Lightning Review: VholdR Wearable Sport Camcorder [Lightning Review]
In honor of the upcoming Tahoe reader meetup on April 5th at Alpine Meadows, I’m going to be doing end of season reviews of some outdoor gadgetry that’s been floating around the cabin.
The Gadget: A camera meant for outdoor junkies. Has laser pointers for aiming the cam, helmet, handlebar, and goggle mounts, and a waterproofed case. Records to 640 x 480 quality MPEG-4 video in decent quality. 50 minutes per GB. Aluminum and fiberglass case.
The Performance: Two hours of battery life. Doesn’t feel like its top quality in build. Slightly grainy, but videos are perfectly acceptable. (That’s a link to the company’s vids, which are representative, but also a lot more interesting than my bunny hops. Charges by USB. For $350, I wish it came with a MicroSD card. Thumbs up. [Guest editor’s note: What’s thumbs up? What do you mean thumbs up, sucker? Who is going to wear that thing on his head, you fool? Only fools like you and Murdoch, that’s who! I ain’t getting that thing on my head!]
T-Mobile snags the BlackBerry Pearl 8120 on April 14th
Filed under: Cellphones
April 14th — just like we expected, that’s the date T-Mobile subscribers will gain access to the WiFi totin’ BlackBerry Pearl 8120. Unlike AT&T’s offering, that’s WiFi for voice and data thanks to T-Mobile’s HotSpot @Home service. EDGE data, 2 megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth, 3.5-mm headphone jack, SureType keyboard, and microSD / SDHC expansion for your multimedia round out the specs quite nicely. Now all we need is the price, right T-Mob?

The Mist: Two-Disc Collector’s Edition
DVD Talk Collector Series
In his third venture into Stephen King’s pot of narrative gold, Frank Darabont opts for thrills and chills with a creature feature, The Mist. That’s right - the writer / director of The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile has dug his claws in to craft something that lashes on the nerves instead of the heart. It’s a different type of film for the Oscar-nominated Darabont, seeing as how his experience in the horror world has dwindled since his more dramatic focus has harnessed a fond momentum. Versatility is the key here, something that he displays admirably in his throwback to classic horror. Adapting a novella about the horrors of weak morality and mentality amidst almost Biblically monstrous cataclysm could be a tricky task to pull off with originality, let alone grace; Darabont’s The Mist does just this with unrelenting anxiety and disheartening human critique. <B…Read the entire review
