In its battle with Sony for 1080i pistol grips, Sanyo just announced a minor, but notable update to its premium HD1000 Full HD MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 camcorder. The new HD1010 adds improved image processing, new “face chaser” technology for stills and video, and pleasing new 300fps slow-motion mode. Nothing compared to Casio’s freakish EX-F1 but a nice novelty for shooting the kids’ sporting adventures. Sanyo also tossed in a new 7fps continuous still shot mode which snags images at the sensor’s maximum 4 megapixel resolution. A minor bump for sure but it makes for a compelling offering for that low asking price of just $800 when it hits the US in July (Japan, June 20th).
Update: Akihabara News went hands-on in the video posted after the break.

I think that $40 is too much for a Wii remote. There, I stated it. So it’s been with great interest that I’ve kept an eye out for a replacement remote for the one I lost, hoping against hope that we’d all soon see some third party remotes start to pop up. Well, there appear […]
I think that $40 is too much for a Wii remote. There, I said it. So it’s been with great interest that I’ve kept an eye out for a replacement remote for the one I lost, hoping against hope that we’d all soon see some third party remotes start to pop up.
Well, there appear to be some coming from Germany. A company called Hama has some poorly-translated information about “Reemotes” which will sell for 35 Euro each. Standard Wii remotes cost about 40 Euro each, so the savings is negligible unless you really, really want a black one.
I’d really like to see something more around the $25 to $30 range some day. Is that too much to ask? Maybe with a rechargeable battery, too. No word on when these German ones will be released or if they’re ever coming here to the US. Maybe we’ll see remotes from other companies, though.

Luckily, my electric bill is covered by the building (I pay for gas), but those of you who have to pay your own way, take heed of this advice: turn off your video game console, and make sure they’re not in standby mode. A recent study shows that a PS3 plugged in and on standby pulls […]
Luckily, my electric bill is covered by the building (I pay for gas), but those of you who have to pay your own way, take heed of this advice: turn off your video game console, and make sure they’re not in standby mode.
A current study shows that a PS3 plugged in and on standby pulls five times as much electricity as a refrigerator similarly plugged in.
Other electronic devices, like plasma TVs and laptops, use a decent amount of electricity while plugged in, even if not in use.
Moral of the story? Unplug all your electronics if you don’t want to spend any more of your money on utilities.

The baby boomer generation is old and they need as much help as possible. My own mom is constantly asking me for a cell phone with bigger numbers and a larger screen. “But it has to look pretty”, she says. She doesn’t necessarily need the FotoDialer, yet, but my grandparents could probably benefit from it […]
The baby boomer generation is old and they need as much help as possible. My own mom is constantly asking me for a cell phone with bigger numbers and a bigger screen. “But it has to look pretty”, she says. She doesn’t necessarily need the FotoDialer, yet, but my grandparents could probably benefit from it now.
It’s a pretty ingenious device and I can’t recall whether or not anything like this has been launched in current years. Up to 24 phone numbers can be stored over six pages with four pics (23) each. The user only needs to identify who they’re trying to reach among the 24 photos and push the corresponding button next to it. It’s only $50!
