Don’t be fooled – this is no toy, but rather a fully-functional, limited edition Pentax K-x SLR camera. This new model combines solid photographic performance with a wide array of advanced features and compact, lightweight body. But the best thing about it is the new colorful body inspired by the so-called Kore Ja Nai robo toy. Only 100 robotic colors K-x’s will be released in Japan this month when they’ll be sold exclusively through Pentax’s online store at $880. If you miss out on the robotic one there are 100 other colors to pick from.

Client vs Designer
“If you can type you can make movies”. That is the slogan and concept behind Xtranormal, a web based company that allows you to create animations just by typing the story. The software allows you to drag and drop animations, choose from international voices, and choose your own characters and sets – all in a matter of minutes. Xtranormal has really brought movie-making to the people with this. A brilliant idea but I can see some controversy stirring around this bit.
I have chosen a few funny animations to check out and I am looking forward to seeing some grade A animations as soon as this software spreads a bit more. Enjoy!

TechCrunch is working on this beautiful ‘CrunchPad‘ Web Tablet and just received their first prototype! A Beauty, they are trying to finish it with a $200 retail price Only!! (probably will be around the $300 at the end) but the screen is now flush with the case and they decreased the overall thickness to about 18 mm. The case will be aluminum, which is more expensive than plastic but is sturdier and lets them shave a little more off the overall thickness of the device. Their partner Fusion Garage continues to drive the software forward and they are in deep discussions with key partners to bring the device to market. If you’d like to see the previous CrunchPad in action watch the Video Below – More info on TechCrunch.com
