Ready for some new terminology? Good, try on "3MOS" -- Panasonic's newest sensor adaptation which, judging by machine translated text, is a trio sensors capturing twice the light of a single CMOS of the same 1/6-inch size. Think 3CCD applied to CMOS sensors. The result is said to be superior image quality and impressive low-light recording capability -- twice the sensitivity of its own 3CCD camcorders thanks to what Panny calls its new "heavy lifting iA" enabling them to shoot in a mere 2 lux of available lighting. That's just a glimpse at what you'll find inside the solid state HDC-SD100 (supporting up to 32GB of SDHC) and the HDC-HS100 hybrid offering both SDHC and a 60GB hard disk for storage. These 1080i AVCHD camcorders also features Panasonic's improved optical image stabilization, a 12x optical zoom, 5.1-surround mic, and HDMI-out.The ¥130,000 (about $1,205) SD100 and ¥150,000 (about $1,390) HS100 should hit the Japanese retail block on July 12th.

TG’s Sambo Windows CE 5.0 PMP has a 4.8-inch 800×480 screen and powered by an RMI AU 1250 to 700MHz CPU. It’s powered like a UMPC with a processor almost as fast as a sub-notebook, matched with a rather disappointing 128MB of RAM. It has WiFi, T-DMB, plays MPEG 1/2/4, WMV, ASF, DivX3.1 1/4x/5x, Xvid 1.0 Video files, MP3, WMA, WAV, OGG.

This is a Korean release only priced at 300 euros or $466. I wonder with the screen at 4.8 inches they didn’t think of putting GPS in it. It’s a Korean device after all.

If you want to play it on your TV, the entire procedure is a little bit more complicated because it involves a computer sitting near by. Digital Cowboys thought about all that and developed the HDD Media Player Kit.

This device includes HDMI/Coaxial/Optical/Composite outputs so that you can use it with any TV. WMV HD/MPEG-1/2/4(DivX/XviD)/DVD are only a few examples of the types of formats it supports.

Until now there are no information available about pricing or release date.

One of the two big Microsoft news out of the Game Developers Conference today of course is the extension of XNA Game Studio to the Zune. It means now with one development framework and toolset, game developers can make the relatively simple transition between three platforms to publish their games on - the PC, XBOX 360 and the Zune.

You might have seen pictures on Engadget and Joystiq, but nothing beats full-motion video. Dan Fernandez has uploaded a short snippet of the Microsoft keynote with Chris Satchell showing off a game demo on the Zune. Debunking some of the fears it wouldn’t play well, the controls looks pretty intuitive and the graphic are smooth as well.
