V570.jpgCES hasn't even started yet, but Kodak is out in front of the pack with its EasyShare V570 ($399.95 direct) digital still camera. Aside from looking pretty cool, what sets this 5MP camera apart is that it has two lenses: one 23mm wide angle and a 39-117mm 5X zoom lens.

 

The wide-angle lens helps you frame an entire room instead of just a part of it. It is also great for landscape photography. Although the V570's performance wasn't quite enough to earn it an Editors' Choice, this is a fun camera that will appeal to users that want a compact device that can take wide-angle shots.

 

Check out all the details and performance results here.

Google PC

Looks like Microsoft may finally have a lot to fear with the possible roll out of the Google PC. Sources report that Google will unveil its low-priced PC at Wal-Mart and possibly other retailers, and would operate on Google's own operating system.

And what else does Google have up its sleeves? Well, you may soon be seeing something called "Google Cubes," which the LA Times describes as a small hardware box that could allow users to move songs, videos and other digital files between their computers and TV sets. Google may also be entering pay-TV services.

But, some folks beg to differ on the possibility of Google selling its own PC. According to Tech Dirt, the idea is highly unlikely, considering that it probably won't sell well at Wal-Mart.

Google's co-founder and president, Larry Page, will be speaking this Friday at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Our editors will be there reporting on all of the new and upcoming technologies and products, so hopefully they'll get to listen to Page's speech and discover the real scoop.
