Gizmodo Frankenreview: iPod nano V.2.0 September 20, 2006
READ MORE Portable Media
Last week Apple announced an update to the iPod line -including the new iPod nano. Aside from getting a Crayola metal facelift that is strikingly similar to the mini, the new nano has a screen that is 40% brighter and a battery that will last all day (literally). But it's a good thing Apple keeps working on their iPods, because the non-video nano has some tough competition from the Creative Zen V Plus and the Sandisk Sansa e200 series. And, of course, the beloved 1st gen nano. Wow, he's looking mad - better be careful with that plastic casing! Hit the jump for our Frankenreview, clipped together from CNet, PCWorld, PC Magazine, and Ars. – Mark Wilson

1-Minute Update: Apple iTV to have Hard Drive? September 20, 2006

According to MacRumors, Disney CEO Bob Iger reveals that Apple's from-the-future livingroom media streamer, iTV, will have a hard drive. That seems like a good idea, if they're going to try to stream video over WiFi. But I'm not sure Bobby knows what he's talkin bout. If he's right, great, but for $299 iTV better bring me beer.

Disney Pitches Mix Max, Mix Micro Players to the Wee Ones September 20, 2006
READ MORE Portable Media
Disney added to its line of electronic products embossed with its magical logo with a product it calls Mix Max. It plays Disneyfied movies and music via pre-loaded SD cards that, of course, are sold by Disney. The player has a 2.2-inch screen, so tiny it's only viewable only by eagle-eyed wee ones and Tinkerbell herself, and also brings along 512MB of internal memory for the ride.
Expect the kids to be nagging you soon for this $100 player, available in three nicely-etched styles including Tinkerbell (shown here), Cheetah Girls and Forever Princess. Amid this flurry of introductions, the company will also update its Mix Stix music player ($50), raising its memory to 512MB and is also introducing a little sibling for it, the Mix Micro (with a micro price of $20) music player with 128MB of memory. Ah, Disney: Sell a kid a product, you eat for a day; teach a kid to nag, you'll eat for a lifetime.

Roulette Prediction Device Ready To Rock UK Casinos September 20, 2006
READ MORE Gadgets
UK gamblers looking to get their teeth knocked out will be happy to hear the news that a company has developed a device that makes cheating at the roulette tables much easier. Costing around $1,900, the device employs a time recorder, a computer and an earpiece. When put in the hands of someone who actually knows how to gamble properly (not a newbie, in other words), the odds of winning can be greatly stacked in their favor. One estimate showed a 100 percent increase in the likelihood of winning.
The device measures the acceleration speed of the wheel and sends the info to the on-board computer. The computer then calculates where the ball will send based on the acceleration data and sends the result to an earpiece inside the user's ear canal. All very tricky, all very likely to get you thrown out—if not worse—from your local house of gambling.

Plug the Pinnacle PCTV HD Pro Stick ($130) into a USB port, and get yourself instant HDTV on a laptop. It also turns your PC into a personal video recorder with its included program guide software, and also gives you a remote control for lean-back comfort.
Teamed up with an additional remote control Pinnacle calls the PCTV MCE Companion ($100), it works with Windows XP Media Center Edition and turns that PC into an analog and digital TV set.
The only downside? All of this HDTV must be received over the air with an old-fashioned antenna. Now if there were CableCards involved, this would really capture our undivided attention. Alas, products like that will have to wait until Vista is released early next year.

Okay Apple cheerleaders, get out your pom-poms because it's time to debunk data gathered by Net Applications, showing the Mac OS losing market share.

Microsoft continues to ram the Zune down our throats like it's a delicious lobster. Hence, pictures of it in action are worth their weight in gold and our friends over at CrunchGear (or one of their spies, at least) managed to snag a Zune and have the photos to prove it. By far, the most provocative shot is the final one, which seems to reveal some sort of docking port, so get ready for plenty of Zune speaker docks when it's released.
Otherwise, the pictures reveal new insights about the menu system/GUI and prove that 105.7 FM is a very popular radio station in the Seattle area.

Delkin DVD Burnaway: Flash Memory, Burned Direct to DVD September 20, 2006
READ MORE Storage
We remember the Delkin BurnAway for CDs, and now the company has released an equally-overpriced DVD version, the DVD BurnAway that lets you offload your flash memory cards onto a DVD without needing a PC.
It reads a variety of flash memory cards, such as CompactFlash (I&II), Microdrive, SD, MMC, SmartMedia, Memory Stick, MS PRO, and xD (with adapter), and burns all that data onto a DVD, and you can even span data over multiple DVDs if necessary. Hook it up to a TV or projector with an S-Video or RCA cable, and you can play slides directly from the BurnAway.
If you can cope with that steep $370 price, it's actually a versatile little device that can also double as a DVD burner when plugged into your PC via USB 2.0. We have a similar unit sitting on our desk here, and it's actually quite convenient having a combination card reader/DVD burner close at hand.

Quad-Core Intel Xeon Chips Coming Sooner Than Expected September 20, 2006

Hey, weren't these Intel quad-core processors due in the first quarter of 2007? Now Intel will not only roll out its quad-core Xeon processors in the fourth quarter of this year, it will follow that with a low-voltage version in 2007's first quarter.
These four Clovertown chips will constitute the Xeon 53xx family, arriving in speeds of 1.6GHz, 1.86GHz, 2.33GHz and 2.66GHz. They're all flying, too, running on a 1066MHz front-side bus, and contain a whopping 8MB of L2 cache.
Geez, isn't this processor parade speeding up tenfold? And, our only objection to those Clovertown chips was their power-hungriness, and now Intel solves that problem, too. Does this leave AMD completely in the dust? Discuss.

Panasonic to Ship First Blu-ray Hybrid Recorders September 20, 2006
READ MORE Home Entertainment
While Sony talked about shipping a Blu-ray recorder with no release date announced, Panasonic actually shows us the first Blu-ray hybrid recorders, its DMR-BW200 and DMR-BR100. They're called hybrid because they combine hard drive recording with Blu-ray single- and dual-layer disc recording capabilities (DVD recording, too, if that matters any more). The higher-end BW200 packs a 500GB hard drive, two digital tuners and one analog tuner. The lower-end BR100 has a 200GB hard drive and a single digital/analog tuner.
The 1080p recorders can also do some neat tricks, such as high-speed dubbing of a hard disk recording onto Blu-ray disc, and the fancier BW200 has a FireWire port for hooking up a digital video camera and Ethernet for program guides and other Internet functionality. Both shipping November 15 in Japan, the DMR-BW200 will be $2550 while the DMR-BR100 will cost $2050. Ouch.

Also known as the Trace, the T519 is the successor to the T509, so if you're familiar with that, you should feel right at home.
The first thing you'll notice is that it's quite skinny, like Kate Moss-level skinny, or around 0.3-inches in depth. The LG Chocolate, my main cellphone, is decidedly fat in comparison. (There's a comparison shot after the jump, along with a few other glamor shots.) It's also very light (flimsy?), so light (again, flimsy?) that you get the feeling, "If I concentrate hard enough, I can break it with my mind." What else does it having going for it, hmm...

Xbox 360 Gets 1080p Support September 20, 2006
READ MORE Consoles , Gadgets , Games , Home Entertainment , Peripherals
Microsoft is back on the PS3 spoiler trail by announcing that a free software update coming later this year will allow Xbox 360 owners to upscale games content to the full high-def resolution of 1080p.
The patch will work in a similar way to how the 360 currently upscales content to 720p and 1080i resolutions. This is not true high-def, of course, but should still be a lot better than DVD quality.
Not only will the upgrade upscale your games, it will also upscale your DVD movies. Isn’t that just so considerate? However, if you want to play high-def HD DVD discs you will have to buy the new external drive for the Xbox, which will be shipping in Japan from Nov 17 for under $170 (or £90).
The US is expected to get it in and around the same timeframe but no details on Europe yet. One thing for sure though, it will cost a helluva lot more than £90. – Martin Lynch

Sony HVR-V1U Pro HD Camcorder Enters the Fray September 20, 2006
READ MORE Digital cameras
The Sony HVR-V1U HD camcorder is the pro version of their HDR-FX7, packed with the same triple threat of quarter-inch, 1-megapixel ClearVid CMOS sensors and a 20X zoom lens.
Lori Grunin from CNet astutely notes that the camera's biggest add on is its ability to record progressive scan video at 1080 lines, albeit at only 24 frames per second. It naturally records 1080i, though, so remain happy, if not giddy at those prospects. It's got 2 XLR inputs and a shotgun mike, and the ability to record directly to an optional 60 GByte hard drive called the HVD-DR60.
Our own Charlie White is in some backroom groping the camera right now, so expect some locker room talk from him later.
