Pentax’s 31.6 megapixel medium-format 645 Digital has been announced for over a year now — we’ve even seen one in the flesh — but it’s never actually shipped, and now it looks like it never will. According to Impress, Pentax is killing off its digital medium format cameras to focus on K-series DSLRs, but the 645’s film versions will live on. Considering the ever-more-competitive field of excellent prosumer cams out there, we can’t say we fault the decision, but if there are any engineering samples lying around, we’ll be happy to take ‘em off Pentax’s hands.

Twitter seems to get a few reactions from users and/or potential users; those who love it, those who hate it and those who simply do not understand. While those of us who love Twitter may not be able to help the haters, the following 2.5 minute video may just be enough to convert those who cannot understand.

Tired of the standard old baby names, trying to think of something unique to hopefully have your newborn standout a little. Well look no further than your phonetic SMS spellings, or mis-spellings as they really are. According to the Thaindian News in addition to a corruption of the English language we are also seeing an unusually high amount of mis-spellings in baby names.

“The use of a ‘y’ instead of an ‘i’ has hit epidemic proportions, as has the use of ‘k’ over ‘c’ like in the names Jaykob and Lynkon, double letters like Siimon and Chriss and hyphens like Emma-Lee,” News.com.au quoted McCrindle, of private research agency McCrindle Research, as saying.

While we certainly cannot disagree with anyone trying to stand out a little, lets remember our kids are going to have to deal with these names and likely mispronunciations their entire life, or at least until they get old enough to take control and officially change their name.

All the major players in the tech industry are starting to get really serious about touch screens, if they haven’t been already in the past year. One such company is Sony Ericsson, one of the leading mobile phone manufacturers in the world. A newly discovered patent application it’s filed back in 2006 reveals that it has plans of making a similar device to the Apple iPhone, blending the features of a cellphone, music player, mobile computer, and even that of a Sony playstation Portable (PSP) into one awesome handheld multimedia device.

With this recent discovery, rumors about an upcoming PSP syle phone become more imminent, and perhaps it will only be a matter of time until Sony Ericsson makes an official announcement about the said matter. But reading through the August 2006 patent application made by Sony Ericsson, one will find that this particular device is actually planned to be more than an update to today’s vanilla, button-filled Sony PSP.

With a full touchscreen facade, there is no room for any hardware buttons so the compromise would have to come from the innards of the machine and the software that it packs. Consider the Apple iPhone or ipod Touch with the addition of haptics feedback on top plus a touch-based Sony PSP and this is what you’ll get. The patent itself actually bears a lot of resemblance to the one filed by Apple for its own touch-based user interface (currently being used on iPhone and iPod Touch). But according to a report from Unwired View, Sony Ericsson did not violate any copyrights or copy from any of Apple’s concepts, taking into account the fact that Sony Ericsson’s patent was filed on August 30, 2006 - Several months before the iPhone was introduced, and a week before the main iphone patent application became public.

The first samples of devices borrowing features from this concept are the soon to be released Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 and the still unconfirmed Sony Ericsson P5i.

Up to now, details about the final product specs and appearance are still sketchy, but according to the information in this patent application, these are the features to watch out for:

• Full touchscreen display
• Accelerometer
• Other orientation sensors (possibly an ambient light sensor and proximity sensors)
• Haptics feedback
• Internet connectivity
• Software that allows the user interface to change according to the feature being used (phone, camera, music player, and of course, PSP)

As of now, most of the things listed here are just possibilities, and in most cases should not be trusted because not all patents come to realize existence. But then again, we’re talking about Sony Ericsson here, who’s top dog when it comes to making the best cellphones that money can buy (OK, maybe not top dog, but one of the top dogs). Until the day the final product is released though, all we can do is wait. And OK, don’t worry. All you fan boys can still dream.

Going in extreme contrast to the newest Swiftpoint mice from Simtrix, you’d imagine the Jupiter mouse (pictured above) to be something you’d find in your local stationery shop, down the paperweights section. But believe it or not, the Jupiter mouse is not just a concept, but a new kind of mouse that really works as a navigation device for your computer. It got its name from the obvious resemblance to the Big Red Planet, not to mention the presence of that big swirl smack in the middle of it, looking just like the big storms on Jupiter (the planet) itself. How does it work? Crazy like no other, if you ask me. Actually, to scroll right, you just tilt it towards that direction. Ditto for trying to scroll left, up or down, I suppose. The tilt sensors also work to regulate the speeds at which the cursor scrolls, depending on the user’s commands, of course. Currently, it’s available in Japan for only ¥ 13 980 (or around $135 US), but you have to wonder, who’d want those? Maybe a techie environmentalist with an interest in astronomy? Well?

In a move similar to Circuit City, but not quite as generous an offer, Canada’s Future Shop is helping those customers that were unfortunate enough to commit to the now dead HD DVD format.

The offer from Future Shop does have some nice points and some limitations. First off they are accepting standalone HD DVD players that were purchased anywhere. The offer gives customers $100 that they can use to purchase either an LG or Samsung Blu-ray/HD DVD combo player. This does mean that you have a pretty limited selection, but at least you can still play any HD DVD movies that you already purchased, plus any new Blu-ray titles that you pick up in the future.

If you are looking to trade-in your hd dvd player you may want to act quickly, the offer ends on April 3, 2008. The players that Future Shop receives from the trade-in program will all be donated to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada so they can be used in their after-school and evening programs.

Given the fact that most (all?) 3G USB modems won’t even fit in the macbook air’s ultra-cramped USB port, it’s practically a foregone conclusion that some of that sex appeal is going to be forfeited when busting out a dongle to keep using your current wares. Enter the AirQueue, which is hailed as the first USB extender designed specifically to work with the MBA — whatever that means. Truth be told, we can’t figure out exactly what makes this any different than other extenders made for helping folks out in a squeeze, but at least it’s only $6, right? Oh, and if you’re aiming to make things extra unsightly, be sure and pick up the pictured $38 ExpressCard adapter — your coffee shop style quotient will be tanked in no time.
