Pentax has just released the Optio V20, which is serving as an upgrade to the current V10. The new V20 comes with a few additional features, but keeps much of the same specs such as screen size. One of the main upgrades includes zoom going from 3x to 5x and Digital SR mode to ISO 3200 and ISO 6400. Additionally, the LCD screen size remains the same at 3-inches. Some additional, new, and neat features are its smile recognition software as well as blink detection. Unfortunately, this is only set to be released in Japan for now. Expect this digital camera sometime next month costing around $288 US. Keep reading for another picture of the V20, which shows off its backside.

A fantastic new portable media player has emerged today from Mpio which combines up to 8GB built in memory with a sleek, 15.4mm (0.6-inches) thick, 3.81-ounce shell. The V10 is running Windows CE 5.0 and can support an array of video formats such as H.264, DivX, MPEG and VOB. Of course this isn’t all the V10 has to offer, it comes with MP3 playback, an FM radio, e-book reader, photo viewer and it even has an electronic dictionary.
