Just like many other Sony digital cameras, the Cybershot DSC-H2 comes with the Carl Zeiss lens that so many people adore. I am currently the owner of the H1 and I am very impressed with the specs on it. The H2 is very similar to the H1 with the 12x zoom and the light-weight/compact design. However, they have increased the image quality to 6.0 megapixels which bumps it up to the ‘standard’ for digital cameras right now. The H2 also has a higher sensitivity to details which comes in handy for low-light situations.

Of course, to get the newest camera you will have to fork out $385 while you can get the similar H1 for $120 less! Overall, the upgrades don’t seem to be worth it for current H1 owners but they do say that if you own an H1 then you will love the H2 just as much (probably because they didn’t really change anything 🙂 ). I think the release of this camera was to help Sony keep competitive with the current megazoom cameras on the market.

Apple is playing the role of bearer of bad news today by sending rejection letters to numerous people who applied for the iPhone Developer Program. The Standard Program costs developers $99 and would give them the opportunity to have the applications they developed with the help of the SDK, to be published.  On the Apple Developer site they did state that the program would only be available to a limited number of developers and those only in the United States, but no one was expecting so many people, both individuals and corporations, to be rejected.

The letters went out today and they read something like this:

Dear Registered iPhone Developer,

Thank you for expressing interest in the iPhone Developer Program. We have received your enrollment request. As this time, the iPhone Developer Program is available to a limited number of developers and we plan to expand during the beta period. We will contact you again regarding your enrollment status at the appropriate time.

Thank you for applying.

Best regards,

iPhone Developer Program

TUAW reports that the number of people being rejected is in the thousands. It’s hard to believe that Apple is willing to turn down people willing to pay them $99 (or $299 for the Enterprise Program) to be a part of the program. Some people felt as though Apple was only denying individuals until a handful of people who registered as a company or corporation received the same rejection letter. At this point the questions running through the minds of those that have been rejected are simply why? A more detailed explanation would have been nice. More importantly, they’re also wondering if there’s a chance that they’ll ever be approved in the future. Why work on developing an application when you don’t know if there’s ever a chance that it will get published?

As you can imagine, people are not happy, especially not knowing if they’ll ever have a chance. One person on Twitter (Daniel Jalkut) summed everything up perfectly by saying “In other news, it looks like the Jailbreak Developer Program still has open slots, and people are getting approved as I type.”
