Elgato’s original EyeTV Hybrid USB tuner wasn’t exactly oversized, but the company has nonetheless managed shrink things down a bit for the device’s latest revision, and it’s added some Windows 7 support for good measure. Most of the size reduction comes from ditching the analog connector found on the previous model (you’ll still get an adapter), and you’ll also now get a sturdier aluminum enclosure that stays in line with the company’s Mac-only roots. Otherwise, Read More...

In a world full of stylish pocket camcorders, there are few reasons to recommend Coby’s ho-hum Snapp series, which has only just now managed the transition from cheap plastic junk to tasteful Flip knockoff with today’s introduction of the CAM3001, CAM4505 and CAM5001 Snapp HD. Recording 640 x 480 footage over MJPEG, the cheaper two models are still not much better than your average VGA webcam, and with only megabytes of internal storage, all three Read More...

We’ve had TiVo firmly on deathwatch since 2005, and although the company’s shares have recently surged with the launch of the TiVo Premiere and another legal victory over Echostar, things are still looking somewhat bleak: the Q4 numbers are in, and everyone’s favorite DVR company just posted a $10.2m loss. Why? For the same reason that’s plagued the company for five damn years now: it’s hard to sign up new subscribers when the cable company Read More...

Today in Tales from ASUS we bring you the story of the 10.1-inch Eee PC 1005PR. While we didn’t catch this one hiding out in the overflowing CeBIT booth, it appears big A has gone and swapped out the screen on the 1005PE for one with a 1366 x 768-resolution and tucked a Broadcom Crystal HD accelerator inside, which means the little lappie should be able to handle some YouTube HD (at least after you Read More...

Panasonic has the news day all to itself with its newfangled pair of Micro Four Thirds shooters, and in case you were wondering — yeah, this is the exact same duo that we saw slip out on Friday. Up first is the Lumix DMC-G2, which looks an awful lot like the G1 it replaces and is touted as the first interchangable lens system camera with touch-control shooting. Granted, we haven’t exactly warmed to the idea Read More...

We’re still not happy with NVIDIA’s failure to publish anything on its site alerting users about the doom that may befall them if they switched to the 196.75 drivers, but the company’s making an effort to get back into our good books with the first official video of its forthcoming GeForce GTX 480 and even a benchmark run against ATI’s flagship single-GPU card, the HD 5870. It looks like you’ll need to jack in a Read More...

We’ve been dying to know more about Microsoft’s Courier tablet / e-book device ever since we first caught wind of it last September, and while our entreaties to Mr. Ballmer went unanswered, we just learned some very interesting information from an extremely trusted source. We’re told Courier will function as a “digital journal,” and it’s designed to be seriously portable: it’s under an inch thick, weighs a little over a pound, and isn’t much Read More...

Lenovo may have introduced four billion new laptops at CES this year, but that’s not keeping us from tracking the ship date of every last one. With Intel’s mobile Core i5 still tough to find in shipping machines — particularly ones that could substitute as your work rig — we couldn’t be happier to see the IdeaPad Y460 up for order at the outfit’s webstore. The base unit gets going at $999 and includes a Read More...

Paging all butterfly-admiring netbook lovers! With spring upon us, HP’s officially launching the Mini 210 Vivienne Tam edition that it previewed back at September’s Fall Fashion Week, and, well, it sure is unique looking. We actually got to take a peek at it a few weeks ago, and while the butterfly adorned cover may only appeal to a certain sex type, the gold covered keyboard is what you’d expect kings and queens to type on.

Apple’s recent affair with cloud computing appears to be far from a dalliance: Apple has supposedly spoken to some of the major film studios about allowing iTunes users to store their purchased content on the company’s servers, according to unnamed sources speaking to CNET. The content, including TV shows and music, would be accessible from all Internet-connected devices.

Since Apple doesn’t comment on anything before it’s final, we’re left to speculate on the reasoning behind such Read More...
