Zoom’s Q3 Video recorder is touted as being the first and only handheld video recorder to record HD audio, and in it’s class it is certainly a unique offering. It caught our eye back in July, but now the Q3 has finally begun to ship to consumers.

The device records 24-bit/48 kHz audio using a pair of condenser microphones and is powered by two AA cells and captures video at 640 x 480 (30fps). It also sports a 2.4-inch 320 x 240 LCD and an SDHC card slot.

Joining the ranks of all of those other recently announced HD PMPs, is the Philips SA075. There isn’t much information about this guy right now, but rumor has it that it will come with an 800×480 touchscreen, and feature HDMI output.

It will support HD video playback, but we don’t know the exact definitions,720p or 1080p. That’s about all we know at the moment sadly, but we’ll keep on eye out on this one for you.

The Wii has some good titles, but I can’t say that it has many great titles. And playing in 480p has been disappointing. And where have the good games been lately? It makes sense to wonder if the big N has a console refresh coming soon.

Yoichi Wada, president of Square Enix seems to think that there’s a new Wii coming. He also predicts that Microsoft and Sony’s motion efforts won’t be “truly successful.”

According to Wada, the next-generation HD Wii will have the same capabilities as the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and this new Wii will also add a new motion controller. Sadly we have to wait until 2011, like previous rumors have stated.

You can now pre-order the second generation Vado HD pocket camcorder from Creative. It comes with new Vado Central for Mac OS X that offers video transferring and direct to iMovie importing of your Vado videos. The new Vado Central will be available for download in early September and yes, it is compatible with previous Vado and Vado HD models.

The new Vado HDs come in 4GB and 8GB models. You’ll get up to 60 minutes of video for the 4GB and up to 120 minutes of video on the 8 GB model. It’s available in two color combinations, a 4GB glossy white with green and an 8GB glossy black with red. The 4GB model is $179.99, while the 8GB model retails for $199.99.

If you are in the market for a Lenovo Ideapad S10 netbook, you may want to wait just a bit. You’ll be happy to know that the device can now handle high definition video, although the other specs remain the same. Like it’s Intel Atom N280 processor, 1GB RAM, 160GB hard drive, 6-cell battery and Windows XP Home for the OS.

The high definition Lenovo Ideapad S10 will retail for just 349 Euros. It will be available soon at your favorite electronics stores.

Brando loves to release docking stations for your SATA HDDs every couple of months. This latest unit adds H.264 decoding to the already present DivX, Xvid and MPEG-4 and outputs to full 1080p. It features HDMI and a bunch of supported media formats. It gives you a lot of options.

This new device accepts 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch hard drives as well as USB flash memory, SD, MMC, and MS cards. There’s much to like. Until you get to the price, which is $199. There are nicer looking alternatives available for about half that.

Here’s a device that stands out from the crowd. The Olevia HD Media Player, also known as the ZP-500. This media player can decode, playback and output full HD video (Amazing 1080p) via its HDMI 1.3 interface. Supported codecs include MKV, HD MPEG2, HD VC-1, HD AVC/H.264 movie and RMVB HD. You can also stream from a USB flash drive or hard drive to your new HDTV.

Yes it comes with built-in network connectivity, allowing you to go through your files from any PC screen. The Network function allows you to browse the video file in your PC, NAS which is in your room and play it on TV in the living room. Pretty awesome device.

Panasonic Japan announced a video-conferencing system dubbed the KX-VC500. It will allow you to use HD-quality screens for communicating. It’s pretty interesting and takes the video conference to a new level. Connections will be made over the web and allow for HD-quality video going both ways.

It doesn’t come with a microphone and a camera however, so you’ll have to use an HD camera of your own choosing. You can use the unit with any HD screen and it has an RGB interface and two HDMI ports. A remote control is included.

LaCie just updated their LaCinema HD media streamer lineup with the new Play and Record models. The former can playback media while the latter can also function as an HD DVR. Both are wireless and can stream 1080p media from the network to your TV and upscale standard def movies to 1080i.

They come with either 500GB or 1TB of internal storage. The Record has added DVR capability for anyone looking to get rid of the set top box entirely. Looks like prices will start at $430.

Hong Kong gadgeteer Brando can sometimes score a rare hit. We offer this SATA HDD Multi-Media Player Adapter as proof. This small adapter lets you plug in any SATA hard disk, SDHC card, or external USB drive, and play back its media with no computer anywhere. How sweet is that?

You have to wonder about the interface presented to you when you plug it into your TV via HDMI, component, or composite inputs. But even if it’s horrible, you’ll be able to view all kinds of audio and video formats on your TV, including MPEG-4, DivX, and AVI, without a PC anywhere nearby. That’s pretty convenient.

Those living in the UK will be able to get the Samsung i8910 HD, aka the Omnia HD. The Symbian S60-powered device is a reasonable £97.50 on a £35 monthly plan.

That sounds like a bargain since some features include: a 3.7″ capacitive touchscreen at 640 x 360 resolution display, an 8-megapixel camera and a modified TouchWiz 3D implementation that works in the S60 environment. That’s some good value for money. We don’t often get such good value in the states.

To go along with their new TV racks, Sharp has a new range of Aquos full HD LCD TVs. 10 models in all, ranging from 32″ to 52″ that will fit any budget.

Some specs include: Full HD resolution (1,920 x 1,080), 15,000:1contrast ratio, 176° viewing angle, Clear Double Speed function, Active Conditioner for automatic contrast adjustment, Auto volume function, 10w x 2 speakers, Three HDMI inputs.

It’s been a while since Epson launched an HTIB. About two years. So it’s about time for this. Today, they intro’d their next-generation Ensemble HD Home Cinema. It’s updated to include the PowerLite Home Cinema 6100 or Home Cinema 6500 UB.

Both will include a motorized 100-inch screen, surround sound, an AV controller with built-in DVD player, universal remote and nearly all components needed to install. What’s interesting is that there is no Blu-ray player, which is a no brainer. What were they thinking?
