A.C.Ryan

Over at the A.C.Ryan booth, they have a working display of the A.C.Ryan AluBox DVR. It is a new gadget that holds a 3.5" hard disk, and you can either use it to record TV programmes (yes, TV programmes) or just use it as an external hard disk!

Asus














Over at the ASUS booth, we see ASUS' latest mini PC on display - the ASUS Nova P20 and the Nova Lite PX20. The P20 has an Intel E2160 dual-core processor, together with 1GB of memory and a 120GB SATA hard disk drive. In addition, it has built-in wireless and Bluetooth.

The PX20 runs on a slower Intel Dothan 900MHz single-core processor, retains 1GB of memory, but has a smaller 80GB SATA hard disk. There is no built-in wireless and Bluetooth on this variant.

Both units retail for $1099 and $699 respectively. Prices are only for this IT Show.

Over at the Altec Lansing (Ban Leong) booth, we have the Orbit and Nobi on sale.

The Orbit is an ultra-portable speaker for MP3 players, and other audio devices.

The Nobi is also an ultra-portable speaker system, however, it is designed for mobile phones such as the Nokia XpressMusic phones, as it comes with an audio jack.

Axxio, Canon and Casio

The EOS 450D has a new 12-megapixel CMOS sensor, as well as a revamped 9-point autofocus model.

However, the new Ixus 80 IS is available at the show. It is the successor to the Ixus 70 and 75.

The Ixus 80 IS has an eight-megapixel sensor, 3x optical zoom, a 2.5-inch LCD screen, and most importantly, Optical Image Stablisation function.

Nikon, Olympus, Plantronics and Sandisk

Nikon











On show is Nikon's latest entry-level DSLR, the Nikon D60. It has a 10-megapixel CCD sensor on the Nikon DX format. However, the D60 is only able to perform autofocus on Nikkor AF-S lenses, or lenses that have built-in AF motors, because of the exclusion of one on the camera body.

This means cheap but good lenses such as the Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 prime would only be able to operate on manual focus.

Olympus





This is the camera marketed as having the world's fastest autofocus system. It retails for $2669.
