JVC wants a piece of the Flip market, so its unveiled the rather attractive and shiny Picsio GC-FM1. It’s more than just a good looking compact camcorder, though. It sports an 8-megapixel sensor and can capture 1080p HD video. No built in memory here, but it shoots to SDHC cards so you can easily add more storage if you need to.

You’d think that JVC would include a card in the box to get you started, but no such luck. So, you’ll need one. Movies are in H.264 format and you can put them directly on YouTube. The device also features digital image stabilization and you can expect 96 minutes from a single charge.

We live in stressful times. Traffic is stressful, so are long lines at the grocery store. So is your job, since your boss is always on your case. Oh and all of those bills. It’s enough to make you scream. Serenity now! The StressWatch can help. Maybe.

It’s a design concept that reads heart rate and body temperature data and then interprets them as levels of stress on the trippy screen. The black bar at the bottom is the stress line. And if the cool colors on the watch turn into hot pink, red or orange, man you are stressed. The idea is that it will help you know when you need to calm down.

Hasselblad has unveiled a long awaited upgrade to its H System medium format cameras. The H4D is touted as being one of the first cameras to feature a true off-center autofocus system, known as True Focus. Even DSLRs often have to focus first and then reposition the camera to get focus away from the center, but the H4D has a yaw rate sensor that detects the horizontal and vertical movement away from the focus point and refocuses the lens to compensate for it.

The camera features automatic adjustment for color, vignetting and other image qualities and can be connected to a computer over FireWire to bypass the camera’s storage. The company’s own Phocus software has also been updated to be faster and easier to use.

Lenovo’s Q110 nettop has now gone on sale for $399. For that price you get 2GB of RAM and a 160GB hard drive, along with Windows Vista Home Premium. Though many of you will probably wait a few weeks and get it with Windows 7 loaded in.

Just realize that there is no keyboard or mouse included. Also it looks like the White model isnt available yet, only the black.

Epson’s new Workforce 610 all-in-one printer is aimed at small businesses and home offices and the like as it’s capable of handling a wide variety of jobs all in one convenient device. You might remember that when we reviewed last year’s model, the Workforce 600, we really liked it. So how did the 610 stack up? Read on and find out.

The Palm Pre just keeps getting better doesn’t it? Hot on the heels of showing up on Amazon for $99, Walmart is selling the Pre for $79.99.

That’s on contract and with mail-in rebate. Not great news for those of you who dropped $200 a few months ago though. If you’ve been waiting on a deal for the Palm Pre, this is it. It won’t get much cheaper. We think.

You probably already know that your cellphone leaks radiation into you while you’re on the phone. Of course you do. Though we try not to think about it, it is worth knowing which cellphones have the highest and lowest radiation levels. To that end, the Environmental Working Group has launched a website that rates cellphones on radiation output.

Here are the highlights: Ranking high on the list (in other words these phones put out the lowest levels of radiation) are the Motorola RAZR V8, and AT&T’s Samsung Impression. In fact, Samsung holds several spots at the top of the list. On the other end of the spectrum, some phones that rated poorly are T-Mobile’s myTouch 3G and the Blackberry Curve 8830.

Here’s some bad news for PSP owners who want to upgrade to the PSP Go when it’s released. Sony has killed the UMD conversion plan. The idea was that PSP owners who had original UMD copies of their games would be entitled to free PSN downloads of the title, so that they can play it on the PSP Go when they upgrade.

But sadly “legal and technical reasons” put the axe on this plan. Which really sucks for PSP owners who have games they absolutely love. It sure doesn’t encourage PSP owners to upgrade and must feel like a slap in the face.

An Archos Android-based phone had been rumored around the time it launched the Archos 5 Internet Tablet, and look what has just shown up on video. We can’t make heads or tails of French, but the spec sheet tells us what we need to know.

This baby Features a 1GHz ARM Cortex processor and a 4.3-inch 854 x 480 screen wrapped up in a 10mm thin titanium casing. Looks like a front-facing camera as well. Hopefully we’ll get more details soon. It looks pretty sexy. Check out a video below.

It’s that time of the week again, where we document the coming apocalypse by showing you just some of what we covered this week over at Botropolis. This may be the beginning of the weekend for you, but robots, like death, take no holidays.

JingJing And PuiPui: Tai Chi Bots.

Alpine’s latest iXA-W407 Digital Media Station supports iPod/iPhone playback (Sorry CD users, it won’t do CDs anymore) and sports a large 7″ QVGA touchscreen display along with integrated Bluetooth connectivity and other features.

The iXA-W407 is available as an all-in-one audio/video/navigation system package that includes the NVE-M300 GPS Navigation Drive. This all-in-one AVN package from Alpine will cost you a cool $1100. You can also connect USB devices and MTP-based MP3 players using the USB input.

The latest news to hit us from the Tokyo Game Show is this new limited edition Wii Sport Resort bundle that comes with a pair of MotionPlus accessories. The bundle will arrive on October 12th for $60.

So you save $10 if you bought the $50 Sport Resort with MotionPlus and a second $20 MotionPlus separately. Not Earth shattering news, but it’s something from the big N. Wii Sports Resort has already sold more than 1.25 million units in the United States alone, so it’s the least they could do.

The Eee Top ET2002 and ET2203 now have a firm launch date of October 22nd and some prices, £559 and £819. In American dollars that’s roughly $893 and $1,312.

Windows 7 is along for the ride too, along with NVIDIA ION. We really love the design on these, but $900 seems a little steep, but we’ll see what the general public thinks soon enough.

A New York District Court judge on Thursday announced the delay of the Google Book Search hearing and instead will hold a status conference on the scheduled October 7th date. Google Book Search is a settlement case that has been pending for more than four years between Google, the Authors Guild and the Association of American Publishers. The deal would allow Google to digitize millions of out-of-print, coprighted books and make them available for sale to readers online. The authors and publishers of the books would share in sales and advertising profits.

The delay from judge Denny Chin comes due to a recommendation from the Department of Justice who felt that the settlement proposal violates copyright, class-action and antitrust regulations. Chin stated that the hearing currently “makes no sense…as it does not appear the current settlement will be the operative one.”

The Sharper Image is starting to out some of their products again. Here we have 19 and 22 inch LCD TVs, each with an iPod Dock and DVD Player. The TSI-LCD22DVDi LCD sports a built in DVD player, USB, SD card reader and an iPod dock.

It looks pretty close to the JVC LCD TV’s that have the same feature. Other features include HDMI, PC Audio, VGA, component, S-Video, and RCA inputs. If 22″ is not the optimal size for you, Amazon has the same model in a 19″ version.
