Now, I can’t attest to the legitimacy of this spec list leaked by PhotoRumors, but let’s take a gander at what the GX-30 is purportedly equipped with. Assuming you understand the relationship that Samsung has with Pentax then one would assume that the GX-30 is simply a clone of the recently announced K-7. But is the GX-30 just that? A clone? → Read More
The Mole, as Ars affectionately refers to its gaming industry insider, has once again struck with a ‘rumor’ detailing Microsoft and Sony’s plans for their respective consoles this year.

Hmmm. Are these the specs for the Canon 1D Mark IV? They all look right expect for the megapixel count. The rumor mentions a video mode, ISO up to 26,500, and a quicker overall speed. But the rumor states that the camera will be around 16MPs. That doesn’t make sense at all. The 1Ds Mark III and 5D Mark II both shoot at 21.1MP. Why would the the in between model have something different? → Read More
Does Sony dream of Android? The Japanese web is currently filling up with rumors about Sony preparing not one but two Android-based mobile devices. Both the Android-powered Walkman and a personal satellite navigation device are rumored to launch next year.
I just checked all Japanese news sources I could find reporting on the topic and the short answer is that the rumor seems to be true. → Read More
Got a hankering for some 20fps DSLR video but don’t have the scrilla to pick up a T1i? Well, you may be in luck, my comrade-in-poverty. Rumors are swirling that a stripped-down version of Canon’s consumer DSLR will find itself announced as early as June 9th.
The T1/2000D (why didn’t Canon standardize its names with this latest change?) will probably have about the same relationship to the T1i/500D as the XS/1000D has to the XSi/450D. Got that? Here it is in SAT form:
T1/200D:T1i/500D::XS/1000D:XSi/450D → Read More
Where’s my saltshaker?
Photo Rumors has been tipped off by a reliable source that Samsung plans to announce a new DSLR next month, the GX-30. Keeping in mind the relationship that Samsung has with Pentax, I’d assume it’s just a clone of the newly announced K-7 since the GX-20 was clone of the K20D with a few cosmetic differences. → Read More

If we are to believe an iLounge tipster, this is what the next iPod nano will look like. The screen ratio will change from 1.33:1 to 1.5:1. the click wheel will be shifted down and shrunk a bit.

The same tipster states that this new nano will be released with the iPod touch which should be sometime between July and September. → Read More

I’m just putting it out there, kids. Look at the zoomed in view of the E3 invite I just got from SplitFish. They don’t make anything that involves two controllers being flailed around. Unless, of course, you’re some sort of magician that can create hard surfaces for the FragFX mouse while you monkey around.
Update: See, kids, this is what happens when it’s a slow news day and your mind begins to wander. Those vivacious ladies in the SplitFish E3 invite are two of the Pussycat Dolls and they’re actually horsing around with v1 FragFX controllers. Kind of hard to tell, I know. That’s why SplitFish sent over images from the shoot. Check em out after the jump. → Read More

Most of the WSJ article is dribble and a rehash of things we already know, but sources “familiar with the matter” are saying that Jobs is still leading the company from home. And that he has been instrumental in new product development and strategy like OS 3.0 for the iPhone. → Read More

It’s all very anonymous and tipsterish, but it appears that some promotional material for new Zune hardware called the ZuneHD has leaked onto the blagosphere.
