JVC, one of the sleeping Japanese electronics giants, has apparently decided that it wants a piece of that action sports personal video market with the launch of the Adixxion GC-XA-1. (Addiction, get it?), according to a post on Slashgear.com.
The camera weighs 0.28 pounds and is waterproof to a depth of 16.4 feet, shockproof with the ability to survive a drop from 6.5 feet up, and it’s dustproof and freeze proof as well. The outside of the camera is covered with a scratch resistant rubber texture and the rear LCD is a 1.5-inch unit. The camera also has dual standard tripod holes for mounting the camera on a tripod. . . Integrated Wi-Fi functionality allows the camera to sync with a smartphone wirelessly to frame a shot and check recording even when the camera is mounted in a spot that you can’t reach easily.
Sounds like just the camera we’ve been looking for.

Action headphone company Skullcandy has the honor of being one of the most shorted stocks on the market, but that hasn’t seemed to have slowed the stock down so much lately, according to a blurb on Investorguide.com.

Skullcandy has beat Wall Street estimates for the past four quarters. Meanwhile, institutional ownership of the stock has climbed from 50% to 69.18% in a single quarter, while short interest has risen from 5.1 million to 10.3 million.
It would seem that almost everyone has an opinion on Skullcandy’s future these days. We’re giving it a neutral.
