20100209-mydocuments.jpg

Earlier today, I was reading Infoworld’s article, The iPad questions Apple won’t answer. The first question they listed was “Can you save and transfer documents to the iPad?”, and their assumed answer was “No”; they suggested that the only way to do this would be to open a document from an email message.
I read that [...]

20100208-imacipad.jpg

The announcement of the iPad has done a lot of things: it’s stoked up excitement in the Mac using community, it’s got a bunch of developers feverishly coding exciting new stuff, and it’s got retailers and cell phone companies the world over drooling over the money they can make from it.
And it’s also somewhat upset [...]

Samsung Brings Wi-Fi, Dual LCDs To Digital Cameras

Samsung TL225 and TL220 DualView Cameras

If the average digital camera has become a bit ho-hum, Samsung Electronics America may refresh your opinion. The company Monday introduced three new cameras, one with Wi-Fi and two with touch LCD screens — one on the front and one in the traditional rear position.

The CL65 ($399.99) includes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless connectivity and geo-tagging. The geo-tagging records the latitude and longitude of the picture’s location and prints the city in the LCD – so no more photos from “Disneyland” actually taken at the local amusement park. Along with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, the CL65 supports DLNA networking technology which lets you display your photos on HD TVs.

Along with the connectivity options, the CL65 offers 12.2 megapixel images with a 3.5-inch touch-screen LCD and Samsung’s Smart Gesture User Interface, allowing you to autofocus and take picture by touching the screen. Along with that, Samsung has done the near-impossible: getting your child to be interested. The “child mode” plays an animation which hopefully will capture a child’s attention long enough for you to snap away.

Samsung also released two DualView digital cameras that include an LCD screen on the front, as well as the rear. The TL220 ($299.99) and TL225 ($$349.99) let you take photos even when the photographer is standing in front of the lens. The cameras have a 1.5-inch front LCD screen and a 3.5-inch rear LCD.

“It has become more common for the photographer to switch roles and become the subject of his or her photo, especially given the rise in popularity of self-portraits or profile pictures for use with today’s popular social networking sites,” Samsung Digital Imaging Company CEO Sang Jin Park said in a statement.
