The people who brought you the $500,000, diamond-encrusted iPhone 7 are back, this time with a more true-to-the-original, titanium version of the darling of this year’s Mobile World Congress, the revamped Nokia 3310. The new 3310 goes cheap — it’s 49 euros, which, directly converted, is about £40, $50 or AU$70 (or 2 euros if …

Already funded at about 82 percent with 36 more days to go, as promised Moment has expanded its Photo Case Kickstarter from just iPhones to support the Google Pixel and Pixel XL. The case will allow you to mount Moment’s lenses on those phones for wide- and telephoto views. Sadly, no combo photo/battery case is in sight for Google’s devices …

Kingston announced the highest-capacity thumb drive to date at CES 2017, and as a portable storage hog I’ve been counting the days until the company announced pricing. It’s available now via Kingston’s site, and the list price is down as $2,273, more than $1,000 per terabyte. Ouch. However, it’s listed with a “promo” price of $1,625 (28 percent off!), which …

High-capacity power banks aren’t new, but modern laptops can be finicky about third-party USB-C chargers. Razer’s new 12,800mAh Razer Power Bank is designed for use with the company’s Razer Blade Stealth, but also claims compatibility with other USB-C laptops. For $150 (£145, directly converted AU$195), which is usually what you’d pay for more than twice the capacity, I hope it …

This morning I received the sad news: email notifications from B&H Photo breaking that Nikon was discontinuing its DL series of enthusiast-targeted fixed-lens cameras — actually, discontinuing efforts to produce them at all. This is almost a year since the company announced them at CP+ 2016. Then came the terse press release from Nikon USA confirming B&H’s note, with the …

While several media outlets focused on the TV-related patents from the gaggle Apple was granted this week, there was one that I think points to a camera update (or at least new features) for the iPhone 8. Originally published in December 2016, it covers “optimizing capture of focus stacks.” Doesn’t sound sexy? Focus stacking would enable some really neat capabilities, …

Phones, cameras and batteries go together like the legs of a tripod. So Moment’s going back to Kickstarter for funding its revised case and lenses to support the dual-lens iPhones, including capability to add a lens in front of the phone’s telephoto camera. But this time the company’s floating an option for a battery case that adds its lens mount …

A small but convenient update to Google Maps — on Android only — will let you call up information such as a curated list of nearby restaurants as well as real-time traffic and public transit information by simply swiping up on your home screen. These aren’t new capabilities, Google just made them more quickly accessible, with what looks like a …

South Korea said Monday it plans to strengthen the safety rules for lithium-ion batteries and beef up inspections to prevent a repeat of the fire fiasco that forced Samsung to recall the Galaxy Note 7 phone. South Korea-based Samsung voluntarily recalled the Note 7 last fall when a major battery flaw caused a small number of the phones to spontaneously …
