Pentax Goes For The Bargain Market With The Optio RZ10, RS1000
Author: Alexander McQueen
Pentax just announced two new budget P&S cameras, both of which are quite reasonably priced and ready to go into your purse or pocket for taking snaps of the kids. The RS1000, is customizable based on the color or design you chose, with a removable face plate and free Skinit gift card. The RZ10 is a little more serious camera, with a chose between four different colors: black, white, lime, and violet, and a 10x optical zoom.
The RS1000 is a 14 megapixel, 4x optical zoom, ultra-compact camera with 720p video. Roughly the size of a credit card, the RS1000 is quite obviously aimed at the casual snapshot shooter. MRSP is $149.95 – If you want one, I say go for it, but keep in mind that the picture quality may not be the best.
The Optio RZ10 however, is aimed at a slightly more discerning audience. The RZ10 has a 14 megapixel sensor was well, and it has a much more reasonable 10x optical zoom, 720p video, shake reduction, and support for the Eye-Fi wireless memory card. The RZ10 also has some built in art features, allowing you to make changes to the image before you upload it to you computer. MSRP on the RZ10 is a quite reasonable $219.95, and you’ll be able to pick one up this fall.

iPod Nano Still Has TV Out, Video DNA
Author: Alexander McQueen
Remember the last generation of iPod Nano? It made a great little video recorder, but ended up being banned in some gyms due to privacy concerns. You have to wonder, did Apple do such a complete redesign on the Nano because of that controversy? Well whatever the reason, there are still traces of that video capability in the firmware. Apple also left in the ability to display a photo slideshow via a special composite video cable.

Zotac introduces ID33 and ID34 Zbox mini PCs, complete with Atom D525 and Blu-ray
Author: Alexander McQueen
Now this is an HTPC worth gawking at. Zotac has just revised its long-standing Zbox line with a new duo, and we have to say — we’re digging the new look. Beyond the exterior improvements, the outfit has bolstered the internals by providing the HD-ID33 and HD-ID34 with Intel’s new 1.8GHz Atom D525 CPU, 2GB of DDR2-800 memory, NVIDIA’s next-gen Ion graphics platform, an HDMI output, 6-in-1 card reader, gigabit Ethernet, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, a couple of USB 2.0 ports and an unexpected pair of USB 3.0 sockets. The only notable difference between the two is the inclusion of a 250GB hard drive in the ID34, while the 2.5-inch HDD slot is left open for DIYers in the ID33. Windows 7 is onboard, naturally, as is a slot-loading Blu-ray drive that the company is (rightfully) proud of. It’s not talking prices just yet, but we’re willing to overlook a modest premium to finally get BD support within a delightfully small package. Hit the gallery below for more eye candy.

iPod Touch: No Vibration, Only 256MB Of RAM, Slightly Inferior Screen
Author: Alexander McQueen
The teardowns and close-lookings-at of the new iPod touch have revealed a few things. First, there actually is no vibrating motor, as thought earlier, and second, the new iPod touch has half of the iPhone 4′s RAM at 256MB. What does this mean?
Well, considering 256MB is more than enough to run pretty much everything out there, I don’t think we’re going to see much in the way of serious performance differences here. Probably it would help with multitasking, handling video in the iMovie app, and browsing large web pages and galleries. But most of the time things should be dandy.
The screen is also slightly worse on the iPod touch, which is something we’ve seen before. I’ll wait until more professional comparisons are done before making a big deal out of that.
We’re still waiting to hear a legitimate reason for limiting the rear camera to 960×720 stills, though.
