| JVC GR-D750
The final word: The GR-D750 is a solid little performer that punches well above its weight; offering impressive image quality for entry-level users. If you're on the lookout for a cheap miniDV camera, you could certainly do a lot worse than this. ON PAPER at least, the GR-D750 is the unmistakable runt of the JVC litter. With its low image resolution, rudimentary feature set and cheap looking design, we certainly weren't expecting much; yet it turns out that looks can be very deceiving. From its attractive price tag to its above average video performance, this is one of the best budget offerings we've seen in quite a while. It represents excellent value for money and is a perfect introduction to digital video - provided you can live without the bells and whistles. The GR-D750 is a standard-definition camcorder that records video to miniDV tapes.

Judicious Endorsement
At times during Sen. Patrick Leahy's endorsement of Barack Obama today, he sounded like he was endorsing Hillary Clinton. Leahy focused much of his praise on Obama's ability to restore America's reputation around the world, which is a usual talking point for Obama endorsers. But one of Leahy's lines evoked Clinton's brand of change as much as Obama's. From the press release: Barack Obama represents the America we once were and want to be again. ... Barack Obama will be a President who once again believes, "Yes, we can." Note Leahy's word choice here. We're not creating a new America, we're returning to the America we used to be, presumably before President Bush took office. Obama won't be a new kind of president, he'll be the kind of president we used to have, like, say, back in the Clinton years.

We were expecting some device announcements at Mobile World Congress from Nokia and the did not disappoint with the announcement of 4 new devices. They announced the Nokia 6220 Classic, 6210 Navigator, N78, and N96. I had the opportunity to meet with various product managers to talk about the devices and also took several pictures and some video that will be posted later when I get some time away from the show floor. The 6220 Classic is a very compact mobile phone designed for the person coming from a feature phone to the S60 platform who wants phone that excels in still photography since it has a Carl Zeiss 5-megapixel digital camera with a Xenon flash. It also has a GPS receiver and HSDPA support. Another of the 6000 series announced was the 6210 Navigator that focuses on and provides a great GPS experience.
