Windows Mobile Phones with Android 2.1

It’s a beta version, which means there are some bugs, including two notable ones: the Bluetooth features are totally unpredictable, and the camera doesn’t work at all. For some other bugs, the XDA forum is talking about and fixing a lot of the problems people are having with their changes.

It’s probably not the optimal solution for improving your cell phone fortunes, but if you’re stuck with your phone for a while and can’t wait to get to Android, it’s a great solution.

Installing the ROM requires "rooting" your phone, which takes some know-how, but for those not faint of heart or worried about breaking their phone, or maybe those just that tired of Windows Mobile, it’s a great solution. There are detailed instructions, and a lot of helpful people, available on the XDA site.

Sony Cybershot DSC-TX5

At just 3.75×2.25×0.72 inches and 4.5 ounces, the TX5 is certainly a lot svelter than most waterproof cameras. In fact, it looks pretty similar to the rest of Sony’s TX line of ultracompact cameras, such as the new DSC-TX7 announced at CES and its popular predecessor, the DSC-TX1. The difference, though, is that the TX5 is waterproof to 10 feet, freezeproof down to 14 degrees Fahrenheit, dustproof, and shockproof up to a 5-foot drop. Like the TX7, it’s a 10.2-megapixel shooter with a wide angle (25-100mm equivalent) 4x optical zoom lens. Although its 3-inch, 230,000-dot touchscreen doesn’t match the TX7’s gorgeous 3.5-inch, 921,000-dot touchscreen, it’s still nice and big for such a small camera. The TX5 also delivers 720p HD video recording (vs. the TX7’s 1080i AVCHD movie mode) and an HDMI output, which is a nice touch. The camera will be available in silver, black, pink, green, and red, and will ship in April for $350.

Canon EOS T2i Officially Launched

The EOS 550D should be the one camera that will redefine boundaries of Canon's consumer DSLR range, by packing technologies that were once only available for the semi-professional DSLRs, into its compact, lightweight body that is more favored by consumers, as most people won't even think about carrying a metal beast while taking a walk in the park with their significant other.

Packing an 18 Megapixel CMOS sensor, the images come out smooth clean. Just in case you would ever need it for good reasons, Canon also added an expanded ISO, for boosting the imaging sensor up to ISO12800 sensitivity, when dim light seems bright already.

The EOS 550D redefines the entry level DSLR category, putting technologies and features previously the preserve of the professional into the hands of the consumer – allowing them to achieve outstanding results. With the EOS 550D, consumers are free to explore the limits of their own creative vision.

Thankfully, the EOS 550D features the 14-bit image processing that ensures users will have enough information in the pictures they take, as in the color depth to play with in post processing the image, without easily ending up with artifacts. Other significant technical specifications include a 3" Clear View LCD that packs 1,040k dots resolution, and the most awaited and rumored of all, selectable frame rate for capturing Full HD video. I will get back at you with a full detailed article, availability and pricing.
