Nikon has claimed that it’s not worried by the new Nokia 808 Pureview smartphone, which features a 41 million pixel camera and Carl Zeiss lens, instead claiming that it is still growing in a shrinking market.

There’s only so much Apple can do in-house, and the additional apps from external developers allow for innovation that simply wouldn’t have come about any other way. Given that the original iPhone didn’t even support downloadable apps at all and it took a whole year for the App Store to arrive, it’s impressive that there are over half a million apps out there now.
Tech your kids will laugh at Technology is very like fashion: today’s must-have item is often tomorrow’s utter embarrassment. Take mobile phones for example: while the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X was a really big deal in the 1980s , it was also the size of a house and looks as daft to us today as the Samsung Galaxy Note, er, looks daft to us today .
