Think the iPhone could make better pictures? It could soon -- if the web rumors are true.
Electronista and others are reporting that the next iPhone could be getting a 5-megapixel camera. The current model has 3.2 megapixels. Who could get by on that?
Naturally, Apple isn't confirming anything. However, OmniVision, who currently supplies the iPhone's camera goods, supposedly has orders.
If everything is correct, a new, better iPhone could be making you look out of date by the end of 2010.
Next time you are giving the finger so liberally on the highway, smile -- you might be on candid camera.
Garmin just announced that two of its new GPS units will come equipped with camera features. The Oregon 550 and Oregon 550t each boast a waterproof 3.2-megapixel camera with 4x digital zoom, as well as a 3-inch touchscreen, 850MB of internal storage, a 3-axis compass, and two precharged AA NiMH batteries.
The idea behind the camera is so that you can tag photos with locations, as if you need something else to fumble with while you're driving. If you're the multitasking type, the 550 will run $500. The 550t comes with preloaded topography maps for $600. -- Rachel Cericola
We know that super skinny TVs are the "in" thing. Now that peer pressure has trickled down to their brothers in the photo frame business.
Pandigital just announced the PanTouch Clear digital photo frame. It's a 10.4-inch frame that measures a mere 1/3-inch thick (or thin). The company says it's the thinnest one on the market, and we really have no reason to doubt that.
The thin design makes it easy to hang on the wall, or fit on a shelf crammed with crappy knickknacks. Other features include a "floating," fingerprint-resistant glass design, a 1024 x 768 resolution, Wi-Fi compatibility, and 2GB of storage. You can also sync it with your Bluetooth device, if you add in a USB dongle.
Expect this latest PanTouch Clear product to ship in May for $230.
