Fujifilm may have laid claim to “smallest 12x zoom,” but Olympus’ SP-570 UZ blows by that with a 20x optical zoom. In case you didn’t know, the “UZ” stands for “ultra zoom.” Not a bad piece of glass; f/2.8 - f/4.5 with dual image stabilization so you can actually use the 20x […]

As is the custom in these matters, Dell has flatly denied the existence of any product to announce at MWC, and went further on to state that the company doesn’t even plan on attending the show. Rumors of a “Gphone” were probably greatly exaggerated to begin with, and now at least the […]

The TiVo vs. EchoStar case got another little push towards finally ending today, as the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled that EchoStar had indeed infringed part of TiVo’s “time warp” patent. You might recall that the case had recently been on hold while the USPTO re-affirmed that the patent […]
