Either by happy coincidence or some inspired forward planning, the rear-mounted engine and rear-wheel drive platform of the original i lent itself perfectly to a leccy reinvention with the electric motor, inverter and associated technology taking the place of the petrol engine and fuel tank, and the lithium-ion battery pack sitting under the floor.
Once you settle behind the wheel in the rather upright driving position, the overwhelming impression in one of great space and excellent visibility. The second thing that hits you is that interior is remarkably unremarkable. Where is the expanse of LED instrumentation telling you how many trees you are saving? Thankfully, they are nowhere to be found. Instead, you get a workaday instrument set, three-dial aircon and basic CD entertainment system. Strangely in this day and age, the iMiEV lacks an MP3 jack or iPod dock.
The instrument binnacle has been designed to be as twit proof as possible. A large LCD speedometer is surrounded by a power-demand gauge that runs from blue – energy being returned to the battery pack via regenerative braking – through green – the normal driving mode, with no excessive demand being placed on the battery pack – to grey. With the needle in the grey are you're seriously depleting the battery pac.

Honda has been shown a clean pair of heels by Toyota. This situation is graphically underlined by the fact that Toyota's Prius is currently on its fourth incarnation since its launch in 1997, while the Honda's Insight is only on its second since 1999. Between 2006 and the launch of the new model, the Insight didn't exist at all.
So has the new Insight been worth the three-year wait?
It probably wasn't ideal timing for the new Insight to arrive on the forecourt at the same time as the latest Prius. After all, they look alike, have broadly similar powertrain concepts and are probably the only two hybrids the man in the street could name if you stopped him and asked.
The Insight's exterior styling is certainly eye-catching but it's also not wholly dissimilar - again - to the latest Prius. Honda prefers to emphasise the Insight's similarity to its hydrogen-powered big brother, the FCX Clarity. Line all three cars up and remove the badges, and many people would struggle to tell them apart, suggesting that this is the shape you get when you ask a large computer to design an aerodynamically efficient five-door hatchback.
Honda hasn't revealed the Insight's coefficient of drag, but we'd be very surprised if it's far off the Prius' figure of 0.25 – an identical figure to that of the original and ruthlessly streamlined Insight. Unlike the Civic Hybrid, the Insight doesn't use wind-cheating wheel trims. Apparently, European car buyers think they are as ugly as sin.
Slippery the design maybe, but that wind-cheating roof line and narrow rear comes at the expense of rear visibility which is very poor and made worse by the solid bar that divides the upper and lower parts of the tailgate window. Even with the elephant-ear wing mirrors, reversing can be a worryingly hit and miss affair.
Hybrid electric drive comes courtesy of a 13.8bhp (10.3kW) electric motor that also produces 58lb-ft of torque. That's a considerably less powerful leccy motor than the one to be found in the Prius, which is rated at 80bhp and 153lb-ft.
TOYOTA PIRIUS 4 genration car
it's still the one nine out of ten motorists will think of when you say the word 'hybrid'. You can thank Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio for that, and the fact that Toyota have sold 1.2 million of the things since the first one rolled off the production line back in 1997.
For the Prius' fourth incarnation, Toyota has delivered a car that is entirely new. And so it needs to be because Honda is also now competing for hybrid market share with its equally clean-sheet-of-paper Insight -
We said all that needed saying about the physical similarities between the Insight and the Prius when we reviewed the former in August. Driving the Prius has only reinforced the similarities. A couple of casual observers even asked when we had changed the colour of our car.
Despite being marginally longer overall and in wheelbase than the Insight – 4.46/2.70m vs 4.40/2.56m – the Prius is only slightly more spacious in the rear. While boot space is also a little better, you still won't be using it to shift wardrobes about. Sit up front and there's very little in to choose between the two cars when it comes to space.
Rear visibility is another feature that is equally poor in both the Prius and the Insight, but our top of the range T-Spirit test car came with a handy combined satnav and rear-view camera which made reversing less of a gamble - as did rear headrests smaller than those found in the Insight.
Settle in behind the wheel of the Prius in the rather stiff seats and press the on/off button – nothing so arcane as a key here – and... nothing happens. Well, nothing other than the central LED dash display coming on and the word Ready appearing.
New Garman Nuvi 1340t
New Garman Nuvi 1340t:
he Nüvi 1340T will be the one satnav you won't want to leave stuck to your dashboard. With an easily portable slimline design, the Nüvi 1340T features a pedestrian mode that includes the ability to hold your hand on London's underground network.
The 4.3in widescreen display has a resolution of 480 x 272, while the chassis weighs 160g and measures 12.2cm wide, 7.5cm tall and just 1.6cm thick. There's only one physical button on the device, namely the power button. A micro SD card slot sits on the left side, but with a whopping 4GB of internal storage – and only just over half used – it's unlikely you'll need to use it. Look carefully and you'll notice a mic on the left side, however with no Bluetooth or voice recognition functionality it's a totally redundant feature on the 1340T.
Start up times are quick, with the main menu appearing after just 20 seconds from cold and the satellite lock being obtained a few seconds later. Browsing the map, however, can be painfully slow - on occasion, we had to wait a good 10 seconds when scrolling around before the screen updated. We also experienced a couple of crashes – software-based, not multi-car pile ups – when browsing with the GPS receiver switched off. Thankfully, neither of these problems occurred during navigation.
The 1340T comes with street level road maps for Western Europe, courtesy of Navteq. Register your device with Garmin and, if a new map is released within 60-days of your first journey, you'll be able to download it for free. From then on, single map updates cost £73 or lifetime updates can be purchased for a one-off £100 payment.
If you enjoy having road names read out, the Nüvi 1340T will gladly oblige. Naturally, some road names are too complex for the text-to-speech engine to pronounce accurately, but it makes a decent fist of it and reads out roads such as the A259 in the correct "A-two-five-nine" manner as opposed to "A-two-hundred-and-fifty-nine".
Navigation commands are clear, but we did find the 'next turn' icon that appears in the top right of the screen a little small – especially when approaching roundabouts. It's able to belt out instructions loud enough to be heard over the roar of motorway driving, although it won't increase the volume automatically as you speed up. You also have to return to the main menu, in order to change the volume – as with so many other sat navs, simple physical volume buttons would be so much better.

Logitech Squeezebox music streamer:
the Squeezebox Duet, Boom and Radio models, the Touch is Logitech's latest wizard wheeze to help liberate your digital music files. Like the Duet, the Touch acts as a bridge between your PC and your hi-fi by hooking the two up using a Wi-Fi network. However, you can't use it as a stand alone music player, as you can with the Boom and the Radio.
The Touch resembles a small fat digital picture frame but one canted back at around 40 degrees to allow for convenient access to the capacitive 4.3in colour screen that houses the system UI. Like all the other Squeezebox kit I have tested, the Touch is well made, smart and practical. The rear stand is large and solid enough to let you poke the screen without fear of it toppling over, while the underside is rubberized to prevent it sliding about in use.
As well as being able to stream audio over a Wi-Fi network, the Touch includes an SD card reader built into the side along with a USB port at the back. Load either with JPEG images rather than music files - or both - and the Touch doubles up as a digital picture frame when the screen isn't doing UI duties. Other sockets include phono audio, 100Mb/s Ethernet, optical and digital audio outputs and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
iPOD Touch
iPod Touch The original iPod Touch lacked email and applications (other than Web apps via its Mobile Safari browser), and it had other deficiencies, as well: no volume buttons, no speaker, no camera and no Bluetooth, although it featured WiFi networking, along with USB. As a media player, this iPod Touch was limited to 8 or 16 GB of storage vs. the iPod Classic's 80 or 160 GB capacity.
Today's second-generation iPod Touch improves a bit upon the original hardware, but it was the 2008 introduction of Apple's iTunes App Store that has turned the device into a full-fledged mobile computer with tens of thousands of third-party applications available.
To date, the iPod Touch is the only device other than the iPhone that works on Apple's mobile application platform. And that is the reason to buy one.
Platform
The iPod Touch uses the same operating system as the iPhone, which is a (massively) slimmed-down version of the "OS X" operating system used for Apple's Macintosh computers. The Mobile Safari browser is based on Apple's desktop Safari browser (though it doesn't support Flash content), but the user interface is completely different. The iPhone/iPod Touch UI is designed from the ground-up for fingers and small screens rather than the mice and relatively large screens of desktop and laptop computers, and every other phone vendor has been scrambling to catch up with it. [See our first iPod Touch review for more details about the underlying hardware platform and user interface, as well as our iPhone reviews, listed in the "Links" section below.]
In 2008, the year after the iPod Touch's debut, Apple rolled out "OS 2.0" for its mobile platform (dropping "X" from its name). Aside from some performance improvements and bug fixes, the real news was support for Apple's new iTunes App Store, which opened up a whole world of third-party apps, drastically expanding the usefulness of the device and justifying many more purchases.
In other words, iPod Touch is not a Walkman-like, single-purpose device. It is an evolving, general purpose computing platform that fits in the palm of your hand.
OS 3.0
iPhone OS 3.0 is due this summer. Like OS 2.0, it should run on all previous iPod Touch models, with an upgrade price of $9.95. Apple gave a public preview, focussing on features for developers but also showcasing new features for end users. Notable enhancements include MMS messaging (to support sending and receiving pictures, contacts, audio messages and map locations); voice memos; calendaring enhancements; cut-and-paste (like Mac OS X has); and a new Spotlight system for searching the iPod's contents (including third party app data, if the developer writes a plug-in).
Other anticipated features include WiFi auto-login, support for Stereo Bluetooth headphones, Notes sync, Safari anti-phishing security improvements and form auto-fill, improved parental controls, true YouTube login, and the ability to get movies and TV shows directly from Apple's store without having to use your Mac or PC to buy-and-sync them over iTunes.
Apple also promises a developers' interface to the Dock port in OS 3.0 for enabling custom hardware and software access — think audio recording, data acquisition, 3G cellular data or fax modems... and ultimately anything the homebrew hardware community can dream up! (A little keyboard, like the fold-up ones that used to be made for the Palm III and Palm V series, would be quite welcome.)
But, as we await OS 3.0, what does the second-generation iPod Touch have for you today?
New MP3 PLAYER
Leading the pack is the Cowon S9, which pulled off 36 hours of music playback and a mind-boggling 11 hours of video during CNET Labs testing. For those with more refined tastes (and bigger wallets), the Sony X-Series Walkman offers stunning OLED picture quality, a capacitive touch-screen interface, exceptional audio quality, and an integrated pair of active noise-canceling headphones. It also goes the distance with 33 hours of audio playback and 9 hours of video.
The Samsung P3, Apple iPod Touch, and Microsoft Zune HD, all offer a great balance of audio and video battery life, averaging 30 to 40 hours of audio and 6 to 8 hours of video. If your needs (or budget) run more to the modest end of the spectrum, the Philips GoGear Spark is a great buy with 32 hours of battery (CNET Labs results) life and an ultracompact design.
MP3 players with the best battery life
Has the daily ritual of recharging all your portable devices become so loathsome that adding one more gadget to the list might just make you snap? Or maybe your extreme, jet-setting lifestyle requires a portable music player that can run for more than 30 hours without a recharge? Well, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve assembled this list of our favorite long-haul MP3 players, all of which are capable of a week’s worth of casual usage without a recharge.
New sony camcoder
NEW SONY CAMCODER:
Prototype now, real thing in the autu
11th May 2010 10:55 GMT
Having introduced the Nex-3 and Nex-5 compact cameras as concept models back in February then.Sony is taking the same approach with a new interchangeable-lens camcorder.So, today we get the mock-up, and an indication that the real thing will arrive some time in the autumn.
The connection with the Alpha Nex series goes deeper still: the new AVCHD camcorder will use the same DSLR-quality APS image sensor as the Nex line does, and it will take their lenses to - plus regular Alpha DSLR lenses with a suitable adaptor.
"By combining these features," the company said, "Sony aims to market a camcorder capable of generating a variety of creative expressions in full HD quality."
We're all for generating creative expressions here on reghardware. ®
Sony Erisson smart phone
Sony Ericsson vivaz phone:
the latest Sony Ericsson's latest style phone certainly cuts a dash with its unique curvy shape. But its focus is on HD video capture, rather than just movie viewing, with its 8.1Mp stills camera also capable of recording moving images in 720p HD. With Wi-Fi, HSDPA 3G, A-GPS and social networking apps, the Vivaz adds up to much more than a mere fashion phone
It has a volume rocker, which doubles as a camera zoom, plus two dedicated buttons for both still and video cameras. There's a micro USB slot – yes, SE is steadily saying goodbye to its ill-starred FastPort – covered by a plastic grommet and a 3.5mm headphone jack tucked into the corner. On the back is the slightly recessed camera lens and LED flash set in a perfect circle. It feels comfy in the hand too, not big or heavy at 107 x 52 x 13mm and 97g, yet still feeling substantial.
APPLE MACINTOSH
THE APPLE COMPUTER:
They were pants. Of course, I didn't know this at the time. It's only now, having had the chance to play with Apple's latest MacBook Pro, that I realise that everything that came before it was so dreadfully ordinary.
Apple's latest series of MacBook Pro computers are available in three models according to screen size - 13in, 15in and 17in - and a restricted range of Intel processors. The product tested here is the mid-range model that Apple probably expects to sell in the greatest numbers: a 15in unit fitted with an Intel Core i5-540M (dual-core, four thread) processor running at 2.53GHz.
For this new range, Apple has almost completely dispensed with its curvy design legacy. Apart from its four rounded corners, the MacBook Pro is a straight-edged notebook in which right-angles are the fashion of the day. It's also much slimmer than I had imagined: indeed, it is just 5mm thicker than the innovative MacBook Air.
The 15.3in glossy widescreen display is surrounded by a flush bezel in jet black, with an iSight webcam embedded in the bezel above the screen. The 1440 x 900-pixel display is razor sharp and very easy on the eye.

NOKIA 6300 THE SLIM FIN:
The famous Finnish mobile manufacturer has been long expected to launch a new high-end, classic-look phone with state-of-the-art functional menu to substitute the enormously successful couple Nokia 6230 and Nokia 6230i. The first try in this sense came a year and a few months ago with the presentation of Nokia 6233. However, its rounded body was accepted rather coldly by common users. Until today, when we meet Nokia 6300, the model many proclaim to be the real successor of Nokia 6230/6230i. Reasons are numerous. Nokia 6300 has a modern slim look, not spoilt by unnecessary decorative elements, a highly functional menu, and brilliant keypad and display.
Nokia has also gone on a diet
Slim phones are fashionable these days. Quite understandable, isn’t it? Who would prefer to carry a device that fills up their pocket with an unpleasant bulge? Obviously, Nokia has also had to go on a diet as this new model is 6 mm thinner than Nokia 6233. Here are all its parameters: 106 x 44 x 12 mm. Nokia 6300 weighs merely 91g, which, given its steel plates, is another admirable achievement.
Nokia 6300 comes in a decent black & silver combination. Everything that is silver is made of steel. Black areas are made of glossy plastic material. The display and the functional part of the keypad are located inside a black frame that stands out over the surrounding surface a little. As a result of this, Nokia 6300 notably resembles Nokia 3230.
The phone construction benefits a lot from the significant amount of metal material used on it as these make it extremely solid. Nokia 6300 did not give out a single creak, not even under strong pressure. The battery cover fit in perfectly too. Yet, glossy materials have also been applied, which brings along inevitable drawbacks: fingerprints remain visible on almost the entire phone surface. And then if your hands tend to sweat excessively, you may not even manage to ever clean your mobile. Fingerprints are clearly seen on the keypad, the display, and all plates.
llumination alerts of all important events
Due to Nokia 6300’s slimness, its sides lack many control elements. The left side, in particular, is absolutely bare. On the right you will find a dual volume control button, only functional if pressed strongly or moved by one’s nail. The camera control button is not situated here, because the rear plate of the phone covers the sides.
NOKIA SMART PHONE
Currently the Xseries is composed of two completely different phones. The Nokia X6 is a touch phone running Symbian, and the X3 is an affordable Series 40 slider. It packs stereo speakers, excellent audio quality and a built-in FM radio antenna for a complete sonic experience. All right, we said affordable, so don’t go looking for top-notch gear beside the obvious full music package.
The Nokia X3 runs the Series 40 6th edition but it’s unlike any S40 handset we’ve seen before. For a brief, joyful moment, we thought Nokia have finally given in and added multitasking. The truth turned out to be different but still there were small steps taken in the right direction. And you should see what they’ve done with the Gallery – it’s only a notch bellow the S60 one.
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves and let’s take a look at the Nokia X3 pros and cons.
Key features
- Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support
- 2.2″ 262K color QVGA display
- 3.2 megapixel fixed focus camera
- S40 user interface, 6th edition; rudimentary multitasking
- Stereo FM radio with RDS; Built-in antena (so it plays on the loudspeakers even if you don’t plug the headset)
- Stereo speakers
- Standard 3.5mm audio jack
- Up to 26 hours of music playback
- Bluetooth (with A2DP) and microUSB port
- microSD card slot (16 GB supported, 2GB included)
- Rich preinstalled application package
- Ovi Store, Ovi Maps and Ovi Share
GPS System
The Garmin 76CSX: Hot! GPS Systems And Accessories
GPS technology is still new in terms of public use and access. A marine GPS can be the lifeline for your voyage if you find yourself out in the middle of the high seas without a clue as to where you are going. It was just a few years ago that GPS systems appeared in the marketplace and to this day, it’s easier to find someone without GPS than with one. With a GPS, you can identify your exact coordinates based on a number of electronic calculations and come up with a strategy to get you back where you desire.
Many people out there do want to own one but have no idea which one to choose. There are so many models to choose from, and with most GPS systems costing hundreds of dollars, it’s not entirely unreasonable to be scared to make a decision. This is the reason why this list of some of the better systems out there has been compiled to help you come up with an informed choice on which is the best GPS system for you and your money. There many different types of GPS, which one is right for you.
Bug GPS is a powerful vehicle tracking device that utilizes the GPS (Global Positioning System) technology developed by the Department of Defense. With amazing accuracy, it gathers miles driven on a daily basis, maintains time for billing records and produces comprehensive reports on all vehicle travel activities. Bug GPS® Also provides your PC, smart-phone, or PC phone mapping programs with GPS navigation (not ‘live’ tracking).
Garmin GPSMAP 76CSx
This GPS system contains a great slot to plug in removable disks that contain all your map information. An even better feature is that this disk slot is located inside the waterproof battery compartment so even when the weather is unfavorable, you won’t have to worry about your map data becoming corrupted or damaged.
Built to withstand the toughest of conditions, this GPS comes with a compass sensor and a sensor to determine barometric pressure in the air around you. This model is perfect for the ‘outdoorsy’ type of person who needs to know this information while traveling through the wilderness.
The advantage to a portable GPS, besides actually helping you find your location, is that it is small enough to not be a bothersome bit of luggage when you leave for camping trips. Instead of worrying about finding extra cargo space for your enormous GPS contraption, you simply slip the GPS in your pocket until it is needed.
BMW 535
The 2010 BMW 535 is the luxury manufacturer’s mid-level midsize sport sedan/wagon in its 5 Series, which also includes the entry-level 528 and premium 550. As the next step up in size from the 3 Series, the 535 is available in either rear- or all-wheel-drive (xDrive) configurations and powered by a 300-horsepower, 3.0-liter inline-6 coupled to a six-speed automatic with auto-manual shift or six-speed manual transmission. The 2010 BMW 535 is EPA-rated at 16-17 mpg in the city and 23-26 mpg on the highway.
The 2010 BMW 535 remains unchanged from the previous model year and faces competition from the Audi A6, Lexus GS and Acura RL in the luxury sedan segment. Standard 17-inch alloy wheels feature all-season tires, and optional 18-inch alloys feature seasonal tires. On the exterior, the 2010 BMW 535 features an elongated front end, LED turn signals, rain-sensing windshield wipers and adaptive headlights that turn in the direction you turn the steering wheel.
Inside, the 2010 BMW 535's spacious cabin is adorned in faux leather, but leather trim is always available. Standard features include a sunroof, power front seats with driver memory, automatic climate control, push-button start, MP3 auxiliary jack, a power tilt/telescoping steering wheel and increased storage capacity in the center console. Additional comfort and convenience amenities include a navigation system with iDrive, which utilizes an LCD screen and console-mounted dial to control audio, climate, navigation and communication functions. Heated front and rear seats, HD radio and a windshield display that projects your course and speed are also offered.
A full complement of standard safety technologies, including antilock brakes, electronic stability control, front, side-impact and side curtain airbags, hill start assist and hill descent control, has helped the 2010 BMW 535 earn five stars for front passenger protection and front and rear side protection in government crash tests. Additional safety features include rear side-impact airbags and a lane-departure warning system that alerts you if your car starts to veer from its lane.
2010 BMW 535 sport sedan/wagon is equipped with a powerful, yet fuel-efficient, engine and packed with modern technology for added luxury and convenience.
NEW BMW
After making its U.S. debut in 2008 as a compact luxury coupe and soft-top convertible, the 2010 BMW 1 Series delivers knockout power and performance and is packed with standard and available interior gadgetry.
The 2010 BMW 1 Series consists of the base 128i (RWD) and turbocharged 135i. The 135 is equipped with a 300-horsepower, 3.0-liter inline-six engine mated to a six-speed automatic with auto-manual shift or a six-speed manual transmission, and EPA estimated fuel economy ratings range between 17-18 mpg in the city and 25-26 mpg on the highway. The fast and nimble 135 can race from 0-60 in an estimated 5.1 seconds.
The BMW 135 competes against the likes of Audi TT and Nissan 370Z. For 2010, it gains HD radio and optional automatic high beams, but loses its standard sunroof. The 135 features standard adaptive headlights that follow the direction in which you are steering, heated side-view mirrors and windshield washer jets, rain-sensing wipers and a power soft top that can open or close in 22 seconds (on convertible models). Sitting on 18-inch wheels, the 135 is equipped with a more powerful engine and sport-tuned suspension and also features an aero kit, which is designed to improve brake cooling.
Inside, leather seating for up to four occupants is optional, and a 60/40-split folding rear seat provides more trunk volume (up to 13 cubic feet). Convertible leather seats feature BMW’s sun reflective technology, which lowers the temperature of seating surfaces exposed to the sunlight. Additional standard offerings include a leather-wrapped steering wheel, cruise control, 10-speaker stereo with a CD player and MP3 capability. An optional Sport Package replaces the front bucket seats with more aggressive-bolstering sport seats. Further options include a navigation system which utilizes BMW’s iDrive control system, heated front seats and keyless igntion.
The 2010 BMW 135 is protected by a host of standard safety technologies, including side-impact airbags for the front seats, side curtain airbags for front and rear occupants (except for the convertible, which gets pop-up roll bars), an electronic stability system and antilock brakes.
As either a compact luxury coupe or soft-top convertible, the 2010 BMW 135 is geared toward those who appreciate luxury and performance.

samsung lcd tv
samsung lcd tv will make your life magical.This truly exceptional TV also includes InfoLink RSS feature which lets you enjoy instant access to news, weather, sports and stock information. Fast-paced sports, action scenes and gaming have never looked so real with Auto Motion Plus 120Hz and Ultra Clear Panel technology. It has a ton of features. Here is a list of the new ones.
The Samsung LN46A650 46-Inch LCD – The Best of Its Size!
Picking out a new TV is difficult, especially with the range of choices available, from 780p, 1080i, 1080p, different HDMI inputs, brightness, hertz – the list is endless. If you don’t do your research before attempting to buy, you end up trolling hundreds of reviews various websites, hoping that you find something everyone can agree on as the “best” for it’s size and price.
With the Samsung LN46A650, there’s no need to look any further. This TV is part of Samsung’s Series 6 LCD HDTVs; simply put, more of everything, and better. With the Series 6 TVs, you get full 1080p HD, which is the best available. With the 1080p resolution, you are able to view literally every pixel in HD broadcasting or DVDs. The 1080p has progressive scanning, which means that the image you are viewing is shown with the all the lines of the image going sequentially, instead of the interlaced mode of the 1080i TVs. Beyond that, the color on the LN46A650 is amazing – the blacks are deep and well defined, while the other colors remain sharp and crisp.
With this TV, the response time for switching modes has been decreased to 4ms. This decrease, along with the 120hz image interpolation, provides with sharper images and smoother motion when changing between modes from the TV, such as switching from a game console to the cable broadcast. With the 120hz, the TV is able to input the image that comes between the first and second frames, making the transition much smoother, and doubles the frame rate from 60 to 120 for the best viewing possible.
Along with the four HDMI inputs, the TV also comes equipped with an Ethernet port, and the InfoLink RSS service to get up to date weather, sports scores, and local news. This is a nice touch for people who are eventually going to be building a media PC with their TV; everything looks great on this screen, even YouTube.
With TruSurround, the built in sound system, the bass is deep and dialog and sound effects are crisp and clear, even with the two speakers in the TV. It is compatible with all multichannel formats up to 5.1 channels, giving you top notch virtual surround sound.

The Kodak Playsport known as the Zx3, is the evolution of Kodak's Zx1. While that model was weather-resistant, the Playsport is waterproof, able to record underwater down to 9.8 feet. There are other improvements, too, that make it a more capable pocket video camera--in and out of the water.
For its price there's little to complain about, but if you're after specific shooting abilities or features you'll want to keep reading. However, if your main concerns are an inexpensive HD pocket video camera that can handle a day at the pool, a hike in the woods, or some time in inclement weather, the Playsport is highly recommended.
Key specs Kodak Playsport Zx3
Price (MSRP) $149.99
Dimensions (HWD) 4.4 x 2.3 x 0.8 inches
Weight (with battery and media) 5.1 ounces
Storage capacity, type SD/SDHC cards
Resolution, sensor size, type 5 megapixels, 1/2.5-inch CMOS
LCD size, resolution 2-inch LCD, 154K dots
Lens Fixed focus, f2.8, 48mm (35mm equivalent)
File format (video, audio) H.264 (.MOV)
Resolution 1,920x1,080 at 30fps (progressive)
Recording time 80 minutes per 4GB (720p at 30fps)
Image stabilization type Digital
Battery type, rated life (typical use) Li ion rechargeable, 1 hour, 30 minutes (720p at 30fps)
At roughly the size of an average smartphone, the Playsport is fractionally bigger and heavier than other minicamcorders, but not in any meaningful way. You'll still have no trouble slipping it into a pants pocket or small handbag and it certainly won't weigh you down. The body is primarily plastic, but it feels like thick, tough plastic and the slightly textured back and ribbed sides help you keep a good grip on it even when wet. Despite its "rugged design," Kodak makes no claims of it being crush- or shockproof. In fact, the only durability claims made are that it's waterproof to 9.8 feet (meeting IEC standard 60529 IPX8, so my guess would be that's only for up to 30 minutes) and dust resistant (IEC standard 60529 IPX6). It's also not freezeproof, meaning it likely won't function properly when exposed to temperatures lower than 32 degrees Fahrenheit for an extended time. As typical of minicamcorders, the lens on front is left fairly unprotected, so you'll need to remember to keep it safe and clean. Unlike Kodak's Zi8 model, the Playsport has no macro option for focusing on close subjects; the normal focus range starts at 3.3 feet, while underwater it starts at 4.4 feet. Next to the lens is a relatively sensitive mono microphone, a hidden IR receiver for an optional remote, and a record light that blinks red when you're recording. The light as well as all operational sounds can be shut off.
Controls are easy enough for out-of-the-box use. The power button is high on the right side, but all other controls are on back below the LCD. The circular four-way directional pad controls the 4x digital zoom (up and down) and changes recording modes (left and right). It's also used for navigation and fast forward, rewind, and volume in playback. The button in its center is to start/stop recordings, take a photo, and play/pause/stop videos in playback. The remaining four buttons to the left of the pad let you enter Liveview for recording; Review for watching what you've shot; delete photos and videos; and access the settings menu.
The LCD is relatively small at 2 inches diagonal, but it is good enough for shooting and on-the-spot playback. Kodak adds an LCD Glare Shield feature to this model that sounds fancier than it is. It simply improves screen visibility in bright outdoor lighting by changing from a Normal picture to High Saturation or Black & White. The settings have no effect on the actual video, but they can help you see what you're shooting. Toggling through them is done with the Liveview button.
And while I'm on the subject of settings, there aren't a whole lot of things to adjust since these minicamcorders are made for point-and-shoot use. Along with the Glare Shield feature, you get three levels of screen brightness and an auto option for letting the device set it; gain control for the built-in mono mic; on/offs for its electronic image stabilization and face detection; and an Underwater Mode that improves video and photo quality for better clarity when shooting underwater. There are four video recording modes to choose from: 1080p at 30fps, 720p at 60fps or 30fps, and WVGA. You can also shoot 5-megapixel stills.
