Microsoft Unveils Surface Tablet

Microsoft Surface- PC Gamer

On Monday, June 19, 2012, Microsoft has finally unveiled their next generation tab, the Surface.
Microsoft Surface is a line of tablet devices running the company's next-generation Windows operating system and marks Microsoft's first foray into the ever-expanding tablet market. Yes, you read that correctly: Microsoft will be building and branding its own tablets, effectively competing with its own hardware partners such as Dell, Hewlett-Packard, and Lenovo.

The Surface tablets will be available in two distinct versions. The first, running Windows RT -- effectively the "light" version of Windows 8 -- will launch in the fall, around the same time as Windows 8 does, and run on an as-yet-unnamed ARM CPU. While it won't have the full desktop version of Windows 8, running only the Metro apps available through the Windows app store, it will include a version of Microsoft Office at no additional charge.

Nikon D4 is also delayed for another month?

Update 3-9-2012:
Finally Nikon is back in track.
The Nikon D4 camera is again open for pre-order on Amazon with a release date of March 20th, 2012. Amazon stopped taking pre-orders just few hours after the D4 announcement. They probably now know how many cameras they will get in the first shipment and started taking pre-orders again.

The Nikon D800 is also listed with a March 20th release date. No release date is given for the D800E.

Original Post:

I should not hear this as a beloved Nikon Fan. But we have to accept the truth. While Canon is getting ready for the big day on March 2nd with Canon 5D Mark III, There are rumors going on about delaying Nikon D4 for another one month. I'm already disappointed with Nikon when I hear the story about delaying the release date for D800E and this is a shocking for me.

Proposed release dates for New Nikon product line as follows

• Nikon D800: March 22nd
• Nikon D800E: April 12th (B&H has listed April 16th)
• Nikon D4: second half of April

From above, both Nikon D4 and Nikon D800E have changed their release dates. So our only hope is Nikon D800 at the moment. Let's forget about the release date. I still believe Nikon is (still) the best DSLR in universe. Please do comment on that.

Samsung Flexible displays will be released within a year,

Samsung has been promising flexible OLED displays for what seems like ages now, but an executive confirmed yesterday that these new trick displays are on track to ship "within a year."  Last year we were promised that we'd see them in 2012, so while "within a year" could mean early 2013 it looks like they are largely on schedule.  We call them trick displays and you've no doubt seen some crazy images like the photo to the left of a wavy smartphone, but in reality these displays will bring advantages other than odd-shaped devices.

Since the displays are flexible and don't use glass they will be nearly unbreakable, meaning the next time you drop your phone your display isn't going to shatter.  We've seen some crazy prototypes of paper-esque displays and see-though panels, but what what's likely to come to market are rounded displays that were not possible with traditional LCD or AMOLED panels.  Flexible displays make things like watch phones and wearable computers a lot more practical, and as the technology progresses we will likely see more innovative applications as designers think outside the box.

Canon 5D Mark III sets for 2nd March Launch

We had previously reported that Canon’s next-generation 5D DSLR could be launching in February 28th. But it's already 29th February and still it hasn't released to market yet. So it’s obvious that those rumors did not pan out. Today we got a reliable evidence of release date of March 2nd for Canon 5D MK III. That's the invitation card Canon is sending out the various media, indicating that an event will be taking place on the 2nd of March. While it did not specifically mention the launch of the 5D MK III, the 2nd of March date seems to be in line with earlier rumors of a March launch.
