This is my new iPad, given to me so generously by a special friend. I am sooooo in love with it, it's the most amazing toy a gadget girl could have :) and is brilliantly useful. Took it to hospital today and not only did I have my favourite music playing during my appointment, I also treated everyone to a quick slideshow of photos, and then was a flash git and made my next appointment on my iPad calendar. Can you tell how completely chuffed I am?
Sony M2 camera arrives 08
Unlike the M1, the M2 can now playback photos and movies in this closed position. The ring around the dial on the right works like a jog dial for revving through video and images.
Along with this is a new Slideshow feature which playbacks media with the "Ken Burns effect" and built-in music, similar to a iPhoto's slideshow mode.
