When it comes to a pro-level camera, Canon’s 1D Mark and 1Ds Mark II cameras have been the king of Canon line up for quite some time now. Canon now deems it the right time to introduce a new mighty digital SLR, so let’s all welcome the Canon EOS-1D Digital SLR camera. From the outside, more »

Welcome back to InterrupTech. Catch up on the week’s most important tech stories in a hurry. We cover Apple’s sort-of-big 09/09/09 event, Palm’s Pre price drop and new Pixi, Moto banks on Android to save them, and Sprint throws down.

Palm announced the brand new webOS-based Palm Pixi today, September 9, 2009. It looks to be the rumored Palm Eos just with a new name. Is this phone anything to get excited about? Gadgetell visited with Randall Bennett to talk it over on TechVi.

Today, Palm announced the next webOS phone, the Pixi. We’ve assembled three lesser know facts that were not covered by most media outlets in announcing the new phone. These secrets might play a big role in how well the phone is received by consumers. Secret 1: Touchstone, baby Like the Palm Pre, the Pixi is more »

Palm unveiled a new smartphone today, The Palm Pixi, whose form factor looks like a next generation Treo. The Palm Pixi is a WebOS device like the Pre. It offers a multi-touchscreen, a 2-megapixel camera, built in GPS, and 8GB of memory. It comes with a new Facebook app and will be able to integrate LinkedIn and Yahoo contacts, IM, and calendar in a single view.

“With Palm WebOS, we’re creating a new, more intuitive smartphone experience defined by unmatched simplicity and usefulness,” Jon Rubinstein, Palm chairman and chief executive officer, said in a statement. “Palm Pixi brings this unique experience to a broader range of people who want enhanced messaging and social networking in a design that lets them express their personal style.”

The expected retail price of the Pixi is unknown, but it will launch on Sprint in time for the holidays and bring with it artist designed limited edition replaceable back covers that will allow users to truly personalize their devices.

Hot on the heels of the Palm Pre launch from Sprint, it looks like Palm has cooked up some new phones that we’ll see this fall. And even better, we’ll see them on two networks: Verizon and Sprint. From the looks of the part numbers, we’ll be in for a surprise. From Verizon, the screen more »

Take this about as far as you can throw it, but analyst for RBC Capital, Mike Abramsky says Palm sold 150,000 Pre devices since launch in the USA. These numbers are in stark contrast to the over a million iPhone 3GS units sold worldwide over the first weekend. Is 150,000 units enough to save Palm? more »

Working off of a leaked copy of the webOS ROM, a few users have discovered some references to a second Palm webOS based device. It was not that long ago we first saw details of the Palm Eos that is rumored to be on its way to AT&T, and this ROM adds some further evidence more »

My, oh my! Isn’t Palm hitting the the headlines lately? And this time, it doesn’t even have to with the whole “Pre vs. iPhone” hoopla. Instead, it seems that Palm has got another rabbit up their sleeve. A new device?

According to what I hear, they are working on another device that might be coming out as early as this Fall. Now, with a release date just a few months after the Pre, there is obviously no way it’s going to be a next generation device. Nope, this one is supposedly a “mini-Pre”…smaller than the original, and targeting a new crowd.

What started as rumor has now finally come true, as Canon introduced its latest professional DSLR camera model, the EOS 5D Mark II Digital SLR camera. It might have taken Canon three years to update its highly popular EOS 5D released sometime in 2005, but it looks like the three long years of wait may be well worth it. Improving on its predecessor’s features, the 5D Mark II features a full-frame CMOS sensor coupled with HD video capture. This may not be the DSLR industry’s first camera to have this feature since Nikon has introduced it with their recently announced D90 DSLR, but it is certainly the first Canon DSLR camera to have it.

Aside from the HD video capture, the EOS 5D Mark II is packed with great features and functionality that would certainly please professional camera users. These include; a 21.1 megapixel full frame 24 x 36mm CMOS sensor, DIGIC 4 imaging processor and an ISO sensitivity range of 50 to a whopping 25,600. In addition, the 5D Mark II also has a 3.9 fps continuous shooting capability, 15-point Autofocus with nine selectable AF points, a 3-inch clear view LCD, optical viewfinder with 98 percent coverage and a 150,000-cycle shutter durability.
