Apple iPad first of Several? New 15 Inch Model Coming Soon?

We thought that with the official announcement of the Apple iPad last week that it would put an end to all rumours about the iPad. However, we are still hearing several things such as the possibility of the device actually having a webcam built in. This particular rumour started because of an image captured at 9 minutes 9 seconds in to the Apple [AAPL] keynote speech last week where something was spotted in the top bezel of the iPad just above the screen. This small object could be just an ambient light sensor though although interestingly enough, MissionRepair received some iPad spare parts this week which an internal frame has a cut out that just happens to fit a MacBook webcam inside. Perhaps version two of the iPad isn’t far away.

The rumours don’t stop there though as the iPhone OS 3.2 also shows some reference for the iPad camera. A camera is not listed on the official specs although some are saying that the lack of a camera now could be due to a shortage of stock. It will be interesting to see if a webcam is in the line-up when the iPad is launched in a few weeks, but for now we believe it’s just a light sensor in that gap. [Read more…]

Canon EOS 60D and new Rebel Tipped for PMA Photography Expo

The PMA Photography Expo is just around the corner and a leak today makes mention that Canon could be showing off Digital SLR cameras with swivelling displays. Two new cameras were specifically mentioned which includes the Canon EOS 60D and a new Rebel which both are reported to feature an articulating LCD display to allow image capture at awkward angles.

The Canon 60D will fall in to the mid-range category of Canon DSLR cameras and the tipster mentions that the 60D will contain the same metal body of the EOS 50D along with the same 15 megapixel resolution although the sensor used to achieve that will be new. It is expected that the low-light sensitivity of the EOS 7D will be found in the 60D. [Read more…]

The Photosimile 5000 is a 3D camera system built by Ortery that can capture photos of objects and create 360 degree representations of those objects.

The system works by placing an object on a turntable in the middle of a light box. A computer controls the rotation of the turntable and the position of the camera that slides along a track automatically.

Windows Mobile 7 Details Roundup

WMExperts have put together a roundup of all the Windows Mobile 7 rumours that have been found around the internet recently. Something to point out here is that none of the information has been made official by Microsoft, so note that we are still looking at rumours.

The first rumour says that Windows Mobile 7 will be called just “Seven” with a couple of versions being made available which includes Business Edition and Media Edition. Those names might not be the official names, but basically cover what they will be about. Each version is expected to be on a different release track.

Business Edition of Seven appears to be the version launching first and will run a stripped down version of the media version and be more “business” like. The business edition of Seven will also sync to the cloud allowing information to be more easily accessed from several devices such as other computers, phones and netbooks. [Read more…]
