The Nikon D90 will be released sometime in the very near future, perhaps at Photokina or even before. It will have a 12mp sensor, 4.5 frames per second, a larger LCD, live view and potentially (and most controversial), it is rumored to have video recording support. Some are predicting tomorrow, June 16th, will be the day that the Nikon D90 drops. Intended as a competitor for Canon’s 40D, it will probably be what the D80 was to the D200 - a skimmed down version with most of the same features, in a slightly smaller body. It will sport a 12mp DX format sensor and a 3″ LCD screen, as well as some sort of video recording software.
The retail price is $1299 with the 18-105mm VR kit lens.
The 3g iPhone will be available July 11th for $199 (8GB) and $299 (16GB)
It looks like Apple’s surprisingly good cover up job on the 3G iPhone is finally done for. CrunchGear has their hands on some very realistic shots demonstrating, among other things, video chatting, a Product (Red) model, Exchange, iChat (for Windows) and other little tidbits. It also includes definitive, once and for all proof that the iPhone 3g does include… 3g.
Updated with new, real photos.
Nobody outside of Apple’s core group of bigwigs and monocle-wearing Monopoly men knows exactly when the 3G iPhone will be released, but Goldman Sachs analyst David Bailey has already been 1 for 1 with his surprisingly accurate prediction that the current generation iPhone will receive a simple size bump in Feburary. The relevance here is that with a strong track record, there may be significant weight to his claim that a new iPhone in the second half of 2008 “[will] have a similar form factor as the current version although it could have a different look and will probably include 3G capability.” That sounds fairly vauge, but he was the first to accuratly predict the update and comes from a reputable ilk, so perhaps there is some basing to his statement.
The June date is simply placed due to its proximity to Apple’s WWDC convention, where they unveiled the shipping date for the original iPhone. Many other sources are claiming a June date, so it is shaping up to be both a fairly reasonable estimate and a very likely outcome.
To summarize, you have about two months to sell your old iPhone on eBay before the 3G version comes rumbling along to kill your resale value.
The skinny is this - the HP 2133 Mini-Note PC comes in four flavors, running between $549 and $849.
Sporting an 8.9″ WXGA LCD, the UMPC 2133 is based on a Via Chrome 9 platform with VIA C7-M processors. Except for the $749 version, all the processors run at 1.2ghz. The full spec sheet is attached below.
The UMPC 2133 is set to land in stores around April 7th, so if these have caught your eye and the heavy weight is not enough to turn you off, it won’t belong before you can pick one of these little laptops up.
Editor’s Note - the weight and dimensions listed appear to be shipping weights and box sizes, not for the physical unit.
