Hercules Dualpix HD720p webcam for Internet trolls on the go

You've been posting your angry rants on the YouTubes for a while now, and quite frankly your act is getting old. You know what you need, right? A spec bump. How about replacing that built-in pinhole netbook webcam with this spicy number from Hercules? The Dualpix HD720p is (you guessed it) an HD-capable USB 2.0 webcam that supports up to 16:9 (1280 x 720) 30 fps and includes: autofocus, a "high quality" integrated mic, and software for XP / Vista / Windows 7. Not too shabby for something at the $59.99 price point. And after you get this guy rocking, maybe people will start to take your anti-fluoridation crusade a little more seriously. Because we're sure that the only thing that's getting you mocked on the social networking sites is the quality of your videos -- and not the inherent lunacy of your message. One more pic after the break.

3M debuts MPro 120 pocket projector and awesome ad simultaneously

As you may already be aware, we're part of an elite minority who are generally smitten with pocket projectors. Sure, they haven't found their niche of "usefulness" with the wider world, but that doesn't stop them from being cool to us. 3M's just debuted a new one -- the MPro 120 -- a follow-up to the MPro 110. The MPro 120 projects 12 lumens of brightness (with VGA resolution), a 4:3 aspect ratio, and up to 4 hours of battery life. The MPro is currently pre-ordering for a September 10th delivery in the UK, for £260 (about $423). No word on availability in the US, but we are extremely fond of the projector's rather insane ad, which is after the break.

Creative Zii EGG orders shipped, hands-on videos posted

It looks like somebody's Zii EGG orders have shipped, and we got the video to prove it. A staff member named DaHarder over at the DAP Review forums has just received one of the lusted-after devices, and luckily for us he's given it the ol' hands-on treatment and posted the evidence for our perusal. "The screen," he says, compares "very favorably" with the S Series Walkman, with colors described as bright and vibrant, even if the blacks leave something to be desired. And how about sound? He rates it as being "the best sounding Creative player" he's heard yet, "and that's without any EQ/Z-Fi etc." Not too shabby for a development model, eh? But that ain't all -- peep the videos after the break, and then hit the read link to jump in on the conversation your own self.

1080p Android demo'd, set-top boxes prepare for a new master

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/1080p-android-demod-set-top-boxes-prepare-for-a-new-master/


It is done. MIPS Technologies has demonstrated its enhanced implementation of Android running in 1080p via extended libraries to support hardware graphics acceleration and decoding on Sigma Designs hardware, a portent of set-top boxes yet to come. Of course, without any video or pictures or video of the blessed event (ISB Corp's previous OMAP based effort is pictured above) it's hard to tell why Android coming to TV is such a great idea, if its cousin widgets are any indication, there's a chance of being high on pre-release hype but low on desirability once it reaches the market. Still, the Open Embedded Software Foundation pledges to continue on shoehorning Android into devices beyond the mobile handset, but if it's shut down by a band of torch wielding villagers demanding the monster be put down, don't say we didn't warn you.
