Panasonic only unleashed its last micro four thirds camera (the Panasonic Lumix GF2) in the UK six months ago but the successor has officially arrived.
Behold the Panasonic Lumix GF3 which the camera cobbler claims is the smallest Micro Four Thirds snapper yet. Rejecting the retro-style of the Lumix GF2, the Panasonic Lumix GF3 is a much more modern-looking aluminium clad beast but what’s lurking beneath the surface…
Hidden within the beta build of iOS 5 are grand plans to transform the OS from a contender to trendsetter. Arguably, some of the features making headlines are not Apple originals, but instead draw from the foundations created by Windows Phone, Android and even BlackBerry OS. With more than 200 new features headed to the OS there’s bound to be overlap. Here’s 5 secrets iOS 5 is bringing to the table.
The long arm of the law knows no bounds. Spanish police are reporting the arrest of three suspects accused in last month’s PlayStation Network hack. Taking down the network for nearly a month and compromising more than 80 million user accounts will lead to quite a lengthy wrap sheet.
The three suspects, all part of the #Anonymous hacker group, were leaders in Barcelona, Alicante and Almeria. By rather unconventional means the Spanish police broke the news on its Twitter page, “Spanish Police dismantle the #Anonymous hacker group in Spain. They attacked #PlayStation Store”.
The Android Market is a work in progress. Yesterday Google updated its application store to include a list compatible handsets beneath each title. Although screening was previously available while browsing on an Android smartphone, the update is particularly useful for those who browse and install via the web store.
Unfortunately Google made one major omission with the update. They forgot to include a filter for Honeycomb apps. As an Android tablet owner I cannot begin to explain my frustration in finding quality Honeycomb-optimized apps. We are no closer to solving the issue today than we were several months ago when 3.0 launched.
This is just getting silly now. The Crystal Acoustics MediaMatchBox is a HD digital media player that’s even smaller than its last effort, the Pico HD 5.1. This one’s the size of a credit card – but it does even more.
It appears Codemasters has a lot more in common with the PlayStation Network than we previously suspected. The company is now the proud owner of a major data breach, resulting in all customer information being compromised.
If you’re a Codemaster’s customer, the computer games publisher should be sending out an email alerting you of the unauthorized entry which affected codemasters.com, both corporate and sub-domains, DiRT3 vip code redemption page and the Codemaster’s EStore.
Meet the Microsoft App Guy, Redmond’s new mascot to help developers port their Android apps over to Windows Phone 7. Microsoft’s clearly taken a leaf out of Google’s book by using an adorable emblem for its OS, but wait a second – doesn’t he look kind of familiar?
Well, Washington does share a border with Canada, we suppose…
Steve Jobs might not fancy the 7-inch tablet craze, but apparently Chinese manufacturers producing white-box tablets have a different take. Figures released by industry insider DigiTimes report 7-inch models will account for 60 percent of output in 2011.
Following the 7-inch tablets will be 8-inch models at 15 percent and 9.7-inch models at 10 percent. Research shows that consumers in China are more sensitive to price and favor products with high performance to price ratio. As a result, 7-inch models now attract the most attention.
