Nexus 7 Tablet Spotted in In-Car Connected Toyota System

Connected cars are hot and everybody would like to have a taste of goodness. But there’s one problem, the technology sustaining everything onboard will become obsolete long before you are ready to purchase another car. This isn't likely to happen if you have an upgradable system, which is exactly what ASUS and Toyota are trying to pull off with their Toyota Intelligent System or TIS (as seen at EPrice). The system actually uses a Nexus 7 tablet, which is equipped with everything one might need to smoothly navigate through Taiwan. The slate has an on-board satellite navigation system that connects through 4G. Car owners can request information through voice commands, like asking for traffic reports, emergency services, checking their...

iOS 8 Shows Proof of Another Larger iPhone 6 Resolution

As expected, Apple is always testing new resolutions for their devices. The final, native one is set by iOS and it cannot be changed. Some new files that are part of iOS 8 Beta show the evidence: the next iPhone may have a new resolution.

The cited source explains how the files can be found in the iOS 8's Springboard application. The Springboard is the app responsible for showing the home screens.

Nikon D750 Leaks Out in First Image

In recent days, there has been a lot of talk about Nikon’s upcoming DSLR camera. Yesterday we even managed to find out what its name is going to be – the D750. Another day, another tiny development in the unfolding D750 story. The first real life picture of what seems to be Nikon D750 (well, its back) has apparently emerged on the web (as seen at the Mirrorless Rumors). Of course, the image could be a big, fat fake but until I’m told otherwise, I’m going to treat it like it’s the real deal. Notice the only visible difference compared to the D610 is the tilting screen. I wonder what the front would reveal, but this curiosity is probably reserved for tomorrow. The preliminary specs for the camera have been revealed indicating that the...

Sony KW1 Lady-Friendly Selfie Camera Will Have a Curved Sensor

A few hours ago I brought you the story of the upcoming oddly shaped Sony selfie camera which looks like a perfume bottle. As we have advanced throughout the day, a few extra details have been revealed. For starters, remember that yesterday word surfaced about an unidentified Sony KW1 compact camera which was said to be arriving soon. Well, I can now tell you that these two cameras are one and the same. So I’m going to be calling the perfume bottle KW1 from now on. The shape of the camera is not the only interesting aspect about the selfie-centric device. It appears the snapper will come equipped with a 1/ 2.3-inch curved sensor (it will be the first ever) of the Exmor RS variety, as reported by Sony Alpha Rumors. Other specifications...
