Hasselblad has introduced two new cameras to its H System of medium format cameras. First comes the H4D-60 with a 60MP sensor. It features the ‘True Focus’ AF system that can measure the movement of the camera when recomposing after focusing to ensure that focus remains on the target - a system Hasselblad calls Absolute Position Lock. Along with the H4D-60, the company has also launched the H4D-50 with a 50MP sensor, replacing the H3DII-50. The H4D-60 will start shipping from November 2009 at a retail price of €28,995 and the H4D-50 will ship in the first quarter of 2010 at a retail price of €19,995.

SmartScreen for iPhone (video)
Sunday, September 27th, 2009
“The iPhone’s standby screen has long been unused real estate. Sure you can pop a picture on there and it does show the time and any alerts/texts you have waiting, but apart from that pretty basic setup there isn’t much happening there. Well MediaPhone are looking to take care of that with a nice wee app to allow users to install widgets on the standby screen that can show various information. Unfortunately this app won’t be available through the App Store, rather you will have to have a jailbroken iPhone to use this.” via mobile-review.com
Nokia Surge Review at brighthand!
Saturday, September 26th, 2009
“The Nokia Surge – sold overseas as the 6790 – has a slider QWERTY design. However, unlike many other smartphones with this price point or design, the Surge’s doesn’t offer any other means of inputing content other than its QWERTY.Over my extended time with the Surge, I’ve found that it is not only extremely pocket friendly, but also that the 2.2-inch screen (320 x 240 pixel resolution) is very clear and usable in all conditions.Below the screen (or to the right of it depending on your orientation) are three function buttons, and then another set of buttons for the soft keys, call, end/power buttons and 5-way directional pad.My major gripes with the design of the Surge comes in its attraction to fingerprints, and the function buttons being too small.Being an entry-level device, the plastic body fits in well, though doesn’t feel cheaply put together.” Read more here:

But the new pictures give a better sense of what they will offer.According to a pair of unconfirmed reports, one of these will be codenamed Turtle. It will have a square-ish shape and sport a sliding keyboard (see image at left).The other will supposedly be code-named the Pure, and will have a more rectangular design, but also be a slider (see image below).Virtually all the specifications of these two remains a mystery.” Read more here:
