J.D. Lasica of Online Journalism Review has put together a list of essential gear for any multimedia newsroom. He says:
These aren’t pie-in-the-sky gizmos for a futuristic newsroom – they’re practical, field-tested technologies that work together and help news organizations meet the audio, video and text-based needs of their audience today.
Among the items listed: the Logitech io Personal Digital Pen; the Sony ICD-MS515 digital voice recorder (pictured above); the Linksys WPG11 wireless presentation gateway, which lets any computer within range wirelessly connect to a screen or projector attached to the gateway; the Archos Jukebox Multimedia; Sony Ericsson T68 cellphone; the Acer TravelMate C100 convertible Tablet PC; the iBook from Apple; Sony Mavica MVC-CD250 digital camera; the JVC GY-DV300U Streamcorder video camera; and the Lapworks Laptop Desk Version 2.0.
