Sony New Zealand (of all places) is the first to release details of the company’s new E series of MP3 players, each sporting
a 2.0 inch QVGA TFT LCD screen supporting 262,144 colours.
The players come with three different memory capacities, with the NWZ-E435 offering 2GB, NWZ-E436 4GB and the top of the range NWZ-E438 serving up just 8GB of storage (come on Sony – folks are getting used to 16GB and 32GB capacities now and 8GB is, like, sooooo 2007).
Details of the eagerly awaited full frame Canon 5D Mark II dSLR are beginning to leak all over t’Internet.

Substantial amounts of desirous drool were seen dribbling from the mouths of our graphics department with the announcement of Lenovo’s ThinkPad W700 mobile workstation.
Created for graphics professionals, photographers and designers on the move, the W700 packs a bright (400-nit) 17-inch display with a resolution of 1920×1200 (WUXGA) and beefy Intel Extreme Quad-Core processors, but what makes this laptop really stand out from the crowd is the inclusion of an optional built in Wacom digitiser and colour calibration unit.

For ramblers, hikers and general all-terrain rugged folks looking to capture some outdoors photography, lugging a decent tripod around can be a bit of a chore, so Trek Technologies are hoping that their hybrid tripod/walking stick will prove a hit.
A hybrid what do we hear you ask? Well, indeed. It might seem like a curious creation on paper but it’s even weirder when you get your hands on the thing. For starters, it’s not so much a walking stick as a ruddy great staff that looks like it should be waved about by Charlton Heston as he busies himself parting the Red Sea.
Further proof of Google’s towering dominance of the search market has been revealed in the latest figures released by stats analysts comScore.

Coming a little late to the netbook party but still hoping that its celebrity name will guarantee a good seat at the table is Lenovo, who have just announced their IdeaPad S10, a 10-inch mini-notebook running the 1.6GHz Intel Atom chipset.
