Sony’s flagship camera brand, the Cybershot, has a new member to its ever growing family of products. The Cybershot TX9 camera introduces 3D photography to the masses. Surprisingly affordable, the Cybershot TX9 provides all of the amazing panoramic views that previous models have included, now with the ability to be displayed in stunning 3D images.
The 3D is recorded by photographing individual images for the left eye and the right eye. Images will seem to pop right out of the screen at the viewer. Although other 3D cameras exist, the Cybershot TX9 3D camera is one of the most affordable on the market and represents a new world of widely available 3D photography.
Unfortunately, the TX9 also requires a 3D television set to make any use of the 3D function. Playback on the camera itself will lack a suitable 3D mode. 3D television sets are still very expensive and it will take some time before they are more widely adopted. Still, for those who are on the cutting edge of technology this is both an affordable and functional 3D camera.
In addition to the 3D tools, the TX9 Cybershot has all of the quality features consumers expect from a Sony camera. The 12.2 megapixel photographs are clear and detailed and the interface is easy to use even for beginners. The auto-adjustment tools will help even amateurs produce professional quality pictures.
Whether you’re looking for a top of the line 3D camera or just a great new tool for taking regular pictures, the Cybershot TX9 is one of the best tools available for purchase.
TW Steel RF1 Pilot watches stand out among the countless choices of timepieces available with their combination of unique styling and trustworthy performance.
Inspired by a blend of aviation and motorsport elements, and with TW Steel’s tradition of precision watch design, a TW Steel RF1 Pilot watch can have either a black-and-yellow colour scheme that gives it a sleek contrast of colours, or polished chrome or silver finish that evokes a classic and elegant sports watch appeal. Either way, these watches possess striking appearance.
More than just appealing accessories, TW Steel RF1 Pilot watches feature reliable functionality. They are fitted with oversized watch faces and equally large numbers. This makes time checking extremely easy. Their long leather straps ensure a comfortable fit. Moreover, their meter function provides extremely fast and accurate gauging of angles and distances, and the chronometers set time increments down to fractions with utmost precision.
This is in keeping with the traditional design of aviation watches, which necessitated large watch faces for visibility and long straps for fitting over pilots’ flight suits. TW steel has taken these functional distinctions and incorporated them with stylish design to create unique watches.
Such features make these timepieces visually impressive and handy for the technologically perceptive and fashionable set. In fact, they are the timepieces of choice and their maker the official partner for the Renault Formula One auto racing team.
More important, whether the wearers fly planes, drive race cars, or simply walk the streets in style, TW Steel RF1 Pilot watches deliver the ultimate in design and functionality.
While the new iPhone got all the press, it wasn’t the only announcement at Macworld. A new Mac Mini was also released, switching the tiny computer over to a completely aluminum shell to match the company’s other offerings. The new design is larger, covering about 20cm square with a height of 3.6cm. This is about 4cm wider and longer than the previous Mini and 1.6cm taller. However, the power supply has been integrated into the case so the overall size of the system is smaller than the previous design.
Inside, the hardware is similar to the 13″ MacBook. Graphics have been upgraded to NVIDIA’s GeForce 320M which runs about 80% faster than the previous 9400M. 802.11n is now standard
Video comes from a Mini Display port or an HDMI port, a first for Apple. This allows the Mini to connect directly to an HDTV.
All of the plugs are mounted on the rear including the SD card slot, which makes using it a bit awkward. Data and peripheral connections are handled by four USB ports and a single Firewire port. DDR3 RAM has been added, and a panel has been added to make it much easier for owners to install third-party RAM.
The Mini comes in two versions: For £649 you get a desktop-oriented computer with a 2.4Ghz Core Duo processor, 320GB hard drive, and 2GB of RAM. A new server-oriented Mini uses a 2.66Ghz Core Duo processor and manages to cram two 500GB hard drives in the tiny case. It comes with OSX Snow Leopard Server and 4GB of memory for £929.

With each new generation, the Apple iPhone becomes a more powerful, more spectacular device. The iPhone 4 is no exception. It has several new, much-requested features, along with the same fantastic interface of previous iPhone generations.
One of the most spectacular new features of the iPhone 4 is its brilliant screen, which has a much better resolution than earlier models. The new screen must be seen to be appreciated. Text looks much clearer, and pictures have astounding quality. The updated camera, which now hosts a flash and a simple reverse-view for taking pictures of oneself, makes it easy to get great shots to view on the new screen. A digital zoom also makes the iPhone 4′s camera much more formidable.
The iPhone 4 seems much faster than previous incarnations, although the jump in speed from the 3GS to the 4 isn’t as significant as the jump from the 3G to the 3GS. That’s not a complaint–it’s one of the fastest and most powerful smart phones on the market, and the new speed of the iPhone 4 puts it easily ahead of its competition.
The sleek new design of the iPhone 4 means that the phone is less likely to slip out of your hands, and it’s as aesthetically pleasing as it is practical. Overall, if you’ve waited to get an iPhone, the iPhone 4 makes it easy to get on board with the flagship Apple device. It’s fast, feature-packed, and superior to every other model of Apple iPhone ever released.
