Casio Exilim, say hello to Kitty

Leonard Goh | Sep 02, 2008

It's not unusual to see electronic manufacturers associate their products with popular cartoon characters to make them more appealing. Casio's latest Exilim offering, however, may just be a tad too pink, even for a Hello Kitty-themed camera.

Using its bright pink Exilim Z80 as the base, Casio has given its shooter girlish charm by adding Hello Kitty's face and a couple of hearts on the front face. Although this point-and-shoot is probably targeted at girls, we're sure some guys will take a liking to this camera, too.

This is not Casio's and Sanrio's first collaboration. The two companies first worked on the Hello Kitty Exilim Digicam 720 last year.

Here's the interesting part. A plain Z80 will set you back US$179, but after adding the feline character's face, GeekStuff4U is touting the camera for US$538.70. Is it worth that much? Well, hardcore collectors will probably pay any amount to add this shooter to their collections. I'll pass.

Swann FlashlightDVR: If torches and camcorders mated

Andrew Lim | Sep 02, 2008

The idea of gadgets being able to literally mate with each other and produce converged offspring is one which terrifies us as much as it excites us. Man-induced gadget mating can yield interesting results, too. Take the Swann FlashlightDVR--it's a torch with a built-in camcorder that can take stills and video footage.

The FlashlightDVR can impressively shoot at night using infrared sensors and comes with 128MB of onboard memory, with the option to expand via a miniSD slot. Aimed at security guards, we think that it has plenty of consumer uses, too, such as being able to shoot your own low-fi Blair Witch-esque movie or just your camping holidays.

Photoshop.com on Windows Mobile devices

Leonard Goh | Sep 01, 2008

With the recent renaming of Adobe's online gallery and image-editing service from Photoshop Express to Photoshop.com, the company has also announced the beta version of Photoshop.com Mobile, an application designed to run on Windows Mobile handsets.

Oddly, the mobile version doesn't support image editing as we had expected, but it does help to organize pictures taken with your camera-phone and supports grid viewing, which is similar to what you get on digital cameras.

The online storage space has been bumped up from 2GB to 5GB and you'll have to register for it (don't worry, it's free). After registration, fire up the application on your phone, enter the login details and you'll have access to your online gallery, Adobe style. From there, you can retrieve or upload images to your account.

It may be some time before Photoshop-like image-editing tools are available on a mobile device, but at least we are getting somewhere with Photoshop.com Mobile. The software is expected to be made available later this month. Click here to see if your device is compatible.
