The Dext takes advantage of all the robot-y goodness of Google's Android operating system, and covers it with the special sauce of Motoblur, a user interface that brings all your social networking updates and contacts onto your phone. Hit play to see it in action on our hands-on video. http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39043844.htm http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39043844.htm Wed, 16 Sep 2009 17:58:28 +0000 feedback@cnet.co.uk (CNET UK staff) Apple is pitching the touchscreen, Web-browsing iPod touch -- now available with a whopping 64GB flash drive -- towards the gaming market with a speed hike over the previous model.

It may not look all that different to the previous version, but don't be fooled: the fifth-generation nano has a few surprises under the skin, not least of which is a video camera.

Let's start with the most noticeable feature -- the screen. It's a 102mm (4-inch) touchscreen beast, and extra-wide to boot. Videos look superb on it, and the phone's menus and apps take full advantage of its width, with more real estate on Web pages and email split between contacts and subjects. Hit play for more. http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39043717.htm http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39043717.htm Mon, 07 Sep 2009 11:51:53 +0000 feedback@cnet.co.uk (CNET UK staff) We have had a chance to test out the LG Watch Phone GD910, and it truly is a wondrous gadget to behold. The big question is, once the novelty wears off, how practical is it? Watch our video walkthrough to see how the video call, MP3, calendar and memo functions work and find out just what the strange key you get in the box is for. http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39043673.htm http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39043673.htm Wed, 02 Sep 2009 17:56:41 +0000 feedback@cnet.co.uk (CNET UK staff) We headed into London's West End for the official launch of the Samsung ST500 and ST550, two normal-looking compact cameras. But as you can see in our video, they have a unique feature just one tap away, and it's one for the kids -- a front-mounted touchscreen, so you can see easily take self-portraits for your social network profile page. Is it just a teenage gimmick, or something genuinely innovative? Click play to see for yourself. http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39043547.htm http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39043547.htm Fri, 21 Aug 2009 17:22:30 +0000 feedback@cnet.co.uk (CNET UK staff) We headed along to Samsung's launch event for the ST1000, a camera that bowled us over with its specs list. It may look like an unassuming if sleekly styled compact camera, but it's all going on under the bonnet. The ST1000 includes Bluetooth, GPS and Wi-Fi. It has a giant touchscreen and a 5x zoom.

The Eye has launched a new £5m immersive attraction involving a 3D film that also features wind, rain and the smell of fireworks -- hence '4D'. It'll certainly keep you amused for part of your wait for the Eye -- watch our video for a look behind the scenes. http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39043468.htm http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39043468.htm Thu, 13 Aug 2009 17:48:35 +0000 feedback@cnet.co.uk (CNET UK staff) There are some gadgets that just sound so daft that only getting your hands on it can win you over. So we were aching to try out the Nikon Coolpix S1000pj, the first digital camera with a built-in projector. Despite this, it's no bigger than any other 12-megapixel snapper with a 5x zoom. But the proof of the pudding is in the projecting, so we dimmed the lights and fired up the 10-lumen lamp. Hit play to see how it performed. http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39043437.htm http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39043437.htm Mon, 10 Aug 2009 17:31:00 +0000 feedback@cnet.co.uk (CNET UK staff) The Pen E-P1 is Olympus' first entry into the Micro Four Thirds lens system jointly developed with Panasonic. We headed for swinging London Town to get our hands on it in this video. The kitsch, classically styled E-P1 body is omits the mirror mechanism found in dSLRs, so you get the convenience and size benefits of digital photography with all the artistic merit of being able to change your lenses. http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39042969.htm http://videos.cnet.co.uk/39042969.htm Mon, 29 Jun 2009 13:00:36 +0000
