It’s been a while since we last heard of Sony’s upcoming mirror-less interchangeable lens cameras but now the speculations about their premiere date can stop: the Sony NEX-3 and NEX-5 have just been officially announced!
While the NEX-3 is made of polycarbonate and shoots 720p HD videos, its bro, the NEX-5 comes with a noticeably smaller magnesium alloy body and is capable of taking 1080i AVCHD video clips. Basically, those are the differences between those two. Oh, and the 100 euro extra you’ll have to pay for the NEX-5.
The guys at Engadget had the wonderful opportunity to do a brief hands-on on a pre-release Nokia N8 unit in London. Thanks to their live shots, you can really see the N8 size in perspective.
Well, it is big. In woman’s hands, it’s HUGE! Nokia should really get some male hand models for future presentations of the device. Read more »
It seems Microsoft are in a hurry to launch their next generation controller – the motion-sensing camera Natal – because their new target release is somewhere in October, instead of the previously announced holiday season.
AMD have just announced the latest additions to their lineup of Athlon II CPUs. The five new members start from the budget-minded 3.2GHz dual-core Athlon II X2 260, which should retail for 76 US dollars, and climb up to to the 3GHz quad-core Athlon II X4 640 (MSRP 122 US dollars).
All the new processors are compatible with the AM3 and AM2+ sockets. While I doubt that the Athlon II X4 640 will be able to match the performance of even the cheapest Intel i5 quad-core processor, it’s going to retail for almost half of its price, making it an excellent choice for multi-taskers on a tight budget.
I’m eagerly waiting for those benchmarks to come out and show what those new chips are capable of.
After the invasion on Nokia N900 and Motorola MILESTONE, Quake 3 has now been ported on the Google Nexus One. It runs on medium 3D settings, but still feels good.
The new version of the popular Dolphin Browser is compatible with Android 2.x. It comes with plenty of features and tools, user-friendly touch-optimized UI and improved overall performance.
The notable features packed within Dolphin HD are the add-ons support, tabbed browsing, bookmarks sorting, automatic RSS recognition and YouTube video downloader.
Intel is about to release new low-powered i3 and i5 processors to replace the Atom family within the ultrathin laptops.
The new chips are designed specifically for usage in ultra-thin and portable laptops – the niche between the standard laptops and the netbooks. They use 32-nanometer manufacturing process and pack just one core but are capable of handling two threads.
Sony announced the new members of their VAIO P ultra-portable series and they sound exciting to say the least. Available in a selection of five different colors and weighing just over 600 grams the new Sony subnotebooks pack GPS, Digital compass, accelerometer and touchpad.
The built-in Everywair 3G module supports HSDPA (up to 7.2 Mbps) and there are two USB ports on board. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi b/g/n make up for a connectivity grand slam. But that’s by far not all that the new Sony VAIO P series have to offer. Read more »
We’ve all seen Apple‘s “I’m a Mac, I’m a PC” ads, Microsoft’s laptop hunter ads, but have you ever asked yourself, how much cash those big tech companies are spending on those sometimes informative, sometimes silly, sometimes downright annoying ads?
You’ve seen the guy running an Android OS port on their iPhone 2G phone and you’ve got your hands itching to give it a try? Boy, you’ll be glad to hear you are now able to install a similar Android OS port on your shiny iPhone 3G as well.
David Wang and a couple of his friends managed to port the Android OS on the iPhone 3G. It has almost full functionality and seems to work great.
The cool Android app Google Goggles has been updated with an awesome new feature. It is now capable of scanning and translating text along with its base functionality of recognizing buildings and places.
The translation works as expected – you point your device at some text, take a picture and you get your translation. Note that you may select only a specific area of interest, not the whole thing in front of you. Read more »
Not another iPad post, no! Sorry guys, we’re just excited over our new office gadget and that’s why it’s getting all the attention of us bloggers. As usual, if you don’t like a post, just skip it, alright?
Now the new iPad topic of the day is the ClamCase for iPad. It’s actually a 3-in-1 gadget – a Bluetooth keyboard, a stylish 360-degree flip case and a positioning stand. Inserting your iPad in the ClamCase will make it look just like a netbook. I bet Steve Jobs is clenching his teeth right now somewhere out there.
If you haven’t noticed it already Google updated their desktop and mobile search engines with new outfit. Now it’s easier than ever to sort, filter and organize your search results thanks to some new functionality docked on the left panel.
I’ve been playing Angry Birds for iPhone for quite a while now. I really thought it couldn’t possibly get any better until the iPad arrived in our office and I got a taste of the iPad optimized version.
Since then I tried several other of my favorite iPhone games in their dedicated large-screen versions and honestly, now I hate playing games on my iPhone. The big vivid capacitive screen of the iPad is the perfect tool for having fun with lots of the touch-based games initially introduced on the iPhone platform.
Angry Birds had been one of the first “blockbuster” games that have their HD versions for iPad. The gaming interface is the same as on the iPhone, but the experience is quite different. The larger graphics are much nicer, plus aiming and bombing pigs is that much easier. Read more »
