November 18, 2010 No Comment
As far as we know, the western hemisphere should still have the mirrorless GF2 from Panasonic penciled in on its January 2011 must-own list, but Japan is (predictably) getting the party started a little early. Panny has shot out a brief statement this morning to say that its home nation will receive the GF2 — alternately attired in red, white or black — on the 3rd of December. That’s a good couple of weeks before we expected to even have pricing for North America and Europe, leaving the rest of us to just pout and stare at the calendar with disdain. And if pricing is what you need, Impress has some of its usually deadly accurate estimates to offer you, with the GF2 body set to cost

By the time Qualcomm’s 1.5GHz QSD8672 Snapdragon finally makes it to market , it might be obsolete — the company just announced that the new 28nm dual-core MSM8960 system-on-a-chip will have five times the performance and consume 75 percent less power than the original Snapdragon when it arrives in 2011. It’s got the usual WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth and FM radio modules but also a multi-mode LTE / 3G modem too, and reportedly four times the graphical muscle on board. Speaking of graphics, Qualcomm seperately took the time to detail a new GPU: the Qualcomm Adreno 300 series, which will allegedly offer the gaming performance of an Xbox 360 or PS3. We’d say “We’ll believe it when we see it,” but that would imply doubt — the reality is that we just want to feast our eyes on mobile gaming bliss as soon as humanly possible.

It’s hardly the most affordable Bluetooth speaker around, but Jawbone’s new Jambox did manage to impress us when we got our hands on it earlier this month , and you can now finally pick one up yourself directly from Jawbone, or at your local Apple store and “select” Best Buy stores. As expected, it’ll set you back $200, and it’s available in your choice of four different colors / designs, each of which pack the same 800mAh lithium-ion battery that promises ten hours of continuous use, a built-in mic that will let you use it as a speakerphone, and an output capacity of 85 decibels that Jawbone says “fills even the largest rooms with stellar hi-fi sound.” If you’re looking to judge that for yourself, you can apparently do so at an Apple store, where Jawbone says the Jambox will be “featured alongside the iPad.” Jawbone Jambox Bluetooth speaker now available for $200 originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 18 Nov 2010 01:10:00 EDT.
