Princeton has announced its PUC-AVBOX, an upscan converter that lets you playback enhanced video from your DVD player or VHS recorder onto your LCD monitor. The PUC-AVBOX features VGA, component, composite, S-Video, Audio RCA (L/R) and stereo mini jack (3.5mm) as well as support for D-Sub output and Picture-in-Picture.

DVDs and VHS are so last decade, why not improve the quality? The device supports the following output resolutions and aspect ratios: XGA 1,024 × 768 (4:3), SXGA 1,280 × 1,024 (16:10), WXGA 1,440 × 900 (5:4), WSXGA 1,680 × 1,050 (16:10), Full HD 1,920 × 1,080 (16:9), WUXGA 1,920 × 1,200 (16:10).

This remains a rumor until we get something more concrete, but in an informal interview, a RIM executive strongly hinted that the BlackBerry line will be getting a front-facing camera for videoconferencing in early 2010. And they aren’t worried about the iPhone.

The mystery exec said, ““video conferencing is something that could completely change the mobile landscape and it is something we have been thinking about and working on for quite some time. You will start seeing something early next year”. It makes perfect sense, so we have no reason to doubt it. Are you looking forward to some videoconferencing?
