Nikon Coolpix S800c embraces the Android operating system

A couple of days ago, we took a look at the leaked image of the Nikon Coolpix S800c, an Android-powered camera which is definitely different from the rest of the digital cameras in the market. After all, one must take note that the Nikon Coolpix S800c is not a smartphone, so just how does the Android platform fare when it is installed onto a device that functions primarily as a digital camera. Well, you will get built-in Wi-Fi connectivity that works in a similar manner to that of a smartphone or a tablet that runs on Android, complete with Wi-Fi connectivity.

Nintendo Power magazine has no more 1-Ups, folds

The digital media is certainly the new wave that churns itself into a tsunami of information for the masses, and traditional print media have been on the decline for quite some number of years already, with no signs of abating. Well, magazines too, are finding the environment to be more and more competitive, and Nintendo Power must have lost all their 1-Up mushrooms, and hence, they will cease publication shortly after being in circulation for over two decades, having overseen the classic Nintendo Entertainment System, the SNES, the Nintendo 64, followed by the disc-based GameCube, and even until the Wii was released.

Consumer Reports cuts loose, compares Scion FR-S against Subaru BRZ

The folks at Consumer Reports are a lot like the Ben Steins of the automotive world. At first glance, they are the dry-as-saltines, facts-only crew that can't be bothered by anything but the empirical data with which they distill to arrive at their coveted "Recommended" accolades. It isn't always this way with CR, though, as we found out when they hopped behind the wheel of the Toyobaru coupes of our collective dreams, the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ. Automotive engineer Jake Fisher hosts this test and speaks for the CR team explaining that, though both coupes are very much the same animal, they have subtle differences.

HTC eyes the enterprise market with $35.4 million investment into Magnet Systems

While the commercial sector is a pretty lucrative one, the enterprise sector can be too and it seems that HTC might be interested in getting their foot in the door. According to reports, HTC has made a $35.4 million investment into Magnet Systems, which for those who are unfamiliar, is a US-based developer of a platform for building enterprise apps. This investment is expected to give HTC a 17.1% stake in the company. Of course it is a bit early to tell what HTC might have planned for the enterprise sector - could it be just software or hardware or maybe even both.
