- A loud voice shouts Help this laptop is reported lost or stolen
Front Door Software Corp has launched a Retriever program that combats laptop theft. If a thief fails to enter the correct password, a loud voice shouts, "Help, this laptop is reported lost or stolen," from the speaker. A message saying "Stolen laptop" and contact information of the owner appears onscreen every 30 seconds. Retriever also begins tracking down the location of the laptop while sending out the warning message. As soon as the laptop is turned on, it will automatically connect to the internet by searching for a Wi-Fi network then send its location information to the Front Door Software website. The owner of the stolen laptop can check its location online and report it to the police. The owner can set a password on the website to hide important information stored in the laptop.

Combining the unmatched compact, lightweight design of the Olympus E-420 with the advanced features of the Olympus E-520, notably its built-in image stabilization mechanism, the new Olympus E-620 digital SLR camera offers a level of convenience and portability unprecedented in a camera this sophisticated. High picture quality is ensured by a 12.3-megapixel High-Speed Live MOS Sensor and the new TruePic III+ image processing engine. The E-620 also offers top-of-its-class high-speed performance with a newly developed 7-point AF system for fast, accurate autofocusing and high-speed sequential shooting at 4 frames per second.

- Olympus FL-BK04 Flash Bracket and FL-BKM03 Twin Flash Bracket for professional photographers
Olympus today announced the launch of the FL-BK04 Flash Bracket and FL-BKM03 Twin Flash Bracket. A flash bracket is the support device used to mount an external flash on the side of a camera. It is usually used by professional photographers and camera buffs in such applications as news gathering, portrait shooting or macro shooting, in order to avoid unnatural shadows which may appear in the photograph when the external flash is mounted on top of the camera, or to prevent the flash itself or flash attachment from being damaged due to the contact. Both the newly released Olympus FL-BK04 Flash Bracket and Olympus FL-BKM03 Twin Flash Bracket are designed so that they do not interfere with the dual-axis LCD monitor, ensuring that the user will be able to continue to enjoy free-angle Live View shooting.
