Hitachi released its latest AV projector, the CP-X10000. Features include: 7500 lumens brightness, a contrast ratio of 2500:1, a wide-angle, full digital video processor 10-bit, a lamp of a lifetime of 10,000 hours, RS-232 network bridge.

It has a bayonet system which allows you to choose the best optical according to the rooms where you are. The price is not known yet.

Today, Hitachi Maxell has marketed its HP-NC20.IPS headphones. They are capable of reducing ambient noises and don’t require batteries because they use directly the iPod battery (and other compatible models). They have their own settings for the sound. The drawback, these headphones can reduce the battery standby time of the iPod up to 66%, if they are connected. Hitachi Maxell ensures that the headphones can reduce up to 20dB and it works only with the 4G iPods, 1G and 2G iPod touches. The iPhone is not supported. The Hitachi-Maxell HP-NC20.IPs headphones go on sale in Japan from December 12th. Price: $80.

This is certainly not the ideal product to watch a movie and sip a small cocktail, but here is the CP-X809J, a video data projector built for the office and durability.
The projector uses a “Inorganic Panel” which enables it to offer 5000 lumens, all with a 275W lamp, an HDMI port and 4×4W speakers with SRS WOW. Price: $8500 in Japan.

One more clamshell for Hitachi, the W63H, equipped with a 3.1″ OLED display (resolution 480×800 pixels), 1-Seg support, all sizes of 50×110×17.4mm, for 123g. No price, but 3 colors: orange, black or white.
