Motorola's already made some moves in advance of the big Mobile World Congress going down in Barcelona next week, but it looks like the company still has plenty more up its sleeve, with it now announcing a new Wave 2-ready WiMAX PC Card, along with a desktop unit for those less concerned with mobility. Likely of primary interest to most, the PCCw 200 PC card supports both 2.5GHz and 3.5GHz to keep you connected 'round the globe, and is of course fully compliant with the IEEE 802.16e-2005 standard. The desktop-bound CPEi 750 (pictured after the break), on the other hand, is available in your choice of 2.5GHz or 3.5GHz configurations, and includes two VoIP/ATA ports to accommodate your various devices. No word on a price for either one just yet, but you can expect the PC card to hit sometime in the second quarter of this year, with the desktop unit slated for "mid-2008."

These two new DSLR's from Pentax have HDR capabilities built in. This allows everyday photographers to enhance their photos with HDR. All they have to do is select HDR through the menu dial, set the camera up for the shot, press the shutter button and away it goes. First it takes the correctly exposed photo, it then takes an over-exposed and under-exposed shot and then merges all three together to create the HDR image.
IBM has successfully miniaturized the Cell processor that you know from Sony's PlayStation 3. Formerly built upon the 65nm scale, the new version will be based on the 45nm high-k process. What's this mean? Money, power and heat savings for Sony. And maybe a smaller or cheaper PS3 for you. 
Just like 
We have a winner. This Cloverfield-sized mirror lens by Canon doesn't do zooming action, it's a flat 5200mm, which can shoot stuff 18 to 32 miles away. That's like from one end of Rosie O' Donnell's ass to the other. To focus this baby, it has telescopes bolted to the side. And yeah, that little floating square is the camera. If you know of bigger and better—that isn't actually a telescope, please

Recording VGA-quality movies is nothing new, but DivX and LG just announced that the LG Viewty smartphone can now record VGA-quality movies at 120 frames per second with what looks like a software update (new ones will ship with it pre-loaded). Best of all, it records in the DivX format, which means you can watch it back on all kinds of DivX devices (your computer, various 
Modu's tiny cellphone could be inserted into multiple "jackets" to change its function. Or better said, the Modu phone carries your data, giving your personality to whatever gadget you insert it into, GameBoy cartridge style. After seeing all the pictures of the different jackets and the announced prices, the video and the idea makes a lot more sense now.
One obvious way to speed up continuous shooting bursts on DSLRs is to drop the image format down to JPEG, which takes less processing power to deal with than RAW. But, since JPEGs are compressed, you lose a lot of info, which doesn't cut it for a lot of photo folk. Canon and Casio think Microsoft's JPEG XR (
This Coco Chanel phone has a leg up on other fashion phones by being an actually unique and new design, but takes a blow by being a mere concept based around technology that may or may not have been made up for the purpose of justifying a neat-looking Photoshop. Let's see if any of you can tell me how much sense the explanation of the technology is:
