Fujifilm confirms Finepix X100 ship date, price and accessory line for US market

We've spent quite a bit not nearly enough time with Fujifilm's fixed-lens Finepix X100, and while it felt that March would never actually come during Photokina 2010, it's actually just a few weeks away. The outfit has today confirmed that its 12.3 megapixel shooter will be shipping to America next month, with a wallet-burning $1,199.95 netting you a 23mm F2 prime lens, a standard ISO range of 200 to 6400 (with a boost to 12800), built-in ND filter, Hybrid Viewfinder and a magnesium alloy chassis. Feel free to peek back at our hands-on sessions to get a better idea if this is the retro body you've been yearning for, and hop on past the break if you'd care to see the official verbiage.

Cisco Buys Inlet, Gains Video/Data Compression Technology

Cisco is back on the M&A warpath, look out! Inlet Technologies, an NC-based company that won't have to move far, has just been acquired by Cisco, not too terribly longer after they picked up Pure Digital -- the company responsible for Flip Video pocket camcorders. Reports are stating that the company is being purchased for $95 million,...

Path Finally Finds Its Way To Comments

In announcing their funding last week, Path co-founder Dave Morin noted that they were listening to all the feedback on the product and would be rolling out features that users have made clear they wanted. The biggest of those has to be comments. And today, Path has added them. Dubbed "Path Chat", this new feature is a comment section that will reside below each Path moment (pictures and videos). Pretty standard stuff, really. It joins the emoticons feature that Path rolled out last month to allow friends to give each other direct feedback on their moments. Those are now clearly more of a "like" functionality, with comments being the key interaction point within the app.

HP twirls out TouchSmart 610 and 9300 all-in-one PCs

When almost every other computer manufacturer has copied its touchscreen all-in-one, what's a company like HP to do? Create a totally crazy pivoting and reclining one, of course! Yep, HP's newest TouchSmart 610 and 9300 Elite Business PC may look like typical 1920 x 1080-resolution, 23-inch all-in-ones when positioned upright, but that all changes when their screens recline up to 60 degrees or the entire body of the rig swivels around to do a 180. It's one seriously flexible AIO, but the new design isn't just about yoga-like tricks -- it aims to make touch interaction more comfortable and ergonomic, and on that vein HP has also updated its TouchSmart 610 consumer model with its latest TouchSmart software layer, which includes finger-friendly Hulu, Netflix, and Twitter apps as well as a TouchSmart Apps Center. The 9300 Elite Business all-in-one, as you may have caught from its name, is meant for enterprise and "customer spaces" (aka kiosks, counters, etc.), and thus only comes loaded with Windows 7.

Spec-wise, the 610 can be configured with Intel and AMD desktop processors, up to 16GB of RAM, a terabyte of storage, a Blu-ray drive, while its 1.3 megapixel camera and Beats Audio speakers come standard. Naturally, the 9300 has to keep up its professional reputation, and though it cuts out the Beats, it gains Intel's latest Sandy Bridge processors, a 160GB SSD option, and a higher quality two megapixel cam with facial recognition software. You know, for "enhanced security." So, when can you pick up one of these monsters? The $900 610 is expected to start shipping on February 9th, while the 9300 will hit in May for an undetermined price. We're hoping to bring you a full review of the 610 soon, but we can tell you from our early look at it that the viewing angles were sufficiently wide and the tilting mechanism fairly rigid. Man, it's already turning out to be quite a week for HP -- that webOS event is coming up on Wednesday, but in the meantime you'll want to hit the break for the full TouchSmart press release and a short video of the reclining mechanism in action.

Cooliris Liveshare brings slick group photo sharing to Windows Phone 7

Liveshare by Cooliris has been a popular way to share photos with friends for iOS and Android users for some time. Now, the company has released a Windows Phone 7 app -- and it's a must-have app for WP7 socialites who love to snap pics on the go.

Sign in to the app via your Facebook account, then head to Liveshare's personal screen to create a new photostream. If you're creating a stream, Liveshare lets you invite Facebook friends (you can also search if your list is particularly lengthy). Get the ball rolling by taking a new pic or uploading an existing one, and the stream updates in realtime on liveshare.com.

The app also features public streams, which are a very cool way for people attending the same event or hanging out in the same place to share pics in one easy-to-access location. The live page presumably shows what users are uploading to various Liveshare streams right now, but the page was always blank for me.

Liveshare is a free app, and you'll find it in the Zune Marketplace (or download it via WP7applist). The Tag code is after the break for those who prefer to scan-and-install!
