Sharp announced it’s 8 MP phone camera called SH-01A in Japan market through NTT DoCoMo. Adopting a 3.3-inch display with 480 x 854 resolution, the SH-01A supports up to ISO 2500 and face detection function for five persons. Other features included 1-Seg, GPS, Bluetooth connectivity, 7.2Mbps 3G network and up to 8GB of micro SD card. It sports a 28mm wide-angle lens with 8 megapixel CCD sensor and, according to rumor, Dolby Pro Logic II surround sound for your microSD stored media. Remember, FCC testing doesn’t mean it’ll be sold between the left and right coasts, this flip is likely just being certified for US roaming whenever it’s finally announced for NTT DoCoMo in Japan

Blu-ray has almost gotten its act together. After putting the stake in the heart of HD DVD, prospective buyers have had to deal with confusing Blu-ray profiles, varying audio-decoding capabilities, and standalone players with prices above $500. As we head into the 2008 holiday season, however, we’re finally starting to see fully mature Profile 2.0 players with high-resolution audio decoding at prices that don’t exceed the cost of theSony PlayStation 3.

The Panasonic DMP-BD55 is a perfect example, hitting almost all the essential features we look for and pairing those up with pristine image quality. That being said, Panasonic also offers the cheaper DMP-BD35, which (from what Panasonic engineers have told us), will offer all the same features and identical video performance–with the exception of the 7.1 analog outputs and analog-audio enhancements. As good as the DMP-BD55 is, unless you intend to use the analog outputs on your Blu-ray player, go with the less expensive DMP-BD35.

I wonder why Italy got ahead of the rest of the world with this kickass gadget but if you’re like us then you’d be thrilled to know it’s hitting the worldwide market very soon. You can tell from the looks of it (and from the specs) that this BenQ S6 Mobile Internet Device is somewhat of a super device. 800MHz Intel Atom CPU, 4.8-inch WVGA (800 x 480) display, 512MB DDR2 RAM, a 2GB SSD, Bluetooth 2.0 / WiFi, HSDPA, microSD slot, inbuilt G-sensor and support for an army of multimedia formats, and not to mention its super cool “free-surf” user interface. If all that still doesn’t impress you, watch the video after the jump.

Yes, people. You’re looking at the first shots of Amazon’s Kindle 2. The follow-up to their popular e-book reader. Our ninja sent us a ton of shots, and we have to admit, they look pretty good. The unit didn’t go down too much in size which is unfortunate, but then again, you want something pretty large so it’s comfortable to read on. He says that the unit is a little wider and a little longer, but it should help those that thought the first unit was a little too awkwardly-shaped. What’s even better is that with the new unit, while holding it, you won’t accidentally flip the page like the old one. Hit the jump for the rest!

As far as buttons go, on the right side, the bottoms from top to bottom are: Home, Next Page, Menu, a joystick, and Undo. On the left side, there’s Previous, Page, and Next Page. We’re told the buttons are significantly smaller to avoid accidental page turning. The joystick takes the place of the scroll wheel and it “takes a little getting used to.” As far as the redesigned keyboard… it “has a good layout, but lettering on the keys could be darker.” Continuing our tour around the unit, next to the sliding sleep button, there’s the headphone jack, and on the right side edge you’ve got the volume up/down buttons. What’s interesting (and you can see this in the photos) is that the backside of the unit is mostly metal with the speakers at the bottom pf the back. One more plus? They’ve finally ditched their own charger. The Kindle 2 is able to be charged with a miniUSB cable.

HP has announced a new laptop if you are in the market for something that’s not too small as a netbook or as big as a notebook. The new Pavilion dv3500t, though smaller in size compared to other notebooks at just 13 inches (a first for HP), comes packed with hardware that will see you through Crysis without a hitch. The baseline configuration features a Core 2 Duo T5800 processor, 2 gigs of RAM, a GeForce 9300M GS graphics card, and a 160GB harddrive. This can be further bumped up to 8GB of RAM, 400GB of space, or have a higher CPU with a choice of four models up to Core 2 Duo T9400, provided you have the cash for it. Its 13.3-inch display can also be upgraded to an LED-backlit display for an extra $100, which takes away almost half a pound off its 4.1-pound weight. The dv3500t also has an HDMI port, an eSATA port tucked away inside a USB port, a fingerprint scanner, and a webcam. Throwing down a further $29 can get you a six-cell battery instead of the standard four-cell battery that this notebook carries.

If you like what you see, the HP Pavilion dv3500t is available now for sale with the base configuration starting at just $999.
