Power2Charge
Power2Charge tries to get over the problem that anyone who travels with battery-driven technology knows only to well – that of having to carry a seperate charger for each device.

Earlier we looked at the Nikon L14. Now we take a gander at it’s big brother.
Nikon Coolpix L15
The L15 is more or less identical to the L14, substituting an 8.0 megapixel sensor and adding optical lens shift VR (Vibration Reduction) image stabilisation at the sacrifice of the superlong battery life.

There´s been a lot of chatter about the Sony Rolly. It’s been unclear what it is, or what it really does and by not revealing anything, Sony are starting to claw back some of the ‘magic’ that Apple has been enjoying for ages.
A video of it has _just_ come out (it was posted 36 minutes ago) … and it doesn’t really give you any more info as to what it might be. It moves around and flaps a little by the look of it. The thing that surprised us is how small it is.

Nikon has spilled the beans on no less than seven shiny new new consumer digicams, all expected to be parading on the shop shelves during September. We take a look at their two budget offerings.
Nikon Coolpix L14
Lurking closest to the bargain bin is the Nikon Coolpix L14, an entry-level jobbie which Nikon claims has the honour of having the longest battery life of any 3x zoom compact – a niche category if ever we saw one.

Sharp have shown their next generation LCD TVs – the summary?
They are phenomenally thin – extraordinarily thin.
How thin? 20mm thin, increasing slightly to 29mm at their thickest part. Crazy isn’t it?
The bezel is just as slim, with the top coming in at 20mm at the top and 25mm on sides.
Two years after Samsung first announced their intention to sell a dual fomat HD player that would play HD-DVD and Blu-ray – in the same unit.

Samsung have announced two 22″ monitors with a mic and 2mpx video camera built-in.
All that is needed to get going with the top of the range, 220TN, is an Internet- connected Ethernet cable in the back as all of the required software is installed.
They say that it’s been optimised for Microsoft Unified Communication (UC).

We were privileged to get our hands on the Pacemaker a while back – something we’d had a burning desire to do since we first heard about what the Pacemaker might be.
It’s a handheld DJ unit that packs a considerable punch – sufficient to make it realistic to play a whole DJ set using just the Pacemaker and no external units.
Slightly smaller than a vertically held PSP, it packs a 120GB drive; a colour display at the top touch sensitive cross-fader in the middle; circular selection pad at the bottom; a couple of buttons on each side and connectors on the bottom.
