Nokia Lumia 920 to have wireless charging and a misleading 8 megapixel PureView camera

Reporters from The Verge are sitting on some exclusive Nokia Lumia information that they’re slowly trickling out as we get closer and closer to the Finnish handset maker’s press event on Wednesday. Their latest article states that the Lumia 920 will have wireless charging, it’ll have 32 GB of built-in storage, it’ll have a 720p screen that measures 4.5 inches across, and that the camera will have an 8 megapixel sensor. The camera will be marketed as “PureView” capable because of “some advancements in image stabilization and camera software”. Considering that Nokia used the “PureView” branding to promote their Symbian powered 41 megapixel camera-beast-phone, we’re a little upset to see them slap the same label on what will undoubtedly be a generic sensor paired up some image manipulation trickery.

Google to announce a 3G Nexus 7 in October, right in time for the iPad mini

Google’s $200 Android tablet, the Nexus 7, is a sweet little device that’s attracted a ton of press because of everything it can do for half the price of the iPad 2. Most folks get the $250 model with 16 GB of internal memory, but still, the $200 8 GB model can handle most people’s needs just fine. There’s a slight problem though. The Nexus 7 isn’t very useful if you try to use it outside your home since it can only connect to WiFi networks. If you live in a part of the world where you can connect to an open WiFi hotspot with little to no effort, then congratulations. Not everyone is so lucky. According to Paul O’Brien from MoDaCo, he says that Google will start selling a 3G enabled Nexus 7 in roughly six weeks. To put it another way, mid October, which coincidentally is when we’re expecting Apple to announce a smaller iPad. Continue reading “Google to announce a 3G Nexus 7 in October, right in time for the iPad mini”

Walmart Testing iPhone-Based Self-Checkout System

Reuters reports that Walmart is currently testing a new “Scan & Go” service at one Arkansas store. This new “Scan & Go” service allows iPhone users to scan items with their device as they shop and then proceed to a self-checkout station as they are on their way out of the store to complete their purchase. Sounds similar Apple’s EasyPay system that the company uses at its stores.

The test comes months after Walmart said that it would add more self-checkout lanes at its Walmart and Sam’s Club stores. Earlier this week, Walmart held test sessions and participants were compensated with a $100 payment and a $25 Walmart gift card for the one-hour sessions.

The report also points to survey Walmart is using to gather feedback on the new system. If this test does turn out to be a mass deployment among all of Walmart stores, can you imagine the huge potential this has to make the shopping and checkout process more personal?
