Nokia N8 camera update arrives with continuous auto focus, 30 fps video
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAN8
The wait is over. Our friends at Nokia Beta Labs have just released an update to the N8’s native camera application. The update, available free at the Beta Labs website, adds support for continuous auto focus and 30fps video recording. First a Symbian Anna update and now a camera update? Not a bad month for the Symbian flagship if you ask us.
It’s no secret the Nokia N8 has an incredible camera. Up until today its video capabilities trailed behind the still photography. Taking the video recording speed from 15fps to 30fps opens the door to capturing fast-action video clips. Combined with continuous auto focus, the N8 not only replaces your point and shoot camera, it also replaces an entry-l...

Nokia E7 gets its price slashed down to $406 on Amazon
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAE7
When it was first made available on the US market, the Nokia E7 retailed for the whopping $680 on the company's online store. Sure, it was among the best handsets that Nokia could offer at the time, but its rather steep price probably made many who wanted to get one put their credit cards back in their pockets. If back then you also found the smartphone to your liking, but passed on it just because of the pile of cash you had to drop, Amazon is now giving you an opportunity to grab an E7 at a more reasonable price.

Apple could release newly designed Mac this year
Like UnlikeFiled in: Apple
Apple could be adding an entirely new product to its Mac lineup that is unlike anything the company currently has on sale.
According to a post on Japanese website macotakara.jp, the Cupertino company plans something "absolutely different from current products". Macotakara did recently get things right with the iPad 2 launch in March, so the rumours could be well founded.
The new product will be given a different name to anything else in Apple's lineup, although what exactly this will be remains to be seen.

AMD updates Fusion line-up with three new APUs
Like UnlikeFiled in: CPUAMDFusion E-450Fusion E-300Fusion C-60
AMD has introduced three new Fusion APUs belonging to the E-series and C-series. The new processors include the E-450, E-300, and C-60, which will replace current models on its respective price points and power output specifications.
As we learned in our review last February, the AMD Fusion platform combines Bobcat cores together with GPU cores to create Accelerated Processing Units (APUs). The Bobcat cores are a significant step ahead of Intel's Atom as they're out-of-order 64-bit cores.

More evidence Apple is testing 4G LTE iPhone and iPad emerges
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksCell PhonesAppleiPhone 4siPad 3
New evidence has emerged that further confirms Apple’s ongoing tests of an LTE-enabled iPhone and iPad. BGR exclusively reported last week that multiple Apple carrier partners are currently testing iPhone models equipped with LTE radios. Our source also supplied a PLIST file containing evidence of the LTE-enabled iPhone. Now, MacRumors has discovered this LTE.plist file in iOS 5 developer builds for both the GSM iPhone 4 and the CDMA iPad 2. While the discovery of these files does not necessarily indicate that Apple plans to release 4G LTE-compatible devices in the near future, it does reaffirm that ongoing tests are being conducted with the new high-speed wireless technology.

Fanatec's ClubSport racing wheel is definitely not for Sunday drivers
Like UnlikeFiled in: Gaming WheelsFanatec
The Fanatec ClubSport is coming this winter to steer that fine line between desirable and ridiculous. The wheel rim can be quick-released from the all-metal, ultra-customizable base, allowing you switch between a Formula style wheel (depicted), or GT, NASCAR and rally styles. Pricing will be equally hardcore: $450 (excluding taxes) for the base, plus between $150 and $300 for each rim, and an extra $200 if you want machined aluminum ClubSport pedals to match.

iPhone 3GS free on Monday at Best Buy
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 3GS
Best Buy gave the iPhone 3GS an informal sendoff Monday with a special one-day promo. Those who buy the phone in-store on August 22 only can get it for free when paired up with a two-year AT&T contract. Its deal makes it the cheapest route to an iPhone 3GS, cutting under a $9 refurb deal.
Apple is widely presumed to be phasing out the iPhone 3GS entirely when it introduces the iPhone 5. Some signs have already emerged that the iPhone 4 will be the new entry model. Canadian provider Koodo started supporting Apple this spring by only carrying the iPhone 4, hinting that Apple wanted to cut down on iPhone 3GS production.

HTC Evo 3D gets 6 Sept UK release date
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCEVO 3D GSM
The HTC Evo 3D is alive and kicking in the UK and coming to our shores in less than three weeks.
The Carphone Warehouse and Best Buy have announced pre-order is now online for the dimensionally-advanced handset and confirmed an HTC Evo 3D UK release date of 6 September.
However, it's not going to be cheap - the Evo 3D will set you back £36 per month on a (likely) two year deal - far more than the HTC Sensation, which comes in at £30 per calendar unit.

Dropbox, now Lion friendly
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsAppleMac OS X 10.7
Dropbox, the cloud based file sharing service for Macs, PCs, and mobile phones, has quietly rolled out an update for Mac OS X Lion users, bringing back a number of features that they’ve probably been missing.
The new update includes integration support for Mac OS X Lion 10.7, and a fix from 1.2.x; a rare issue (from 1.2.x) where certain Mac OS X machines wouldn't upload files automatically. There's also another fix of a bug from 1.2.x that caused the tray menu to become unresponsive on certain Linux machines.

Sonos promises Lion fix
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsAppleSonosMac OS X 10.7
Sonos has said that it has found the bug that is stopping users from streaming music to its multi-room wireless system when using Apple’s new operating system, Mac OS X Lion.
The bug, which breaks music playback, has left Apple users sitting in silence (if they wanted to listen to their own music), however it has been isolated and is being fixed promises Andrew Schulert, vice president of Quality.
“First things first. We’d like to apologise. We know that not being able to use your Sonos system with Lion (Mac OS X 10.7) has been a real drag,” the VP says in a letter on the company’s forum. “The long and the short of it. We began beta testing earlier this week and if all goes well, we expe...

HP TouchPad Android porting project started by the Touchdroid Team
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHPTouchPad
After HP decided to bring its discontinued webOS TouchPad tablet to fire sale prices, there have been a lot of warnings that people are buying an obsolete device with mobile OS that doesn't have the thousands of apps Android or iOS possess, but at $99 nobody listened, of course. And here comes the news of a project which aims to port Android to the ARM-based hardware on the HP TouchPad.
After all, in terms of silicon, it is up with the best out there, and, although new drivers have to be written and a lot of coding done, the so-called Touchdroid Team hopes to start off with Gingerbread and an eventual Cyanogen mod, then move on to either Android Honeycomb, or Ice Cream Sandwich, depending o...
