A Rant And Poll Concerning Digital Cameras vs. Camera Phones

by

DavidK wanted to do an article about the death of point and shoot cameras with the rise of decent camera technology in newer smartphones.  I was of the dissenting opinion that, despite having high mega-pixel ratings for camera phones, they still fall very far short of traditional camera designs for several reasons.  We were too lazy to duke it out but we did want to know what the readers thought.  To do an overall comparison between the two products we wanted to narrow it down to several categories for overall product value and not just performance.  The rundown will go like this: Price, Connectivity, Quality, Ease of Use, and Convenience.  Some of these categories will be a little more or less important than others, but I’ll try to keep the tech jargon to a minimum to get my point across.  I’ll run a poll after the breakdowns so you can tell us who was right or at least less wrong than the other.  Read on for perspective.

Konnet Technology Unveils New, Apple-Certified ReflexDock Pro

by

Arrgh… I’m using a different keyboard now, I’ve been using the same keyboard for almost four years now actually and every once in a while I take it apart and clean it out, they can get pretty dirty inside and out truly.. but it seems with this keyboard, the Das Keyboard, I’m making many more mistakes than usual, it’s a totally different size, it’s longer and the keys seem farther apart, so if I’ve got any errors that’s the reason.. why am I telling you this ?!

Anyway, if you’re looking for a nice dock for your iPhone or iPod then you might want to check out the Konnet ReflexDock pro. It’s not your typical dock though, this one allows you to hook your devices up to your TV to play music and view videos, essentially it puts a mirrored image on the TV screen for you, now only if your TV was a touch screen you’d be set huh?! It does the other stuff too like charging and syncing as well.. I bet you’re saying you never heard of Konnet right, well I have, I’ve got two of their products already one is the Xbox360Charging station that I reviewed over at Xbox360Digest and the other is their Wii induction Charging station that I reviewed over at Bona Fide Reviews, they’re both great quality and they work well..

The Day The Earth Stood Still

by

A funny thing happened at 1:00pm EST.  Apple announced their new iPhone 4 and there was no stampeding to write how the iPhone had reinvented the wheel.  Android and its Froyo upgrade seem to be safe for now.  WP7’s death nail should also be promptly removed. I firmly believe in the aftermath of Apple’s iPhone/iOS … Read more

iPhone 4 Details From WWDC

by

As almost everyone should know by now, Apple and Steve Jobs officially announced and demonstrated the iPhone 4 today at WWDC 2010. Steve Jobs says, “iPhone 4 is the biggest leap since the original iPhone” and I think I would totally agree with that statement. I think this new iPhone has by far had the biggest change in terms of hardware than any of the previous models. Also with the new hardware there will probably be more new apps and software for the phone as well. Here are some of the changes in the new iPhone 4.

First, is the new 3.5 inch Retina display has 960 x 640 pixels which is about 4 times as many pixels as the iPhone 3GS. The resulting 326 pixels per inch is so dense that the human eye is unable to distinguish individual pixels when the phone is held at a normal distance, making text, images and video look sharper, smoother and more realistic than ever before on an electronic display.

Next is the size and asthetics. The iPhone 4 is apparently the thinnest smartphone ever at 9.3mm which is about 0.36inches. The front and the back of the phone are made of aluminosilcate glass which is 30 times harder than plastic apparently, making it more scratch resistant and durable. Also  the front and back contain an oil coating which helps keep the phone clean and to wrap it all up the edges of the phone have a highly finished stainless steel which is five times stronger than standard steel according to the press release.

More information and photos after the break.
