A new handheld flash recorder has been announced by Sony through their PCM-D50. It comes equipped with 4GB of storage space and also includes a Sony memory stick slot if you need extra storage possibility. Its price tag is $599 and also features internal stereo condenser microphones. If needed, you can also use preamp for un-powered external mics and they will be recognized as soon as they are plugged in. Internal mics are also included. The general look of the gadget is pretty metallic but it should be quite useful for reporters and more.

This is interesting! Korean firm Savit Micro is now letting you carry an entire High Definition video source in the palm of your hand. The Cinedisk CD26HD is now on the market and is capable of up to 1080i resolution with being just a little larger than a normal hand held media player. We have a big 120 GB 2.5 inch hard drive that can playback different formats including MPEG 2, DiVX, WMV9HD, MP3, OGG and WMA. At the moment there is no presence of HDMI so this will not be for you if you consider this feature a must have. On the other hand, the present outputs (for coax digital audio and component video) should be enough for the average user.

The bad side to it all is that you will have problems in finding one of these babies outside Korea. If you can also pay for overseas shipping you will be able to purchase the Cinedisk CD26HD for around $230.

The Philips PVD1075 seems to be a very good device in the market of portable DVB-T. It is mainly available in Asia and Europe but can be used in any area that offers DVB broadcasts. This Philips product comes with a very nice sleek design, a skinny package and can undergo a lot of media playing. The first look at the PVD1075 did not offer much and the device does not really seem to be one that will blow people away. The screen is not that special but on the whole the product can be used in home surroundings to a maximum effect.
