On Monday the world’s biggest camera took the world’s biggest picture - a not very wallet-friendly 31′ by 111′. The camera body was an aircraft hangar, the film was cloth soaked in light sensitive chemicals and the exposure was a tedious ten days. Of course, there are limited options with a camera this big, and it can only snap whatever happens to be in front of it - a disused Marine Corps Air Station.

All in all then, this is one useless, but awesome, camera. The unusual undertaking was… Continue Reading»

We don’t know how many of you were patiently waiting for the Zen Wav to hit our fair shores, but it looks like the tiny black DAP has finally made it out of Asia. Other than the tinny built-in speakers, there’s not a lot you haven’t seen from Creative before: 4GB of flash, 1.5-inch screen, line-in, smug sense of non-conformity, and an FM tuner. All yours at Wal-Mart for $99.[Via EpiZENter]… Continue Reading»

It’s not often X-Micro pops up on our radar, but it looks like the company is still kicking it at the PMP game, with it recently introducing another pair of new players you’ll likely have trouble distinguishing from the multitude of similar devices competing for your tunes. On the low(er) end, the company’s got its EVA 220 MP3 player, available in 512MB, 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB varieties, and boasting a 128×64 blue blacklit display, a built-in FM radio, and support for nothing more than plain old WMA and MP3 audio. Offering a few… Continue Reading»

Right on cue, Creative’s beefed-up 16GB ZEN V Plus has made its way from Singapore to our shores, offering twice the capacity of the company’s previous top-end model. Otherwise, the player appears to be identical to others in the line (apart from a new black and white color scheme), boasting a 1.5-inch OLED display, a built-in FM radio, and support for MP3, WMA, WAV and Audible audio formats, along with uncompressed AVI video. It’s also somewhat less expensive than the straight currency conversion from Creative’s Singapore site suggested, with it now officially… Continue Reading»

HTC today announced official US availability of its mobile monster (and we do mean “monster”), the Advantage. Known alternately as the Athena and X7501, the sucker rocks pretty much every feature one could want in a pocketable device: 256MB of onboard ROM, 128MB of RAM, 8GB hard drive, HSDPA 850 / 1900 alongside quadband GSM, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, 3 megapixel autofocus cam, integrated GPS, and an incredible 5 inches of VGA display madness sitting atop Windows Mobile 6 Professional. Coming in at a hefty 134 x 98 x 16mm (20mm with keyboard… Continue Reading»

The good news is that the official Windows Mobile 6 Professional update for the Treo 750 is just around the corner; the bad news, though, is that you probably can’t have it yet unless you’re lucky enough to live in one particular corner of the world. Following countless incognito shots of WM6-sporting 750s in the wild, an imminent official announcement was pretty much a foregone conclusion — though we admittedly never suspected Australia would be the first to get the hookup. Specifically, customers of the Australian branch of Hutchison 3 will be… Continue Reading»

Granted, this week may be a bit too in many parts of the country, but Interactive Frontiers is hoping that you can beat the heat by figuring out exactly what clubs you’ll need for your next outing. The firm, which created the V1 Pro Digital Coaching System, is now introducing the V1-8CAM to “simultaneously capture eight angles of warm to walk a round of 18video streams” of individuals practicing their swing. Subsequently, fitters can use the data to “more precisely evaluate performance and determine optimal club and putter specifications for clients,” and just in… Continue Reading»
