We’re sure the UK is not alone, as we’ve already witnessed an unboxing video from Italy claiming to be the first to take delivery in Europe, so consider this a friendly reminder if you’re expecting to receive a magical device in the near future: objects in your Apple shopping basket may be closer than they appear.
Sony Dash software update adds USB playback by month’s end
Looks like Sony will be dishing out a new software update to Dash owners shortly. The first over-the-air update for Sony’s Personal Internet Viewer is expected to arrive at the end of the month carrying a number of usability and feature enhancements according to a Sony email sent to Dash owners. These include MP3 playback and picture viewing off USB, a full-screen app theme, and enhanced alarm functionality like adjustable snooze duration and one-touch alarm dismissal. Sony’s also promising new themes and additional internet radio options in a June update. Too bad Sony can’t deliver the device a battery and faster processor OTA but hey, free software is free. See the full contents of the Sony email after the break. ( Source )

Canon IXUS 300 HS Review
Still remember the Canon IXUS 300 HS, which is also known as the SD4000 IS Digital ELPH? PhotographyBLOG has a comprehensive review of this compact digital camera. As a reminder, the Canon IXUS 300 HS features a back-illuminated 10-megapixel CMOS sensor, a 3 inch LCD screen, a 3.8x (28-106mm lens) with a fastest aperture of f/2.0 and optical image stabilizer, a 3.7 frames per second burst mode at full resolution, a 720p HD movie recording with stereo sound and an HDMI port. Here is the verdict: With a 10 megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor and fast f/2.0 lens, the IXUS 300 HS was always going to deliver the goods in terms of image quality. Noise doesn’t rear its ugly head until ISO 800, with even the fastest 3200 setting proving usable, something that you can’t say about too many compact cameras, and chromatic aberrations are also well controlled. Only a slight softness in the corners and some barrel distortion at the 28mm wide-angle setting detract from an otherwise stellar performance. Available in blasted steel silver, matt black, glossy white and high gloss red, the Canon IXUS 300 HS retails for $350 each. [PhotographyBLOG]

Nokia N8 gets first official carrier in Vodafone UK
Expect this to be the first of many similar announcements as Nokia works out carrier agreements for its new flagship phone. Vodafone’s always informative Coming Soon page has today been updated with the N8, touting its “incredible” camera, social features, and personalization options. Nothing resoundingly new or informative then, but at least you’ll know where to look come late August.
Canon PowerShot SD4000 IS reviewed: great shots but no cigar
Liked the lop-eared design and low-light sensitivity of Canon’s latest point and shoot, but wanted to be sure you’d get $350 worth of camera for the asking price? You’re in luck: the PowerShot SD4000 IS, aka IXUS 300 HS, has just received its first painstakingly detailed review. Photography Blog found the back-illuminated 10 megapixel CMOS sensor snapped excellent low-noise shots in a variety of tests, though the camera’s highly-touted HS System features — a 240fps movie mode and 8.4fps burst speed — took pictures too low-res to impress. The publication also took issue with the lack of dedicated physical controls, as it apparently took six clicks to delete a single picture, but overall thought the SD4000 a good choice for casual and experienced photographers alike albeit at a somewhat inflated price. If portraits of Ben Franklin are burning a hole in your pocket, however, you’ll find it on sale today at usual suspects B&H, J&R and Adorama Camera.
