| Delkin's New Dual Universal Battery Charger Wins Prestigious DIMA Award for Outstanding Design ...
Poway, CA. January 30, 2008 - Today Delkin's new Dual Universal Battery Charger was honored with the 2008 DIMA award for outstanding design and innovation. This unique charger for digital camera batteries combines universal compatibility among battery models with the ability to charge two batteries simultaneously. The need for a charger that can recharge two batteries of different models, voltages and even chemical composition at the same time has sprung up from the growth and development in the digi-cam market. "It is now common for households, or even individuals, to own multiple digital cameras," said Anna Lopez, Delkin's Battery Product Manager. "Many photographers own point and shoot cameras for day-to-day shooting, and a digital SLR for more serious photography. Different camera models seldom use the same battery, forcing photographers to carry an array of chargers." Delkin's Dual Universal Battery Charger is a single, two sided charger that uses individual charging plates specific to each camera battery, so it can charge almost any digital camera battery model.

A Look Back At The Future Of Electronics
I have a professional photographer friend who spent $25,000 for a digital camera back in the 90s. Now you can get great pro-sumer cameras for under $800. At CES, Sony debuted its $699 Alpha DSLR-A100. Like the Canon EOS Rebel XTi and the Nikon D40, this is a full featured camera with interchangeable lenses sold as a kit with a starter lens. The new Sony camera features a 10 megapixel sensor, the ability to take up to 3 frames per second and the support for ISOs ranging from 100 to 3,200. What that all adds up to is a camera that can perform well in a variety of lighting conditions. Also, like the competition, it has image stabilization which compensates for our shaky hands, especially when using a long zoom.
Casio introduced one of the most innovative cameras at show. It isnt an SLR, but the new Exilim Pro EX-F1 has a 12X optical zoom and what Casio says is the worlds fastest burst shooting performance.
Got Gucci? The Cell Phone vs. PDA Debate Will Be Settled By Function ...
One of the most durable debates in the mobile space centers on the differences between cell phones with PDA capabilities, and PDA-type devices that have built-in communications capabilities. More to the point, is it better and more productive to have a PDA with all sorts of built-in wireless technologies, or does it make more sense to use a cell phone that has been bulked up with a email, instant messaging and personal management applications that would seem to eliminate the need to carry a Palm- or Windows-based PDA device? In most cases, personal preferences as to which device is the best fit come down to some very basic criteria: Which device has the longest battery life? Will I be responding to long emails and reviewing documents (in which case, the larger screen of a PDA with wireless capabilities might be the preferred model)? Is the device easily transported and does it have a minimal impact on the lean and clean lines of that Italian suit Ill be wearing (you can refer to this as the wireless Gucci Effect)? My personal opinion is that it really doesnt matter, since most hybrid PDAs which usually sport a number of communications technologies, from Bluetooth to wide area wireless have been redesigned to look more like traditional cell phones and less like boxy PDAs.
GIRL, 7, DIES IN QUAD BIKE CRASH
Young children, even as young as a 7 year old want all the latest gadgets and bikes, etc., whether they are appropriate for their age or not. Parents give in. These are both two very sad stories at Christmastime. My heart goes out to the parents. • Posted by: Rothaymere • Report Comment .
Coeur d'Alene Soldier Buried at Arlington National Cemetery
In Lewiston, I literally could walk a few blocks from work downtown along the levee into Washington. I've never had a desire to live in Washington state. In fact, I turned down the first offer the SR made to me b/c the paper wanted me to run the CDA bureau from the Spokane office. I couldn't refuse a second offer to return to reporting (from news editor) in the Coeur d'Alene office. What am I saying? I consider the towns of Coeur d'Alene -- and, yes, smelly old Lewiston -- superior to nearby Clarkston and Spokane/Spokane Valley. Boise and Spokane may have more population than Coeur d'Alene. But it can't touch the Lake City for beauty and a great place to live. .
