USB flash drives are fast becoming a part of everyday life. A-DATA's PD-19 aims to become a small part of yours.

Or is that a big part?

Read on to find out why I'm so confused.

The SP3200 lays claim to this fairly lofty claim through its 32" 16:9 screen. With a resolution of 1366x768, a remote control and the ability to playback MPEG 1/2/4, WMA and AVI, along with its stylish design, the SP3200 looks to be a worthy addition to your wall or shelf.

And of course, the SP3200 accepts all major memory cards, including Memory Stick, SD and CF to supplement its 256Mb of on-board memory.

The SP3200 will retail for $899US and will be available through speciality retailers across the USA.

Targeting camcorder owners who have moved on from tape and record direct to flash card, Sandisk has announced the new Video HD line of flash cards.

The Video HD cards will be available in SDHC and Memory Stick PRO Duo formats and will be labelled with minutes of recording time as well as traditional Gigabyte storage capacity.

Another change is that the cards will also come with jewel cases and labels so users can identify what is stored on their flash cards.

Price and availability is still to be announced but expect to see 4GB (60 minutes) and 8GB (120 minutes) versions at retailers soon.

If you bred a Nintendo Wii and a regular SANSA MP3 player, you'd probably end up with the Sansa SHAKER.

The SHAKER has two headphone jacks, a built in speaker and can play back MP3s for ten hours on its AAA battery. Apart from its unusual hourglass shape however, the shaker has another quirk: When you shake it, it changes songs!

The Shaker features an SD slot to store tracks and at under $100 for the 1GB version, seems to be good value.

Impecca has just announced its range of 2008 LCD digital photo frames at CES and the initial specs look good.

The 10.4" Wi-Fi LCD frame has a resolution of 800x600 and plays back a veritable cornucopia of image, video and audio file formats, including: JPEG, AVI, DIVX, MPEG 1/2/4 and MP3/WMA.

Beyond Wi-fi connectivity, the frame supports most memory card formats and has 32Mb of built in memory on board and a wireless remote control.

The Wi-Fi LCD range is expected to hit stores in late January and will come in 3.5", 8.4", 10.4" and 15" sizes. The 10.4" Wi-Fi LCD is expected to retail for $349US.

Not content with their EZ Yego winning a coveted 2008 IF award (our review here) RiDATA has announced a new range of SSD drives in both 1.8" and 2.5" form factors with up to 128GB of high speed SSD Storage.

RITEK SSD boasts a random access speed of up to 110MB/s and a write speed of up to 70MB/s. This device should do wonders for speeding up boot up times and improve overall system performance.

No pricing yet, but we'll be keeping our eyes peeled for these.

I've never heard of Sonoro but now that they have been brought to my attention I'll be looking out for their products.

A popular brand in Germany, Sonoro are currently launching a US arm at CES. Sonoro create the stylish Cubo audio device which can play back CDs, MP3s and Radio in a neat cube design. Featuring a quirky top mounted speaker only adds to the Cubos interestingness and we can't wait to get our hands on one to test. 

The yet to be released Fusion model features an ipod dock and an elegant flat front panel which is sure to be a hit.

Until we can get our hands on one of these neat devices, head on over to Sonoro's website for more information.

Like many Australian's, my home is currently stuck in the land of Standard Definition. When the opportunity to review a 46" Sony Bravia XBR came along, I knew my current television wouldn't approve, but as I got off the phone, through the corner of my eye, I could swear I saw my Xbox 360 crack a smile 1080p wide.

Read on to find out about how the XBR performed and what making the transition to High Definition is all about..

Recently I bought a JVC Everio HDD camcorder which came bundled with some CyberLink software for editing video. 

This OEM version of PowerDirector Express was easy to work with for a neophyte such as me but ultimately would be rather limited. 

Subsequently I acquired the full version of PowerDirector v6 and checked it out.

Here are my initial findings.

SanDisk has just announced a new addition to its ultra-tough Cruzer Titanium range of USB Flash drives: The Cruzer Titanium Plus.

Apart from a new golden appearance, the Cruzer Titanium Plus offers users automatic online backup of every file copied to the drive. Not only will this new service offer an off-site backup of your data, but it will also allow you to access your data over the internet - Even when you forget your USB drive!

The new Titanium Plus is expected to come with a 4GB capacity and is the first unit from SanDisk to offer an on-line backup feature.

Expect to see the Titanium Plus in stores soon with a retail price of $59.99US.
