After the speculation on Sony’s possible prepping of a prosumer digital-SLR at around the $1k price-point, tentatively predicted to be the A300, these photos of the full camera have been dug up from the Xitek forum. There are no other details - and the camera isn’t labelled with a model number, although it’s definitely part of Sony’s Alpha range - but it definitely looks to be a derivative of the A200’s design. |
|
An alternative theory currently being thrashed out on the dyxum forum is that this could in fact be the A200 Ultra, a slightly upgraded version of the A200 but not a completely fresh model.
We’ll bring you any more information as soon as we get it. Xitek forum [via Engadget] |

Some big boasts from Monster at CES 2008, who are calling their iCarPlay 250 the “world’s most advanced” iPod FM transmitter. Featuring a low-profile control unit with blue LCD display, three channel preset buttons and autoscan, the iCarPlay 250 trawls the FM spectrum not once but three times before selecting the clearest frequency; it can also adjust the power output on individual frequencies which will apparently ensure maximum clarity and strength. |
|
The 12V cigarette lighter plug is attached to the dashboard unit via a removable USB plug, meaning you can use it to recharge any other device which gets its juice from a USB connection. Alternatively, the iCarPlay 250 can be powered from a laptop or desktop USB port, should you want to use it in your office instead. I’d have to hear it in action to know whether the sound quality gets anywhere near a direct cable hookup to the car stereo, but a suggested price-tag of $99.95 seems reasonable. |

Clarion’s high-end in-car entertainment systems have been edging onto ultraportable PC territory for a while now, and they’ve finally made the jump into bed with Intel and launched a Mobile Internet Device (MID) at CES 2008. |
|
The Clarion MiND (Mobile Internet Navigation Device) is an ideal example of the chip manufacturer’s digital companion vision: based around a 5.2-inch WVGA 800 x 480 touchscreen and the Intel Menlow platform (comprising the Silverthorne processor and Poulsbo chipset), the device has 4GB of flash memory, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, provision for a 3G data module and/or WiMAX, GPS and a digital camera.

Razer have officially announced at CES the Mako 2.1 THX-certified gaming speaker system that James went head over heals for back in October, and I hope he’s been saving up his pocket money since bi-amped, 2.1 audio with Class HD amplifiers apparently don’t come cheap. |
|
Setting the price at $399.99 or €399.99 in Europe, each satellite speaker pumps out 50W and the total system power is 300W.

When someone says they are watering the plants, that could mean any number of things. Generally for me it means a miracle has occurred and I’ve remembered to actually water them. That also means I’m watering dried up dead plants. However, for some it is a much more religious act. For those that like keeping their plants pampered this Oxygenating Watering Can is just the thing to keep you plants looking healthy. |
|
Studies show that plants grow faster, bloom earlier, have richer colors and bear more flowers with the use of oxygenated water. This watering can works by filling it with tap water, then just plug it in for 4-5 minutes. Then just water the plants as you normally would.
With spring coming up (eventually), you’ll need a new watering can to start out the season. It is being sold for $99.95. |
