Hi. I am looking for a three or four US HDTV fans to do a quick emial interview with for a UK magazine. I will email you five questions and I'll need answer from you fairly quickly. If you can help out at all email me here. Thanks

Looks like its digital camera goes wireless month in the UK. On sale from now are the £349 Nikon Coolpix P1 and £279 P2 - the company's first Wi-Fi enabled snappers. The theory being they can send images from the camera or its memory card wirelessly to a PC. The models have a fairly similar design, the key differences being the P1 (an exclusive to Jessops in the UK) can take eight mega pixel images while the P2 takes five. Both feature a 3.5x zoom capability and powerful 36-126mm Zoom-Nikkor lens (35mm equivalent) and sport 16 handy Scene Modes. More here.

Meanwhile Kodak has launched its Easyshare-One compact camera. It has two very cool features - a touch screen that flips out mobile phone style and integrated Wi-Fi. It not only means you can transfer images wirelessly from the camera but also send images via email from your home wireless network or form a hot spot. The four mega pixel camera is going for a very pricey £400.

Remember that ultra skinny NEC camera phone we tipped you off about last week? Well apparently the L1 is on its way to the UK. Luxury retailer Bamford and Sons has apparently scooped a load of the handsets, which is super model skinny compared with its now comparitively bloated Motorola RAZR rivals, and is selling them at a rather pricey £595 a pop.

With the RAZR series being touted by every Tom Dick and Chav now it might be money worth spending. Read

I was at the glitzy Mobile Choice Awards last night in Old Billingsgate Market. The lovely Bill Bailey was on hand to present the awards. He did a great job and took delight in mocking us ("right, better get on. After all, for some of you, this will be the best night of your life").

Sony Ericsson were the night's big winners, scooping up three awards for Best 3G Phone (the V800), Best Music Phone (the Walkman W800i), and Manufacturer of the Year. Best network went to Orange, though Virgin once again took the prize for best Customer Service, while 3 walked away with best 3G network and Best Prepay Package ("for people without an address" according to Bill). Our jocund host renamed the Readers' Dream Phone award the "Muggers' Choice" award, which went, of course, to the Motorola V3 RAZR. Motorola also took the award for Best Fashion Phone thanks to the lovely V6 PEBL. Phone of the Year was the one voted for by the charming, talented and erudite panel of judges (yes, I was one of them). We spent a day locked away deliberating over a stack of phones that included the Sony Ericssons W800i and V800, the Sharp 902 and the Moto V6 PEBL. But ultimately, the prize went to the excellent Samsung D600. A great night all round, which is why I'm off for a little lie down now. For the full list of winners and nominees, check out the next issue of Mobile Choice magazine. [Katie Lee]

Fujifilm's FinePix F10 Zoom certainly lived up to its billing and was one of the key compacts of last twelve months. So it'll be interesting to see how its successor, the FinePix F11 Zoom, which was announced today, fares. The two models are similar in terms of design and 6.3 mega pixel image capture, but Fujifilm has added some new functions and tweaked the camera's manual options. It now features aperture priority and shutter priority modes, which Fujifilm claims gloves scope for a level of creativity and photographic control that will appeal to photography enthusiasts. The FinePix F11 Zoom has ISO rating of 80-1600, features a 2.5" LCD screen, and can apparently snap 500 shots on a single battery charge. It goes on sale in November. No price details yet.

Toshiba is the latest big name maker to unveil its latest range of HDTV friendly LCD TVs. Headline features for the new WLT58 series are a slimline speaker design and, for the first time for Tosh, integrated Freeview digital terrestrial decoders.

The series, which features 32 (32 WLT58), 37 (37 WLT58) and 42inch (42 WLT58) models, naturally all offer the HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) that's a must if a set is going to be able to deliver Sky's upcoming HDTV channels. All the sets go on sale in October/November.  More details at HDTV UK.

The trouble with choosing a piano, as opposed to taking up say the trumpet, is that it isn't exactly purpose-built for off the off the cuff musical interludes. So while your guitar savvy mates can happily sit around the campfire strumming Ging Gang Goolie, up until now the only keyboard pianists have played while  gazing into the flames are air keyboards. I'm discounting those nasty hang round your neck guitar style keyboards so beloved by 80s American hair rockers as they are way too expensive.

Well now there's an easy way for pianists to get portable and that is  rollup keyboard that has been developed by Nevada Music. On sale for £80, the Roll Up Travel Piano does exactly as it says rolling up into a small ball making it easy to carry and then roll out when the Kids From Fame moment takes hold. There are an board speakers for sharing sounds at the campfire knees up or an earphones socket for the more bashful. It comes equipped with a MIDI output and can be connected to a computer to use as a controller keyboard (much easier than composing or arranging with a mouse). It also has 128 General MIDI sounds, 100 built in rhythms and 20 demo songs too. More from here.

The BBC is claiming it has had a really good response to its calks for volunteers to road test its new iMP (integrated Media Player) a piece of software that enables viewers to watch TV programmes via the web up to seven days after its initial broadcast. Apparently some 30,000 people to date have registered and 5,000 have been chosen to participate in trailing the player. The lucky triallists will get an email confirming their participation shortly.

The Beeb says that the purpose of the trial is 'to gauge the public interest in iMP as well as to evaluate the public value of such a service, and any potential market impact.' Of course we all know that this is compete bull. If the BBC doesn't offer a video on demand service over the web for its programming within the next few years it will have lost out heavily to satellite broadcaster Sky and cable companies NTL and Telewest.

Well it is the news that Toshiba, and its ever so slightly beleaguered HD DVD format has been waiting to hear. The twin big boys of the PC world, Microsoft and Intel have today confirmed they will join the HD DVD Promotion Group. This basically means that they will back the format, at the expense of the Sony lead Blu-ray rival. Other HD DVD supporters include NEC and Sanyo. The companies cited reasons such as low-cost manufacturing, future proof compatibility and superior capacity and interactivity as the reason for their move.

Samsung was also parading a few protos yesterday including this little gem which it is billing as 'literally the hottest phone on the market.' Developed in Russia, in the Ural State Academy to be precise, the handset features a built-in hand warmer to ensure that even though the Siberian wind might be blowing your hands are still nice and toasty and ready to text. Anyhow I am sure my long deceased grandmother would approve. In her day it was standard practice stave off the cold by carrying round hot potatoes in pockets. Apologies for rubbish pic, but that glass casing was nailed down.

It looked like it would be a close race to launch the first mobile phone with hard disk in the UK, but it appears now that the contest is over. Samsung has confirmed that its three Gigabyte Windows based SGH-i300 will be in the stores before Christmas - early November appears to be the likely time - well before Nokia's four Gig N91. I had a few minutes hands-on with the phone yesterday and have to say it is one impressive handset. Sure it is large and its chocolate bar design isn't exactly cutting edge, but it feels smaller and more comfortable to use than Nokia's hard disk phone the N91.

I am over in New York at the mo enjoying the Samsung Global Roadshow. Basically it is a yearly event where they parade all their hero products, get their CEO to deliver a rousing speech and employ some star, in this case William Shatner, to deliver a very cheesy one. Alas there was absolutely no new product here - it was all shown at IFA. However we did manage to glean a few stories, so for today only Tech Digest does Samsung.

We were going to do a long post about Nokia's new music phone the 3250, but ShinyShiny got there first. Suffice to say that it looks great, sports a really cool twisty design that makes it easy to use both the music player and the camera, features a cool two mega pixel camera and has one Gigabyte of memory - which mobile spotters will tell you is twice as much as the Motorola/Apple ROKR and the Sony Ericsson W800i Walkman phone. It also has a neat 262k colour screen, Bluetooth and an FM radio. Music playback is ten hours per charge and users drag and drop tracks on to the device (hurrah).

Doh! That's almost a long post. Over to your Sony Ericsson and Motorola/ Apple...

Shiny's new music blog PopJunkie, which champions great lost pop albums, is giving away a Philips Shoqbox every month to the person who writes in the funniest and most compelling album review. All the details are here.

Sister blog, or perhaps it should be brother blog, Bayraider reports that eBay is awash with a load of white PSPs which are jetting out of Japan following their release there last week.

Emboldened, we like to think, by the warm reception TechDigest offered to their silly but loveable Pocket Party a few months back PodGear have followed their 'stuffed vine leaf' sized offering with a bigger, better, and significantly louder iPod audio solution. Whereas the pocket party was more or less in a league of its own the £60 Houseparty has significant competition from Altec Lansing and Bose - both of which are premium products aimed at a rather deep-pocketed consumer.

O2's long awaited i-mode Internet service has finally been unveiled in the UK. offering users the chance to experience a fast and cost effective internet service. Already the world's most widely-used mobile Internet service with more than 50 million users in 22 countries, i-mode is supposed to be an easy-to-use service, which runs significantly faster than most services. Available in the UK exclusively from O2 on 1st October, the service will launch on Pay as You Go and Pay Monthly and will be on both 3G and 2G services.

Around 100 international and local mobile Internet sites have been unveiled at the launch, with brands such as Egg, Interflora, lastminute.com, Rightmove.co.uk and Monster.com getting involved. As well as advanced internet services, with banking, shopping, email, ticket bookings and news all available, a push email service will also be included, allowing you to get your emails straight to your phone instantly.

Four unique i-mode handsets, with more to follow, have been unveiled: Samsung S500i (£249 Pre-pay, free Post Pay); NEC 411i (£99 Pre-pay, free on Post Pay); the NEC 343i (£79 for pre-pay, free on Post pay) and the Samsung Z320i 3G slider phone, which will cost £249 on pre-pay and from £79.99 on contract (Full details after the jump)

Here's a world's first product that I suspect we are going to be seeing an awful lot more of. Yep Morphy Richards has unveiled the first ever personal MP3 player with an integrated digital radio. On sale now the Morphy Richards DAB MP3 Player (they aren't big on fancy names) features either 256 or 512MB of storage and a full on DAB radio with an FM tuner as back-up.

The MP3 player sounds fairly easy to use with tunes simply dragged and dropped on to the device. There's also a reasonable screen to display track names as well as display DAB information such as programme details, playlists, song lyrics and news. The player costs £139.99 for the 256MB product and £159.99 for the 512MB.

It won't have the market for  long though as players like Oregon Scientific and Bush are already working on their own models.

The iBall wasn't the only rather striking looking audio product that Oregon unveiled yesterday. The company also took the wraps of its Music Element 2.1, a rather smart new CD micro system. It certainly looks great with a sleek motorised top-loading CD player with a see-through lid.

It is however the speakers that steal the show. They are ultra skinny and are designed so that they can be angled via their stand to project the sound out into the room or sited on a wall. Not surprisingly, given their slight size, they employ NXT's SurfaceSound flat panel speaker technology. The rest of the system includes a WMA/MP3 compatible CD player AM/FM tuner and a graphic equaliser. It'll sell for £299 when it reaches the stores next month.
