GorillaPod Magnetic – Guess What’s New?

by Jay Garrett on February 18, 2010

Everybody’s favourite go-anywhere tripod, the GorillaPod, has just gotten even more versatile!

The bendy tripod has now got magnetic feet meaning that no metallic surface is safe from being mounted by a camera – so to speak.

GorillaPod Magnetic is still the same posable marvel that we all know and love from the ankles up; but should you require a shot taken from the fridge door, from the roof of your car or in a pole-dancing club like the one in the pic seems to be – GorillaPod Magnetic is the one to get.

Although it’s still not as cute as DigiDude.

Expect it out around April :)

Sony Ericsson Vivaz HD Recording Camera Phone Release Date Outed

by Jay Garrett on February 9, 2010

More phone news – well, the Mobile Word Congress aint far off is it? ;)

It appears that Sony Ericsson’s latest lovely, the Vivaz, has cropped up on Vodafone’s website with a UK launch date.

The new 8.1MP camera phone will be available on Vodafone from March with prices still under wraps but you can register for updates if you’re keen to get it on with the shiny Symbian touchscreen blower.

So what do you get other than the scaled down (well, compared to the Satio) 8.1 megapixel autofocus snapper? How’s about HSDPA and Wi-Fi for fast surfing, and GPS as well as HD video recording?

Other appealing goodies include FM radio, TV-out at VGA resolution.

The Vivaz will also be sold in four colour pallets astronomically named: Moon Silver, Cosmic Black, Galaxy Blur and Venus Ruby.

The Satio is now showing as being sold out – so are you going to be signing up for a Vivaz?

Leica isn’t renowned for its flashy eye-catching colours.
Quality cameras, yes – garish colour schemes, no.
That seems to have all changed in honour of the 60th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China.
Just check out the 24 carat gold-plated snapper that’s limited to a run of 60.
Each of these golden wonders will be hallmarked with a [...]

I loved the Panasonic G1 and it proved itself to be idiot proof as I almost won a competition with it when I had one to review.
Now it seems that Panasonic has checked out the Olympus E-P1 and thought retro is where it’s at.
Say hello to the Panasonic GF1.
So, what’s the difference ‘tween the G1 [...]
