IFA 2008: Samsung YP-U4 Litmus MP3 player
Yes, it wasn’t just one MP3 player that Samsung brought out at IFA. The second in the their “emotionally sensitive” range is the smaller Samsung YP-U4, aka. the Litmus…
IFA 2008: Wibrain UMPC with everthing you'd want from a netbook
If ever there was a product to split the public, the Wibrain UMPC is it. The 526g block packs a serious punch with a 1.33GHz Atom processor, 1GB of DDR RAM, a rather neat 1024×640 4.8″ TFT touchscreen and, frankly, you can’t really argue with that…
IFA 2008: Samsung YP-Q1 Diamond MP3 player

IFA 2008: Room-sized Speakers from Swan
In the above video Dan is awed by a set of *massive* speakers from Swan. One is the size of a wardrobe. You can only buy them as a set, and each one its own costs in the region of £20k, but they make poor Dan look like a dwarf. Imagine the volume you’d get out of those…
IFA 2008: Spy monitors and picture frames
Zara is still over in Berlin checking out the gadgets at IFA 2008.

IFA 2008: Rollei X-8 Sports is the Chuck Norris of cameras
No, actually, it’s not. Because nothing could possibly be as rugged than Chuck Norris. What it does rival is the Ricoh G600. When I say “rival” though, I actually mean “spec slightly worse in every category”. There isn’t any price yet, though, so maybe that’s where it can win out…
IFA 2008: JVC Everio HD30 and HD40
Over in Berlin, Zara’s been hunting down camcorders – specifically the new Everios from JVC – the HD30 and HD40. They’ve got dual-format recording, so they record in both MPEG2 and AVCHD. This means you can get far more video into much less storage space. 50 hours onto the 120GB HD40. It’s got 10x optical zoom, and records at 1080p.
No price point, no release date, but we’ll let you know as soon as we hear anything…
IFA 2008: Hands on with the Samsung X360
Lucky Zara from ShinyShiny has just managed to get her hands on the Samsung X360 which we were talking about yesterday. Turns out that it’s just as attractive in person as it was in the promo photos (the laptop, not Zara).
