HTC Windows Phone could pack record-breaking 16-megapixel camera

HTC may be working on a Windows Phone 7 handset that features a record-breaking 16-megapixel camera, as well as two LED flashes.The smart phone in question appears in a video posted by PocketNow. The website doesn't say where it found the ad, and the flick doesn't give the name of the phone or details about any of its other specs. Add in the fact that the phone looks like the HTC Desire S with some Windows Phone 7 buttons grafted on, and you may wish to locate your nearest beard and stroke it in a sceptical fashion.Still, if the video's genuine, a 16-megapixel snapper might be worth having a dribble over. It would be the highest-resolution camera yet seen

HTC Flyer available for pre-order

The Flyer might be lacking Android 3.0 Honeycomb thrills but, as HTC's first tablet, it's still attracting its fair share of attention. Now you can pre-order one from the Carphone Warehouse, albeit with a meaty £600 price tag attached.That price is for the SIM-free version of the device. Carphone Warehouse's listing made us fall off our chairs in surprise, with the company describing the Flyer as 'in stock'. But SlashGear says it was informed by Carphone Warehouse that the device won't actually ship until May.Carphone Warehouse isn't the only company offering the HTC Flyer for pre-order. Clove lists the device for the same price, but claims that its first stock will arrive in mid-April. Amazon is going with a £600 price tag too, but claims a release date of 5 May. Take

Nokia X7

Get excited, people -- this is the Nokia X7. The Finnish phone floggers flouted the X7 today, but is it excellent or excruciating?The X7 reminds us of the days when every phone wanted to look like a prop from Star Trek rather than trying to look exactly like the iPhone.

On the back is an 8-megapixel camera with dual-LED flash, which also shoots 720p high-definition video.Under the bonnet is a 680MHz processor, GPS, an accelerometer and 802.11n Wi-Fi. It comes with

Chronic Dev Team Putting On The Finishing Touches On GreenPois0n iPad 2 Jailbreak

Joshua Hill of the Chronic Dev Team has confirmed today that since untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.3.1 is already out, they are now focusing on finishing the iPad 2 jailbreak which mostly likely will be packaged into an updated version of GreenPois0n.It is important to note here that Apple has already patched iPad 2 jailbreak exploit in iOS 4.3.1 which was found by Comex on iOS 4.3. Since Chronic Dev Team hasn’t announced on whether their new jailbreak will work on iOS 4.3.1 (or the upcoming iOS 4.3.2) or not, therefore to be on the safe side, it will be better to stay on iOS 4.3.

Can the iPad 2's camera see through clothes?



 

We're seeing the above video spreading around the Internet, and while it's cool, and it's based on real science, we're calling an early April Fools' gag. U.K. comedian, tech-head, and all-around good nerd Jason Bradbury is seen in the vid using a pair of cheap night vision goggles, cling wrap, and an iPad2'scameratotake a revealing photo of himself--through his clothes. The idea is based on an inadvertent side effect that some camcorders with low-light functions experienced about a decade ago. The cameras worked by emitting infrared light via special LEDs. The

Sony Android Honeycomb tablet

Sony will enter tablet battle with Apple's iPad 2 before the nights draw in, if reports in Japanese newspaper Nikkei are to be believed.

His claim that Sony is making cameras for Apple chimed with reports earlier this year that the company has won the contract to make 8-megapixel image sensors for upcoming iOS devices.
9 to 5 Mac and the Wall Street Journal reported Stringer's comments separately, albeit with a certain amount of paraphrasing. The WSJ has him saying, "It always puzzles me: why would I make Apple the best camera?" While 9 to 5 Mac

Windows Phone 7 updates

Windows Phone users have been discovering the downside of Microsoft's desire to stay on the good side of its mobile network partners: updates to the software only arrive on handsets when the operator has finished testing them, much like Android. This means many people face a lengthy lag between Microsoft releasing an update and it landing on their phone, so there's cause for frustration.It should come as no surprise that someone's taken it into their own hands to solve the problem, although we'll warn you right away that this is something for the braver members of the WP7 community, who don't mind risking a bricked handset.
