Mobile phones, digital camcorders, Flip video, webcam video, ipod Touch, iPhones and iPads, and a few more. All record video but they often code the video in different formats.

The Smallest ..........

It's clear just how small nVidia's platform is. The board is small enough that not all of the component points fit on one side - so the RAM SO DIMM slot and a single SATA connector are on the reverse to the chipset and CPU. The sample machine really shows just how much can be crammed into a small space using 9400M. It's a good indicator of what OEMs will be able to accomplish with systems that are actually made available to buy - which nVidia's wont




Six USB ports, optical digital and analogue audio connectors, and a pair of e-SATA ports at the front alongside VGA, DVI and HDMI outputs, a further USB port and an Ethernet jack at the back blow all current Intel-based solutions out of the water on the connectivity front.
There there's 9400M's ability to decode up to 25Mbps HD video and output 8 channel (7.1 surround) Linear PCM audio over HDMI. Throw in nVidia's claim that Ion should offer the same battery life as Intel's netbook platform, but taking up half the size!

If you're familiar with the Nintendo Wii controller or Gyration's mice, you'll get the idea behind the new Logitech mouse, although the underlying technology isn't quite the same. With the Gyration mouse, you need to point the device directly at your computer. Logitech's MX Air Mouse simply interprets how you move the mouse, regardless of where you point it. You can aim it at the ground and the cursor will move properly on your screen, which means you can be a little more casual when you use your home theater PC. It also works as a standard table-top wireless mouse.

In addition to letting your arm be lazier, Logitech has incorporated a few gesture controls. Flick it from side to side and you'll bring the volume up and down, for example. It also replaced the scroll wheel with a touch-sensitive strip between the two buttons. The strip felt normal enough when we got to play with an early version of it, and it worked much better than the touch-sensitive cursor pad and volume control on Logitech's diNovo Edge keyboard. There's also a few media control buttons on the new mouse, although we have a feeling they'll take some getting used to before they feel as natural as they might on a standard remote control.

The $150 cost of entry for the MX Air Mouse puts this device firmly in luxury territory, so we expect that those boutique home theater PC vendors who love pricey add-ons will scoop this up right away. It hits retail shelves in August, although we don't expect that this will be the last of this kind of product. The technology behind this motion-sensing capability, called MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical-systems), is the same underlying tech that keeps the Segway properly balanced. We expect to see more devices that use MEMS, as the price has finally become affordable to the mass market.

YouTube on your Apple Tv

Starting this month, Apple TV users will be able to select "YouTube" as an option from the device's main menu and view thousands of the most viewed and most popular videos on the site.

Apple TV is designed to connect a wide-screen television with content purchased or downloaded over the Internet by a Mac or PC. Until now, however, Apple TV users looking for content were mostly dependent on television programs or movies they had purchased through the iTunes Store. There's no browser inside the interface that would let users access other Internet videos, though they could move their home videos to Apple TV.

Now, Apple has designed a hook into YouTube that will let Apple TV owners access the most popular videos that have been converted into the h.264 standard, said David Moody, vice president for Mac hardware marketing at Apple. The full catalog of YouTube videos will be available later in the year, as YouTube converts the rest, Moody said.
