KitKat’s camera boost

KitKat

Google has taken the wraps off the latest version of Android KitKat, 4.4.1, which is aimed at gving the camera system a much-needed boost, particularly in the Nexus 5.

While the hardware in the flagship was impressive, its camera capabilities were lacking – but first impressions suggest this update addresses the problems we have had until now.

iOS 7 hits the bigtime

Apple has revealed that 74% of iOS users have now upgraded to version 7 – with a 10% increase since October.

It also eases fears over consumer adoption – it seems all those complaints were quickly forgotten as user actually began spending time with Sir Jony Ive’s software.

The best selfie you’ll see all day

Rangers in Western Australia thought they had lost a piece of hi-tech camera kit when it went missing.

Rather than a local looking for a new snapper, the tiny camera was nicked by a young seaeagle – who captured these amazing selfie images as he flew away with it.
