WishList: Canon's Cross Media Dock charges and shares pics and vids upon contact

Inductive charging for gadgets isn't new. The Palm Pre's Touchstone dock ushered in this cool technology and the Powermat folks have been applying this solution to all sorts of devices. This prototype Canon dock charges up to three  camcorders or cameras and it also transfers your photos and videos for viewing on a TV. It may not be for anyone but users with multiple cameras and memory cards plus the requisite battery  chargers and card readers and cables will definitely consider this smart, tidy and possibly energy efficient solution.

Apple prepping for October 20th media event focusing on Mac OS

Apple has sent out invites to a "media event" set for October 20th. The most interesting thing about the invitation is the slogan "Back to Mac," as well as a sneak-peek at what looks to be a Lion, signifying the possible introduction of OS X 10.7 probably codenamed Lion. We're hoping that some new Macs will be announced at this event, hopefully a cheaper, smaller MacBook Air which hasn't seen an update for over a year.

Update on Monday, October 18, 2010 at 9:17AM by Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Above is a leaked image of the supposed revision to the 13-inch MacBook Air which will be using a new type of SSD memory that's more like RAM than a notebook hard drive. More importantly, there are speculations of a new, 11-inch subnotebook sized MacBook Air that will be significantly cheaper than the 13-inch variant. What's more, the above prototype (which is dated back to April) shows 4 battery packs although it is quite possible that this, as well as the Core 2 Duo Intel processor will be replaced upon launch. We hope its true, we think a modestly priced subnotebook Mac in the 10-12' inch screen category will be a runaway success.
