A new finding should put to rest any doubts about whether or not Apple is planning to include video recording in future iPhones. The screenshot above, which was discovered in the latest iPhone 3.0 beta by macrumors, shows the interface Apple will provide for video recording.
The interface shows the normal iPhone camera interface but with a switch on the bottom right which toggles between still camera photography and video recording. The video recording is not presently functional in iPhone 3.0 beta, and the interface is not accessible by default. Only when configuration files were modified telling the firmware that a Video Camera was present will this interface appear. Other interesting capabilities found in the configuration files include "auto-focus camera", "magnetometer" (digital compass), and "Voice Control".
Now the big question is will all this be backward compatible with the current iPhone 3G and original iPhone or will these new features be for a new model. My guess is a new model as to be honest to take advantage of any decent video quality a new camera is a must but we shall see.
iPhone users with a Sky+ box sitting at home need never miss a show now, thanks to the new Sky+ Remote Record app, which has just debuted at the Apple iTunes App Store. This smart piece of software lets you set recordings on your Sky+ box from anywhere in the world.
Once you’ve registered your details with Sky.com, you can open up the Sky+ Remote Record app on your iPhone and can browse an entire 7-day electronic programme guide (EPG). Pick the shows and movies you want to record and the app remotely notifies your Sky+ or Sky+HD box – very handy if you’re on holiday or have just forgotten to set the recording before you step out of the door in the morning.
We’ve looked at several Lumix models in the past and have always been pretty impressed with their performance and value for money.
This time we are looking at the FX500 which is a higher-end Lumix model than the ones we’ve looked at before.
The Panasonic Lumix FX500
The FX500 has some really cool features such as a huge 3" LCD screen to preview/review your images but it’s also a touchscreen that makes menu navigation really very simple. The FX500 also features a 10 megapixel sensor and a decent 25mm wide angle lens with 5x optical zoom while remaining in a fairly compact package.
You’ll also find face and smile detection settings and steady-shot to help improve your images. In fact the list of features goes on and on so we’ll cover more of them when it comes to the review.
For now have a look at the unboxing video to see a little more of the Panasonic Lumix FX500:

One of the latest pieces of info to appear on these 2 handsets is that they are both being lined up for a July release on T-Mobile.
HTC Snap
From what we can gather it seems that the HTC Touch Pro 2 will be renamed Wing II and be released on July 22nd whilst the Snap will remain Snap and be released on July 1st.
HTC Touch Pro 2
Obviously this is all subject to change but we thought it was interesting enough to share with the masses.
Spotted by WMExperts, this video gives us a very detailed look at the HTC Touch Pro2 which is scheduled to be released in June this year. As it is still a few months away, we assume that this is not a final ROM version but it looks pretty good so far. The video shows us around the hardware then a look at the latest incarnation of TouchFlo 3D which also works in portrait mode. Take a look after the break, it’s worth nine minutes of your time.
Huawei has confirmed it will be the third company to bring an Android phone to the UK in summer this year.
A spokesperson said: "I can confirm that Huawei will be releasing the third Google phone on T-Mobile this year," which seems pretty conclusive.
The handset is apparently being dubbed the G3, although it’s unlikely there will be any synergy in the naming stakes between the Huawei effort and HTC’s G1 phone, given the companies are Asian rivals.
The new handset will be a low cost affair, sticking in a 5MP camera a 3.5mm headphone jack and the normal Wi-Fi and HSDPA connectivity. It will also be coming exclusively on T-Mobile.
Clove have just let us know that they have received the first stock of the Acer DX900. The Acer DX900 is one of the world’s first dual-SIM and dual standby Windows Mobile handsets to support HSDPA and EDGE. The DX900 is a simple solution to an increasingly in-demand requirement for consumers who need access to two mobile communications services, but don’t want to carry around two devices at the same time.
