JVC Picsio GC-FM1, Handheld 1080p Camcorder with a Funny Name
JVC has a new pocket camcorder for us today that packs a digital punch. The Picsio Pocket Camcorder looks like teen girl's bedazzled cell phone, but its much more than high-school hot. This little wonder shoots 1080p HD video like the Kodak Zi8 and Samsung HMX-U10, and at up to 30fps and 720p at 60fps. As usual, videos are saved in H.264 format, and are easily transferred from the USB 2.0 connection which also conveniently charges the battery. The battery should be good for about 70 minutes of recording time.
The JVC Picsio handheld camcorder is also capable of 8MP stills, native resolution, not interpolated. Both video and still modes benefit from image stabilization, which will supposedly even handle recordings with the digital zoom maxed out at 4x. Video and stills can be previewed on the 2" LCD screen with simple controls. The included software is built onto the Picsio's limited internal memory which seems to be able to run directly off of the memory (perhaps without installation). The software is designed to allow almost one-touch upload to YouTube. You'll however need to provide your own SDHC cards for storing data; the Picsio supports up to 32GB. MSRP is set at a reasonable $199 and should be available soon. Video demo after the jump.

ClickFree C2 USB Appliance Backs up with Chic Style
Building on their line of USB Transformer cable as well as their Traveler backup USB card, ClickFree announces today the C2 Backup Drive. The drive comes in either 250GB or 500GB model, which are both sleek glossy and available in white or black. Looking very much like a modern PMP, they are almost featureless on the surface with a blue activity LED on top and a recessed USB cable tucked underneath. Their backup software is preloaded on these devices and will autorun as soon as they are connected to either a PC or Mac (except Windows 7). Portable, they don't need to install and retain your settings on the Backup drive as you move from PC to PC.
Once launched the software will seek out and categorize your sensitive files. After the quick scan you will be presented with a few options for backing up your files. Restoring files or sharing them onto other computers is even faster. Select from the proffered bank of backed up files on the drive and files are quickly copied to the new computer. Other options include backing up file attachments from emails. There's also photo upload support for Facebook and iPod music backup support. The ClickFree C2 is available now for $140 - $190 depending on capacity. Video demo after the jump.
