Gizmodo has put a bunch of SDHC cards through their paces to find out the king of SDHC speed. The clear winner was the Lexar 4GB Class 6, which surprisingly has not made it onto the TX1 compatible flash card list. If anyone has one of these in the TX1, please let us know how it performs.

Well now that we've all got TX1's that can shoot in HD, is anyone out there planning on producing a video podcast or video for the web? There is now quite a bit of HD podcast content being produced and made available for download. Most of these are served through the iTunes store, all of them for free, but not necessarily easy to find.
So, one of my other projects has been to come up with a definitive list of all the Hi-Def and Apple TV compatible podcasts that you can download and watch on your high-res PC monitor, or better still, on your HDTV via a media centre or Apple TV.
To date there's over 40, with around half of these being true HD (720p or better). They range from tech related news to food and cooking, travel, comedy, health and lifestyle, news, science and music.
I've watched them all, and the good news is that with the move to HD, most podcast producers are also lifting the overall quality of the production and content. Many are using good mics and even green screen to really make these shows look professional.
My top 3 picks from the list of 40 are...
