Itching to get consumer preview of Windows 8? Here's how.



Windows 8 consumer's preview is packed with features. One of the prominent features included is the latestInternet Explorer 10. It's way faster, fluid and responsive compared to it's predecessor. You can double tap to zoom in or zoom out and zooming and panning is as nimble and fluid, no lagness there.

Besides that, there're loads of other functions such as the App Bar, Semantic zoom (minimise and organise your tiles to your preference with a pinch), app management and more. Looking great for Microsoft to launch their tablet OS!

WOW! 41 MEGAPIXEL CAMERA? wait... a PHONE CAMERA???

Recently Nokia have just announced a camera-phone with a 41 megapixel sensor. wait a minute... This is a joke right? Kid me NOT!  The Finnish giant has been working on this technology for five years to make it into a reality (they are now still working on their low light sensor before it's May release). The bad side is this monster is only on Symbian (latest Symbian Belle). Not to worry though, the execs said they're planning to move all the great specs into Windows phone sometime soon. According to Nokia, it is not really about megapixels (who will be using such a big photos that will usually ended up way smaller when uploaded into Facebook, Flicks & other social networking sites); they have introduced "pixel-oversampling" technology that reportedly will reduce the 41 megapixel to only 5 megapizel, while filtering out all the noise & artificial data a.k.a flaws in the photo, leaving it with crisp, natural and vivid photos. Other features include digital zoom full HD video recording and it is also the first Nokia phone to be able to record HD Audio, plus Dolby Digital Plus. Suggested retail price is around Euro450/USD600.
