Move over, Canon Digital IXUS. In a bid to usurp the title of the world's slimmest, smallest and lightest 2-megapixel digital camera, Minolta has launched a petite beauty in DiMAGE X, touted as the world's most compact 3X optical zoom digital camera.

Just a glance at the camera's dimensions (84.5 x 72 x 20mm, 135g) and its sleek silvery casing is enough to convince you that this gadget is nothing short of a technological marvel. The camera is kept ultra-slim, thanks to Minolta's revolutionary planar lens system, leaving you to enjoy a quiet 3X zoom without the bulge of other cameras.

Aside from superior image quality, the DiMAGE X also impresses with its fast start-up time (you can shoot after approximately 1.8 seconds after you press the ON button). In addition, you can record movie clips and voice memos, store images on SD memory cards and use the camera's USB interface for data transfer.

Here's a techno gizmo that you can show off on your wrist and elegant enough to be worn to posh parties. Did you say cyber-cool?

The object of affection is the Citizen Promaster Cyber Aqualand, a good-looking computerised diving watch that keeps and displays all the essential data a diver needs -- like the depth meter (with fully automatic water sensor switch), a 200-hour diving log, calculation of your body's residual nitrogen, and so on.

It also has a variety of alarms -- like diving alarm, depth alarm, rapid ascent warning alarm etc. -- to alert you on crucial scenarios. As a diving watch, the Promaster Cyber Aqualand is (aptly) water resistant to 200m. In addition, the watch features customised setting through USB cable connected to a PC or via infrared.
