Finally, Windows Phone 8 gets true leading hardware: with the Nokia 1520, the Microsoft platform obtains its first high-end large-display smartphone equipped with a 1080p display and the latest Snapdragon 800 processor from Qualcomm. This couldn’t have come fast enough and Nokia is making history here.

This time, Nokia didn’t hold back on the specification, and we are finally going to see a Windows Phone that can go head to head with Android handsets without feeling “last-gen”. This is going to help Microsoft and Nokia quite a bit. No matter what one can say, specs do matter, especially in a competitive market like we have today.

NVIDIA has been busy: after formally introducing G-Sync, the company has also announced that its SHIELD Android device will get a “Console Mode” in which SHIELD acts as a gaming box connected to the TV (paired with a 3^rd party wireless controller). Not surprisingly, this is a feature that users asked for as soon as NVIDIA showed this console at CES 2013. This also opens the gate to something even more interesting: a display-less (and more affordable) SHIELD “box”. (more…)

After having been leaked a couple of days ago, the Sony A7 and A7R have now gone “official”. Both cameras use the E-mount and share lenses with the Sony NEX Series. The FE premium lenses for full-frame sensors would be more adequate, but there are so few of them… Those cameras are the full-frame monsters that die-hard fans were hoping for, and they respectively use impressive 36 and 24 Megapixel sensors. In fact, that’s so many pixels that Sony has decided to remote the low-pass filter (blurring) on the Alpha 7R. (more…)

How many clicks, how many fingertaps does it take to get your favorite music playing when you come home? Any number greater than one should make you interested in Bose’s new SoundTouch technology, the audio pioneer hopes. Promising “a whole new way of enjoying your music at home,” Bose on Thursday introduced a new, wireless music system that is slated to become a company-wide standard for virtually all of Bose’s hifi and video products.

“It should be effortless to get to your music. It should be as easy as turning on the lights when you walk into a room,” said Bose product line manager Glenn Gomes-Casseres at the unveiling of the SoundTouch system in New York. To reach this goal, the company is combining technologies new and old: any SoundTouch device features six preset buttons that can be programmed through mobile apps or Bose software on PCs and Macs. The music can stream from a computer in the home or from the Internet, such as radio stations or services like Pandora.
