The Nikon D3100 is the Japanese firm’s latest video-equipped DSLR, and its most movie-centric swappable lens camera yet. While old Nikons shot Motion JPEGs and were restricted to 720p HD, the Nikon D3100 shoots full 1080p video in a far more widely supported MPEG4 H.264 format. Sadly, Nikon’s designers haven’t quite gone the whole hog and made the D3100 a real movie-maker’s dream – read on to find out why in our Nikon D3100 review.
An official Twitter Windows Phone 7 app just rolled onto the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace to make amends for the lack of tweets in your People hub. Naturally, we loaded it up on our HTC HD7 and gave it a whirl: read on for photos and our first impressions.
It’s hard to believe, but the weekend is almost upon once more. There’s still a full day of headlines about to come pouring in though before then, so prepare yourself with our roundup right here in techie breakie.
How do you promote 3D TV? Sport? Not everyone’s into that. Films? Pick the wrong one and you’ll switch most people off.

It’s recreated the solar system in 3D using gigantic floating planet balloons!
Sky Anytime+, the upgraded video on demand service for Sky satellite subscribers, is set to begin rolling out at the end of the month. Huzzah! Any Sky+HD customers who also have Sky broadband (Sky Unlimited and Sky Everyday Lite packages only at first ) will be able to watch programs when they like for free – from channels they’re already coughing up for, natch.
The twist is, you can watch while you download, and once a show has finished being sucked down, it’ll stay on your Sky+HD box, no 28 days limits or such nonsense. Look out for it soon, and in the meantime click the image above to peruse our gallery and see what Sky Anytime+ will look like.
Seen our Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare single player DLC preview? Then you’ll no doubt be looking forward to its 26th October release date. You didn’t think Rockstar was going to leave out multiplayer did you? As well as a single player campaign, the DLC features an Undead Overrun mode where the aim is to survive against waves of zombies. We got to play it ahead of release. Read on for our first impressions.
HTC has revealed that its new alternative to Google Maps (and Bing and Yahoo and Ovi and all the other maps, we suppose) HTC Locations has a secret ingredient – TomTom.
As we said earlier today, the HTC HD7 was kind of inevitable. People fell head over heels in love with HTC’s 4.3-inch skinny smartphone form factor when the HTC HD2 debuted last year, so it was only natural for HTC to give it a bit of Windows Phone 7 juice. It’s now done so, it’s now on sale, and having reviewed it, we’ve now given it a spot in our Best HTC phone Top 5. But where?
