IMOBILE's Flying C1000 phone / PDA / PMP / watch
You wouldn't think you'd be able to fit a GSM phone, PDA (with stylus), and regular old "watch" functions into into a "stylish" package like the IMOBILE Flying C1000... but you'd be wrong. Dead wrong. Feast your eyes on the latest and greatest wrist-related marvel out of China -- a tiny phone with a touchscreen, Bluetooth support, 60MB of RAM, a video / audio player, a mini USB jack, and possibly a camera (though it's quite hard to tell from the photos). The watch seems to share at least guts (if not design) with SMS Technology's M500, and of course we've seen phone watches and PMP watches, but never before has it all been pulled together in such an "attractive" package. The C1000 also appears to be both 2G- and 3G-ready, thus allowing you to browse large, image-heavy webpages on the tiniest screen ever made. No word on price and availability, but you can be sure the Engadget staff is doing everything possible to get the team equipped with these.
Chunbo unveils minigigi C1000 and C2000 boringDAPs
Sorry Chunbo, but you'll have to try harder than this. These new "minigigi" players, the C1000 and C2000 are decent enough, and the 159,000 won ($170) and 89,000 won ($95) pricetags are passable for 2GB players, but there's nothing that really sticks out here. The C2000 sports a 2-inch LCD, video playback, e-books, 25fps video, games and FM radio, while the specs on the OLED C1000 seem to be a little confused, but should encompass most of those features, minus the video and games stuff. Both players look to be well built, but we're not sure we can stop yawning long enough to care. Peep the C1000 after the break.Read - Chunbo C2000Read - Chunbo C1000
BenQ's new consumer cams, the C540, C740 and C1000
As Photokina looms ever nearer, camera manufacturers continue their stream of announcements, and BenQ seems to think today's their lucky day. They've got three new ones to show, and there seem to be plenty of megapixels and piddling feature sets between them. Headlining the trio is the C1000 (pictured), which packs a 10 megapixel CCD, 3x zoom and 2.4-inch LCD. There's also 24MB of built-in memory, an 8 second shutter night scene mode, and quick 4 continuous shot mode -- exciting, we know. Next up there's the C540 and C740, which bump the LCD size to a whole 2.5-inches, and manage 5 and 7 megapixels respectively. Both of the cams feature a "Shake-Free" mode, along with 1000 ISO sensitivity for extra nighttime fun. Yeah, not a whole lotta excitement to be had here, but at least these three cams should be fairly cheap when they drop in September. Keep reading for pics of the C540 and C740.Read - BenQ DC C540Read - BenQ DC C740Read - BenQ DC C1000
