Packing a beautiful 4.2” screen, with massive 854×480 pixel resolution, its 8.1 megapixel camera packs a brand new Sony sensor. But with the power of Android, it won’t just let you take photos, it’ll give you X-ray vision too.

You see, that pairing of screen and camera mean augmented reality (AR) apps, which overlay information on the world as seen through the camera lens, work like Clark Kent on the trail of a hot scoop. Read on, and we’ll introduce you to five of the best, most entertaining, useful and downright powerful AR apps to run on the Arc.

Virgin Media TiVo review

We’ve been tracking the new Virgin Media TiVo service for a full year since it was first announced, and while a lot has happened in twelve months, you can now nab one for installation underneath your telly, just as we have.

The Virgin Media TV powered by TiVo is actually TiVo’s second foray into the UK, with the first in 2000 failing to gain traction on this side of the pond. The new TiVo however, backed by big baller Virgin Media, could make amends, especially with a focus on search and internet TV. In this Virgin Media TV powered by TiVo review we will see if this next-gen box was worth the wait.

Nikon Coolpix S9100 review

The Nikon Coolpix S9100 is Nikon’s latest compact camera. It’s aimed squarely at the consumer arena, and after plenty of DSLRs of late and a “prosumer” compact from the imaging giant, that’s a good thing. A lot of similar cameras in this target market try to be all things to all men. By packing in supposedly ‘pro’ functionality, most of these competitors muddy what a good point and shoot should be – fun, and easy to use.

For the Nikon S9100, fun and easy pretty much sums it up. It is by no means lacking in punch though; with a 12.1MP sensor, 18X zoom lens, image stabilization – even at high zoom, powerful built in flash and macro mode.
In this Nikon Coolpix S9100 review, we”ll take a look at the highs and lows of this great little camera.

The Nikon Coolpix P500 is a strange thing. It is aimed at those who are bored with point and shoot, but not quite ready for the dizzying array of buttons and options of a DSLR.

On paper the Nikon Coolpix P500 is a very tempting camera. It features a Nikkor 36X zoom lens, 12.1 megapixel sensor, Full 1080p HD video recording and a large 3-inch angled viewing screen. In this Nikon Coolpix P500 review we’ll see if it performs as well as it claims to do.

Nikon D7000 review

The Nikon D7000 is Nikon’s latest consumer-professional crossover camera, offering a raft of features at a price that won’t bankrupt. Though aimed at the amateur enthusiast photographer, the feature set allows for plenty of customisation should you want to get a little more hands-on. Amongst its feature list the D7000 offers a 16.2 megapixel sensor, full HD movie recording and image stabilisation, as well as dual SD card slots for maximum storage capacity. It is however not without fault. Let’s delve a little deeper into the features to find out where it shines and where it falls down, in our full Nikon D7000 review.
