Unless our eyes are being mighty deceitful, IT168‘s photos of the Dopod C750 sure look an awful lot like the HTC Juno. Granted, there’s no way to confirm this suggestion just yet, but it’s hard to deny that the two form factors are eerily similar. According to a (very) rough translation, the C750 boasts a 2.6-inch VGA (640 x 480) display, Windows Mobile 6, a microSD expansion slot, USB connectivity and a built-in camera to boot. For those still skeptical, click on through for a few more looks.

Sanyo’s back with another Xacti solid state camcorder with this, their DMX-HD700. That’s “HD” as in high-def, “7″ as in 720p instead of the 1080i recording action found in their DMX-HD1000. On sale starting October 19th, the “world’s smallest and lightest 720p” camcorder records MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video and 7.1 megapixel stills to SD/SDHC cards. It’s also loaded with the ability to track up to 12-faces, a 2.7-inch LCD, and ISO 3200 sensitivity. Expect to drop an estimated Â¥70,000 (about $609) or so for the privilege.

Thankfully, it didn’t take too awfully long after Fujitsu’s LifeBook T2010 got official before the folks over at PCMag were able to wrap their palms around the tablet and toss out their two pennies. Upon first opening this bad boy up, reviewers were stunned by the incredibly bright LED-backlit display, and while they seemed slightly bummed about the lack of an optical drive and the relatively weak processor, it was well-spec’d enough to handle the bulk of everyday tasks with ease. Overall, the crew was thrilled by the remarkable battery life and the beautiful screen (or did we already mention that?), but if you’re still wondering exactly how this machine ended up with four out of five stars, be sure and hit the read link after you slip on those readin’ glasses.
