Hot New Products: The Lastest Electronics on the Market

Digital Camera
Kodak's offering the choice of ten colors on its EasyShare V803 and V1003. The hues are midnight black, java brown, pink, red shimmer, cosmic blue, mystic purple, golden dream, slate grey, silver essence, and a white glaze.
The 8 megapixel camera is $199 and the 10 megapixel is $249. A common flaw with Kodak cameras is light sensitivity but Kodak upped this one to ISO 800 to improve the chances of picking up something recognizable in a dark setting. Kodak also modified the "Favorites" button so that pressing it actually saves a copy of a photo to the camera's internal memory.

SpeedDial: VoIP Slot Car Racing
Basically it's a bunch of people yelling into their phones. Then the voice patterns are analyzed and translated into power waves that control each of their slot cars. So the louder you yell the faster your car goes, but everytime you stop for a breath so will your car.
