Canon EOS 5D Mark II 2.0.3 firmware update has fair share of troubles
March 19, 2010
Looks like the recently unveiled Canon EOS 5D Mark II 2.0.3 firmware update did not only improve image quality, but it plus came with its fair share of troubles, where selected users saw a malfunction which resulted in the camera being unable to record audio under selected circumstances. that has led Canon to remove the firmware update from its website, while providing a warning to folks who have already installed it to set the sound recording settings to Auto whenever the camera has its mode dial set to C1/C2/C3. that advisory is considering a malfunction occurs when manual recording levels for C1/C2/C3 are changed and the camera becomes unable to record audio whether the ability is turned off. Hopefully a fix to that supposed fix will happen - soon.

Video Indicates The Android 2.1 Update Might Give Moto Droid Live Wallpapers
March 7, 2010
It was previously mentioned that the Motorola DROID would not be getting live wallpapers, despite getting an Android 2.1 firmware update. But according to that latest video that’s arisen, the Droid does seem to be running a firmware that supports live wallpapers (such as wallpapers with flashy dots moving around it). Apparently it’s running Android 2.1 ESE53, but you probably can’t confirm that from the video alone. Are live wallpapers vital to you, or are they just a fancy gimmick to get you to choose the Android platform by others?

Droid Eris users get Android 2.1 update
February 18, 2010
It seems that Verizon is already offering the Android 2.1 update (with Sense UI) to Droid Eris owners Over-The-Air (OTA), although only a handful of folks have claimed to have received it. Installing the update is pretty problematic though, since many reports of complete device wipes have already filtered through alongside Google detail synchronization issues. As always, the golden rule of thumb would be to backup all of your notes before you manufacture any firmware update as you never know when Murphy might strike.

Samsung Omnia HD gets JB1 firmware update
February 11, 2010
Samsung Omnia HD owners will be pleased to know that they will be able to download the JB1 firmware update via PC Studio 7, where that firmware will see the introduction of kinetic scrolling to the smartphone, although it does not apply to the whole interface, but in parts only. Apart from that, additional improvements are a zippier web browser, better camera settings and a slew of bug fixes. You might find performance to be pretty sluggish after that though, since the firmware update will leave your system with just 17MB of memory left instead of 30MB prior to that firmware update. Be certain to prepare a backup before you continue, lest Murphy's Law strikes!
