Toshiba brings lower prices on their HD DVD to Spain

At the end it has become official and the lowering of prices of Toshiba HD DVD players in the U.S. has reached our country.

The two players the company, EP30 and EP35 have reduced by about 100 euros each price for the first placed in less than 200 euros and in the barrier of the 300 most advanced model, the Toshiba HD-EP35.

Together with the lowering of prices, Toshiba has sought to draw chest of data players sold in Europe in 2007, a figure which amounts to 200,000 players. In addition, challenging the data that gave Sony the other day, Toshiba says that Spain has a market share of 60%, so we do not square data from any of the two companies. It seems logical to think that the Toshiba calculated without taking into account the Playstation 3 console while Sony believes its video game console player completely valid for entry into the statistics. In fact is the best market for Blu-Ray for the future.

Precisely Sony has a new promotion for its players BDP-S300 and S500 in Spain, whereby the person who buys a player before March 31 will take to enjoy the trilogies Spiderman and Pirates of the Caribbean.

Toshiba G450, gadget for everything

Toshiba G450, gadget for everything

What exactly is the gadget that you have photographed on these lines? It is difficult to define, so we did not want to assign the title in any specific application. We could have said that it is a mobile phone or an MP3 player or even a modem HSDPA.

The Toshiba G450 is primarily a USB modem that gives us 3G/HSDPA connectivity, but it also allows us time to make calls and send text messages. Strange, it is true.

The dial call this divided into two circles, which is not very comfortable but it seems enough to use it sporadically as a phone. The screen will not help much, because it is a type of OLED 96 x 39 pixels.

There are two curious gadgets that we bring into this afternoon of Saturday, those who do not usually assert much, but perhaps you seem interesting to someone.

In one case, Javier seemed rather silly one speaker for the Shuffle, and here we bring another model of a different manufacturer if any of you seemed useful.

The Blu-Ray format increasingly strengthened

The Blu-Ray format increasingly strengthened

Giving the impression that you are the winner, that what you think and not hesitate to offer convincing data is a key to the war of formats. For example Toshiba decaída and saw him win without war when in the back, without warning, Warner was going exclusively with people of Blu-Ray. Admitted in a press conference that did not expect the news, which was a hard stick to them and that would come out ahead.

But the reality is that Microsoft is not committed as much as perhaps should have done, even rumors emerged that they were thinking about switching to Blu-Ray. It was finally cancelled the presentation that they intend to do in the ESC 2008.

Toshiba reaccinó lowering the price of their players, leaving them at a level very attractive, but the news coming one day after another are not very good for their format. Sony, betting very strong by the Blu-Ray in its Playstation 3 console, has made a game master in that sense, despite the fact that, if we recall, his first problem with this console, in terms of price and delay, were motivated by the incorporation of high definition player. It had avoided problems have not integrated, but now we see that its bid was strong, resolute and are therefore hold events, very successful.

Creative Vado Pocket Video Cam

Creative Vado Pocket Video Cam

From Ford’s Creative Pocket Video Cam and we finally have the official data, together with all its features. Had already seen, but were not official data.

The Creative Vado Pocket Video Cam fits, as we have said on other occasions, in a range of video cameras with a very clear mission: record video with ease and move that content to your computer and then to the Internet is child’s play . Or at least that is not as complicated as it is sometimes working with AVCHD formats such as cameras or high definition.

The video of the Creative can get by $ 100. Get a video compact and weighing just 86 grams, we can always take it over.

The battery, fundamental aspect gives to burn for just over two hours for something so compact that is not bad. It does so in an internal memory of 2 GB, which gives us for about an hour of video. If we increase the recording time, we must lower the resolution and get another extra hour.

As you may have imagined the resolution of the camera is not the best market let alone, but for many is more than enough. With 640×480 pixels we can upload the video to the Internet and even watch it on traditional televisions. The format in which AVI is recorded at 30 fps. It is an interesting option if we do not have compact camera, because the current record higher quality video with this camcorder Creative.

But the specifications do not stay here, but they also have a 2-inch screen and a digital zoom insignificant 2 increases.

Samsung HMX20C Review

Posted on May 17th, 2008

Samsung HMX20C

When was the Samsung HMX20C at CES, we only look at their capacities as a video camera recording in high definition to 1080p.


But this camera might be a good competition for the Casio Exilim EX-Pro F1. It falls short of the 1200 frames per second of this, but he remains in some more reasonable than 300 frames per second.

Its resolution as camera is 6 megapixels and has a way ISO 3200, to take pictures with low light. It has 8 GB of internal memory that can be expanded through MMC and SD cards or have connections to view the result directly on the TV.
Samsung HMX20C Review
The main difference between them is their form, which in the case of the Samsung is HMX20C video camera, while the model is Casio camera, although the benefits are quite similar in both cases.

The price of this camera that, for now, has been put up for sale in Korea, is about 560 euros a change.

Creative Vado, recording at low prices

Creative Vado, recording at low prices

Although he saw much sense not to Flip Video Ultra, a low resolution and its benefits, a very tight and a great ease of use have made, at least in the United States, use of a massively.

Because of this, other manufacturers have similar models, such as Creative Vado, a camera that is presented with a performance virtually identical to those of the Flip. We speak of a 2-inch screen, video capture to resolution 640 x 480 pixels, up to 2 hours recording (twice the Flip) at its 2 GB of capacity and software to upload video directly to YouTube.

It connects to the computer via the USB port and also has a TV output, all in a weight of less than 100 grams.

And is that not everyone needs a high-performance video camera and, often, as adjusted prices of these models make them fairly attractive if we do not want to get a professional result but something fast and fun to record our videos.

Incidentally, the photograph depicting the entry is not the Creative Vado, but the Flip, but it is more than likely that Creative is quite similar in their design.
