PSP camera-attachment coming soon
Damian Koh | Oct 10, 2006
We have cameras in just about everything with a battery, from mobile phones to notebooks to even cars and buses. And you think Sony is going to let up on this one for its PSP? Obviously not.
Come November 2, the camera attachment for your precious PlayStation Portable will be available for a cool S$67, which is about the price of a brand new game. While the PSPJ-15003 is a 1.3-megapixel camera, it is capable of recording only VGA-sized (640 x 480 pixels) stills. Weird, simply weird. Alternatively, you can record 640 x 272-pixel videos at 30fps up to 15 seconds.
No word on when it's coming to Singapore or any other countries outside Japan, but if you can't wait, you can purchase the camera online.
Leaked screenshots of upcoming Windows Mobile OS
Reuben Lee | Oct 10, 2006
Microsoft's next-generation Windows Mobile OS (code-named Crossbow) is once again in the spotlight as what appears to be screenshots of the new operating system were posted on the Web, courtesy of MSMobile.com. From the image of the Today home screen, it seems that Crossbow will adopt a glossier look-and-feel with icons that appear similar to those on Vista.
The new Windows Mobile OS will also come with "strong links to Office 2007 and Exchange 12 for push emails" as well as a built-in instant messenger (most probably Windows Live Messenger). Handhelds with the new OS are expected to be commercially available in the first half of 2007, while Crossbow's successor, Photon, is due to hit the market one year later in 2008.
