Canon EOS 5D Mark II 2.0.3 firmware yanked due to audio issues, fix is on the waPosted by: admin in Laptops It’s not déjà vu, it’s just all happening again. Just over a year after Canon had to bow its head in shame due to a black dot / banding issue that plagued the EOS 5D Mark II, along comes yet another heartache surrounding one of the company’s finest DSLRs. The v2.0.3 firmware update that was issued earlier in the week is apparently causing audio problems for some users, with the actual quirk going a little something like this:
In the meanwhile, Canon has pulled the update from its support site while it works on a new firmware version to patch things up, but aside from a promise of “soon,” there’s no way to tell when exactly the new file will hit the pipes.

Via Techeblog  Good news, Android fans. It looks like you’ll soon have a SlingPlayer to call your own. While complete details are still pretty light, the company was showing off the app at the recent GDGT Live event in Austin, and confirmed that it will be available sometime this summer, and support streaming over both 3G and WiFi — yes, even Friends streaming. Head on past the break for a quick demo video.

AnyDATA to preview new embedded 2G, 3G wireless modules at CTIAPosted by: admin in Laptops It looks like Novatel isn’t the only outfit that’s figured out something useful to do with Qualcom’s Wearable Mobile Device module designs. In advance of CTIA 2010 the kids at AnyDATA have announced the new DTW line of embedded 2G and 3G wireless modules. At 21 x 22 x 4.5mm they’re smaller than a quarter, which means that your dream of having a wireless quarter might someday be realized! (But not a wireless Susan B. Anthony Dollar — that would be crazy.) All modules in the line include GPSs and accelerometers, and at least two of ‘em — the DTW-200 (CDMA 1X) and DTW-500 (3G EVDO Rev A) modules — feature A-GPS as well. Check out the PR after the break for all the details juicy details — you know, except price and availability. Apparently those are still TBA.

HTC A9292 ‘Supersonic’ shows up in another inventory listingPosted by: admin in Laptops It’s anyone’s guess whether we’ll see this mythical Supersonic from HTC show up at CTIA next week (wouldn’t that be awesome?), but a phone identified as the HTC A9292 has recently made an appearance in yet another internal system which can’t be a bad sign. As a refresher, the A9292 is popularly believed to be the Supersonic, a 4.3-inch Android-powered beast for Sprint that could become one of the carrier’s very first WiMAX-enabled phones. This time around, the phone’s turned up in a warehouse portal used by indirect third-party dealers, which would seem like a sign that they’re getting ready to distribute these bad boys; hopefully we’ll know all in just a few days’ time out in Vegas. Stay tuned. [Thanks, Man Truong] HTC A9292 ‘Supersonic’ shows up in another inventory listing originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 18 Mar 2010 14:47:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

Apple patent application offers more evidence of projector plansPosted by: admin in Laptops They’re easily missed about the mass of Apple patent applications revealed each year, but the company has filed a few regarding projectors (pico projectors, specifically), and the latest one to be published has now offered a few more details on how they might all fit together. That application boasts the rather broad title of “projector system and methods,” and basically describes a setup that would let various devices (including a laptop or phone) remotely interact with a projector, which could itself be built into a device like a phone. To do that, each device in question would be equipped with a sensor of some sort that would be able to receive data from the projector, and even allow you to do fairly advanced things like calibrate the projector remotely. The application further goes on to detail how the system could accommodate multiple clients — letting folks overlay multiple images on a single presentation, for example — and it would apparently be able to receive and broadcast audio between multiple clients as well. Does this mean you’ll soon be able to control your pico projector-equipped iPhone from your sensor-equipped MacBook? Probably not, but it may not be quite as far fetched as some of Apple’s other patent applications.

NPR and WSJ building ‘Flash-free’ pages for iPad, Apple quietly delays select iPPosted by: admin in Laptops For awhile, we couldn’t decide what we were more angry at: the fact that select devices wouldn’t support Flash, or that Flash was simply too demanding on select devices. We still can’t say with any degree of certainty which side of the fence we’re on, but there’s no question that Apple’s refusal to play nice with Adobe on the iPhone, iPod touch and forthcoming iPad limits the abilities of those devices significantly. Curiously enough, it seems that Apple’s importance in the mobile (and media delivery) realm is coercing select portals to develop Flash-free websites for those who drop by on an iDevice. Both the National Public Radio and the Wall Street Journal are furiously working on iPad-friendly websites, which will be devoid of Flash for at least the first few pages down. What’s interesting is that we get the impression that this will soon become the rule rather than the exception, and it could be exactly what’s needed to launch HTML5 into stardom and put these Flash or no Flash debates behind us. In related news, we’re also seeing that a couple of iPad accessories won’t actually be ready to ship when the device itself cuts loose on April 3rd. Yesterday, the iPad Keyboard Dock was listed with a “May” ship date, though today it has moved up to a marginally more palatable “Late April.” The iPad 10W USB Power Adapter also carries a “May” date, while the iPad Case is slated for “Mid April” and that elusive camera connection kit is still nowhere to be found. But hey, at least you’ll get your (overpriced) iPad Dock Connector to VGA Adapter and iPad dock by the first weekend of next month, right?

Dell Adamo XPS alive and kicking, back for order on Dell.comPosted by: admin in Laptops Well hello again, Dell Adamo XPS. Though the incredibly thin and uniquely designed laptop disappeared from Dell.com last week and we received official comment that it was a “limited edition product with a finite number of systems available,” the Adamo XPS has reappeared in its $2,000 glory on the company’s site. According to Dell’s blog, it was merely just a move to restock the inventory and direct customers to retailers that had fresh stock — well why didn’t you just say that Dell! And do not fear about the Adamo brand, Dell reports that all is well as it starts to apply the design to other lines, just as we saw yesterday with the Vostro V13. We’re still a bit confused by the reappearance, but it sure is good to see you again, Adamo XPS. We wish you a long successful life with many many price drops.
