Sony HDR-TG1 Handycam Is World's Smallest 1080p HD Camcorde

Meant more for geeky vacationers than pros, Sony's calling its HDR-TG1 Handycam the world's smallest "full HD" camcorder, packing 10 ounces into a 1.3 x 4.7 x 2.5-inch titanium frame. Sony is all about face-detecting as of late, which comes standard here on both video and still shooting. It can identify up to eight mugs, and supposedly adds extra "encoding bits" to faces for the best possible rendering of your subjects. Unfortunately, Sony's still forcing the Memory Stick standard upon the world, this time, a choice between PRO Duo or PRO Duo Mark2. (How many more MS flavors can we stand, Sony??) It'll be $900 in May, though you can pre-order tomorrow online. Full press release below. [

Sonic Screwdriver

This Sonic Screwdriver is a gadget for all those Doctor Who fans that weren’t satisfied with just th Tardis USB hub. Remember that saying, “if it’s made like a screwdriver and it looks like a screwdriver, it must be a screwdriver”? Oh, and you are so very wrong! It actually has a pen on one head and a beam of UV light at the other. So now you you can write anything you want with UV ink and not worry about other people reading it. Just imagine handing your boss an amazingly favorable report and between the lines your real thoughts. Ha, ha, ha what a subtle revenge. And the revenge costs only 12.99$ and 3 AG 13 batteries. Small price to pay!

Portable Recorded Satellite Radio Gets Sirius

Tom's Hardware Guide reports that starting in October, Sirius subscribers will be able to time-shift satellite radio on the go. Sirius will offer the S50 portable music receiver at $359.99 with the home docking station an additional $99.99. Sirius' monthly subscription fee is $12.95.

The player can only receive satellite signals when connected to either a car or home docking station and records via the on-board flash memory.

Harry Wang at Parks Associates, said, "At $360, plus an extra $100 for the (home) docking station this is too expensive. I doubt this is a positive move for Sirius."

Wang added "there is some overlap of MP3 users and satellite radio users, but I suspect that the interest is not very high -- perhaps 20%." Wang thought the "S50's reliance upon its docking station to receive programs" was an inconvenience and counter to the portable music player usage model. "With music players, consumers like to be in the driver seat," said Wang.

I have to agree with Wang. $360 plus another $100 is not going to draw in the crowds, especially for consumers that already own an MP3 player. The monthly subscription fee of $12.95 won't help either since portable music player owners are price sensitive to rates over $10 a month Parks Associates found...
