The world renowned designer of the Gorillapod flexible camera tripod, Joby, Inc. is introducing two new additions to the Gorillapod family of products at this year’s Photo Marketing Association International tradeshow during February 21-23 in Anaheim, CA. Joby has decided to add a few magnets to the feet of its Gorillapod flexible tripod.

The Ballhead X for Gorillapod Focus is constructed from precision-machined anodized aluminum, is 3.3-inches tall, weighs just over 9 ounces.The Gorillapod Magnetic supports camcorders and digital cameras weighing up to 11.5 ounces and it should go on sale worldwide for an undisclosed amount this April.

If you dreamt to snap group photos while inside those steel prison bars then such dreams can be change into reality. In latest news, the company is also showing its professional side with the April-bound Ballhead X, described as a “portable yet sturdy” head that can pan and rotate cameras up to 11.1 pounds.

While it is designed to play nice with the Gorillapod Focus but it should work fine with 3/8- and 1/4-inch threads on other tripods. So, what you think about this product?

All reach folks must be aware of  well-known gadget Crystol Roc’s Swarovski-studded Olympus Pen E-P1 digi-cam those who are lovers for bling. Though Crystal Roc is famous for sparkling up any instrument that comes its way and slapping on Swarovski crystals to the Olympus E-P1 does not make it look any more desirable. It won’t be so easy to get your hands on, because it is only available at Harrods’ Micro Anvika department in the UK.

The Olympus Pen E-P1 has taken by Swarovski and is bejeweled with their traditional crystal gems. All over a camera, spreading tiny gems is not exactly traditional but the jewels combined with the already retro-look of the E-P1 is downright bizarre. I think it would work for some personalities and it is cute in a kitchy way.

Over the sticker price, you have the disposable cash to pay a $2,000 premium. This “blinged” camera comes with two lenses, a flash and a wooden box for only $3,302 (£1999.99). You should buy it no matter how sexy this camera is. But I think you should wait until the upcoming E-P2 glamorized by a whole bunch of Swarovski crystals.

Do you think that people would still want to get the E-P1 with the Olympus E-P2 just around the corner? Some people think that it will be in demand, especially when it is glamorized by Swarovski crystals. You have to come out with $3,302 (£1999.99) to get this shiny camera. A regular Pen E-P1 is just more than half that price.

So, what do you think of the flashy look on this camera?

The Pentax K-x replaces the last year’s K2000 and brings some impressive features of the the K-7 and it places them in a more consumer-friendly body. It include the main changes like Pentax’s 11-point SAFOX VIII AF module, a new image sensor and processor, the addition of both live view and significant boosts to both the camera’s maximum shutter speed (1/6000) and 24fps high-definition video capability, burst-shooting (4.7 fps) capabilities and ISO sensitivity (up to a boosted ISO 12,800).

The Pentax K-x Korejanai Robot Model’s pricing with matching 18-55mm DA-L lens is set at ¥79,800 inclusive of tax which is roughly equivalent to US$880, ignoring exchange rate fluctuations, duties and taxes.

We always take interest in reading about the technologies related to automobiles, Mobile Technology, Gadgets etc. But we rarely have stuff to read about the technologies that we use in our daily life and plays an important role in making our surroundings neat and clean and that automatically makes our life more beautiful. I am glad that today I have an interesting thing for you i.e. Samsung’s Furot II vacuum cleaner.

Samsung is showing an automatic robot vacuum cleaner at the IFA so that you do not need to move an inch or oversee anything while it is performing its cleaning chore. That vacuum cleaner is the Furot II. The Furot II is a completely automated robot vacuum cleaner and has an integrated camera as well as visionary mapping system that allow the robot cleaner to see, think, learn and remember.

The 10cm long device has HEPA 11 filters, a two-sided brush to clean inaccessible areas, the usual suction pump and an ultralow noise level. This smart cleaning device uses its camera to determine its location and the sensors ignore all possible obstacles while moving from one place to another such as stairs and furniture. It can clean your house for about 90 minutes in single charge but if the battery is low then recharge it on the charging station and it will automatically resume cleaning from the place where it has left. Infact, when the battery is low again, it remembers you to go back to the charging station.

The Furot II robot vacuum cleaner has a manual mode also where you can send Furot II back to its station by just pressing a button on the remote. The cleaner’s price is not declared yet but we do hope it will be affordable.

I have gone crazy when I heard that the world’s first built-in projector, the Nikon Coolpix S1000pj compact with the integrated digital projector camera was announced to enable you to share view images and videos with the touch of a button up to 40 inches in size from 6.6 feet distance.

This camera would be useful for slide show presentations complete with music, effects and transitions, given a resolution output of 640×480 VGA but this is not for projecting very high-definition videos.

Features of the Nikon Coolpix S1000pj compact digital projector camera:

• A 8 to 140 mm
• 5X optical zoom lens with five-way VR Image Stabilization System
• 12.1-megapixel sensor ISO 6400 sensitivity
• A 2.7-inch LCD in back
• Scene Auto Selector Mode
• VGA 30 FPS movie mode with sound
• Subject Tracking
• Nikon’s Smart Portrait System and movie mode

This Nikon Coolpix S1000pj digital camera uses a lithium ion battery and SD/SDHC memory cards. It also features Nikon’s Smart Portrait system with smile, face, redeye removal, blink detection and skin softening.

In September 2009, the Nikon Coolpix S1000pj projector camera will be available in Matte black at a price of $429.95.

Nikon has also launched the Nikon Coolpix S70, S640 and S570. The Nikon Coolpix S70 comes without the built-in projector, has the similar specs as the Nikon Coolpix S1000 pj projector camera, except for an OLED touch screen.

So, I am going to save my pennies this month. What about you?
