The iPhone 4 is still at the top of the list, but before the 4S camera around the iPhone 3G was the second most popular camera. Shortly after the launch of the iPhone 4S, the 3G dropped quickly and the iPhone 4S camera took the second most popular spot.

It’s interesting that out of the top five cameras on the service, four of them are the iPhone. The only non-iPhone on the list is the HTC Evo 4G in last place. The iPhone 3GS is the fourth place device, the iPhone 3G is third, with the 4S in second and the iPhone 4 in first. The 4S is a long way from the iPhone 4 in popularity though.

The Android Flickr app features a built-in camera interface that has adjustable settings for auto-focus and flash. Photos taken can be enhanced by using any of the ten filters and effects available. The images can then be uploaded to a Flickr account, shared via Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, or email. The app is free and available through the Android Market.

The Photo Sessions feature for Flickr’s iPhone and iPad app, adds the ability to flip through a gallery of photos with a friend like you’re sitting next to each other even if you’re actually across the globe. For details on the new feature, you can watch the video below.

This is the first time (in recent history at least) that a smartphone has taken the top spot from the Cannons and Nikons of the world, a wakeup call for the point and shoot / DSLR / every camera-only device in the world to be sure. When you take a look at the Popular Point & Shoot Cameras chart you’ll notice that not only are they ALL Canons, they’re all evening out, this chart (and the others) showing the % of members on the site. This means that the cameras being used by members of the photo-centric site are fragmenting, while what these other charts are showing us is that Apple and their tight relegation of models of devices, (aka one smartphone to rule them all: iPhone,) is more than a powerful message to the rest of the non-smartphone handheld device world.

Finally, if you take a look at the Popular Cameraphones category, you’ll see that the iPhone 3G has been dominating for as long as this graph represents, while the iPhone 3GS follows a very similar path to the Android device HTC Evo 4G and the iPod touch creeps up the bottom. Then there’s the iPhone 4 which near the beginning of the graph directly counter-acts the path of the iPhone 3G and takes over by a long-shot by the time the present rolls around.

It’s important to note the “about these graphs” section on this page which includes word that the graphs can only be read as accurate to the point at which you note that Flickr can automatically detect the camera used to take the photos or videos uploaded to the site, this being only about 2/3rds of the time, or so they say. This situation gives an unfair advantage to all non-cameraphone devices as it’s “not usually possible” to detect the make of cameraphones with the method Flickr uses, so you might want to think about such a thing like this: you need a combination of being able to be read by Flickr as a device model name and actually being popular to overtake these graphs, and Apple‘s got that combo in the bag!

That’s the question the folks at ElectricPig were asking when they dug into Flickr’s current daily average user stats. It turns out that of the 40 million Flickr users, only 22 of them use their iPad 2 cameras. That makes the iPad 2 about 200 times less popular than the iPhone 4, which is being used by 4,391 Flickr members.

However, of the 22 iPad 2 camera users, they’ve managed to upload 12,570 images altogether, which seems pretty impressive. The size of the device does make it less wieldy, but the disappointing camera quality may be another contributing factor to its lack of usage. If you tote around an iPad 2, how are you liking the camera?

Inside 2011 if these maps and documents are true, we’ll be seeing BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service) 4.0 around March or April and BIS 4.1 starting in August or September. Next, take a peek at how BlackBerry fans can look forward to Facebook 2.0 beta 1 and beta 2 coming as soon as February, and Twitter 1.1 between March and June, and an End of Life (EOL) for Viigo in August and Flickr in February — note, this has already happened. App World for BlackBerry PlayBook will be released in March, BlackBerry Protect 1.1 and 1.2 will be updated in March and May, Identity Service v1.2 in March, and Social Feeds 2.0 for OS 6.1 in late April.

After that you’ll see integration of BlackBerry OS 7.0 starting near the end of November 2011. At the moment we have basically no idea whether 7.0 will be an update of 6.1 or if it’ll only be rolled out on brand new devices near the end of the year with updates to older devices coming throughout 2012. The word “Integration” is included in the update block – does this point toward the OS still being in a developmental state at that block’s time, or does Integration mean working the OS into already released devices?

Take a look in the gallery below for a slightly larger-sized version of the map as well as a few sheets on other similar topics.

Google’s Social Search was launched back in 2009, but the social search results were placed way down at the bottom of the page and mainly showed results that people created and linked through their Google profiles. But now they are fully incorporating results from social sites such as Twitter, Flickr, and YouTube.

And more interesting is that if someone you’re connected to has publicly shared a link, then that link may show up higher in your results and an annotation of that person will show up right below the result. The company says that, “With these changes, we want to help you find the most relevant information possible, personalized to your interests and the people you care about.”

Google’s Social Search only works when you are logged into your Google Account. And this new update will start rolling out today in English only. You should start seeing the results within this coming week.

The news comes at a strange time considering that RIM has been improving the cameras on their BlackBerry smartphones, which should see increased photo use from their customer base who would appreciate easy uploading to a popular photo sharing service such as Flickr.

For those needing to continue uploading photos to Flickr from their BlackBerry phones after March 1st, you will have to visit Flickr’s mobile site at m.flickr.com from your BlackBerry’s browser.

With four ethernet ports the Fonera 2.0n can do the usual wired networking of local PCs, but there’s also a USB 2.0 port for hooking up a printer, hard-drive or webcam (or a USB hub, from which multiple USB devices can be shared across the network).  You can set the Fonera 2.0n to automatically upload photos from a USB drive to Facebook, Flickr or Picasa, as well as set it to download BitTorrent files, MegaUpload files and RapidShare files; there’s also a YouTube uploader.  All of these can be used when your PC or Mac is turned off, via the web-based UI.

Of course, the main point of choosing FON over other routers is that it means other FON users can access your connection, and you theirs, meaning less paying for WiFI hotspots when travelling.  You can even make a little money, as FON members without their own shared hotspots are charged for connecting.  The FON Fonera 2.0n is available in Europe and the US now, priced at €79 and $99 respectively.

Press Release:

FON Releases New Innovative Web Applications WiFi Router

World’s largest WiFi community releases groundbreaking 802.11n WiFi router
that interacts directly with Web 2.0 services

MADRID and SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 23 /PRNewswire/ — FON today released
its most innovative WiFi router yet, the Fonera 2.0n. Furthermore, it
announced that its international WiFi network, the world’s largest,
surpassed 700,000 hotspots. Besides several new features, Fonera 2.0n
allows users to up and download files to their favorite Web 2.0 services
with their computer turned off. Fonera 2.0n is now available in the EU for
just euro 79 and in the US for just $99.

Fonera 2.0n combines all of FON’s revolutionary WiFi sharing and money
making features with 802.11n wireless technology, delivering faster
connection speeds and more WiFi reach. Most importantly, it has a growing
host of features and applications that make it easy for users to manage Web
2.0 services such as YouTube, Facebook, Picasa, Flickr and RapidShare–even
while users’ laptops are off. Fonera 2.0n can also automatically post
status messages to Twitter, alerting users to when an upload or download
has completed or to when another user has connected to their WiFi signal.

“As demand for WiFi and use of the social web continues to grow, FON
keeps creating WiFi products that give people what they really want,” said
Martin Varsavsky, FON’s CEO. “The Fonera 2.0n is not only a router that
lets you connect to the world’s largest WiFi community for free. It’s a
real social gadget that frees up you and your computer from tedious waiting
for uploads and downloads and even ‘talks’ to you via Twitter status
updates.”

A built-in USB port and Fonera 2.0n management software allow users to
connect and manage external hard drives and other USB devices. The Fonera
2.0n can be managed by accessing the Fonera web-interface from laptops,
computers and different kinds of WiFi devices including Apple iPhones or
Google Android based phones.

While logged in to the Fonera web-interface, users can instruct their
Fonera 2.0n to automatically upload videos or photos stored on a camera or
hard drive to YouTube, Flickr, Picasa and Facebook, or to download*
torrents and files directly to a USB hard drive. Then, because the Fonera
2.0n can also perform tasks independent of a computer, users are free to
log out and shut down their laptops completely – the Fonera 2.0n will
continue uploading and downloading any remaining files.

Additional features include the ability to backup files to a hard
drive, access a printer or webcam from anywhere, stream music via WiFi, and
convert a 3G or HSDPA dongle to WiFi. Users are also free to create
applications of their own on the Fonera 2.0n’s Open Source platform.

Fonera 2.0n can also help users save money on energy and reduce their
CO2 output. A Fonera 2.0n router consumes less than four watts while
downloading, instead of a PC that averages 100 watts, so users can reduce
their CO2 emissions by 273Kg a year–equivalent to driving an SUV more than
1,500km per year. **

“The deep integration of online file sharing, social networks, and
other Web 2.0 content into our already busy daily lives translates into
more hours spent at the computer, greater energy use and more greenhouse
emissions,” said Varsavsky. “By enabling users to handle basic computing
tasks from the router instead of the PC, we’re taking a small step towards
reducing power consumption without limiting functionality.”

Fonera 2.0n also maintains all the features of previous FON WiFi
routers. Once connected, it creates two separate WiFi signals, one private
and one public, that allow for a secure, wireless internet connection at
home and free access at FON Spots worldwide. Fonera owners can also choose
to make money*** by selling FON WiFi access passes or letting guests
securely roam at their FON Spot.

We’ve got streamlined services for Flickr and Picasa, and the Windows Live Messenger Service that offers chatting via text and voice. While we would have liked to have seen a more in depth look in the video, all we really get is a good glimpse of what the device will look like physically, and what we presume will be the standard homescreen, with a plethora of application widgets right there, ready to touch. We couldn’t help but chuckle, when the Facebook application was brought up, there was no real direct indication on how to go back to the home screen. This leads to a quick tour of the hardware, which encases the 7-inch screen in aluminum. However, they seemed to allude to the fact that the model they are holding is a special model, and perhaps not meant for mass production.

We’ll let the video take the rest. And by all means, tell us what you think. Do you think the price-range heard on the video, anywhere from $239 to $299 is a right price point for this thing? Or are you looking more for a smaller device?

The sets have built-in Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound, as well as an ethernet port in the Diamond Unisen models, LT-46249 and LT-52249, which allow for direct connections to the internet. There’s also available, the optional VUDU wireless accessory bridge, which allows for customers to hook their TVs up via wireless network, and download to their hearts content.

“We are always looking to elevate the large screen experience for consumers, and the Mitsubishi VUDU-integrated TVs will combine unprecedented HD program choice with unparalleled picture performance,” said Frank DeMartin, vice president of marketing, Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America. “Owners of Diamond Unisen Immersive Sound TVs will now have convenient access to high quality entertainment content.”

There are over 2,200 HD titles and 16,000 titles available in the movie library currently. Plus, later this month, the VUDU series on Diamond Unisen Immersive Sound TVs will offer popular internet services like YouTube, Flickr, Picasa, and Pandora. There will also be an “OnDemand” TV area, with over 80 channels to choose from for your viewing pleasure. For a limited time, owners of Mitsubishi’s VUDU integrated Diamond Unisen TVs will receive two months worth of free movie rentals or purchases (up to $50.00)*, including SD, HD, and HDX movies, allowing them to experience the extraordinary 1080p image quality and immersive Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound of the VUDU Service running on Mitsubishi Diamond Unisen TVs.

The Diamond Unisen Features combine ultra compact design, immersive sound technology and advanced video performance to deliver a complete sensory experience without the hassle of complex setup. Each model features an UltraThin Frame™ design delivering a frame measuring less than one inch, fully integrated 18-speaker Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound system featuring Dual Driver Extended Range Sound, and Variable Smooth 240 Film Motion for viewing of fast and slow moving programs. Diamond Unisen TVs feature wide color gamut backlight technology to reproduce approximately 25 percent more color than most LCD-TVs and both 249 Series models are EnergyStar™ 3.0 qualified.

MDEA has commenced shipping Diamond Unisen models to authorized retailers in the United States. MSRP for the Diamond Unisen products will be $2,599 for the 46” model, LT-46249 and $3,099 for the 52” model, LT-52249.

The JounE Touch is being treated as a Mobile Internet Device (MID) on the high-end side of the spectrum, with a heavy emphasis on video playback. The Touch can actually play reduced-quality High-Definition videos right on the screen, which is an 800×480 display, or full-resolution HD through the HDMI output. There’s WiFi on the device (obviously), and it looks like web browsing is actually put in second place, after watching streaming videos from YouTube or the movie service Acetrax.

There’s also streamlined access to Picasa and Flickr to view pictures on the device, and a Windows Live Messenger application that allows users to chat via text or voice. An RSS reader and a Facebook application are also preloaded on the JounE right out of the box. The JournE is based on the Windows CE Operating System (OS), and has 1GB of internal storage for listening to music. The MID also includes an SDHC slot, for expanding the memory that you’ll definitely need. Battery life is pretty minimal: 7 hours for music playback, and only 2 hours if you’re constantly browsing the internet. Toshiba is planning to launch the JournE in the Fall, but there isn’t any word on pricing as of yet.

We’re one to think that the old adage, “pictures are worth 1,000 words” is perfectly usable in most cases, and as these images show, it fits perfectly. There isn’t any new news regarding the device itself, at least not yet, and so these pictures taken by the Nokia N900 are all we have until Nokia gets even more official than they already have, in the next few days. These images were found on Flickr and Ovi, based on the source code of the picture, revealed after the TwitPic size comparison image got released.

And we’ll be there, live-blogging the event, to make sure that you get all the news you need from our favorite Espoo-based company. Are you excited for the N900? Are you wanting to get your hands on it? Do these pictures get you even more excited for it, or do you think it could be better?

Company executives at Chumby are hoping to ascertain a wider platform as they look to put the Chumby software on other gadgets, and therefore create a “powered by Chumby” brand. Which, for all intents and purposes, is probably better than banking on the $200 Chumby launched back in February of 2008, which is also available in Japan, the UK, and Australia. It’s a good strategy to focus on expanding the brand, and not simply pushing the hardware. By doing this, Chumby can see more market appeal, as it may appear on more familiar brands, which people feel “safer” buying.

It looks like Chumby is in talks with Samsung, Sony, Broadcom, and Marvell to be included in digital picture frames, TVs and Blu-Ray players. And if you aren’t excited enough yet, Chumby-powered products are set to appear some time later this year, probably by the holiday season, and in a digital frame. Let’s hope that Chumby can find a way to stream photos from Flickr, as well as include some other features like internet radio and weather all in one package. That would be a photo frame worth staring at for hours.

We’ve seen Facebook, Flickr, and Twitter integration from previous leaks; rumors that Blu-Ray will be making an appearance; and even Last.fm comes along for the ride. But, just as these images show, nothing is set in stone quite yet. From what we can see from the Facebook screenshot, people will be able to create shared playlists on iTunes 9, and then share it through their Facebook page via the user’s wall, which will provide an iTunes link. But the biggest mention, as far as screened images go, is the fact that iTunes 9 will apparently be supporting third-party devices, which opens a lot of doors for a lot of people. iTunes may be one of the largest digital providers of music, but not [em]everyone[/em] enjoys some iPod/iPhone goodness.

Apple’s keynote is set for September 9, and there we will likely be seeing a lot of news regarding iTunes 9, as well as some other juicy tidbits. It’s going to be another big end-of-the-year for music fans, especially if you enjoy Apple and their products, both on the software end, as well as the hardware. Keep your eyes on SlashGear in the coming days for any more information.

I guess it makes a lot of sense that with the popularity of the iPhone it would be a popular camera for users of mobile photo services like Flickr, despite the serious drawbacks to taking photos with a smartphone. Flickr has unveiled the most popular cameras in the Flickr community and you might be surprised to find the iPhone sitting at a very close second place overall.

The iPhone is in a near tie for first place overall with the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi for the top camera on the community. Bringing up a distant third place is the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi, fourth place overall goes to the Nikon D80, and the fifth spot is another Canon, the EOS 40D. The iPhone crushes the smartphone competition with the Nokia N95 being the next most popular smartphone used for Flickr.

NetCast does not require a computer; instead, the HDTV itself has an ethernet port and connects directly to a broadband connection (with or without a router).  Select functionality, however, is set up through a web interface – such as Netflix queueing, or organizing Flickr or Picasa slideshows – for later viewing on the sets. 

In addition, NetCast is DLNA compatible and supports streaming of JPEG images and MP3 audio files from networked computers.  Samsung recently announced a similar partnership with Yahoo!, bring the company’s Widget Engine onto models in Samsung’s HDTV range. 

Press Release:

LG ELECTRONICS LAUNCHES BROADBAND HDTVs WITH ‘NETCAST™ ENTERTAINMENT ACCESS’

New Content Providers Yahoo!®, Netflix, YouTube Give Consumers Freedom to Access Streaming Movies, News, Weather, Photos and More Directly to the TV

Yahoo! Widget Engine: Content When You Want It, Where You Want It
The Yahoo! Widget Engine enables the discovery and enjoyment of a new class of interactive applications called TV Widgets. TV Widgets enable viewers to interact with popular Internet services and online media through applications specifically tailored to the needs of the television watcher such as up-to-the minute Yahoo! News, Weather and Finance.

Through Flickr®, Yahoo!’s online photo management and sharing application, consumers can enjoy their latest family and friend photos on the big screen. Accessible through a Yahoo! TV Widget, consumers can access this unique photo sharing site to run slideshows and view individual photos.

YouTube: Access to Millions of User-Generated Videos

What’s interesting, is that users were able to actually upload videos from their cell phones to Flickr, but couldn’t play them back. Prior to today, only a few iPhone users had access to this feature, but now all iPhone users and iPod Touch users can watch them. Other handset support is on the way, according to Flickr.

In fact, any browser that operates off of Webkit will soon have the mobile Flickr video-watching feature. Along with this upgrade, users may also notice an improved interface and the mobile app now allows users the ability to favorite images and add contacts.
