Last but not the least, Sony has taken the wraps off its latest NV-U71T nav-u handheld GPS system, which, according to me, is not quite as fancy as those new-fangled NV-U80 & NV-U81T units that were shown off by Sony last month. Yet the latest NV-U71T nav-u handheld GPS system clutches the entire GPS vitals into 3.5-inch touch screened unit, and perhaps is all set in time for the holidays just like its big brothers.

Triple Your Wi-Fi’s Signal Strength With Wi-Fire

hField Technologies’ Wi-Fire is a compact high-performance USB Wi-Fi Adapter for Mac and PC that extends the Wi-Fi range upwards of 1,000 feet. Being a college student, I am blessed with a blanketed campus, offering a strong Wi-Fi signal wherever I go, right? …. Well, wrong. Dreaded dead spots exist and, to my dismay, my dorm room seems to be the epicenter of a dead spot, a barren wasteland of former Wi-Fi signal.

My solutions included hardwiring—too easy. Setting up a router? Forbidden. And as this epic conundrum reached a head, an epiphany hit me like a ton of bricks (as they tend to do). However, this epiphany came in the form of a small device called the Wi-Fire from a startup company that I had never heard of. The device triples the power of the internal receptor, making it virtually impossible not to get a signal, regardless of where you are.

Canon EOS-1D Mark III Has Live-View LCD

Canon has announced its latest professional DSLR body, the Canon EOS-1D Mark III. Not only is it Canon’s first DSLR with live-view LCD, it is also capable of bursting 10 whooping frames per second. That’s the fastest ever on a DSLR!

Canon claims that its new sensor is their most light-sensitive ever, reaching up to an ISO of 6,400. Its APS-H sensor size with 1.3x fov crop remains the same as its predecessor, the EOS-1D Mark II (not to be confused with EOS-1Ds Mark II which is full-frame).

And another less surprising feature is the EOS Integrated Cleaning System, which vibrates the sensor for 3.5 seconds, shaking off any dust stuck on it.

Other Features:

• 10.1-megapixel
• Dual DIGIC III image processor engine
• 3-inch LCD with live-viewing
• 45-points AF module, with 19 of them being high-precision cross-type
• New LC-E4 Lithium-ion battery pack for up to 2200 shots per charge

Price has yet been announced, but Canon says it’ll be similar to that of the EOS-1D Mark II. It should start hitting shelves sometime in Spring. Pro-shooters using EOS-1D Mark II, start saving now!
