Sony NEX-FS100 review

We've been uncommonly keen to get our hands on the Sony NEX-FS100 ever since we first heard about it back in March. You see, this is no ordinary camcorder. Its spec sheet reads like a liturgy of filmmakers' prayers: a large Super 35mm Exmor CMOS sensor, interchangeable lenses, XLR inputs and proper, professional controls. Sure, it comes with a $6,600 price tag to match, but it also heralds a trend that should ultimately benefit pros and ordinary gadget denizens alike: the ...

Samsung’s Defense: iPad-like device seen in 2001 a Space Odyssey [Patent War]

A YouTube video uploaded by septemberx on Feb 11, 2010 has been cited in the Apple vs. Samsung legal case. “In a clip from that film lasting about one minute, two astronauts are eating and at the same time using personal tablet computers”. Samsung’s argument is that what Apple calls the “iPad design” (a rectangular, flat computer, to simplify – check the patent) has been seen in prior art, and that Apple did not “invent” the notion of tablet computers.

The upcoming iPhone 5 will almost certainly be a single phone that supports multiple networks, namely CDMA (such as the one used by Verizon or Sprint in the United States) as well as GSM (which is used by AT&T and T-Mobile in the U.S.). This has been rumored before , and even at one point half confirmed by a Verizon executive , but nothing like some good old evidence from the field to turn a rumor into a near-certainty. I was recently approached by a developer of ...
Refurbished 16GB iPad 1 Drops To $299

While $300 for a tablet might seem insanely high after this weekend’s $100 TouchPad frenzy , it’s still a decent buy. I still find it hard to recommend existing budget Honeycomb tablets over the iPad when I’m talking to people who aren’t into tech, and this makes its case even stronger. iPad or netbook? For some people the choice is obvious, for others not so much. But at $300 neither both are good deals. Still not sure? Let’s take a look at the other options. The new ...
