Yawn
Lets just rename this joke of a website "www.applerumouroftheday.com"
Wheres the El Reg tombstone icon when you need it.
If you read the interviews by the engineers they downplay the megapixel number, almost grumbling that Marketing attached the number without them knowing, and focus on the sensor size and optics, which are pretty damn hot.
The best camera is the one you have on you at all times. SLR's can be such a fucking chore to use and carry round.

DLNA though, so it talks nicely to your average TV, media box, or PS3/X360.
My 5 yr old N82 has DLNA, and its a great way to display and copy over photos without any fiddling at all.
Really kicks the arse off Apples horrific attempts at picture "sharing".

They need to get the 808 PureView (that 41 megapixel cameraphone) out ASAP, at least it has a unique selling point for those of us who want that sort of thing.
And no WinPho included, bonus!
Nice
And its already on course to be the most highly funded Kickstarter campaign ever, a month before it closes.
Yawn
You can get 64gigs now in a microSD card the size of your little fingernail.
Memory is hardly the problem with wearable computers. Its power.

Re: Same bunch in charge??
There is no sticking plaster, the MCV article was rich, creamy bullshit, as they were forced to state at the bottom soon after it hit. Baffled that this piece references it. Ignore it all.
The bank, RBS, will hire their own administrators. They never agreed to a buyer as the GAME board wanted to stay in their jobs, RBS told them to fuck off.
Their appointed administrator will come in on Monday, fire the lot of them, close all GAME stores, and sell off the GameStation stores to an undisclosed buyer.
Thats the main rumour, anyway.

Correction required
"The retailer is apparently in the process of splitting assets and gearing up to launch a new firm next Monday, funded by the current bank lenders. This would essentially mean the end for Gamestation, but could see roughly 300+ Game stores saved, MCV reports."
Wrong, so wrong. That was just a speculation piece presented as fact, for which the moron at MCV got absolutely blasted for, both by GAME management themselves and LOTS of people on Twitter.
What a pointless article
You guys getting paid by the word now?
Horseshit
Rich, creamy horseshit.
That is all.
Dear me
The phone-fanboy wars on here make the console warriors on NeoGAF look like seasoned debaters.
Is it sexist of me to say.....
....you let a woman test things like this?
Yawn
I'm thinking RegHardware should now be renamed to RegApple.
Nothing about RIM's cartoon "be bold" kids yet?
Awesome marketing! RIM are saved!

Pack it up RegHardware, you've officially lost your mind and need to put down.
Repeating nonsense numbers from a deranged crystal ball gazer as a news story of any kind utterly damages your credibility as a professional website.
Yawn
An analyst has said something about Apple?
Time for another belter of a RegHardware story.
I await the next one with baited breath.

""RIM is currently investigating this claim and has been in contact with one of the security researchers to discuss it. If it is determined that the claim is accurate, RIM will follow its standard response process to develop and release a software update that is designed to minimise adverse impact to our customers or carrier partners."
Yes, why not remove the only reason to buy your unloved piece of crap, and render it useless again.
Nice thinking there, Einstein.

You lost me at the word "rabbi".

Posted in Sony HMZ-T1 3D head mounted display
Another reg hardware classic
Useless review.
AVforums and Neogaf are posting some FAR better reviews, some that have had me on the phone to Sony giving them my credit card number before i knew what i was doing.
Skyrim:
"What I saw was something I didnt know was possible. I've only ever seen 3d very few times in theaters and on my 3ds. Every time, it's either pop at you 3d or layer-ish 3d where you can see what layer each item is. Like for example... Person one is popping outside the screen...but still flat. His whole body occupies the same "layer", while person 2 is again on a different "layer" but deeper. When I loaded Skyrim...Everything had depth. Not just things being in layers, but if I see a person, I can see exactly how his whole body is occupying space in the world. And EVERYTHING occupies space. I can walk to a door and see how the small dents and decor ocupy space. It's pretty amazing and the most realistic non real thing I've seen. In fact... My brain was questioning jumping down a mountain because the sense of depth is just so realistic, even though I knew I was playing a game, just being that high and looking below sent a "danger: don't fucking jump down or you will die" signal to my brain."
Deus Ex:
"The image is bright and colorful but it's the steadiness of the 3D that really grabs hold of you. It really does gives you the impression of looking into an actual 3D environment. I tried out Deus Ex Human Revolution on the PC and was extremely impressed. The visuals in the game are very dark and full of high contrast edges. This type of content typically wreaks havoc with 3D displays producing a lot of crosstalk around the high contrast areas while struggling to deliver enough brightness to render shadow detail in the darkest regions. Using the HMZ, the image quality appears exactly as you'd expect on a dedicated monitor without glasses. Shadow detail is fully accounted for and the colors were rich and vibrant. When you switch to 3D, though, the quality of the image takes a significant leap forward. The resulting image is completely steady and appears fully 3D. The scenes really take on proper depth (rather than appearing as a serious of cardboard cutouts) and feel natural. I never once felt as if my eyes were being tricked. In fact, you can focus on specific objects in the world while the surrounding areas feels naturally out of focus just as you expect in real life. This was particularly evident when using iron sights as it was not really possible to fully examine the detail of the gun while keeping the rest of the scene in focus. It felt startlingly real in that regard. I even tried simulating head tracking by moving my mouse in time with my head movements which was rather immersive. Also, as this was a PC game, I had my image quality cranked up and the framerate at 60 fps. Experiencing all of this with perfect image quality and a high framerate really ups the experience even further. It's simply unreal."
SOLD!

Posted in Apple 'prepping smaller iPad'
Yes
I couldn't have said it better myself.
You idiots at the Reg just look like MUGS reporting these chinese rumours now.
Wheres the Reg tombstone icon when we need it?
Yeah yeah
Same analysts and chinese "leaks" that had all the juicy info on the Iphone 5 and iphone mini eh?
Oh and the recent iPad mini too.
Sorry guys, since that debacle a couple of weeks ago any Apple "insider leaks" are an absolute waste of time, even if they do make an easy story.
Well thats all very well...
..but surely the next thing to investigate is why if they have pulled a marketing success, or huge fail in not even calling it a v.5.
Loads of people, including myself, were waiting for the 5 to upgrade, and are now baffled and wondering if we should still wait.
Are Apple finally moving to a 2 yearly upgrade cycle to match the now-ubiquitous 2 year contracts everyone is locked into? Not a bad idea really, or we'd be up to the iPhone 8 before we know it, which just sounds stupid.
A watch?
Baffled, but saw the pix of the new watch face screens and wrist-strap.
I think i might be wearing a watch again after a decade of using my phone as a timepiece, they look pretty damn good.
Biggest bait/switch ever?
And what about the Iphone Mini eh? EH?! So many stories about "solid info" on those things.
I have to wonder if all those case/board leaks were all now fakes.
And i also wonder if all those case manufacturers have thrown out cases based on this in the hope of getting early adopter cash, and they are now only fit for a landfill.
I think i speak for everyone when i say..
...WTF?!

No mention of the excellent iOS version of the HD remakes?
Monkey Island on the go, and you can flip between the old skool and HD versions with a 2 finger swipe, never gets old.

What a useless comparison
56 various phones VS one single phone. 56 phones combined barely win.
AMAZING!
Seems like yesterday that i was shopping for a new, cheap as possible, HD telly, and was told that anything less than 32" for HD was USELESS as you'd never notice the difference.
Posted in RIM profits nearly sliced in half
Iphone messaging
When iOS 5 comes out in a week or two it will enable free iOS-to-iOS messaging globally.
That'll really push RIM even further to the wall, as there goes the main draw of buying one, for a non-enterprise user.
Why don't they get it??
A tablet is a couch-computer, nothing more.
From your couch you want to do little more than web browse, facebook, twitter and the occasional simple game.
If you cripple a couch computer with an OS requiring updates, virus-scanners, installations, menu's (where did my damn app go?) and all the other shit Windows has hiding behind the tiles, then its worse than an iPad.
So it will fail, like all the rest.

Ridiculous!!
Who the hell wants to watch a film split across 2 screens with a big black bar in the middle, or game like that, or anything else.
Each screen is far smaller than a netbooks, yet the thing is certainly not pocket-friendly, so why bother.
This is going to be an absolute disaster.
More money than sense
I worked with a guy who had one of these monsters years ago.
It was drool-worthy, cost 4 grand, looked amazing.
Yet it whined like a hoover (you never mentioned the noise level) and within 3 years its GPU was so out of date, and RAM maxed out, and nothing upgradable, that the thing was more useful as a doorstop than a laptop.
You can get a top-level desktop that crushes this thing, and a fine laptop, and an ipad, combined, for half the cost of the top model of this thing. I just can't see the point.
Hah
Thats the highest amount of downvotes i've ever seen here, by far.
Guess the comments section of this site hasn't become the raving anti-Apple shithole i thought it had.
Utter madness
If the cheap models aren't selling, and Best Buy want to send over 220,000 unsold units back to HP, then what is the point of even manufacturing this £521 (!) dead duck?
Surely part of some roadmap they couldn't stop, that now has some managers up at HP headquarters shitting themselves.
When the final numbers hit at the end of the year, and compared to targets, its going to be a bloodbath.
Huh?
Look at Amazon?
Are you stupid? Theres a whole article right here with people in the channel talking about how they're not selling, and theres a mountain of the things building up.
But yeah, lets look at Amazon, that invalidates the story.
Software matters
Non-apple tablets can be half the price of the iPad and they still wouldn't have the software ecosystem available.
As console manufacturers realise, its all about the software. Apple came along exactly at the right time, now they're a fucking steamroller you can't hope to go up against.
They know
Oh those partners have been briefed with exactly what to say, its no surprise:
Peter Chou, CEO, HTC:
We welcome the news of today's acquisition, which demonstrates that Google is deeply committed to defending Android, its partners, and the entire ecosystem.
Bert Nordberg, President & CEO, Sony Ericsson:
I welcome Google's commitment to defending Android and its partners.
Jong-Seok Park, President & CEO, LG:
We welcome Google's commitment to defending Android and its partners.
Security fails
Is there a reason WHY all this info is on a internet-facing computer, or was it all on some mugs desktop?
These idiots do highlight one thing, if it absolutely does not need to be constantly Internet-accessible, keep it off a fucking internet connected computer!
Even if they need to shift officers records around, VPN that shit.
Numbskull
Sega aren't a "rival gaming firm", they haven't made a console since the Dreamcast you know.
Sega publish shitloads of games on Sony boxes, not something a "rival" tends to do.
*sigh*
Oh stop trying to prolong that moronic, insane excuse for a "rumour". Its terrible journalism.

I was FAR more disappointed with every single minute of Crysis 2 that i have been with the few hours of DNF i've played so far.
Cannot understand the inflated expectations the press seem to have built up about this game: "13 years in the making? It deserves to die if its not the greatest game ever!"
