Join Samsung introduces the inTouch camera for the HDTV
Some of you might remember when we covered the Biscotti, which enables HDTV video chats. Samsung recently unveiled a similar product with the inTouch.
The inTouch is a 3 Megapixel camera that is designed for video chats, and a lot more. Unlike the Biscotti, which allows for communicating with GTalk members and other Biscotti users, the InTouch uses Skype, a very popular video chatting application.
The inTouch also comes with a remote control that has a QWERTY keyboard plus a numerical one. This is also an improvement over a Biscotti, as the remote only allows for arrow keys and makes it very difficult in setting up or entering in contact information. This keyboard will enable you for web browsing.

Vuzix Corporation’s SMART Glasses Technology unveiled
When it comes to viewing your favorite movies, there is nothing quite like getting up close and personal with the movie in question. After all, why do you think that people prefer to go to the cinemas? I am not only referring to the superb audio system that cinemas deliver, there is also the issue of having “in your face” images and moments of action that cannot be replicated on a small screen. Trust me on this, when you have watched movies in IMAX such as Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, you would want to wish that most movies would be shot in IMAX after that. Vuzix knowns a thing or two about personal movie theaters, or rather, glasses that you wear where it projects an image size as though you were sitting a few get away from an 85” display. CES 2012 will see Vuzix Corporation introduce its SMART Glasses Technology.

Sony Ericsson Fans: Now Hear These!
The LiveSound™ hi-fi headset, for exclusive use with most Sony Ericsson phones treats your ears, enables hands free operation and keeps you looking stylish. Having received a pair to test I found it gives a rich, full sound. Though many earbuds lose sound quality, LiveSound headset held on to highs and lows and did a great job in isolating from outside noise. As a headset the microphone easily picked up my conversation too. Music was automatically paused for incoming calls and resumed upon hang up.

How Biscotti can enable video chats
I recently read an article about how The Jetsons was supposed to take place in the year 2062, which is about one hundred years from when it first premiered in 1962. We are about halfway there at 2012, and while we don’t have the flying cars, we do have video chatting.
The video chats on the Jetsons were always done with giant-sized TV displays, rather than the corner of the screen that we normally do it with on Skype or Google Talk. I believe that Biscotti, which we have reported about before, will give us all the video chats that the Jetsons have.
I finally had a chance to try out the Biscotti, and even though I tried it out on my own HDTV to communicate with a computer less than fifty feet away, I felt like I was finally arriving in the future. The Biscotti allows me to take a video call on my giant screen living room television, just like Marty McFly in Back to the Future II.

Everyone should have a favorite song – or at least a pretty reasonable list of them, and in order to maximize your enjoyment of those songs, you will obviously need a high quality recording version of the tune, in addition to having good hardware to go along with it. For those who tend to do a whole lot of traveling and listen to their music on-the-go, a decent pair of headphones or earphones are always more than welcome, and NuForce has got your back with their latest releases – the NE-600X and NE-770X models.
Thanks to NuForce’s knowledge of the industry, they have consistently received high amounts of praise from audiophiles and consumers alike where high-performance audio products are concerned, and it does seem to look to me as though these two earbuds are continued proof of that expertise.
