Olympus Pen MFT cam priced and dated

Olympus' new Micro-Four-Thirds camera, the extremely gorgeous Pen, has been dated and priced for the UK audience.

The camera which uses the new MFT tech to allow a DSLR quality pic, but in a much smaller chassis (as used in the Panasonic G1), will start from £699.99 (minus lenses) at the start of July.

It might be expensive and not available yet, but you want it as much as us, right?

VeroPass Product Authenticity site launch

In the US, the FBI reckons that the economy loses US$200-250 billion a year due to the counterfeiting industry (which apparently can be counted as much as 5% of world trade). To stop this, various companies have given a crack at creating their own security measures for protecting their intellectual property.

Well, now we have a dedicated service in the form of VeroPass, which has just launched their new 2-code process for ensuring a product is legit.

Why Flip makes good sense

With the emmergence of the iPhone 3G S that packs video support, there have been a few articles cropping up suggesting that Flip mightn't survive in the face of their "new" competition.

The fact of the matter is, phones have been able to do video for years. In the UK video-calling phones (which first emerged about 5 years ago) are rampant, but there still seems to be a market for the Flip range of point-and-shoot video cams. Why is this? Because people don't particularly like using their phones for video at the moment.

XP Downgrade Period extended again

You read the title correctly, just when you think XP might finally bite the dust, boom, Microsoft extends the downgrade ability another year.

The most recent plan was to allow those who buy Windows 7 equipped machines between launch in October and six months after that the ability to downgrade to XP. However, for companies skipping Vista altogether, that will only give entire IT departments 6 months to integrate an entire suite of new equipment, which in the enterprise market, is a blink of an eye.

iPhone 3GS outsells iPhone 3G on launch day

O2 has just let us know that (by lunchtime) the iPhone 3GS has already outsold the opening days sales of the iPhone 3G in the UK.

We did take a wander down to the Apple and O2 stores this morning, and can confirm that even in a relatively small city, the queues were really quite big.

Footfall to the O2 stores was 10x that of a normal day, with the online store seeing a 100% increase in traffic.

Another little bit is that the Black is outselling the White by 3:1
