admin — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 17:58:53 +0000

Consumer Reports stated on Monday that they won't recommend Apple's iPhone 4 (warning consumers about the problems with reception). Here's another touchscreen smartphone to consider — the Samsung Wave S8500. It's the first phone to use the bada ("bah-dah") operating system, which is made by Samsung. And it's finally available in Canada. (Side note: Bada means ocean in Korean.)

The S8500 includes a 3.3" 16M-color Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen with 480 x 800 pixels resolution and scratch-resistant glass surface. The AMOLED screen technology provides user with better outdoor visibility (ie: reduces the sun glare), offers higher picture clarity and at the same time reduces power consumption. This smartphone offers a 5 megapixel camera, HP Video (720p) for playing and recording. Other features include: video calling, built-in Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth3.0, and a microSD slot for up to 32GB of additional storage.

admin — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 16:55:57 +0000

The Kodak Playsport is not afraid to get wet, in fact it likes to be taken underwater. This hand-held camcorder can plunge up to 3m underwater and capture everything in full 1080p HP. The Playsport has a built-in image stabilization - to prevent the image from getting blurry or shaky - so take it while you surf or ski. The rugged exterior says 'if you drop me, don't worry - I won't break' as it's covered with a hard, glossy plastic. The camera is ergonomically easy to hold in hand.

The Playsport also takes still photos at 5 megapixels, 16:9 widescreen HD. Plus, you can share you footage on Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter, as it has a built-in software and USB cable to make editing, uploading, and sending e-mails super easy.

The Kodak Playsport is available on Kodak.ca for $159.99.
