Guess someone talked, because the info on the new Panasonic G2 and G10’s are out early. While there is a whole long list of details on everything for AF lock to Color temperature, let’s just concentrate on the big news, shall we? The G2 is a 12.1 megapixel camera. It’s a micro four thirds mount of course, with ISO from 100 – 6400. You will be able to shoot video with the G2, and it supports up to 30fps in HD resolution (1280

Samsung might be joining Panasonic in offering portable Blu-ray players if a Ben Lyon twoot is to be believed. Let me quote, “I just partnered w/ Samsung & they asked me 2 host an event in NYC tonight for their new line of portable Blue-Ray players that are amazing!” Interested? We are. Samsung does have an event on the books tonight. It’s the Samsung 2010 Mobile PC Open House, which at least seems partly the proper venue to announce portable Blu-ray players. They are sort of like little PCs in design, but a home entertainment event seems a bit more appropriate for a Blu-ray product. But lowly Ben Lyon wouldn’t make something like this up. He doesn’t even know the proper spelling of Blu-ray. The event is a few hours away so we don’t long to wait until we get a good look at these portable devices. That is, of course, if Ben Lyon isn’t making the whole thing up, which would actually be fairly humorous.

Just 3.2 pounds, folks. That’s all. Jetsetting, globetrotting, running after trains and then jumping into that one open car with all the hay in it. That could be you. Except once you’re in the hay car you could get on Twitter and be like, “Just ran alongside train and jumped in open car filled with hay. Need a Claritin! Blah! ROTFLOL!” The features, please: Intel Core i5 CPU at 2.4GHz (with “Turbo Boost” up to 2.93GHz) 12.1-inch LED-backlit multi-touch screen at 1280

Panasonic in Japan has announced [JP] a new stereo system today, the D-Dock SC-HC40. The device is just 69mm thick at the thinnest part but integrates a speaker plus digital amplifier (20W×2ch(6Ω)), a CD player, an AM/FM tuner, an SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card slot, and a “sliding door” (Panasonic). Open the “door” to find a dock in which you can put your iPhone or iPod, which you can then control remotely (Panasonic calls this “Direct Docking”). You can also take your Apple player into your hand, choose what you want to hear and listen to the music through the D-Dock speaker. The device supports the iPhone 3G and 3GS plus the iPod, iPod classic, touch, nano, and mini (various generations). The SC-HC40 features Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, and needless to say, comes with a remote control. Play music (or videos) from your Apple devices from your couch or choose tracks directly from your SD cards (in AAC, WMA, MP3 formats). It’s also possible to copy music from the radio or your CD player onto SD cards without a computer (this won’t work with music stored on your iPhone/iPod). Panasonic plans to start selling the D-Dock SC-HC40 in Japan on March 12 for $420. I don’t think this pretty neat system will ever find its way out of Japan though.
