Blackmagic Cinema Camera
The Blackmagic Cinema Camera allows the capture of much more affordable film quality video than competitors Canon and Sony.

Sony SmartWatch
Lots of watches lately on the blog, and of course Sony has now announced the new SmartWatch aiming to compete with other smart watches like the Pebble I covered earlier. With a multi-touch OLED display and Android OS to back it up, the competition is heating...
NOOK Simple Touch with GlowLight

Canon EOS-1D C
Canon has just released a new camera and it’s incredible. The Canon EOS-1D C has a 18.1 megapixel sensor and is capable of shooting stills while also shooting 4K video at 4096 x 2160 at 24 fps and 1080p from 24p to 60p. Of course it’s compatible with the full line of compact EF-mount lenses. The one thing they didn’t do is make a short URL for it. http://bit.ly/HCfnYy
Pebble E-Paper Watch

The Pebble is a kickstarter project (yes, I know I’ve been featuring a lot lately) that includes a SDK so the watch can be customized in a vast number of ways. Change the display, get email notifications the possibilities are incredible. It’s clearly met it’s goal so it would be great to see this put into production...
Biegert & Funk QLOCKTWO W
The QLOCKTWO W (W is to distinguish the watch model) is a gorgeous, yet clean designed watch that opts for words and phrases instead of numbers to tell time. Hit the button on the side of the brushed aluminium face and the watch lights up to reveal a phrase like “Is it half past twelve” (pictured). Available Fall 2012. http://www.qlocktwo.com/info_w.php?lang=en
