While Sony’s new Bloggie Touch provides the template for how simple and easy a touchscreen camcorder could really be, Kodak’s similarly well built and attractive PlayTouch provides a stark contrast, with a modicum of simplicity on the surface, but a megaton of functionality to uncover. The PlayTouch isn’t as pick-up-and go as the Bloggie, but the basic touchscreen controls can be quickly mastered. What sets the PlayTouch apart are the in-depth features like an external microphone jack (complete with gain control), video effects (like black & white and sepia modes), and the particularly ambitious video editor.

The problem with the future is that it’s always 3 to 5 years away. Nevertheless, what you’re looking at is what Philips and Dimenco, a small company of ex-Philips engineers, say will be coming to the consumer television market as early as 2013 — earlier if you’re in the professional advertising business or just want to view your family photos on a small 3D photo frame.

We still have memories — some would say nightmares, but we digress — of hanging out at a neighbor’s house and taking turns playing matches of Mario’s Tennis , our biological ocular displays assimilated into a rubber mask that engulfed our brains and left us in a permanent state of viewing the world in red wireframe. Crude 3D though it may be, it’s still a part of history we must accept, and if you happen to own a Virtual Boy, we have just two things to say to you.

When it comes to keeping unwanted personnel out of your property, whether that be an estate or an alcove, you can’t be expected to hang around holding the big guns all day long.

Yeah, we spied a few of LG’s new 31-inch, 2.9mm thick displays the other day , but we hadn’t seen the standard TV-like configurations — which don’t mean too much, because this is still a prototype, but they’re a comfort all the same. We also managed to peep a 3D setup with the screens, which used polarized glasses and was surprisingly sharp. We promised ourselves it would just be a quick look, and that we had important things to do today, and that we really don’t need a new TV all that much..

Canon’s PowerShot S90 managed to attract a considerable fan base with some stellar image quality and professional-level features, but it did have a few drawbacks — most notably a lack of HD video that’s hard to overlook these days. The new and improved PowerShot S95 promises to address that and other complaints, however, and according to PhotographyBlog , it succeeds on most counts.

At last year’s TGS, Capcom producer Keiji Inafune had some pretty grim things to say about the Japanese game industry. “I said that comment hoping that the Japanese creators were going to wake up,” Inafune told Videogamer in a new interview. “However, there has been no change whatsoever to the situation since last year, so I’m still very pessimistic.” Inafune said that some Japanese developers are “still living the glory of the ’80s and ’90s,” when the NES, Super NES and Genesis delivered a steady stream of hit games from Japan to the world

Toshiba’s new LED-based pico projectors won’t shake the world with VGA resolutions, 14 lumens and just 80 minutes of battery life, but we have to admit the Lumileo P100 and Lumileo M200’s focusing dial and keypad do look a spot more stylish than some of the cubes and rectangles we’ve tried. And while we’ve just pretty much described the P100 model in full, the M200 has an additional feature that might be worth your while — like the 3M MPro , it plays back video (including DivX), Word, PowerPoint, Excel and PDF files directly from 2GB of internal memory or your microSD card of choice, with no attached PC required. Otherwise, both project up to 60-inch pictures from VGA or “TV in” ports not shown here, and both will appear in Europe to claim an unspecified amount of that continent’s discretionary cash during the fourth quarter of this year.
