Sony's Next Gen Alpha A900 DSLR: 25 Megapixels, Due By September

Sony's Alpha A900 practically blew us away when we first had an opportunity to grope it, which was way back during PMA '08 in January. Well, it looks like the Sony lads are again showing off their 25MP full-frame pro sensor toting DSLR in Japan, along with a launch date of August/September. Our pals at Master Chong were able to grab a whole slew of new images of the device, as well as shots of the neat looking, clear-bodied iteration pictured above. [Master Chong; Thanks, Felix]

Latest by SigmundTheSeaMonster: Is it FF (full frame)? Check! Lens made by whom? Carl Zeiss, Check! What kind of sensor (will it "average" the pixels..meh)? That's the key one...sensor. Oh, lastly, price? (Hey, it is a 24.6MP, not 25MP) Damn rounding it off... more »

Samsung SP-A800B DLP Looks as Good as Its Output

We got to see in person the Samsung's SP-A800B DLP projector. This beast is enormous and beautiful in person. The finish was sleek and glossy, as you can see in the pictures, and the output matched the looks.

Loewe's Design Studio TVs are Absolutely Fan-Bloody-tastic

Look what we found at Loewe: four fantastic concept TVs from their design studio. The white Concept Lowboard, red Connect Tripod, Docking Pot and Roundboard have all sorts of fabby extras, such as subwoofers, wireless connectivity pits and sexy mood lights in places you would least expect it. And two of the designs are pretty much dead certs to go on sale, according to our special friend at Loewe.

Kung-Fu Fighting the 19-Buck, Wii-Wannabe Way

On Monday, we hit up Halls 3.1, deep in the bowels of IFA. It was full of all the weird stuff from China, tiny MP3s, enormous back massagers that looked like floor polishers (or something from those videos that Chen enjoys so much). And then I found this, a Wii-style Kung-Fu game. Here's a lesson on how to look like a git in front of people you don't know at a trade fair.

Ghosts Chase Pac Man Across My Chest


Okay, short and sweet. Textile Interfaces designed the jacket, while the Lumalive light-up plate came courtesy of Philips. It's old promo-wear from Philips, but we got hold of one that plays Pac Man. On your chest &mdash well, mine, actually.

Hands-on with the Philips Aurea (Verdict: One for the Boudoir)

Philips' Aurea TV has been all over IFA, but what does its target market (Hey Lay-deez?) think about it. Well, while Jesus got a hunger for its form, Lindsay, Philips' PR person, and I had a discussion about where we would put it if we had one. And the verdict? In our bedrooms.

Die Modden Squadden, or a Lesson in Bad Taste

There were coffins, toilets, underwater landscapes that had everything except Mario swimming around looking for coins, a box file, a bikini babe and this thing. Honestly, wherever I go in my nightmares, Hello frackin' Kitty is there, waiting. Pass me the chainsaw, Helmut, and make it snappy: I've got a whole gallery to get through.

Hands-On and Slot Exploration with the Sexy Samsung Printers (Verdict: NeXT Flashback)

Last week we gave you the specs of Samsung's new Windows-, Linux- and Mac-compatible printers &mdash the ML-1630 is a monochrome laser printer, the SCX-4500 a 16 page-per-minute multi-function printer &mdash and yesterday we got to see them for ourselves. Glossy, smooth, they're the kind of printers that make you want to kick off your heels, sprawl on the top and start crooning "Makin' Whoopie." But first of all we wanted to know what the slot at the front of the ML-1630 was, so we beckoned over a Samsung gal... Updated after the jump

Fingers-On with the MP3 Lederhosen and Hunting Jacket

Consider the Bavarian hunting jacket with built-in MP3 controls. Consider it, and then wonder why you'd want to listen to oompah music while you blast away at anything in feathers, fur &mdash or if you're Dick Cheney, anyone who's standing too close to you. To drown out the screams, I suppose. There is also a pair of matching lederhosen as well, which we already covered earlier this year.

Sony's T200 Cybershot Photographs Smiles Automatically


In addition to a Carl Zeiss 5X zoom lens, 3.5" wide/touchscreen LCD, Sony's Cybershot T200 features a smile sensor that will automagically snag shots when your family and friends are pretending to enjoy your company. In this demonstration, the potential gimmick seems to actually work. Though you'll notice that the sensors have a tough time detecting profiles.

Harmon Kardon DVC600 Home Theater/Blu-ray Center Records 8 Simultaneous HD Channels

Sneaking into the future and concept area of Harmon Kardon's booth, we had a quick eyes-on with their DVC600 media center. Running their Unix-based home theater software, the DVC600 can record up to eight simultaneous HD shows. While we don't have a full spec rundown, we also know it will allow for recording and playback of Blu-ray discs. And while the 3,000-4,000 euro projected price tag will turn many consumers off when it's released this holiday season (at least in Europe, possibly US), it's a sleek system that can stylishly eliminate at least one component in your setup while not compromising power. Hit the rest of the gallery of the DVC600 in the context of HK's entire home theater setup.

Harman Kardon Experimenting with Disco Finishes for its TVs

This glittery little number caught my eye in the Harman Kardon tent. The US manufacturer has been experimenting with different finishes for its TVs and, at first glance it looks a bit Swarovski Whore, but when you get closer, Ooh! Zowie La-La, it's a mix of blue beads and jet drops (less offensive than it sounds.) And there's a shiny white one too.
