In strict megapixel to dollar terms, the new Optio E60 from Pentax is a real steal, at a mere $140 for its absurd 10 megapixels. Of course, there’s more to the story. The 3x zoom and lack of optical image stabilization — “High Sensitivity Digital Shake Reduction” is tiny comfort — won’t be winning you any “best candid shot of whatever we did last night” awards, but there are some decent automatic perks like face recognition and a “Green” settings mode for absolute novices that should keep you from getting booted out of your Flickr pool. The E60, which is powered by AA batteries, will be available in October.

It looks like those wanting to get some HD recoding done on the cheap but not willing to venture into some less familiar territory now have a new option to consider from Toshiba, which is set to release its new Camileo H10 camcorder. It’ll give you the usual 720p recording, along with a 5x optical zoom, a 10-megapixel sensor, 64MB of memory, an SDHC card slot for expansion, image stabilization, motion detection and, of course, an HDMI output to let you view your low-budget masterpieces. No word on a release ’round these parts, unfortunately, but those in the UK can apparently get their hands on one at the end of the month for

Dominic: Got it.
Chorus: NOOB GET OUT GET OUT
Dominic: What was that?

Chorus: YRMOMSUX!

Pretty soon both of these suckers are going to bottom out, and since there’s really no other players in the consumer video card game, at least one of them is going to bounce back. NVIDIA is at around $11, down from almost $25 a couple months ago, and AMD has been steadily declining for a […]


Pretty soon both of these suckers are going to bottom out, and since there’s really no other players in the consumer video card game, at least one of them is going to bounce back. NVIDIA is at around $11, down from nearly $25 a couple months ago, and AMD has been steadily declining for a long time and is on its way to becoming a penny stock. Have a tiny extra cash? There’s nowhere to go but up with these poor guys.

I’d bet on NVIDIA mainly because AMD is also squaring off against Intel, and that David/Goliath thing doesn’t always work out the way you want it to. They do however have NVIDIA on the run with the new Radeon 4870s, so the battle is far from over. [inspired by NVNews.net and Stockpickr]

Here’s the live stream of our Mobile Web Wars Roundtable, which starts at 3PM PT and ends at 5 PM. The Roundtable is a freewheeling discussion about whether the mobile Web is finally here and which platform will win going forward. While the iPhone seems like a slam dunk right now, can older platforms like Nokia’s Symbian or Windows Mobile replicate its success? Does Apple have anything to fear from Google’s Android? To help answer these questions we have an breathtaking group of mobile startup CEOs, top iPhone app developers, and other technologists on the RoundTable.

Please add your own comment or questions inside the video player or Twitter them to MobileWars. I’ll try to incorporate questions from the Web audience in the discussion.

We’re also streaming live via cellphone camera on our Kyte channel (after the break).

The participants on the Roundtable are:

David Rivas, Nokia, Vice President of Technology Management for S60 Software
Walt Doyle, CEO Ulocate
Tom Conrad, CTO Pandora
Greg Yardley, CEO of Pinch Media CEO
Bart Decrem, CEO of Tapulous
David Hornik, partner, August Capital
