    Casio shows off the Green Slim Projectors, for gamers

    Gamers listen up. You know that 40-inch LCD you’re proud to show your friends when playing FIFA 11, the one that cost $1100. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a much bigger screen for that same price? Have you forgotten about projectors?

    Casio’s rugged digital camera EX-G1 gets 2 limited edition colors (in Japan)

    Posted on June 8, 2010 | No Comments
    When Casio's rugged digital camera, the Exilim EX-G1, came out last year, it received great reviews (for example, from us). And it appears as if the 12.1MP device sold really well, too, as Casio today in Japan announced [JP] two limited edition colors (the EX-G1 GN in green and the EX-G1 SR in silver).

  • Review: Casio GA-100 G-Shock Sports Watch

    Review: Casio GA-100 G-Shock Sports Watch

    Posted on April 30, 2010 | No Comments
    The G-Shock is a tough watch to love. They're Casio's answer to the Timex Ironman and, while they're quite rugged, the line has drifted towards Swatch-esque fashion models. Well, I'm glad to report the GA-100 brings it all back home with a world-time feature and stop watch that brings to mind the Citizen Skyhawk series with its dedicated readout windows below bold hands. The so-called "Three Eye" design (I guess the three dials - one analog and two digital - are the eyes? Whatever) and huge hands make this thing quite readable. The watch is light - about 70g - the watch is surprisingly cheap at about $99. It has a 1/1000th of a second stop watch, countdown timer, 29 time zones, and four alarms. It is shock and magnetically resistant, so you can wear it in the hatch in Lost.

    Casio releases the PAW5000-1 Pathfinder Watch

    Posted on April 30, 2010 | No Comments
    Call me a sucker for a Pathfinder, Casio's monstrous sports watches designed for hiking, camping, and cage fighting. The PAW5000 uses the same quad-sensor movement as the other Pathfinder models including a digital compass, altimeter, barometer, and thermometer. Instead of an LCD display, however, the central seconds hand acts as the main indicator, offering a physical view of the various read-outs and cleaning up the face considerably.

    CrunchDeals: Casio Men’s Databank Watch for $20

    Posted on April 16, 2010 | No Comments
    I remember I had a Casio calculator watch that could pick lottery numbers. Why? I don't know. I think I also had a data bank watch, very similar to this one, that I was able to use to keep all of my important phone numbers at age twelve. Those numbers probably included my friend Danny's, my friend Richie's, and maybe my own home phone number. Anyway, you can get one for yourself for $19.99 with one penny shipping.

    This $70 Casio Exilim is purple but it’s priced at over $100 just about everywhere else, so let’s just go with it. It looks more pink to me, but Woot says it’s purple and who am I to question Woot? Speaking of Woot, that’s where you can get this deal (today only).

    I don't get GPS in cameras. There have been times (not many, but there have) when I've been out taking pictures and don't necessarily want the whole world to know where I was. Casio's new EX-10HG camera is going to take that option away from me, with their new GPS-enabled point and shoot camera.

    Back in February 2009, we reported about Casio adding the PRX-2000T to its Protrek series of watches for sports and trekking enthusiasts. And today, about one year later, Casio announced [JP] the Protrek PRW-5000/PRW-5000T, which at $630 ($780 for the 5000T) is considerably cheaper than its $1,000 predecessor. (These are the Japanese street prices.)

    New Japanese cell phone maker NEC-Casio to go America in 2010

    Posted on December 21, 2009 | No Comments
    As MobileCrunch reported back in August, three of Japan's eight top cell phone makers, namely NEC, Casio and Hitachi are going to merge their cell phone businesses next year. Under the agreement, NEC plans to integrate its handset division into a tie-up that already existed between Hitachi and Casio starting April 2010 (the begin of the new fiscal year under the Japanese business calendar). In the meantime, the companies involved decided on a name for the new venture: NEC Casio Mobile. The company's capitalization stands at a relatively modest $55 million, with NEC holding a 71% stake, Casio 20% and Hitachi 9%. And as I speculated in my previous article, that new company plans to enter the global market in a (relatively) aggressive way.

    Verizon launches hardcore Casio G’zOne Rock

    Posted on November 19, 2009 | No Comments
    It doesn't sound as hardcore as its predecessor, the Boulder -- but Verizon's just-introduced Rock is actually the company's most functional Casio G'zOne model to date. Though it looks quite similar to the outgoing model, the Rock's headlining addition is the so-called Triple Sensor -- something certain G-Shock owners might already be familiar with -- which allows the phone to offer an integrated thermometer, compass, and pedometer. It also features touch-sensitive music controls, a 2 megapixel cam, and -- you guessed it -- mil-spec 810F compliance for resistance to the everyday ails of the world like water, dust, and sun exposure. It'll be available online starting tomorrow for $199.99 on contract after rebate, while stores pick it up a few days later on the 30th.

    Verizon launches hardcore Casio G'zOne Rock originally appeared on Engadget Mobile on Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:21:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

    A quick glance at the Casio EX-G1 doesn't revel that the camera is a rugged-type model. It's just too good looking. But then you might start to notice that the dials are recessed and reinforced and the case seems like it could work underwater. (it can) It's just that Casio managed to out a 12.1 MP ruggedized camera that's actually a looker.

    OLED can still pretty much be considered a thing of the future, but we're getting closer to use the technology in our homes every month. Today, Casio Computer announced [JP] it has teamed up with Tokyo-based technology company Toppan Printing to develop and produce OLED panels. The new joint venture will start operations from April 2010, with both companies involved saying they'll focus on manufacturing OLED panels sized ten inches and smaller first (like the one you see in the picture).
