We’ve just updated our Canon G10 Initial Test to Review status. Canon keeps refining their enthusiast flagship PowerShot digital camera, and the latest result is the very high quality Canon G10. With a rangefinder-like build and noticeable heft, the Canon G10 isn’t just any point-and-shoot digital camera. Its 14.7-megapixel sensor is matched to a relatively [...]

Oh, bollocks! If one particular spokesman who opened up to ZDnet today is accurate, Philips’ totally sweet 56-inch Cinema 21:9 HDTV won’t ever be sold on American soil. Quite frankly, we’re wondering what’s up with Philips and its apparent disdain for the US market. It farmed out its Blu-ray / DVD and TV operations in [...]

We had a chance to get our grubby mitts on Verizon’s new VOIP / home phone — the Hub — and we thought we’d give you a little preview of what’s in store if you’re planning on busting out the credit card. The device, which we’ve seen floating around in various forms since January of [...]

In an interview with FierceWireless, T-Mobile USA’s senior VP of engineering and operations (and newly-minted chairman of 3G Americas’ board) Neville Ray has slipped a couple juicy morsels in the process of talking up his carrier’s ongoing 3G rollout. Besides mentioning that T-Mobile wants to double its 3G footprint in 2009, Ray says that “we [...]

Man, we can’t get enough Peter Skillman — check out this 25-minute Pre hands-on demo Palm’s VP of design did at CES. Sure, there’s some overlap with what we saw Matias Duarte demo during the announcement and the shorter Skillman video we saw yesterday, but there’s also some stuff that slipped under the radar — [...]

Just Posted: Our full review of the Pentax K2000 (or K-m to the Europeans amongst us). Pentax’s latest baby DSLR enters the ring with much of the K200D’s capability slimmed down into an even smaller, lighter, more use-friendly format.

You may have heard about that absolutely giant (1,474 megapixel) photo taken of the Inauguration using a Canon G10 and a GigaPan Imager. Well, today the company’s launched the GigaPan Epic for commercial sale. It works with most point-and-shoots, and composes a single photograph from many (the inaugural photo was 220) shots.
