phone envy - keep it in your pocket! When a call comes in, your tune pauses and the call connects. A microphone in the dog tag picks your voice up, loud and clear. No hands, no missed calls.
The dog tag design keeps the wearing style simple. But if it doesn’t fit your wardrobe, use the optional clip. Your belt, your bag, your pants - you choose the look, you choose the style.
- Music and talk meets the streets
- Up to 7 hours of music playing
- Up to 8 hours talk time
- Create your own style
- Exchangeable earphones
- Optional lanyard and clothing clip
- One device for music and mobile (this is the coolest feature)
We also try to find a similar Bluetooth with built-in MP3 player by other brands. Interestingly, only a few famous brand made such products. You may still find some called Sony DRC-BT60 and Sony DRC-BT30 . Jabra Street is a slim device but just comes with 2 colors (Black and White). Sony BT30 even comes with 4 different colors (Pink, Blue, Black, White). But the size is still a bit bigger than Jabra Street. If anyone who has experience about this device, please share your comment in this post.
