JVC now has a solution for those of us looking for something to carry around on the run.  They introduced their first pocket flash memory camera, the new PICSIO GC-FM1, which is being refered to as the Picsio.  This little guy can produce 8.0 megapixel stills photos and 1080p HD video.  The camera also has a 4X zoom which is clear with the image stabilization.
The camera is about the size of a small cell phone, and is available in three colors – Black Ice, Blue Steel and Purple Passion with a tone-on-tone geometric pattern and chrome accents. Very stylish for those of use the like our gadgets with a bit of personality.

In June, Alienware had released one of the first of these with their OptX AW2210 Monitor ($299). A 21.5″ full HD monitor that has some great specs to it including two HDMI ports, adjustable stand, four USB 2.0 ports for connecting various peripherals, and low input lag. Sounds like a pretty good monitor if you do a lot of gaming, and I know I would love those extra USB ports in the monitor for connecting some external hard drives and my headset. You can never have enough USB ports in my opinion!

Alienware has also released the TactX Headset which has one real interesting feature to me: a retractable microphone. This would be nice to have for when I just want to have headphones on to listen to music or to work on a project and have no need of a microphone. The TacX Headset also is able to break down into three different parts for storage or transport. They also look pretty comfortable and are supposed to be lightweight, which is perfect for a long gaming session.

New to the gaming line are the TactX Mouse and the TactX Keyboard. Both are available for $99 and look to be great for gamers. The mouse will have nine different customizable buttons as well as five different user profiles. And if you like your computers to have their own lighting scheme as I do, you will be able to customize the colors with Alienware’s AlienFX lighting. The TactX Keyboard can also be jazzed up with the AlienFX lighting in two different zones on the keyboard, leaving you some interesting color combination possibilities. On the more technical side, the TactX Keyboard gives you access to unlimited profiles and six programmable macro keys. The gaming mode also disables the Windows key, so accidentally hitting that key won’t mess up your game!

Alienware also sent me this cool video of a retail concept that they built at a Micro Center in New Jersey. It looks pretty rad, and it will give people the chance to test out their products. I may have to make a trip to check this out at some point. I was also sent this mysterious image that hints at a new product line. I can kind of make out a computer tower and laptop, but not sure what’s on the right… so if you have any guesses leave a comment! Hopefully we will hear more about this new line soon!

Avatar 3D

Gamers that want to play Ubisoft’s Avatar 3D title might want to prepare to spend some extra money. To play Avatar: The Game in 3D it will need an HDMI-enabled console.

While PS3 users already meet the requirement, Xbox 360 users that don’t have the HDMI port may miss out. Wii owners weren’t going to get the 3D version anyway.

Besides the HDMI port requirement, players will need to own a compatible full 3D 1080p 120Mhz tv set. Panasonic makes a 3DFHD but they are not available to buy yet.

At least the 3D glasses are included.
