Nikon Coolpix S800 To Have Android Inside
According to Nikonrumors this morning, Nikon will soon announce a new Android based compact camera. The model name will be the Coolpix S800. Nikon is expected to make this announcement at Photokina later on this year. We knew it was only a matter of time until this happened, afterall the compact camera market has suffered hugely with the popularity of the Apple iPhone and Samsung Galaxy S II and III to name just a few. It’s interesting, where does this leave us? Our phones have become our cameras and our cameras are becoming our phones.

I’m a big fan of James Franco, he’s an excellent and highly respected American actor. I particularly enjoyed his role in 127 hours, this latest New Fact Checkers episode is a lot more funny though and he plays the part very well.

Celebrity magazine Fact Checkers Dylan (Brain Sacca) and Russell (Peter Karinen) discover a photograph of Franco (via a Samsung Galaxy Note 5.3) of Franco looking pregnant, in his second trimester in fact.
