Lets be honest, we've all had those moments where we've wanted to hit our phone with a hammer or throw our laptop against the wall. Generally though, we resist those urges, knowing full well that it would spell the end for our precious gadget. There's a special class of rugged devices though, that are designed to withstand anything you throw at it -- or throw it at, as the case may be. We took a few of these beefy products, as well as one Extreme Sleeve for your non-military grade electronics, and put them through a battery of tests that would turn your average gadget into an unrecognizable pile of silicon and plastic. Head on after the break for a dose of dramatic destruction porn and to find out how this bevy of brawny portables held up against our gratuitous onslaught.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/01/rugged-gadgets-put-to-the-test-in-engadget-labs-wanton-destruct/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Rugged gadgets put to the test in Engadget labs, wanton destruction ensues</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/01/rugged-gadgets-put-to-the-test-in-engadget-labs-wanton-destruct/">Rugged gadgets put to the test in Engadget labs, wanton destruction ensues</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Fri, 01 Jul 2011 17:00:00 EST.

We have plenty of gripes with the current crop of pocket cameras, most of them to do with image quality: grainy footage, poor (laughable) low-light performance, a lack of autofocus, digital zoom, gimmicky 1080p, and so forth. The new <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/kodak-deals-slice-touchscreen-camera-pulse-digiframe-and-playsp/">Kodak PlaySport Zx3 HD Waterproof Video Camera</a> solves none of those problems. But you can put it underwater. So, all is forgiven. Follow after the break for our full review.<p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/kodak-playsport-zx3-waterproof-hd-camera-review/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Kodak PlaySport Zx3 waterproof HD camera review</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/27/kodak-playsport-zx3-waterproof-hd-camera-review/">Kodak PlaySport Zx3 waterproof HD camera review</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 27 May 2010 11:05:00 EST.

We're not sure why Kodak is pushing its new <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/kodak-deals-slice-touchscreen-camera-pulse-digiframe-and-playsp/">Slice  touchscreen camera</a> out to JCPenney before any of the usual retail  suspects, but there it is, looking radiant in "Radish" and marked up  with a $100 premium over the usual $349 list price. If that doesn't make  any sense to you, you can also grab the 14 megapixel shooter with the  3.5-inch display, 720p video capture, and built-in search for $349 from  JR.com or Kodak. Kodak's also got the seven-inch <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/kodak-deals-slice-touchscreen-camera-pulse-digiframe-and-playsp/">Pulse  WiFi digiframe</a> that pulls photos from Facebook and the new <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/kodak-deals-slice-touchscreen-camera-pulse-digiframe-and-playsp/">PlaySport  1080p waterproof pocket camcorder</a> up for sale now as well, at $129  and $149, respectively -- and yes, you can buy those from Penney's at a  markup if you like, because the very fabric of our relationship to  reality is unraveling in a heap on the floor of the Juniors department.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/01/kodak-slice-touchscreen-camera-pulse-wifi-frame-and-playsport/">Kodak Slice touchscreen camera, Pulse WiFi frame, and PlaySport pocket camcorder now on sale... at JC Penney</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Thu, 01 Apr 2010 13:11:00 EST.

<div>Where do you show most of your digital photos to friends? Probably via Facebook or Flickr or the like, but many consumers simply do the most logical thing: turn their camera around and squint at the dinky LCD. That was the idea behind the Slice, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/kodak-deals-slice-touchscreen-camera-pulse-digiframe-and-playsp/">announced yesterday</a> and more or less designed around a lovely 3.5-inch touchscreen that may not be quite as big as a 4 x 6 print, but it's far more versatile. The 14 megapixel camera has a solid feel in the hand and looks great. For those feeling a little more adventurous there's the 1080p Playsport camcorder, which looks and feels more or less like a beefy <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/flip">Flip</a>. To prove its disrespect toward moisture, the camera was unceremoniously plunked into a fish bowl, where it seemed hardly perturbed. Finally is the Pulse digital photo frame, a somewhat pedestrian-looking seven-inch, 800 x 600 model that sports the ability to receive photos via e-mail, so you can shoot those pics of the grandkids off to nanna without her having to touch a thing. Pictures of all that and a pair of <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/kodak-deals-slice-touchscreen-camera-pulse-digiframe-and-playsp/">new EasyShare models</a> in the gallery below. Oh, and a crab, too.<br />

Just in case you had any doubts, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/CES/">CES</a> is in full swing. <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Kodak/">Kodak</a> just blurted out a galleria of new goods, starting with the all-new Slice touchscreen camera (shown above). As you likely expected, this is the outfit's first touchscreen P&amp;S, boasting a 3.5-inch rear display, a search function to sift through "up to 5,000" photos on the internal memory, a direct tag feature, 14 megapixel sensor, 5x optical zoom, built-in optical image stabilization and 720p (30fps) video capture. It'll ship this April in black, nickel and radish (yeah kids, <i>radish</i>) for $349.95. Next up is the April-bound Pulse digital photo frame, which boasts a 7-inch display (800 x 600 resolution), integrated WiFi, 512MB of storage and a $129.99 price tag. Rounding out the bunch is a load of new EasyShare cameras (all detailed in the press release below), as well as a Playsport camcorder, which offers up waterproof 1080p action with electronic image stabilization, a 2-inch LCD, 5 megapixel still shots, smart face tracking technology and an SD / SDHC card slot. There's also an HDMI output and USB connectivity, and you'll find black, blue and purple editions shipping this April for $149.95. You're stoked, aren't you?<br />
