iPhone 2-way Video Conferencing
Here’s a cool invention; a mirror attachment for video conferencing on your iPhone. It works simply by capturing the video from the iPhone sending it to a web server to another iPhone. Keep in mind that it doesn’t have audio. Within a phone call away and a matter of starting up the software and you’re ready. Now you can check yourself out before having a naughty video chat with your hot internet girlfriend. Unfortunately the application download for this is not yet available. So you can’t see her hot bod just yet! ;-)

The Canon HG10 High Definition Camcorder is the first Canon [tag]camcorder[/tag] to record on a hard disk drive. The Camcorder Info people reviewed all the features starting with the glass lens with the 10x optical zoom. Next, the grip is comfortable when you actually hold it in your hands, and it features zoom control which is “pro grade”. They don’t think much of the AVCHD code because it gives off a noticeable blur when in motion. Even though a lot of the features have some flaws to correct, they still call it the best HDD camcorder available.
