Do you still remember when camcorders required a VHS tape and a nickel-cadmium battery that’s about a size of a remote and twice as thick? I sure do. They were big, bulky and half-way through the tape you had to change batteries.
Video camcorders have evolved from that to miniature versions that took minitapes, then to cameras that are about the size of your hand and need MiniDV tapes. Now, there are no more motor’s in the camera and all videos are now stored 
onto digital memory, and are about the size of your palm.
Panasonic took this one step further and produced and SD9 and the SW20. Both cameras takes SD cards, have no moving internal parts, and has more battery life then our VHS ancestors.
Panasonic decided to grace us with two of their new camera out on the market now: The HDC-SD9 and the SDR-SW20. They say SD9 can shoot full HD video and the SW20 can be used anywhere.
Let’s put them to the test.

Today we caught wind of a plan being launched by Rogers Wireless and sister company Fido.
This new data plan will be applicable to any smart phone and provides 6GB of data for the low monthly fee of $30. Rogers is finally starting to listen to consumers who are sick of their high data rates!
This is an awesome addition to their lineup of data plans, but it is not expected to be offered any longer than the end of August so get it now while you can!
As promised, here are some photos of the Canadian iPhone 3G our source is confidential.

Price
This is one of the most important factors in determining if the HTC Shift is right for you. Pricing is starting at around $1500 to $2000, though that will probably to come down shortly after supply increases. That is a lot of “hard-earned” money to pay for something which can’t replace your main computer and when you can get wi-fi laptops at half the price its a difficult dicision to make in purchasing a Shift unit. However, I am happy to say if you’re in the market to get an UMPC, the Shift is worth a long, hard look. It’s pretty much the only game in town with a real keyboard and 3G connectivity.

SNAPVUE
SnapVue is basically the Windows Mobile side of things. On the SnapVue homescreen, you get a nice Today plugin. It shows the time, date, weather, emails, contacts, SMSs, calendar and settings. The issue is that since HTC has not provided us with the full Windows Mobile experience, you are limited in what you can do.

The first impression of the Sony Ericsson Z750i is confusion! I do believe this phone has a personality disorder, is it a clam shell or is it a flip phone? Then again is it a cheap pay-as-you-go phone or a middle-of-the-road 3G phone??
