Yesterday we found some leaked pictures of a new Panasonic 3D camcorder named the HDC-SDT750. Panasonic has now officially released the details of the 3D camcorder.

Panasonic has announced the HDC-SDT750 as the worlds first consumer 3D camcorder. it comes with a 3D conversion lens that lets users capture video in 3D for playback on a 3D TV.

“As a result of research conducted through Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory, Panasonic developed a professional 3D system camera and successfully brought high-quality Full HD 3D images to the home for viewing on Panasonic VIERA Full HD 3D televisions. But now, Panasonic has taken it one step further and developed the world’s first consumer 3D camcorder, the HDC-SDT750 creating a 3D ecosystem available for consumers in the home,” said Chris Rice, Senior Product Manager, Imaging, Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company. “Incorporating Panasonic’s professional broadcast technology and bringing it to an easy-to-use consumer model, the SDT750 makes high-quality 3D video content a reality in the home.”

Apple iOS 4.1 Beta 2 Released for Developers

Apple [AAPL] has released the next Beta version of iOS 4.1 numbered Beta 2. The new beta brings a few changes to the original Beta of 4.1 that was released recently.

The iOS 4.1 build is available only for developers at the moment and can be installed on all compatible iPhones and iPod touches which includes the iPhone 3G, 3GS, 4 as well as later generation touches.

Items changed in the new beta 2 includes a new baseband for the iPhone 4, 3GS and 3G which means you should hold off unlocking. Apple mentioned in the antenna conference the other week that they continually tweak the baseband to get better results, so we assume there will be some slight differences to antenna performance, but no where near a full fix as Steve Jobs confirmed it couldn’t be sorted with software.

Google [GOOG] has updated Google Maps for Android bringing it up to version 4.4. The new version includes a dedicated Places icon for the home screen that allows you to quickly grab details of nearby places.

Dell Streak Price Spotted

The Dell Streak price was briefly shown on the Dell site earlier today although Dell has since pulled the page off line.

While the page was up, the pricing for the Streak showed a cost of $299.99 on a two year contract with AT&T [T] with a price tag of $549.99 off contract.

With Dell pulling the page from it’s site, there is a slim chance it could be changed closer to the release date (which is any day now we believe). However, we think the prices will probably stick. [Read more…]

Apple Mac Pro Announced – Arriving August

Apple [AAPL] has announced the new Apple Mac Pro today along with several other new Apple products. The new Mac Pro is a powerful computer that can contain from 4, 6, 8 or 12 cores. The processors used to achieve this are the Quad-Core Intel Xeon “Nehamel” or the new “Westmere” series. The Mac Pro accepts up to two processors which means if you choose a 6-core Westmere you can have up to 12-cores running inside with a speed up to 2.93GHz. Other options with less cores take speeds up to 3.33GHz on the top end.

Many multicore processors are composed of two separate dies, which means some cached data has to travel outside the processor to get from core to core. That’s an inefficient way to access information. Enter the Quad-Core and 6-Core Intel Xeon processors. Their single-die, 64-bit architecture makes 8MB or 12MB of fully shared L3 cache readily available to each of the processor cores. The result is fast access to cache data and greater application performance. Combine that with the other technological advances and you get a Mac Pro that’s up to 1.5x faster than the previous generation.

ShutterSnitch Lets Eye-Fi Sent Pics to iPad

ShutterSnitch is an app built for the iPhone and iPad that lets Eye-Fi wireless SD cards communicate and drop photos on to it.

The app saves you buying an iPad camera kit although the downside is that Eye-Fi cannot communicate with the iPad or iPhone direct. Instead, you need to have a router or MiFi type device installed so that an infrastructure wireless connection can be created from the iPad to router and from the Eye-Fi to the same router allowing both devices to then talk.

To get the whole system working you need an iPad, Camera, Eye-Fi card and a Router, most of which those who want to do this will already have. [Read more…]
