Everyone in the camera and camcorder world has been going a little 3-D of late, but hopefully a new projector phase will quickly steer us well clear. And the Sony HDR-PJ50V Camcorder is a fine effort to take a stranglehold on the market. Packing a 220GB HDD built-in, able to record up to 91 hours of footage in LP mode, at max res. it’ll hit a full 1920×1080 HD 60p, all through a wide angle G lens, razor-sharp ‘Exmore R’ CMOS sensor, 17x extended zoom and 3″ touch screen for good measure too. The projector though is what really matters, and hook this up in front of a wall and it’ll output at up to 60″ in size, perfect for family memories and amateur movie projects alike.

Certainly what your iMac needs, is a slipper. Just look at its little foot, doesn’t it look cold and lonely? And yet jokes aside, I do really want to buy one. Hard Graft’s Slipper will fit Apple Cinema Displays too.

Poketo’s Clé USB memory sticks are the biggest in the world – packing only 2GB – nor are they probably the fastest, but boy are they cute. Whoever needed speed or size anyway? Well, everyone, but ignore that.

Konkreet Labs‘ Performer iPad app might not create music for you, but instead lets you control anything that receives OSC or MIDI, and in a pretty mind-bending, and sumptuously visual way. Don’t understand just on earth all the shapes, waves and swirls work? Well, we didn’t either, but once you just into it, it’s a pretty wonderful system, though I’m not sure if we’d trust it just yet from on-stage. You can grab it in the App Store here.

With Kevlar reinforced cables, a dual micro armature with separate tweeter and woofer for increased range and fidelity and a stainless steel housing with noise isolating silicone sleeves (yeah, these are pretty high-tech. headphones), Nocs’ NS800 Stainless Steel Earphones put Apple’s stock earbuds to shame, never mind much of Sennheiser or Bose’s models.
