The camera is quite compact–it’s just .9 inches thick. Nikon sent us a few images of the inside of the camera, so you can see how it was able to pack the projector into such a small space. See more images after the jump; and for more details on the Nikon Coolpix S1000pj and the other new Nikon cameras, check out the full story on PC MAG.

Toshiba announced Tuesday that it will offer a 64 GB SDXC memory card that it claims can beat its rivals in terms of speed of data transfer for reading and writing to the card.
The new cards can offer a maximum write speed of 35 MB per second and read speed of 60 MB per second.
The combination of large storage capacities and increased data transfer rates should help meet the needs of consumer electronics devices such as digital cameras and camcorders that require high bandwidth data communication, said Toshiba.
For example, digital SLR cameras will be able to shoot longer continuous bursts in the highest quality RAW format, with the new cards, said the company and it will also be possible to download a 2.4 GB video in 70 seconds.
At the Consumer Electronics Show this year, the SD association announced the SDXC or the Secure Digital Extended Capacity format. The new standard applies to cards with capacities more than 32 GB and up to 2 TB, compared to the SDHC standard, which applies to cards with capacities greater than 2 GB and up to 32 GB. The maximum data transfer rate for SDHC cards is 104 MB/s, with plans to increase it to 300 MB/s.
No word yet on pricing for these cards. Samples of the card will be able in November and it is likely to reach consumers early next year.

We’re knee-deep in the summer news cycle, which means that the big stories are few and far between. It also means that it’s time for our favorite perennial tech rumors to start bubbling up again. Like, say, the long-rumored Apple Tablet, which has since become lovingly known as “the iPad.”
We don’t know a lot about the device, of course. In fact, we don’t actually whether it’s actually really a device at all. We’ve heard tell that it’ll have a 10-inch touchscreen, and some speculation about pricing, which has been wildly varied. So we figured, why wait for Apple to let us in on the details? That could take forever.
Let’s design on our own device. What would it take to put one of these devices in your hands, come October? Pricing, features, size, whatever. We want to know.

Notebook users, Logitech has just announced a handy way for you to cut the cords and use full size keyboards and mice. The Logitech Unifying Receiver improves on an existing design and lets you connect up to six compatible wireless peripherals to your notebook. The USB receiver sticks out only 8mm, so you can leave it in while you travel. Pair it with a keyboard and mouse at home and with another set at work.
The Unifying Receiver works with a 2.4GHz wireless connection. So far the company has announced three compatible mice and two compatible keyboards, and I’m sure that will grow. You can see the lineup here. To know if a Logitech peripheral is compatible, look for the orange Unifying logo on the box.
Free software from Logitech lets you connect new Unifying products as you get them. Once they’re connected, they’ll automatically work with your laptop when it’s in range. Unifying products are currently available for preorder from Logitech, and will ship this month and next.
(Credit: Gamespot)A heated discussion over which supernatural species is superior (zombies or vampires) leads us into a truly geeky episode of The 404. To help settle the controversy, we have on today’s show CNET’s own Scott Stein.
Also on today’s show, we solve the mystery behind yesterday’s Gawker DDoS attacks that flooded the blog network. It wasn’t us, we swear. Next, we analyze a disturbing trend of Obama Joker posters popping up in California and whether or not they’re making a statement or are just confusing.
We’ll also find out if you can actually sue Amazon for losing your homework and whether or not a new Resident Evil movie is a good idea. All this, plus a special call from Jason Howell and some submissions for Justin Yu’s new glasses!
…And to our Japanese astronaut friend, we’re not sure deep space is the ideal venue to test out everlasting underwear.

Well, wouldn’t you know it? Those off the wall concepts of what appeared to be a next-generation USB-driven Mimo monitor seem to have found their way into the production line, as the outfit made suddenly famous for its secondary displays now has a new model on tap. The 710-S “Mobile Slider” edition is really just a tweaked version of the aforementioned 7-inch panel, but it has been completely redesigned into a “sleeker, foldable and more portable unit.” We hadn’t really given much thought to bringing one of these things along in a laptop case, but this critter just might change our opinion on the usefulness to road warriors. Hit the read link to get in line; you’ll have the opportunity to part with $149.99 in exchange for one later this month.

Up until now, Bell’s been coy about an exact availability date for the Palm Pre — a tactic borrowed from Sprint prior to its release — so we’re happy to hear that they’ve finally decided on August 27 to get it out of the door. It’ll run CAD $199.95 (about $187) on a three-year deal, ramping all the way up to $599.95 contract-free with a minimum 500MB / month data plan (trust us, you’ll want every megabyte of it). Preorders are now being accepted online and in Bell stores, so if you want it on day one, you might want to get moving on that.
