Apple iPhone 4G Leaked Pics

We came across some pictures this morning of a device that is claimed to be the iPhone 4G or iPhone HD as some are referring to it as. The image show the back cover of the device and it appears to be heavily inspired by the Apple iPad with squared edges rather than the smooth curves of the current iPhone.

Of course these could be fan made and probably are, but they still look good enough to publish here if not just to see what we might be in for when the official announcement is supposedly being made on June 22.

On the back of the casing, 64GB is etched on indicating that Apple [AAPL] are increasing the storage capacity of the iPhone, which to be honest, wouldn’t come as a surprise. Also it says Designed by Apple in California Assembled in China. [Read more…]

Nokia X6 Review

The Nokia X6 is a music phone that aims to join the touchscreen device area of phones that Apple, HTC and only a few others have managed to make happen well.

The phone it’s self looks to be a slider phone from when you first take it out of the box, but it’s actually not and just a touchscreen device with no stylus or physical keyboard. Reasons for believing it’s a slider is due to it being quite thick (13.8mm) which is a fair bit for a phone without a keyboard. Looks wise it looks quite sleek still even though a little fatter than most phones.

On the front of the device is a touchscreen that measures 3.2 inches. It is capacitive and has a resolution of 640 x 360 pixels which Nokia call nHD although of course, it’s no where near a HD screen in terms of pixels on the screen although it does look very clear when using the screen. Above that is a front facing camera that allows you to make video calls. Below the screen are three buttons which are send call, end call and menu. [Read more…]

iPhone HD Could be Unveiled June 22

Rumours are going around about Apple [AAPL] unveiling their next gen iPhone 4G, or iPhone HD or whatever it’s going to be called. The date rumoured is June 22

“For this particular occasion, Apple has once again reserved the very conference center where the company announced the three previous versions of the iPhone,” Messany reports. “So all signs, indeed, point to June 22nd proving the 4th gen iPhone’s ‘big day.’ Knowing Apple, however, we probably won’t know for sure until the evening of June 21st.”

Obviously this doesn’t provide concrete evidence, but it’s certainly the “right” time of year for Apple to make such an announcement (if they are indeed launching a new iPhone this year) and if they have followed the same pattern for the last 3 years then it makes sense they would hold it at the same location.

Phantom Flex Captures full HD 1080p at 2800 Frames Per Second

There’s a few cameras that come with the ability to capture video at a silly amount of frames per second rate nearing the 1000 mark and slightly above. However, such cameras normally work at a really low resolution of double digit resolutions.

The Phantom Flex is different in that it can amazingly capture up to 2800 frames per second at a Full HD resolution (ie, 1080p or 1920 x 1080 to be exact). That’s some impressive stuff there and certainly grabs out attention.

The sensor is capable of capturing 4K images at 1560 frames per second. Capturing some still respectable images with a 640 x 480 resolution you can then capture at a rate of 6300 FPS. [Read more…]
