Kodak rolls out new image sensors at Photokina, one for Leica's S2
Source: http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/401820531/
Filed under: Digital Cameras
We noticed that the writeup for Leica's newly unveiled S2 made mention of a new Kodak sensor, but we'll leave it to Kodak to do the boasting. Sure enough, the outfit responsible for this atrocity has rolled out a few new image sensors at Photokina 2008, one of which -- the KAF-37500 -- proudly resides in the aforementioned S2. The company is showcasing sensors for medium format rigs such as the Sinar HY6-65 (KAF-31600) and Hasselblad H3DII-50 (KAF-50100), though quite honestly, it spends more time gloating about what manufacturers it's partnering with than describing the technology. Oh well, so long as it keeps Kodak from focusing on its pathetic point-and-shoot lineup, we'll keep smiling.Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments Dell finally reveals $499 M109S SVGA pocket projector

Lenovo S10s start shipping out
Source: http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/402003563/
Filed under: Laptops
Well, it looks like anyone that ordered a Lenovo S10 netbook may be able to rest a bit easier, as at least some of 'em are now finally shipping out, making that supposed two-month delay look increasingly like a false alarm. Judging from the discussion on Slickdeals.net, it seems that both white and black models are shipping, although a few folks are also reporting that their ship date has been pushed to late October. Any movement with your order? Let us know in comments.

OpenPeak gets official with Atom-based OpenFrame IP "media phone"
Source: http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/402120846/
Filed under: Household
OpenPeak was showing off an Atom-based version of its OpenFrame touchscreen / phone combo at IDF last month, but it's only just now gotten fully official with it and, naturally, it's taken the opportunity to dish out some new, prettied-up pictures. Not much looks to have changed with the device itself in the past month or so though, with it still promising to "simplify everyday family and media interactions" and, just as importantly for OpenFrame, "drive new revenues for service providers" -- it'll handle phone calls, too. Unfortunately, while OpenFrame is still saying we can expect to see the first devices based on the platform early next year, it's apparently not yet ready (or able) to announce exactly who those OEM partners might be.

Hasselblad bringing 60-megapixel H3DII-60 in April 2009
Source: http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/402186603/
Filed under: Digital Cameras
Hasselblad's doing a fine job of pimping its mildly fresh 50-megapixel H3DII-50 at Photokina 2008, but being that we're hardly ever satisfied with the here and now, we've latched onto a few juicy tidbits flowing from the lips of CEO Christian Poulsen. Reportedly, the exec made clear at the show that a 60-megapixel version of the camera (H3DII-60) would be made available in April of 2009, and while it would demand a £4,000 ($7,393) premium over the £14,750 ($27,261) H3DII-50, that increase would pay for a sensor that provides 94% full-frame coverage. It's okay, your D40 is still bombastic in its own right.Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments T-Mobile G1 impressions: what we love, what we don't

Source: http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadget/~3/402217982/
Filed under: Digital Cameras
This enterprising EOS 40D owner wants a DSLR that records video, too -- and he's taking action. This hack uses CHDK -- the free firmware enhancement for Canon PowerShot cameras -- and LiveView to capture video to the camera's CF Card. There are still a few issues: LiveView shuts down after a period of inactivity, video can't be transfered via USB, and unlike your $79 consumer grade camera, the EOS 40D won't record audio. But what's a little challenge in the face of a good camera mod? There's no word on file format, frame rate or resolution (though the camera's display weighs in at 320 x 240), but there are lots of other juicy details available once you hit the read link. And be sure to catch the video after the break.[Via Hack A Day]

Filed under: Laptops
If you like the Eee PC 901 then you're going to love this. ASUS just announced an integrated HSUPA option for its 8.9-inch netbook. When coupled with that 7.5-hour (rated) 6-cell battery you'll have ample time to try and locate a carrier "in many destinations around the world" capable of delivering 7.2Mbps down and 2Mbps up -- ASUS doesn't say but we're sure it'll step down to older WWAN coverage as required. Available in October (just missing the September launch rumor) for an undisclosed price on undisclosed frequencies.[Thanks, Michael A,]Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

Lightning Review: The Wicked Lasers Torch Flashlight Can Burn Paper [Review]
The Price: $300
The Verdict: Simply put, the Torch flashlight is like carrying around a floodlight in your hand. It is easily the most powerful and semi-frightening flashlight I have ever seen. However, let's not kid ourselves into thinking that this a practical device. The only reason anyone should ever buy the Torch is to impress other nerds.
In order to illustrate its power, Wicked Lasers has released several videos showing the Torch burning paper, lighting matches and frying eggs. These claims are true—as you can see from my own test illustrated in the video above. But the heat this thing gives off is not all fun and games for pyromaniacs. It also severely limits the usability of the flashlight. After a few minutes of use, the Torch becomes too hot to hold in yo! ur hand. According to the user's manual, it should only be used in 3 minute intervals with at least 2 minutes of "rest" in between.
In order to illustrate its power, Wicked Lasers has 
Obviously, I can't recommend something this expensive, impractical and, quite frankly, dangerous—but if you are willing to drop $300 on a gadget that will impress your friends for a minute or two, the Torch will definitely get the job done. [Wicked Lasers]
T-Mobile Removes 1GB 3G Data Cap for G1 Android Phone [T-mobile G1]
Our goal, when the T-Mobile G1 becomes available in October, is to provide affordable, high-speed data service allowing customers to experience the full data capabilities of the device and our 3G network. At the same time, we have a responsibility to provide the best network experience for all of our customers so we reserve the right to temporarily reduce data throughput for a small fraction of our customers who have excessive or disproportionate usage that interferes with our network performance or our ability to provide quality service to all of our customers.
We removed the 1GB soft limit from our policy statement, and we are confident that T-Mobile G1 customers will enjoy the high speed of data access over our 3G network. The specific terms for our new data plans are still being reviewed and once they are final we will be certain to share this broadly with current customers and potential new customers.
