In addition to 3 hours of voice-recording capabilities, the new W-10 also features an integrated camera. Capable only of resolutions up to 640-by-480 pixels, the camera is not for the Ansel Adamses of the world, but its slick design and low cost will appeal to those wanting to visually document their notes or simply connect a face with a voice. With 16MB of built-in flash memory, users can store up to 3 hours of diction, 250 images, or a combination of both. The included Voice Album software has a number of useful features, including a Voice Indexing capability that enables you to connect images to specific points in conversation. For instance, a user surveying a room can take a picture and attach a sound bite to that image for visual recall. Images are stored in JPEG format, and the device uses standard AAA alkaline batteries." 9:19:59 AM  comment []       Big flat panel commands hefty price At Comdex Fall 2002 in Las Vegas, consumer electronics maker Samsung unveils what it calls the world's largest LCD display.
