We've harshed on
GE's cameras before, but the company showed up at PMA with a new model called the E1050 (pictured) that's actually pretty slick. The 10 megapixel shooter features a 5x optical zoom, HD-res video mode, HDMI out, a 3-inch touchscreen, and an integrated GPS radio that syncs up with your computer to automatically geotag your shots. All for just $249 -- even if thing takes just average pictures, that's quite a bargain. We'll have a hands-on soon, and read on for specs on the rest of GE's 2008 lineup, all of which include face and blink detection.

As is the custom in these matters, Dell has flatly denied the existence of any product to announce at MWC, and went further on to state that the company doesn't even plan on attending the show.
Rumors of a "Gphone" were probably greatly exaggerated to begin with, and now at least the venue has been firmly shot down. That said, there was no explicit denial of an Android-related product (there never is), so the optimistic ones out there can go on hoping for a Dell phone to solve all their problems. Hey, if
Garmin can do it, what's stopping them?

When we forced the TiVo HD and Series3 to go
mano-a-mano back in October of last year, we had a sneaking suspicion that the latter was actually no longer being produced. Fast forward (har) three months, and sure enough, it seems that the end really is nigh for the Series3. According to
TiVo Lovers (who heard directly from
DVRupgrade), TiVo is accelerating the EOL (end of life) of the Series3 and "focusing all efforts on the recently launched, lower cost
TiVo HD." Apparently, the firm managed to sell through oodles of Series3 boxes over the holidays (thanks in large part to a sizable
rebate-based promotion), and rather than searching for creative ways to solve the "continued component shortage," TiVo is reportedly choosing to nudge potential customers in the direction of the TiVo HD. Granted, we'd still take this with a (light) dose of salt for the time being, but don't be shocked to see Series3 stock start dwindling in the coming weeks.

Alienware's
Hangar 18:HD 1080p media server -- the rackmountable
high end edition of the already impressive
Hangar 18 -- has officially launched. The silver beast promises up to 4TB of hard drive space, Blu-ray read/write, 1080p output, CableCard support and Dolby Digital 7.1 sounds. We suggest you don't ask how much it costs, it just shows how woefully far
we you are away from being able to afford it. Those ready to jump into the high priced
media server market can contact their local authorized reseller and loose themselves of the Benjamins that can so uselessly clog ones bank account.

NextoDI may not shake up the designs of its various
photography-friendly storage devices very much, but it at least keeps up a steady pace with the technical upgrades, with its new Nexto Extreme ND2700 unit now adding some speedy eSATA support to the mix. Otherwise, you can expect the usual accommodations for a 2.5-inch hard drive, along with slots for just about any memory card you're likely to use and, of course, a USB port for times when eSATA isn't an option. Still no word on a price or release date, but we're guessing you shouldn't have to wait too much longer to get your hands on one.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of excitement when Pentax releases new cameras in its Optio range -- do you people only love them for
their DSLRs? -- but nonetheless, we gave them the same hands-on treatment that everyone else gets. Below you'll find the new
S12, E50, and
M50 in all their seemingly-unpopular glory, despite the fact that they seemed like fairly stylish, solidly-built products to us. Still with us? Great, we've got a lot of multi-colored point-and-shoot action in store for you.

Mustek isn't exactly known for its high-end cameras, and its new DV300T model sure looks to be no exception, although it at least attempts to make up for its shortcomings with versatility, not to mention a decidedly non-digital camera-like package. Those shortcomings begin with a max 3.1 megapixel resolution for still images and no optical zoom to speak of, but you will be able to use the device as a PMP, a voice recorder, and an e-book reader, although we're sure even Mustek must have had a chuckle at including that as one of the "6-in1" features. No word on a price, but if Mustek's past cameras are any indication, you likely won't have to worry about breaking the bank account on this one.

Sony fans, the fun's not over yet. Besides going hands-on with that pair of new
300-series alpha DSLRs and that alphabet soup of
H, S, and T series cams, we also managed to take a look at all four
new W series Cyber-shots. Differing mostly in resolution and optical zoom, the 10.1 megapixel DSC-W170, 8.1 megapixel DSC-W150 and DSC-W130, and 7.2 megapixel DSC-W120 all feature the company's "smile shutter" technology, which we found to work pretty well at recognizing our grins during a demo. Look for these to start shipping in March and April, for between $200 and $300.

The memory card announcements at PMA continue --
Kingston has just announced its first 16GB SDHC card. Sure, we're happy for them, but at $231, it's more expensive than SanDisk's $179 16GB card -- which comes with a USB 2.0 reader -- and it's certainly not as impressive as SanDisk's
new 32GB card. Also, your hair is frizzy and you look fat. But have fun at the party!

While it's always great to see your consumer point-and-shoots get a decent spec bump or two, Sony's not really offering too many breakthrough new features in the
latest refresh to its T, S, and H series Cyber-shots. Still, it was nice to check out the updated DSC-H3, DSC-S700, and DSC-T200 at Sony's
PMA booth in the form of the DSC-H10, DSC-S750 / S780, and DSC-T300, respectively. Ranging from $150 to $400, and from 7.2 to 10.1 megapixels, the four cameras in this gallery seem like they'd be a fine upgrade to folks already hooked on their MemorySticks.
