Sony ICF-CD3iP CD Clock Radio for iPod and iPhone

While it may seem somewhat anachronistic these days, Sony adds a little something to its ICF-CD3iP iPod alarm clock that most others don’t: a CD player. And this quirk just might help sell this easy but otherwise run-of-the-mill $99.99 device

Design
The small, round-faced ICF-CD3iP is about as compact as iPod docks get, at 6.3 x 5.8 x 4.6 inches. A silver, circular face surrounds the LCD display and houses four buttons for play/pause, radio band, and off/alarm reset. The face itself pulls open to pop in your favorite compact disc. A large snooze button sits behind the CD bed, with sleep and volume buttons behind that. The dual-alarm clocks can be set and the radio can be tuned using buttons on either side of its face.

A conveniently hidden iPod dock pops out from the right side of the base with just a slight push. Unfortunately, the speakers sit in the back of the system, hidden behind the clock face and CD player. This helps the device retain its small form factor, but it makes for muffled sound.

Performance
Several different generations of iPods, as well as the iPhone 3G, synced up seamlessly with the ICF-CD3iP. Setting the alarm to wake up to iPod, radio, or buzzer was a cinch, and the time set and snooze buttons are big enough for even the sleepiest of hands. It’s even iPhone 3G–compatible, so there’s no need to switch into Airplane mode to avoid the dreaded GSM buzz.

As we mentioned, the ICF-CD3iP’s speakers are positioned (annoyingly) behind the clock face. Regina Spektor’s “Fidelity” sounded decent at low volumes, but tinny and hollow as the volume was turned up, as was the case with most music played through the device. Of course, this may prove to be the best method for getting someone out of bed: listening to the subpar sound quality for long periods of time can get irritating.

Verdict
As an iPod docking station and dual-alarm clock, the Sony ICF-CD3iP performs adequately. Although it costs just $99.99, the ICF-CD3iP’s pitfalls won’t let us recommend it over the Altec Lansing Moondance Glow ($129), or the iLuv iMM173 Dual-Alarm Clock ($149), which offers an extra dock and better sound. But while the ICF-CD3iP’s speaker quality is subpar, its unobtrusive design, retro CD tray, and ease of use make for a good budget bedside companion.

Sony Digital Camera DSC-HX100V and DSC-HX9V

After being leaked just a few days ago, Sony's high-end 16.2-megapixel HX100V and HX9V cameras are now official. According to the press release, the DSC-HX100V is the first of the Cyber-shot line to include a 27mm Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonar T lens with 30x optical zoom, while its smaller compact brother, the DSC-HX9V, is also the first to sport a 24mm Sony G lens with a 16x optical zoom. That's certainly great news for lurkers or folks who like shooting from a far, especially when considering both cameras are capable of recording 1920 x 1080 60p HD video.


Their new "Exmor R" back-illuminated CMOS sensor also is the first to support a so-called Intelligent Sweep Panorama HR mode, which lets users capture up to 42.9 megapixel scenes with a whopping 10480 x 4096 resolution. Speaking of panoramas, the new camera's have also picked up the same 3D Sweep Panorama Mode, GPS, and Dual Recording functions found on other cyber shots announced back at CES. If you're dying to get your hands on that crazy zoom action, their official release is set for April with pre-sales starting in February. Price wise, the DSC-HX100V and DSC-HX9V cameras will cost about $450 and $350, respectively. For more details hit up the PR after the break or browse through the gallery below.

LG Introduced the First Digital Camera with 3G


Every electronic player want to prove in the market, The most Popular Brands are Sony, Samsung, LG, Nokia, Iphone. These are the trusted brand in the market now a days.

Now Here EveryBody in the race of No.1, Here For The First time LG introduced its new version of camera, that is Camera with 3G facility.


Called the LG L-03C, the phone-camera is due to release in Japan in January, associated with Japan's premier carrier, NTT- DoCoMo. Specifications of the device rival other equivalent compact digital cameras, 3" inch display size or screen size ,with a 12.1MP sensor, ISO range of up to 3200, a Pentax 1:3.6-55 3x optical zoom lens, Xenon flash, 720p HD video recording, GPS, and geo-tagging, as well as Wi-Fi, Blue-tooth, and 3G connectivity.

Pricing has not been revealed as yet either, but one has to wonder what LG is thinking - will it price the L-03C as expensively as the premier camera phones in the market, or will it levy a substantial premium over 12MP compact digital camera prices? The device certainly won't fit as well in the pocket as a camera-phone, and will probably be substantially heavier!

PSP 2 With OLED Screen and 3G Connectivity Arriving by End of 2011 in Japan, First official shot of PSP2

Here is First Official picture or images of PSP2 , which leaked information in the market, that sony is going to launch PSP2 in the end of year 2011 in japan first.




Not content with seeing rival Nintendo steal thunder with its recently unveiled 3DS handheld (launch coverage, info, games) that boasts two 3D displays that needn't special glasses, Sony is apparently slated to announce the PSP 2 this week, a highly anticipated successor to the PSP, the company's six years old handheld that sold 62 million units worldwide as of September of last year.

This piece of information came from a credible source, Japanese newspaper The Nikkei, which wrote on Monday the Japanese consumer electronics powerhouse would hold a media event this coming Thursday in Tokyo. Conveniently named the PlayStation Meeting, it'll allegedly serve as a launchpad for a rumored PlayStation Portable 2, or PSP 2, the newspaper reported.

The publication also added some interesting tidbits of previously unknown information. For one, the handheld should feature an OLED touchscreen described as being larger than the 4.3-inch display on the PSP. A larger display with bright colors and deep blacks on the PSP 3 should help Sony counter glass-less 3D display technology on the Nintendo 3DS. Also helping the PSP 2 will be a new processor described as "powerful enough to display HD images."

Additionally, the PSP 2 will also sport 3G circuitry, allegedly in cooperation with Japan's NTT Docomo carrier. Even though 3G connectivity won't be used for phone calls (at least initially), the paper reported, it will let gamers download games, updates and movies on the go. And when can you get your hands on PSP 2, you ask? According to sources, it's due by the year's end in Japan and it'll probably cost more than the PSP due to a higher cost of components, such as a higher-quality OLED display and an improved processor.
