Hasta La Gadget!

A couple of weeks ago thanks to a rumor, word on the street was that Sony could be looking to announce a new camera called the NEX-5T in the near future. While the exact specifications of the NEX-5T remain a mystery, at the very least the existence of the device has been confirmed thanks to a recent registration for the “Sony NEX-5T” by the Taiwan NCC Agency. Unfortunately apart from the name that was sighted in the registration, the specifications of the camera were not revealed, so we guess we will just have to wait and see what Sony has in store for us, although assuming that it is part of the NEX-5 lineup of mirrorless cameras, we guess some of you guys should be able to guess the type of specs and features that we might be able to expect. In any case with this “confirmation”, we’ll definitely be keeping our eyes and ears peeled for more information, so be sure to check back with us down the road for more updates!

Ben Heck’s devised hacks for everything from console mashups to wheelchairs, and now he’s turned his attention to the humble bicycle turn indicator — something we’ve seen reinvented from time to time. Heck’s take on the device uses a LilyPad Arduino and a backpack modified with an array of lights in the shape of two arrows. Merely pick a direction by jabbing one of the satchel’s shoulder pads with your chin, and the appropriate lights will blink for 20 seconds. Sure, the existing contraption is slated for a giveaway, but the build process will be detailed on the next Ben Heck Show this Friday. To catch a glimpse of the construction in advance, mosey past the break for a quick video preview.

Google’s new Chromecast is limited. But it will play lots of files on your television — including things like Flash streams and MKVs you’ve downloaded from, say, a torrent tracker.

Yesterday we reported that Microsoft’s Windows Phone operating system appeared to be doing quite well for itself in the UK, nabbing about 8.1% of market share which put them ahead of their competitor, BlackBerry. While that is definitely good news for Microsoft and cause for celebration, over in the US it seems that Microsoft just can’t seem to get out of the shadow of iOS and Android, and according to the latest figures released by Kantar, Windows Phone currently sits at 4% of the market in June 2013, compared to back in April 2013 where they peaked at 5.6%.

However when it came down to individual carriers, AT&T’s sales of Windows Phone devices remained somewhat stable at around 4.5%, although admittedly it was down by 0.2% when it was up at 4.7% in April. Verizon on the other hand does not appear to be selling as many Windows Phone devices and the latest figures show that Windows Phone sits at 5% and is down from 6.8% in April earlier this year. While Microsoft appears to be doing quite well in Europe, we guess they should really start focusing their efforts in the US as well.

Prolific leaker Digicame Info has just showed off new images of Panasonic’s likely new 16-megapixel Lumix GX7, along with full specs that place it squarely in the high-end, if accurate. Those include a 2.76 million dot EVF that can be tilted 90 degrees, 1/8000th of a second shutter speed, and in-body image stabilization — all of which exceed the company’s $1,500 GH-3 flagship. Other features include a 25,600 max ISO, silent mode shooting, NFC, WiFi, focus peaking, an 80-degree tiltable LCD and full HD, 60 fps video. If 43 Rumors is to be believed, all of that will cost around €1,000 in Europe for the body only (around $1,325). There’s no word on an official arrival yet, but if you’re in the market for a GH-3 and were hoping for something lighter (and cheaper), you may want to hang on. Head after the break to see the tilt EVF, or check the source for more pics.
