The Nikon D3X is a 24.5 megapixel professional grade full frame (35mm) digital single lens reflex camera (DSLR) announced by the Nikon Corporation on 1 December 2008. The D3X augments the Nikon D3 at the top of the Nikon DSLR line, as it is the high-speed professional model (in terms of ISO and frame rate), analogous to the company’s previous D1h and D2h cameras, while the D3x is the high-resolution model.
Xperia X1 is an arc-slider phone with the Windows Mobile 6.1 Operating System. It is Sony Ericsson’s first mobile phone to feature Windows Mobile. The device also has Java virtual machine (JBed) and supports JavaME that is claimed to have richer set of features than typically available.
The phone features a three-inch touchscreen overlaying a QWERTY keypad which emerges when the user slides the touchscreen face upward, much as in the HTC TyTN II, although the X1’s touchscreen slides out in an arc. Its touchscreen is a 65,536-color TFT WVGA display. It has a 3.2 megapixel digital camera which records video at thirty frames per second in VGA (640×480) quality. There is also a secondary front facing camera for videoconferencing that is of QCIF format. Connectivity options for the phone include: mini-USB; wireless LAN 802.11b/g; Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, FTP, and HID; EDGE; and quad-band GSM, UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA, and HSCSD. The X1 has 512MB of internal memory (400MB free), which is expandable to 32 gigabytes using High Capacity microSD cards, although currently only cards up to 16 gigabytes have been released by SanDisk.[5] The phone also features A-GPS for navigation.[6].
The X1 ships with Opera Mobile pre-installed.
Contrary to the previous information, this phone also is able to use the GSM network feature Alternate line service.
Standard features on the X1 include push email, an RSS feed aggregator, and handwriting recognition.
The device is powered by Qualcomm’s ARM 11 MSM7200A CPU, which runs at 528 MHz. The device’s memory is 384MB RAM.
Now that Chrome is now a stable browser since Google announced that they are removing the beta label, Internet users are now expecting some improvements in which the browser can support add-on’s (custom themes and extensions) similar to Mozilla’s Firefox.

“What’s the latest that you notice with Youtube as of late?” this was the question a fellow blogger asked me over Yahoo Messenger chat. To satisfy my curiousity, I hastely check YouTube and this is what I found out: A widescreen YouTube player.
