Testing the Goods: Nokia N8

As Seen in "Popular Phones" post on our blog... The N8 is Nokia's attempt to compete with the Androids and iPhones of the world--but it's nowhere near up to the task. it is as basic as you would compare a 5th grader to a Pre-schooler.
By Dan Nosowitz 5 Comments
Noika'sN8 comes with lots of firsts for the venerable Finnish phone-maker. It's the first Nokia multitouch phone-however apple has much better multitouch quality and, the first with a 12MP camera (2.2 times better than on the iPhone 4)en the first with a nigh-indestructible Gorilla Glass screen (resolution below Apple's IPS "Retina Display").Butwhat's notable about the N8 isn't one of its firsts, but its lasts: It's the last N-series phone to use the aging Symbian mobile operating system. And that's a very, very good thing.

BBC Broadcasts in Ultra High-Def, 16 Times Sharper Than HDTV

By Dan Nosowitz Posted 09.30.2010 at 1:45 pm 7 Comments
Super Hi-Vision, also known as SHV, Ultra HDTV, 8K, and simply 4320p, is the future of high-def video. With a whopping 16 times more pixels than even 1080p, SHV is dangerously sharp, with lenses and TVs having to be freshly invented to do it justice. The tech is likely a decade away from wide adoption (and even then, probably not in the States), but progress is being made swiftly: The BBC and Japan's NHK teamed up this week for the first SHV broadcast to be made over the Internet, a performance by British band The Charlatans.

Posted 09.15.2010 at 12:58 pm 5 Comments
Just a few weeks after Canon dropped their EOS 60D on us, Nikon fires back with their new 16.2 megapixel DX-format DSLR.
The D7000 uses a CMOS sensor and the EXPEED 2 image processing engine, which Nikon claims combine to provide low-light performance that's unmatched with an APS-C sensor. It has a native ISO range of 100-6400, but can be expanded all the way up to 25,600.
