Kodak announced a new Zi8 Pocket Video Camera that can capture video in 1080p HD. The Zi8’s predecessors, the Kodak Zi6 and the weather-resistant Kodak Zx1, maxed out at 720p.

This slim pocket video camera is designed to help users capture life’s important memories at the touch of a button—the camera doesn’t have a lens cap, dials to turn, or settings to adjust that will hinder the ability to quickly

Apple continues to give end users reasons to jailbreak their iPhones, by rejecting applications that are pretty darn useful, for various reasons (in this case, because it might affect AT&T revenue). Of course, jailbroken iPhones might destroy the world as we know it, if Apple is to be believed. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is using the Copyright Office’s triennial exemption process to try to get an exemption for iPhone jailbreaking. The process is moving along, and with the Copyright Office asking

The advances in security for the computers, however, has not kept pace, experts said at the Black Hat security conference in Vegas.Apparently, this time, what happens in Vegas is not staying there,

I was running some errands yesterday and stopped by a new smoothie place here outside St. Louis, Missouri and my jaw dropped when I saw an ASUS Eee Top sitting on the counter. This local company is using is as their point of sale solution (POS) and said that they loved it. We reviewed the ASUS Eee Top and found that the all in one unit with touch screen was a great solution. At $485 shipped they are also priced right considering you'd still have to purchase POS software to use it properly.

Around the time Microsoft began publically discussing Windows Mobile 6.5, a news story surfaced which stated that the company planned to stop calling their Windows-powered phones “Windows Mobile Smartphones” in favor of the shorter, simpler label “Windows Phones.”  This had the ring of truth, so we passed the information along.

We assumed, as did the author of the original Digitimes article, that the OS name – Windows Mobile – would remain and that the term “Windows Phone” would be what phones running Windows Mobile would be commonly referred to (in ads, store displays, etc.) from WM6.5 forward. But a story at the Inquirer.net tells us that the OS itself is receiving the name change.

According to the post, the current Windows Mobile 6.1, the soon-to-arrive Windows Mobile 6.5, and the heretofore unseen Windows Mobile 7, will each be called Windows Phone without any version numbers at all.  This is certainly possible, but it seems unlikely that all three versions of the mobile OS will be called simply “Windows Phone” – how will consumers know what version of the OS is powering the handset they’re looking to buy?  Yes, I’d like the Windows Phone with the October 2009 release of Windows Phone, please.  When’s the next Windows Phone Windows Phone coming out? ‘Cause I hear Windows Phone will have features Windows Phone doesn’t. Microsoft has made some odd moves in the mobile space, but this seems unlikely even for them.

While the Inquirer story could certainly prove to be correct, the original story makes more sense: that Windows Phone will be the name for devices running Windows Mobile 6.5 and above and that, at least on the Settings page, you’ll still see version numbers with the words Windows Mobile somewhere nearby.

If the story does turn out to the right, and version numbers are completely dropped, perhaps we’ll see version names instead of numbers: Windows Phone Egyptian Mau or Windows Phone Maine Coon (to borrow a naming scheme).

So, are you excited about Windows Phone or are you happy with your Windows Phone?  Inquirer-ing minds want to know.
