Designtechnica.com, the fastest-growing online source for news, reviews, buying guides and podcasts about products for the high-tech lifestyle, has recently added broadcast-quality streaming video profiles. The latest videos feature the hottest products shown at January's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and interviews with Designtechnica's Janine Kurnoff. Most of these products are launching currently or will be available within the next few months.

Designtechnica's CES videos showcase a wireless sports camcorder from Samsung, a prototype rollable display screen for mobile devices by Philips, BenQ's Blu-ray optical disc writer, iRiver's U10 media player with direct click controls, and multiple devices by HP, Microsoft and Pioneer. Rebecca Lim of Vongo also explained how their new subscription-based online movie download service works (see accompanying video clip), demonstrating Vongo's flexibility with the LG PM70 Portable Media Center.

These and other broadcast-quality video reviews and previews are debuting as part of Designtechnica's new "Digital Trends" series. All Designtechnica videos are available for free, immediate viewing at www.designtechnica.com/videos.

News media interested in interviewing Designtechnica's experts about the latest consumer electronics trends and products or broadcasting segments of Designtechnica videos should call 503-297-4043 or 888-270-6707, ext. 80. All footage was shot in high-definition, wide-screen digital video and can be converted to any format or resolution.

"Other sites that specialize in news and reviews for the digital lifestyle don't produce video profiles of this caliber, so we're excited to fill this niche," said Ian Bell, editor-in-chief of Designtechnica. "We've already received tremendous feedback from consumers and advertisers."

Information about sponsorship of online videos (with no bearing on editorial content) and media kits for online advertising may be requested at 888-270-6707, ext. 86 or obtained online at Designtechnica.com.

With 2 million visitors each month, Designtechnica.com has become the first stop for trend leaders and early adopters seeking information about electronics that incorporate great design with cutting edge features and functionality. Products covered include MP3 players, PDAs, digital cameras, computers and peripherals, home audio, automotive electronics, video games and systems, multimedia projectors, televisions, satellite services, personal video recorders, cell phones and office furniture.
