Weeks are flying by and it’s time for another week in review. Monday we learned that a new hack was available from the iPhone Dev Team that adds MMS to first generation iPhones and tethering to 3.1.2 OS for the later iPhone models. We also found out that Microsoft is set to issue a new update for the Xbox 360 that will break unauthorized storage devices. That means that some gamers will be unable to access the saved game data after applying the new update.
Canon’s latest DSLR, the EOS-1D Mark IV, has emerged, and it’s got the Nikon D3S firmly in its sights. The EOS-1D Mark IV packs a 16-megapixel sensor, 45-point autofocus system, 10fps continuous shooting and 1080p Full HD video recording, together with not one but two of the company’s DIGIC 4 imaging processors. Like Nikon, too, Canon are waxing about their ISO range: the Mark IV boasts up to 102,400 ISO, though it’s more usually found playing in the 100 to 12,800 bracket.
Projectors are great for all sorts of things from watching your favorite team in massive screen sizes to playing video games and giving presentations. Canon has unveiled a pair of new LCOS projectors with photo image modes for color management. The two new projectors include the REALis WUX10 Mark II and SX80 Mark II.
Lurking in among the lenses, mattebox, external microphone and video viewfinder is Dan Chung’s Canon EOS 7D, while after the cut you can see the HD video he shot around an hour after picking the new uber-DSLR up from his local store. Filmed in low light at 1600 to 6400 ISO, it’s left Chung – and us – mightily impressed at the EOS 7D’s abilities.

Did’t I just finish writing a week in review? That time again already? Ok, so here we go! Asus’ Eee netbook roadmap leaked this week showing us some of the new machines Asus has up its sleeves and tipping us off on the netbooks already on the market that will be going extinct soon. SanDisk got all official and stuff with a new low-end MP3 player called the Sansa Clip+. The thing gains a microSD card slot to accommodate that big bag of fail known as slotMusic.
Only yesterday we were picking through specifications of the Canon EOS 7D, crossing our fingers that the new DSLR would drop sooner rather than later. Now Canon have made their latest digital camera official, and as expected it’s an 18-megapixel monster complete with 8fps continuous shooting, the company’s latest APS-C CMOS sensor, and Full HD 1080p video capture at 24p, 25p or 30p.
Leaks, and more leaks. Ah, we love our leaks. As long as they’re not in our house. But when it comes to early, not entirely official, news regarding some hot piece of technology, we’re all for them. Especially when it has something to do with the Canon’s upcoming EOS 7D DSLR. The leaks today show some pretty impressive video capture, making us want to get our hands on this thing almost ridiculous at this point.
I am not a Mac user myself, but I know a few people who are and one of the biggest challenges can be getting software that is compatible with the Mac OS. Windows users take new devices for granted since most everything for computers supports Windows.
Here we go again with another week in review for your perusal. A mystery Android-powered MID tipped up this week looking very much like those renderings of the Apple tablet to my eyes. It’s cool to see android showing up on so many devices. Logitech unveiled an update to the coolest racing wheel ever, the G25, called simply enough the G27. The new wheel promises more accurate force feedback effects and keeps with the slick clutch and gated shifter we loved from the G25.
Once upon a time, I had a real job where I had to do horrible things like really work and wear pants to the office. Among the horrible things I had to do was schlep down to the local copy store when the boss wanted some large format document printed.
