Should HTC take notes from Samsung’s naming structure?

Posted: 16 Aug 2011 06:06 PM PDT

It has been expressed a million times. Phones are coming out of the woodwork and carrier shelves are running out of space. Samsung, LG, Motorola, HTC and a handful of other manufacturers are pushing out phones like the world may end tomorrow. Android and the mobile realm are bursting at the seams.
HTC is easily one of the most active Android OEMs around. Every couple months, they release a new phone on another carrier – sometimes several on the same carrier within weeks of each…

Requirements: Android 2.3.4/3.0, USB HOST REQUIRED

DSLR Controller is the first and only app that allows you to fully control your Canon EOS DSLR from your Android device with only a USB cable. No computer or laptop required, no root required, only a compatible mobile device, a compatible camera, and the right USB cable.
NOTICE: This is a BETA / PRE-RELEASE version. The product is not finished yet and there will still be issues. Due to massive demand and a great many requests to release it is being released early. Please read the entire description (specifically REQUIREMENTS) and the discussion webpage (listed under BETA). The price will go up once v1.0 is reached, but the upgrade is free for those who have this BETA.

Features
——–
Features include but are not limited to:
- Live View
- Auto Focus (tap Live View)
- Manual focus adjustments in Auto Focus mode

— Picture Style
— Drive Mode
— White Balance

Note that available options depend on the mode you have your camera set to (M, Av, Tv, etc)

Controls
——–
You can tap anything on screen that looks like a button to bring up a configuration dialog for that option. If an option is not available, it will not look like a button.
Additionally, after you have used an option, or you long-press said option, it will become highlighted. The highlighted option is configurable using the volume up and volume down buttons.
Tap the live view image to perform Auto Focus (if the lens is not set to Manual Focus). Tap-and-hold to move the zoom and focus area (red rectangle, availability depends on current focus mode)
The capture button works the same as the capture button on your camera, but it only does “deep” presses, not “half” presses. For example, in continuous or bulb shooting mode, tap-and-hold the capture button as long as you want to shoot.

Usage
—–
Install the app on your device, then connect your camera. A popup should ask you if you want to open DSLR Controller. Tap yes, and you should be in business.

BETA
—-
There are various known issues in this BETA. The most common ones are communication errors and freezes – including the live view still working but buttons not responding. When such an issue occurs, we strongly advise disconnecting your camera, turning it off and on, rebooting your Android device, and only then trying again.
Further information and discussion (MUST READ) about the BETA can be found in the XDA-Developers thread here:

Future
——
There are many features on the to-do list. Including for example video support, timelapse, scripting, and image review and transfer.

Requirements
————
- Android device with USB host support
- Canon EOS DSLR
- Correct USB host / OTG / On-The-Go cable for your device, if your device does not have a “full size” USB connector on it
Most Honeycomb TABLETS should be compatible. At the moment the only PHONE that is compatible is the Samsung Galaxy S2, with the 2.3.4 KG series firmware or newer.
DSLR controller has been tested with the following hardware:
- Samsung Galaxy S2, (KG1/2.3.4 firmware or newer), requires USB Host cable, eBay: “i9100 usb host”
- Motorola Xoom (you need the 3.2 update), requires USB Host cable, eBay: “xoom usb host”
- Acer Iconia A500, no special cable required
- Asus Transformer, no special cable required, connect to dock
- Toshiba Thrive, no special cable required
- Canon EOS:
GREAT: 550D, 60D, 600D, 7D
OK: 1D mk IV, 5D mk II, 50D
BAD: 40D, 400D, 450D
Working hard on compatibility!
Let us know which hardware you are succesfully using with DSLR Controller !

What’s in this version:
Fixed:
10x zoom + move area == crash
Exp.cmp. screen crash
Exp.mode change crash
Empty value selectors
Kelvin == 0
Various multithreading issues
Automatic internal enable liveview
LiveView, AutoFocus, RemoteRelease capability detection + fallbacks
Option display
Shutter button, hold –> on/off, for Bulb and Cont. shooting
LiveView on/off button
Focus area static while focused
Compatiblity should be much improved for 1D(s) Mark III / 40D / 400D / 450D / 1000D

Tesla Model S and Roadster play nice on video

Posted: 16 Aug 2011 06:00 PM PDT

Tesla Family Portrait

Vroooooom…. well, more accurately, shhhhhhh. That’s a Tesla Model S and its sibling the Roadster (looking rather dashing in red, we might add) above, carving corners together as a family. What actual news do we have about these “premium electric vehicles?” None, we just thought this clip (after the break) of the two sleek EVs working their way around a closed desert track was pretty darned cool. The Model S and Roadster have posed for family portraits before, but this is the first time we’ve seen them play nice on video. You know the deal, head on after the break for all the battery-powered, four-wheel madness your little geek heart can handle.

[Thanks, nunomaia]
