The KODAK PLAYSPORT has as much appetite for adventure as you do. And it’s not afraid to get wet.

With built-in image stabilization, the KODAK PLAYSPORT will stay steady as a rock. From the waves, to the slopes, to the mud-soaked trails, this baby was made for the extremes.

Motorola Devour officially coming to Verizon next month
Feb 3rd
Motorola Devour Verizon : Blog.DirVenue.com
And just like that, it’s official. Verizon Wireless has today announced that Motorola’s scrumptiously named Devour will be heading to its network next month, with it being the first VZW phone to feature Motoblur. Not that we’re seeing any surprises here, but a quick specification run down draws our attention to a 3.1-inch capacitive touchscreen, a touch-sensitive navigation pad, a pre-installed 8GB microSD card and Bluetooth support. Unfortunately, there’s no apparent mention of multitouch — and we wouldn’t expect it out of the box, since the Devour runs Android 1.6 — but we’re crossing our fingers (and toes, for that matter) for Google to sling that delightful Nexus One update to the rest of its high-powered Android phones in the very near future. There’s nary a mention of an asking price, but we’ll be sure to keep an eye out as launch day approaches.

Apple iPad with pros and cons
Feb 1st
Apple iPad
Finally Apple Inc. introduced the highly anticipated iPad tablet computer.
In general, I think, it was about what people had come to expect after months of speculation. As always, I expect Apple to add more bells and whistles to the thing — and drop prices — in six to 12 months. I might be a relatively early adopter, but I’m not bleeding edge, preferring to mull over a tech purchase and consider closely my own use patterns and needs.
That said, I sketched out some preliminary pros and cons of the iPad, as I perceive them. What am I missing? Here are Apple’s official tech specs for the iPad.
Pros
Price, application support, slick, iWork, iBooks and large screen are main reason for buying a ipad.
Cons
No camera, no flash support, no background application support, typing ergonomic , no phone option and above all no usb or hdmi cables.
