While US cellphones are stuck with 3 megapixel or less cameras the Japanese keep getting bigger and bigger cameras on their phone. The latest mega phone-camera hybrid is the Sharp Aquos Shot 933SH which is the first cellphone to come with a 10 megapixel camera.

It will be available in Japan in a couple of weeks but like most Japanese super phones it won't be available in the US unless you import it yourself.

What do you get if you combine the form factor of a netbook with the usability of a tablet pc? the answer is the Asus Eee PC T91, and techradar have posted a review of one.

Here's what they think of it:

Overall, we're impressed with what Asus has done here. Since the introduction of the original Eee PC, manufacturers (Asus included) have desperately tried to tweak netbooks to set themselves apart from the crowd.

The problem is, all these tweaks are too subtle to really register. The Asus Eee PC T91 on the other hand genuinely moves things forward. As long Asus can keep pricing to realistic levels, it deserves to have another winner on its hands.

Boy Genius Report is rarely wrong when they report rumors so I think we can accept the following as accurate information about the upcoming next iteration of the iPhone:

Release Date: July 17th
Storage: 16GB ($199) and 32GB ($299) versions available
Battery Life: 1.5 times as long
Processor: 2 times as fast
Camera: 3.2 Megapixel Camera

Plus a bunch of other minor stuff. Not a massive upgrade over the current 3g iPhones but when you have such a hit on your hands it makes sense to keep milking the cow as much as possible and not reinvent the wheel every year.

TeamXbox have released what they claim are details of the rumored ZuneHD from Microsoft, and it doesn't really clear up a lot of the mystery surrounding the device.

It is described as a "Digital Entertainment Handheld", a cross between Xbox and Zune offering both gaming and media playback. Microsoft seems to be hoping this will be their next generation breakthrough the way the iPhone has been for apple but we aren't convinced - it won't be a phone as they don't want to compete with Windows Mobile phones, for gaming it won't be as powerful as a standalone console, and the screen is too small for worthwhile HD media playback.

Are we missing something here? will Microsoft surprise us? or will it be a failed Microsoft attempt at a consumer electronics device? What does the ZuneHD offer for media and connectivity over either a current generation smartphone or a tablet style netbook?
