Hasta La Gadget!

AMD’s Fusion APU has had its coming out party here at CES, and already companies are champing at the bit to offer updated systems with the E-350 embedded within. Zotac’s offering up a revised version of its Zbox HTPC this week, with the AD03 boasting an all-too-familiar exterior, a slot-loading Blu-ray drive and the aforesaid 1.6GHz E-350 APU. There’s also an AMD Radeon HD 6310 GPU, a pair of DDR3-1066 RAM slots, room for a 2.5″ SATA 6Gbps hard drive, a USB 3.0 port, two USB 2.0 sockets, an optical audio port, HDMI / DVI outputs (a VGA adapter is included as well), Gigabit Ethernet, support for Dolby TrueHD / DTS-HD Master Audio bitstreaming, 802.11n WiFi, a 6-in-1 card reader and a bundled copy of Cyberlink’s PowerDVD software. The “Plus” version of the system actually ships with 2GB of DDR3 memory and a 250GB 5400RPM hard drive, whereas the standard version leaves it up to you to fill those voids. Mum’s the word on pricing, but we suspect it’ll be loosed on the universe soon.

When you’re traveling for a vacation and you’ve brought your camera along, you may run into the problem of where to put all of your pictures. Sure you could get another memory card, or even a bigger one, but there are other solutions out there that may be worth investing in or looking into.

– Laptop –

The most obvious solution, and perhaps the cheapest solution is to bring your laptop.  This would be the cheapest option if you already have a computer for other purposes.  Purchasing a laptop just to store photos isn’t necessary.  Of course, even if you have a laptop you may not want to have to worry about carrying it, losing it, or damaging it, etc.  This is where the other alternatives come into play.

– Sony DVDirect MC1 –

Yet another solution is the Sony DVDirect MC1 (pictured).  With this device, you’re able to record digital images with the difference being that you don’t need a computer! Additionally, with the Sony DVDirect MC1, you can connect to a PC using USB 2.0. Prices are in the $200 range which may be worth it!

–Apple iPod –

It seems that everyone is getting in on the iPod craze.  If you have an Apple iPod (video version), you can purchase an iPod camera link connector that will enable you to transfer your pictures directly to your camera.  Using an iPod is a lightweight solution for storing your images.

– SmartDisk FCD20 FotoChute 20GB Portable Digital Storage Device –

This SmartDisk FotoChute is self explanatory with 20GB of room for portable digital storage.  It’s pocket sized which makes it easy and convenient to you, and with lots of storage it provides you with the perfect way to store your photos when you’re on vacation or away from your computer for extended lengths of time.  Its’ retail price is listed as over $400.00 but you can generally find them on sale (here) for $99.00.

 Whether you’re traveling for business or for fun, there are many different types of portable storage devices available to suit your needs. These devices range from your own laptop to an Apple iPod with varying prices as well.  With any of these devices, you’ll never have to worry about running out of room for all your photos again!

Ah, the Verizon iPhone. In our bizarre careers as tech journalists, if there’s one question we’ve heard more than “When is Verizon getting the iPhone?” we can’t think of it. Also, outside the original rumors for the iPhone and iPad, we can’t think of another product so heavily teased by those in the know and those not in the know — though mostly by those not in the know.

But then we heard Verizon is having a little get together on Tuesday, which is particularly odd timing because Verizon has a huge presence and a large amount of announcements at this year’s CES. Rumors of the event being a Verizon iPhone announce immediately flared up, but there were still reservations: Apple usually announces its own products at its own corporate campus — why would Verizon be doing the honors in NY?

That’s when the Wall Street Journal swooped in with a confirmation: the Verizon iPhone will be announced on Tuesday, and WSJ’s All Things D even thinks Steve Jobs will be there. So, who is this fly-by-night “Wall Street Journal” publication we speak of? They have one of the best track track records on Apple rumors in the business, and they’ve been leading the Verizon iPhone predictions from day one. Follow after the break as we talk it out.
