Nokia Lumia 520 comes to AT&T GoPhone on July 26th for $100 off-contract
Posted in: Today's Chili
Want a cheap gateway to the world of Windows Phone? In the US, it won’t get much cheaper than AT&T’s new version of the Lumia 520. Nokia’s starter device will cost just $100 contract-free when it hits AT&T’s GoPhone prepaid service on July 26th — that’s $50 less than T-Mobile’s already inexpensive Lumia 521. There won’t be LTE support or other frills, but we suspect that many customers won’t mind at this price.

Canon hasn’t been at the center of rumors lately, but it’s said that the company is working on an extremely impressive camera that’s almost too good to be true. Canon is reportedly testing a new DSLR with a pro-sized body similar to that of the 1D X, but what’s most impressive is that the camera boasts a 75MP sensor.
According to Photography Bay, sources are saying that testing of the new camera is underway right now, and while the camera will be similar to the 1D X, this unnamed DSLR will have a higher frame rate than the 1D X, and it’s rear display will be “shockingly high resolution”.
It’s also said that the camera may be announced later this year, with a 2014 release time window planned. However, it’s important to note that just because Canon is testing a camera, doesn’t mean that it’ll actually make it to the market, but we have no reason to believe that Canon wouldn’t release an extremely-high megapixel camera at some point.
Of course, we’ve heard rumblings in the past about the Canon EOS 1S, which is said to pack a 47MP sensor, so we’re guessing that Canon’s next-generation camera will most likely be just that. However, we wouldn’t be surprised if a 75MP camera eventually was released at some point in the future.
Megapixels aren’t everything, though, as we’ve seen with smartphone cameras, but a 75MP sensor would make for some high-resolution shots. We’re taking this rumor with a grain of salt, but also with a sense that one day we’ll see a camera with that kind of performance hit the market at some point.

It would appear that it’s not just Motorola that’s getting (back) into the wearable smart devices business this week at LG’s own trademark list leak tips several new units. What’s spilled here in late July is a series of names: GPAD, G Hub, and G Glass, the first likely referring to none other than a brand new tablet. Remember the last time LG brought a tablet to the public?
It’s been tipped that a new LG tablet of some sort would be coming here inside 2013. Though back in May a tipster’s suggestion did not clarify whether the company would work with Windows or Android for its next slate push, we’re guessing it’s squarely in the latter corner at this point.
What with their re-dedication to the “G” brand family and tips of an LG G2 coming up quick. Expect one fewer camera than the original LG G-Slate this time around – 3D is all but dead, in that latitude.
In the company’s latest reminder that the LG G2 will be coming soon, LG pushes “LG G Next”, and fills in the blanks for the company’s next aim: the user. Sound familiar?
It may very well be that we’ll be seeing more than just the one device come August 7th. That’s the date of the next big LG event, and the place we’ll almost certainly be seeing the LG G2 for the first time – so to speak. Stay tuned for the next big LG wave!

Normally, a gallery’s white walls are meant to foreground the art. In the case of Brazilian artist Henrique Oliveira‘s latest sculpture, Baitogogo, they are the art.

Smartphones and tablets are great for so many things, but file-sharing is not one of them. Transferring things to and from mobile devices is painful and annoying, like a rash. But today, we get a refreshing salve.

Tired of needing the pesky internet for all your cloud-related, Microsoft-hosted files? Tire no more, as SkyDrive in Windows 8.1 adds the ability to make files available offline across your SkyDrive-enabled devices by simply clicking a button. After enabling said functionality, those files will become available across your devices even when you’re away from the information superhighway (perhaps in the rural roads of Maine, per our recent experiences).
We took a deep dive into Windows 8.1 in late June, exploring the SkyDrive functionality as well as a whole mess of other features — you can find that piece right here. Windows 8.1 will arrive for the Windows 8 loyalists in the coming months (starting in August), but a preview version is available right now.

In spite of iOS and Android’s quest towards world domination, it’s easy for us overprivileged first-world residents to forget that the spread of the smartphone doesn’t affect everyone. In fact, only half of all mobile phones shipped in 2013 are expected to be smartphones. The rest are the slower, clunkier, and exponentially cheaper devices officially known as feature phones but more commonly dismissed as dumbphones. Careful, though. They’re smarter than you think.
