"It lacks Apollo IM's run-in-the-background features"

What??

Have you tried it?

It does have that feature, you could even receive messages with the iPhone in sleep mode..

And it doesn't disconnects when you switch between EDGE & WiFi.. Or when you receive a call..

It's really great..

@Rob..
No, currently there is no support for .Mac accounts. Only AIM. But you can send messages to .Mac contacts..

I'm looking for a solution to copy .Mac contacts to my AIM account...

"To be fair, the HD2 is taller, but slimmer." No, is not.
Canon is 3,50"x2,36"x1,14" and Sanyo is 3.1"x4.7"x1.4"..

"It's AVI compressed with the MJPEG codec (which is lossy btw)." But much less lossy than MPEG-4 or MPEG-2..

This camera, with MJPEG video at a bitrate of 35,84Mbits/second should provide VERY HIGH QUALITY.. For its size..

It's less than half the size of Sanyo HD2 at 9,41 cubic inches vs 20,39 cubic inches..

@ Todd

"My questions are: Does it have a firewire port" No, Only USB, but you could always use a firewire SDHC card reader if you want to go faster ;)

"the standard for video transfer? Does it have a 16:9 lower resolution mode, like 720x480 (DVD resolution)?" Apparently not, the only 16:9 video mode is 1280x720..

What i don't understand is how is possible that the Canon camera produces bigger files at half the bitrate of the Sanyo HD2..

I suppose that there might be some wrong numbers, or the 4,48Mbps refers to Megabytes/sec instead of Mbits/sec..
Which will be 35,84Mbits per second.. (The maximum bitrate of the Sanyo HD2 is 9Mbits per second..)
35,84Mbps should provide pretty good quality in MJPEG, probably even better than the Mpeg-4 files of the Sanyo..

The 4,48 Mbytes/second figure seems right, that means around 13-14 minutes of recording in a 4Gb card like the article says..

We'll find out what camera offers more quality soon.. PMA is coming ;)

¿Did i hear Aperture 2.0?

@Tones Jom

You have some reason.. We now know the bitrates that the PowerShoot TX1 handles..

"In video mode, the camera records footage using Motion JPEG compression at data rates of up to 4.48Mbps at 720p/30fps. The other video quality settings include 720p/30fps LP (2.28Mbps); 640x480/30 fps (1.92Mbps); 640x480/30 fps LP (1.02Mbps); 320x240/60 fps (1.37Mbps); 320x240/30 fps (.746Mbps). Video and stills can be recorded to SD/SDHC, MMC, and MMC Plus flash memory cards at capacities up to 4GB."

4.48Mbps at 720p/30fps.

@DHC

Yeah.. But de Sanyo does not have an optical image stabilizer, canon lens, and costs 200$ more..
The Sanyo HD2 is much bigger than this Canon.. 8.3 ounces & 3.1x4.7"x 1.4" vs 7.8 ounces & 3.5"x2.4"x1.1".

BTW I prefer "uncompressed" or less lousy codec video to Mpeg-4 (not Mpeg-2, not even h.264) video..

This Canon PowerShot TX1 is the smallest HD 720p camera in the world! ;)
The video format/size isn't a problem because this camera supports SDHC.. So you will be able to use 32Gb SDHC cards that will come out around Q407..

I'm sold unless Panasonic has a response to this Canon camera.. (The Lumix LX2 also has 720p video recording, but only at 15fps, i was waiting to the LX3/LX4..)

Well, this girl is stupid..
The iPod nano and 5G Video has already lyrics support..
See selfmade video captured with a nokia 6600 (sorry for the low quality..)

Ameen, the 30Gb video iPod costs 299$...

"almighty you-know-who"

You mean the Apple iPod? :P

@ MegaWatts

Mac Os X 10.1 Puma was a free update...

Sebhelyesfarku, guy, you are a fanboy and an Apple hater.. that is obvious..

No,Apple laptops or computers aren't overpriced, and no, they aren't made in the same factories as Dell computers, neither they follow the same quality controls..

Anyway, if they use the same components as the Dells, where is the Dell notebook with MagSafe or Similar? Polymer-lithium Battery? Dual-Link DVI? Optical 5.1 Audio Ports?....

The thinnest Dell notebook is 1,44", and the lightest 15,4" notebook 6.18lbs
vs 1" and 5.6lbs of Apple notebook

Sorry for my bad english, i'm spanish.. BTW, what is the translation of "douchebag"?
