Article Recap for the Week Ending Apr 10, 2009

Here’s some of the notable articles and gadgets from this past week:

A few weeks ago we reported on Legacy Locker asset access scheme in case of death, well now it’s live. Residents in Broughton, UK, decided that they didn’t like Google’s StreetView intrusion, and got a bit angry with the StreetView driver. In some positive Microsoft news, downgrades are going to be available for Windows 7, much like the XP downgrades from Vista.

Back to tangible gadgets: Guitar Hero enthusiasts will like these new Guitar Hero cufflinks (no batteries needed!), and Flip has a new tiny HD camcorder.

We made an attempt to answer the question “What is a Gizmo?” (a.k.a “What is a Gadget?” ).

Last but not least, the Conficker worm has gone live so it’s important to get your computer and security systems up-to-date.

Flip MinoHD

Huge camcorders are a thing of the past, but now so are HD camcorders. Flip MinoHD presents what they claim is ‘the world’s smallest high definition camcorder’ – just take a look at the photo and see how it compares with the size of the USB connector on the end!

The Flip MinoHD records in full HD 720p and has enough built in memory for 60 minutes of recording (4Gb), but it doesn’t allow for memory expansion. Installation isn’t necessary either, as Flip have designed their very own system known as ‘FlipShare’ which automatically loads the files onto your computer when you plug it in, without the need for lengthy drive installation. For people wanting to upload directly to Youtube HD, it supports one-click uploading to there, Myspace or even via email to your friends – simple drag-and-drop video editing is also included. Perhaps this is a sign of things to come (we hope!).

Sony Webbie HD Camera

Cameras and Photo, Gizmo of the Day, Portable / By /

A fun camcorder/camera for fun times. Sony’s Webbie HD weighs in at 7 ounces and is pocket-sized allowing you to record all your crazy life moments.

The camcorder records 8.5 hours of HD MP4 video which plays nicely with YouTube. The Webbie can also take and store thousands of photos using a built-in 5MP camera. Of course the number of photos and length of video depend on the size of the memory stick. So, since this is a Sony product, what memory stick do you think the Webbie uses? I hope you guessed a Memory Stick PRO Duo… 8.5 hours of video or thousands of photos are based on 16GB memory card.

So record your next adventure with impeccable detail as the Webbie can film in high-def (1440×1080/30p, 1280×720/30p) or standard definition (640×480/30p)… all for under $200! That’s right, the Sony Webbie is listed at $199.
