Panasonic ToughBook CF-U1 most rugged yet. Warehouse workers rejoice!
No, I’m not taking the Michael out of warehouse workers — I’m aware that many professionals need to use a compact, rugged PC at work, and the Panasonic ToughBook CF-U1 could just fit the bill.
It surprised the reviewer at Trusted Reviews because Panasonic has used Intel’s Atom chip for its UMPC. Things just get better from there, it seems.
Specs wise, it features the Z520 Atom 1.33GHz processor with Hyper Threading Technology (single core but with added “oomph”), up to 32GB solid state disk, 1GB of RAM, 1,024 x 600 screen resolution, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. It comes either with Vista or XP…

Four months on, Panasonic announces core details of DMP-BD50 Blu-ray player
Trade press first saw the DMP-BD50 in January at CES, however it’s taken Panasonic this long to confirm the pricing and availability, which were just announced in the US this week.
The all-singing, all-dancing Blu-ray player sports Blu-ray Profile 2.0 (BD-Live), and decodes and outputs via bit stream both aurally delicious Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio formats, making it a key player in the market. In addition, it…

Shiny Video Preview: Panasonic HDC-SD9, HDC-HS9, SDR-S7 and SDR-SW20 camcorders
Yesterday I grabbed a few quick minutes in a noisy room to show you the four models Panasonic has recently launched/announced for their camcorder range, the HDC-SD9, HDC-HS9, SDR-S7 and SDR-SW20.
The former two models offer lovely, scrumptious full-HD, whereas the latter two are standard-def. Take a look above for some…
Panasonic HDC-SD9 camcorder announced in UK, world's smallest and lightest
The second high-def camcorder announced by Panasonic today in the UK is the HDC-SD9, which also offers a full HD experience with 1920 x 1080p filming.
The main difference between the SD9 and the HS9 I mentioned before is that the SD9 doesn’t contain a hard disk. Instead, recording is made onto an SD or SDHC card. Like the HS9, it is also 3CCD and has the same 10x zoom. Weighing in at 115g, it’s very minuscule in size, yet still packs…
Panasonic announces the full-HD HDC-HS9 camcorder in the UK
Panasonic today announced four new camcorders in the UK, two to join their high-def range, the other two to languish in the inferior standard definition range. Standard def, bah! Who wants it?
The two full-HD camcorders announced are the HDC-HS9 (pictured above) and HDC-SD9. Offering 1920 x 1080p recording, at 25fps and a 17Mbps bit rate, it features a 60GB hard disk, but you can also record onto SD or SDHC via the card slot. Oh, and did I mention it’s got an impressive 10x optical zoom too? That’s the best part, if you ask me…
Panasonic throws the miniscule SDR-S7 camcorder into the mix
I know there’s a Panasonic launch event in the coming weeks here in London, so I’m hoping they’ll be showing off this SDR-S7 camcorder, which was just announced in Japan.
Weighing an incredible 160g, or 182g with the battery and SD card in their relevant slots, it records in VGA resolution at 640 x 480 in the Mpeg-2 format. With…
