Wednesday lunchtime – we’re halfway to the weekend folks! To celebrate, why not take a minute to sit back and catch up on all the tech news you might have missed this morning. It’s all in the lunchtime lowdown after the jump!
February, 2009
Halo Wars will continue to get updates from its original developer, despite the studio behind it – Ensemble Studios – being disbanded by Microsoft. The same team, also well-known for its Age of Empires games, went on to form Robot Entertainment and have now confirmed that they’ll be providing online support and community management for Halo Wars, as well as working on the DLC they hinted at earlier.
Canon has just updated its Digital IXUS range to include HD video recording. The Flip might as well go home, to be honest. All the details on Canon’s new Digital ISUX line after the break.
UPDATE: We’ve just put a whole gallery of CoPilot Live on Android shots in. Check them out after the jump.
CoPilot Live just broke cover on Android. We’ve already spotted CoPilot Live running on the iPhone, but since Apple’s dragging its heels on allowing full-blown satnav software on its handset, it’s great news that owners of the T-Mobile G1 and HTC Magic will soon be able to navigate properly. You never know, maybe it’ll chivvy Apple along too.
We’re seriously impressed with the Nokia N86 8MP. It’s Nokia’s first 8 megapixel camera phone, and has made quite a splash.
See, the N86 8MP doesn’t just pack an improved sensor, there are Carl Ziess optics, a wide angle lens and ultra-quick mechanical shutter. Get a close up look in our hands-on photos after the break!
Xbox 360’s RRoD issues have been a thorn in Microsoft’s side since the console’s earliest days. It has cost the company an estimated $1billion to extend its warranty to account for the broken consoles and an untold amount in lost sales. However, Microsoft believes that it has put the dark days behind it and is ready to move forward.
Canon has just released a waterproof PowerShot camera, the PowerShot D10. Dive in and get all the specs after the jump!
