Lots of camcorder experts hated the Sanyo Xacti HD1’s flash camcorder’s quality, despite its 720p HD resolution. This update, the HD2, tackles the issue of lousy low light sensitivity with a 7.38 MPixel CCD. (It’ll now work in 12.5 lux, while the older one only went as low as 50 lux.) That’s good, because I…

Mitsubishi’s latest phone for NTT Docomo (in Japan) shares a shocking resemblance to the Nintendo DS: white, dual-screen and the bottom screen being a touchscreen. Even more coincidental, the name of…
