New Toys from Samsung: The Galaxy Note II, Galaxy Camera, and Windows 8 Tablets and Phone

All in all, Samsung has pulled together a very nice suite of features. But we wonder a great deal about the efficiency of the Note's general size. We've had an original Note in hand for some time, but after the initial deep dive that goes with learning a new device, we haven't exactly put it through any blisteringly detailed use. Our own biggest problem is that it typically falls short in terms of offering enough functionality to make it a device of choice. And it is simply too large to just carry around as a smartphone.

 It will be interesting to see how - or if - sales for the Note II develop. We greatly applaud the "innovation" but we're not convinced the form factor is a winner.

The Galaxy Camera

Samsung next surprised us by debuting a new camera, and specifically an Android-driven camera. The idea of the camera is to marry both video and optical technology with some smartphone capabilities. To date, most smartphones from most vendors (with the possible exception of Nokia) have offered basic camera functionality along with some software capabilities for editing.

Samsung has opted to take a different approach here - start with a very high end camera concept and then add some mobile operating system capabilities to the mix, so that one ends up with a very sophisticated mobile camera. Hence the Samsung Galaxy camera, shown in the accompanying image.

PhotoBeamer Mirrors your Camera Roll to the Big Screen

Now that's how you display photos!

A couple days ago, we told you all about Facebook's rather weak photo-sharing app, Camera. But what if you're looking for a decidedly more local solution to share your pics? Scalado, a Swedish imaging company with its technology already available in over half-a-billion phone cameras, has just released it's first iOS app, PhotoBeamer. While you'll find no bells and whistles, it is quite possibly the easiest way to mirror image from your iOS device to a larger screen.

PhotoBeamer can display an image from your iOS device's camera roll on any display with a web browser. After choosing an initial photo, the app starts looking for a QR code. You'll find that code on the front page of Scalado's associated website. The image you initially selected quickly appears on the display and swiping through the Camera Roll changes the image in turn.

After playing with the app for a night, we found PhotoBeamer to work solidly. Latency between the iOS device and the browser-based image was almost non-existent and the interface is extremely simple to use from the outset.

Thursday Recap: Facebook Camera, T-Mobile USA, PayPal Nets 12 Retailers

Laugh if you want, but we love Jamba Juice. We also happen to rather like PayPal, which makes it easy to spend the money we make selling our old junk on eBay that would be otherwise cluttering the house. So it would seem that being able to buy our Peach Pleasure or Strawberries Forever smoothies at Jamba Juice with our PayPal account would be a match made in heaven -- assuming there was one near us, which there is sadly not. But for those who do, enjoy! We hate you. (Just kidding!) Here’s what else is happening for this Thursday, May 24, 2012.

Facebook Camera Now Available, So Why’d They Buy Instagram?

The big news of the day comes from Facebook, who has released a dedicated Facebook Camera app for the iPhone. And in record time, the app has been released and already received a 1.0.1 update -- so if you’ve already installed it, you might want to head back to the App Store to get current. So how is this different from Instagram, which the social network recently acquired? Facebook Camera promises that users can share photos on their network

Lights, Camera, Apple: Macs, iPhones, and iPads on TV

by Ambika Subramony 5Comments

Apple is notorious for its product placement. Unlike most companies, Cupertino doesn't pay for placement--it offers product instead. Sometimes it's subtle, and other times writers (who are oftentimes fans themselves) create entire episodes centered around a devotion to Apple. From vintage Apple to the iPad, here are 10 shows that feature Apple computers.
