Gadgetory

hi I'm Molly would add welcome to the buzz report the show about the tech news that everyone is talking about this week I got to go to Vegas and drink martinis and poor bill gates as kids didn't get to have any ipods let's begin in Vegas with the gadget of the week the gadget of the week is what is most likely my new camera the sony cybershot DSC HX one which unfortunately they have tether to this desk here it was unveiled at PMA 2009 here in Las Vegas and I have to say it caused quite a sensation the deal with this camera is that it has super fast high-quality burst mode so that I could take a bunch of pictures as my child is he's running across the room it has mega zoom so that I could zoom in really close on my child it does this amazing panorama so that i could get every single moment of my childs baseball swing and it takes high def video for when I want to take high def video of my child possibly I need more things to take pictures up but it's a really great camera so I'm coming to you from PMA 2009 which is the photo marketing association annual trade show it's a digital camera show I can understand why you might have a hard time telling that is a digital camera show since I'm sitting in an Aston Martin but I have a rule that if there's an Aston Martin around I stayed in it anyway this car is part of the digital experience party which is part of PMA 2009 it's james bond themed but i have to say I've been surprised at how many non camera related things I've run into at this show now let's do you think that this camera show is only for cameras there are tons of accessories here including some camera bags designed specially for girls how does pink really pink but here's the thing there aren't actually any girls here and everybody only wants to see this bag the crumpler which has this cool new feature where you can cover up the velcro so you don't make any noise and then you don't piss people off in every press conference like Charlie does Charlie and this is the my studio from pro psychics basically for taking really high quality pictures of your really small valuable items I totally saw this thing in skymall on the plane on the way out here but they tell me this one's way better wave but obviously PMA is about a lot more than Aston Martin's and funny little bags there were plenty of actual cameras too and pretty much I did video and almost all of them you can see all our PMA coverage at cnet TV com now back to the news yes indeed the news facebook announced that it's making some welcome changes to its homepage profile page and status updates for one thing they're getting rid of the 5,000 follower limit on public profile pages which thank goodness because people are beating down my door oh no sorry it's so that real celebrities in like Dell and coca-cola and BMW can have as many friends as they want for branding their friends also though Facebook will post status updates to news feeds in real time they'll make it easier to separate groups of friends and then you can more easily put links videos photos and much more in your updates now these are all features that users have been asking for and some of them are starting to look a lot like Twitter yeah watch your back Twitter Facebook is a stone killer moving on to kindle news amazon released a free kindle application for the iphone this week it downloads your kindle books onto your iphone let's you read them and then it uses the whispersync network to make sure you're always on the same page on either device will it save you 350 bucks on a kindle maybe you can't
