Sony HandyCam 60GB Hard Drive Digital Camcorder Review
Sony HandyCam 60GB Hard Drive Digital Camcorder Review
With the latest in visual recording technologies, this Sony HandyCam 60GB Hard Drive Digital Camcorder, Model: DCR SR47/L will capture your home movies in true high definition images and with an internal hard drive, transferring your movies is a snap. While this is an advanced digital camcorder, the features within this Sony HandyCam have been developed so that even novice camera users will be able to accurately use this device. The average price for this Sony HandyCam Digital Camcorder is $400 and it can be purchased online as well as through any major electronics retail store. Product Rating:
Overall Rating: 3.5/5 Stars
To start off, this unique Sony HandyCam Digital Camcorder will offer you one of the easiest ways to store all of your videos and pictures. Instead of using external drives, such as a memory card or a DVD, this Sony HandyCam utilizes an internal hard drive to store all of your videos. The hard drive features a storage capacity of 60GB, which is enough to hold a day's worth of video and uploading is extremely easy through the USB 2.0 interface.
You will also have the ability to store all of your digital videos and still images directly onto a Memory Stick Duo/PRO Duo Memory Card. I suggest putting a memory card into the camera and then use it as a backup storage option.
With the Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar Lens, you will be able to enjoy crystal clear images. I noticed that with this digital camcorder, all video has a lifelike fluidity that can only come from having an excellent lens system.
Another feature that this unique Sony HandyCam Digital Camcorder will offer you is the Super SteadyShot Image Stabilization Technology. This unique system will dramatically reduce image vibration and shake from shooting on a unsteady surface. When you use the 60x optical zoom or 2000x digital zoom, you will really notice how the image stabilization system keeps the image as smooth and still as possible.
In order to view what you're filming in proper formatting, this Sony HandyCam has been outfitted with a 2.7 inch LCD monitor, which will allow you to easily watch the action as you're filming it. With a display this large, it will be very easy to review your video and show it off to your friends and family before you upload it into the computer.
Lastly, you will enjoy a long battery life due to the Lithium Ion Battery. This batter is able to be quickly recharged, making this the ideal digital camcorder to take with you on vacation. View profile

My Favorites For The Year
My Favorites For The Year
Best VCR For The MoneyThe VCR is as common as the light bulb in many households these days, but with the advent of Satellite and HDTV, the need for an affordable VCR to record a higher quality image is needed. JVC has answered the call with the HRS 3600U.
As well as being a full featured HIFI Stereo VCR, this unit has the ability to record at SVHS Quality (400lines) on regular VHS tape. Not only that, but with a street price of around $250 ($319.95 MSRP), this unit is quite affordable.
If you need to upgrade your VCR to meet the demands of your Home Theater System, this is one unit to seriously consider. Although all MiniDV camcorders can take digital still photos, the resolution is fairly limited to 640x480.
SONY addresses the issue by introducing the PC 100, the first Megapixel Camcorder. As a result, this unit can not only shoot excellent 500 line video, but can capture a still image (using SONY's Memory Stick Technology) with a resoluion of 1152x864, bringing it in line with many mid range digital still cameras.
Although the price seems a little steep at $1999, its better than having to buy and carry around two separate cameras. This unit is well worth checking out. If you are at all interested in a MiniDV Camcorder, I would give this unit serious consideration.
Best Home Theater Audio ProductHome Theater is becoming very popular these days and the number of households taking advantage of this experience is quite extensive, but not all of us have the budget or the room for a bunch of large speakers and expensive amplifiers to obtain the "true" Home Theater experience.
As a result a whole new audio product category has taken foothold in the marketplace to bring the Home Theater experience to those on a budget The Home Theater In A Box.
As with all electronic products however, there are cheap units that don't perform and expensive units that perform, but may not be a good value. Some offer both modest cost and both good performance and value. In my opinion, the Kenwood HTB 502 fills the bill. This system consists of a fairly powerful Dolby Digital/DTS Receiver and Speakers for around $600. Even though the speakers supplied are not "audiophile" quality, they hold up well in a modest Home Theater setup and thus, provide a good value.
For an excellent review of this product, check out the following review by Home Theater Magazine.
Best Digital CameraFor the past two years SONY has dominated the digtial camera market with its Mavica floppy disk cameras. the floppy disk is very convenient for many users because of its simplicity, however, this strength is also a big weakness, because Floppy disks cannot hold high resolution images.
Panasonic to the Rescue! Not only has Panasonic released its own Floppy Disk Digital camera to go head to head with SONY, but has added the capacity to accept the 120MB Superdisk as well, thus enabling the camera to take a large quantity of High Resolution pictures without having to carry a large number of disks.
If you don't have a Superdisk drive in your computer, don't worry, this unit also has USB support. This unit also features both PC and MAC compatability.
Yes, there are better Digital Cameras available in terms of resolution and optics, but since Panasonic was able to take SONY's concept of convenience one step further, they get my vote for the best value in a Digital Still Camera this year.

7 Weirdest Android Devices of 2011
7 Weirdest Android Devices of 2011
TAG Hauer LINKTAG Hauer is a premier watch company famous for making some very tough sports analog watches. So why did they started making Android phones? MSRP is. $4700 USD.
For that hefty price tag, you can choose from 3 different kinds of metal covers (titanium, rose gold, or steel), 3 types of cover (alligator, calfskin, or lizard). and an outdated Android phone with merely 256MB of RAM, (probably sub 1GHz CPU) and 5 MP back camera. (In other words, it's like the ORIGINAL Motorola Droid, albeit guzzied up).
Porsche Design P 9530The P 9530 is a design prototype by Andre Silva, NOT a real phone. However, Porsche Design have marketed two phones before, and there's little reason they can't build this one.
This one features aluminum uni body (single piece) and VERY sleek yet industrial tough design. The prototype spec says 3D camera, but I doubt if they build it it'll actually have that. Still, a very interesting design, if a bit on the plain side. Fujitsu is making one as well, but this is a really weird part. It feature two separate screens, but BOTH can be rotated to either portrait or landscape modes. When both are portrait, it resembles a flip phone. When both are landscape, it resembles a small tablet (albeit there's a huge gap where the hinge is). it is the hybrid modes (when one or the other screen is landscape but the other is portrait) that really makes the device. WEIRD.
It is hard to describe, so go to UnWiredView and check out the pix they got.
HTC Status: the Facebook PhoneDo you need a phone dedicated to Facebook updates? Apparently, some people do need such a device. Thus, the HTC Status. Formerly known as the Chacha, and rumored to be developed by Facebook itself (later denied), the phone has a Blackberry / Palm Treo form factor with full keyboard, and a very prominent Facebook button.
Yes, it is an Android phone, running Android 2.3.
Not so good parts: it has a TINY screen, and a relatively slow CPU.
If you need to do mostly Facebook and only occasionally other Android apps, this may not be a bad idea. However, keep in mind it is exclusive to AT in the US thus far.
Check out the HTC Status on Facebook
Lenovo LePhoneLenovo is best known as the Chinese company that bought out IBM's PC and laptop business, though it is a huge electronics maker in its own right. When it decided it wants to join in the Android phone market back in 2010, the phone was VERY interesting. at least visually. A sleek rounded exterior and some VERY customized Android interface. plus this "keyboard" with a VERY weird circular design, that is also a carrying case (with battery) that turns phone into a palmtop.
The specs are no slouch even a year after its release: 3.7 inch 800x480 screen, 1 GHz CPU, 3 MP back camera and VGA front camera.
Unfortunately, it seems that the phone's too Chinese to be exported to US market. You can find it on eBay, but no carrier in the US sells it.

Rotating Items in Roller Coaster Tycoon 3
Rotating Items in Roller Coaster Tycoon 3
Roller Coaster Tycoon 3, the third installment in the popular "Roller Coaster Tycoon" gaming franchise, offers detailed graphics, 3 D rides and more coasters, rides, shops and other options than the previous games. This theme park simulation game operates on the same premise as the other games: create your own theme park, attract guests and try to turn a profit. Rotating objects and maps in "Roller Coaster Tycoon 3" is a simple task, but unfortunately, it isn't very intuitive. Rotating in Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 is a necessary operational task when playing the game; players need to know how to do this in order to see all areas of the park, as well as properly design the park.
To rotate the aerial map in Roller Coaster Tycoon 3.
First, load the game by double clicking on the Roller Coaster Tycoon icon. When the game loads, select "Load Game" or click "Select New Game" to start a fresh game. Once your game loads, simultaneously hold down your left and right mouse buttons. You will see the map start to move on your screen clockwise. When the map reaches the point at which you'd like the map, release both of the mouse buttons. Repeat this procedure when you want to rotate the map again.
To rotate buildings and rides in Roller Coaster Tycoon 3.
Using the mouse, click on the object you wish to rotate. You may rotate park buildings, such as shops, rides or roller coaster parts. After clicking on the item, you'll see a red arrow icon hovering above the building or ride. Click until the item reaches the desired position. When finished, press the green check mark to save the ride or shop to its new position.
What if you don't have a mouse?

Will We Really See the iPhone 5 in March 2011
Will We Really See the iPhone 5 in March 2011
We all know how fast and furious rumors can spread, especially when it comes to the mobile device industry. Anyway, the latest buzz is that the iPhone 5 may enter the markets as early as March 2011.
It is rumored that Apple would be making this move fearing the latest hot competition from Android. There are also some whispers about this iPhone being a CDMA and going to Verizon's network.
It is also believed that the iPhone 5 will have a different form factor, so that it does not have to go through the same antenna issues faced by the iPhone 4.
We had already heard that a Verizon iPhone would be released in February or March next year. Now, is this going to be the same iPhone 5 or will it be a different smartphone? What do you people think?

Advantages Disadvantages of Simulation Games
Advantages Disadvantages of Simulation Games
Simulation games replicate elements of a more difficult situation, allowing players to study and enjoy the replicated elements. While players would require years of training and education to experience the real situations physically, the simplified version is something they can experience and enjoy. For instance, a flight simulation game allows players to enjoy the experience of flying a plane, seeing the scenery of the world passing by, working controls similar to those in a real aircraft and facing some of the mock challenges built into the system, without spending years earning a pilot license.
The simulation game environment can provide action, adventure and substantive information on a wide array of environments, but it fails to provide an accurate emotional or intuitive account of these situations. As an example, recreating a historical war scenario can allow players to visualize important battles from history, but those players can never understand the emotional impact of the soldiers on the field or gain an intuitive understanding of the reality of the battle. Players are left inevitably behind a cognitive barrier reminding them that if they fail, they can play the scenario again, when the reality of the historic war was much more severe.
In order to provide an enjoyable and exciting simulation game, some elements are removed from the scenarios to avoid boredom or overcomplication. By removing these elements, players avoid facing some of the harsh realities of the scenarios, thereby gaining a less realistic account of the situation. For instance, in the historic war simulation, players avoid the feeling of spending days marching to the war, rationing supplies and developing friendships with other soldiers. The result is an inauthentic experience, leaving players with a less realistic vision of the actual scenario.

There are lots of simulation games out there. Kids may hear about a game from other kids and ask for it. Parents, be sure to check the rating on the game and read reviews to understand the content. The simulation games listed are good for older kids (about 10 to 12), although many (if not most) of the games listed adults and teens will enjoy. I certainly do!

Home Is Where The Mobile Game Is
Home Is Where The Mobile Game Is
The magic of mobile games is that they can be played anywhere, but it turns out that quite a lot of us are more than happy to play them when not on the move, according to a new survey from mobile entertainment portal MocoSpace. consumers, the company found that 96 percent of them said that they play mobile games at home at least once a day, and among those, 53 percent said they played them in bed with more than 52 percent playing for over one hour per day and 32 percent playing for more than three hours per day.
The findings reinforce data out released earlier this week on mobile gaming from mobile content company Miniclip, which found that 44 percent of people surveyed for the report said that they mostly played mobile games at home. And MocoSpace notes, too, that EA Mobile has also found that mobile games are played at home 47 percent of the time.
But before you go thinking that this is a sign that mobile gaming isn so mobile after all, it turns out that MocoSpace survey revealed a number of other locations that received similarly high (but not as high) responses: 83 percent said they played mobile games while waiting for an appointment and 72 percent while commuting.
A lot also seem to play them when they should be doing something else: work and with friends both picked up 64 percent of mobile game play; and 46 percent said they played while in class. Some 10 percent of respondents said they played at work for over an hour every day.
While bed was the most popular location for playing a mobile game at home, 41 percent said living room. (Bathrooms, it turns out, are not very popular for mobile games: only five percent said they played there; ditto the dining table at one percent.)
And in keeping with the runaway success of Draw Something, social games scored as the most popular in mobile, with 62 percent opting for these over action, puzzle or gambling games.
What to make of these results? A lot of the most popular mobile games up to now have been casual games and those that can be played in short bursts like Draw Something but also Angry Birds and the rest.
But if most of the gaming is taking place over at least an hour of time, and in stationary (sometimes very stationary) locations, there is probably scope for the development of more timebased and involved games, the kind that have been traditionally associated with gaming consoles and fill that niche in the market.
