Capable of capturing 12 megapixel stills and recording full high definition 1080/60p video at 36 Mbps, the all-in-one solution also benefits from a new high speed imaging engine, a tilting LCD monitor, and a 10x optical Konica zoom Minolta HD lens. <a href="/web/20111006190152/http://www.gizmag.com/jvc-hybrid-stills-video-camera/20067/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20111006190152/http://www.gizmag.com/ecogizmo/" style="float: left; ">ECOGIZMO</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111006190152/http://www.gizmag.com/blackfriars-solar-railway-bridge/20057/">Work starts on world's largest solar bridge at Blackfriars</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111006190152/http://www.gizmag.com/author/paul-ridden/">Paul Ridden</a></p> <p><em>13:16 October 5, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="/web/20111006190152im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111006190152/http://www.gizmag.com/blackfriars-solar-railway-bridge/20057/#comments">5 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="/web/20111006190152im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111006190152/http://www.gizmag.com/blackfriars-solar-railway-bridge/20057/picture/144034/">4 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111006190152/http://www.gizmag.com/blackfriars-solar-railway-bridge/20057/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111006190152im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/blackfriarssolar.jpg" title="The new Blackfriars railway station, being built on the foundations of a Victorian bridge ..." alt="The new Blackfriars railway station, being built on the foundations of a Victorian bridge ..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Blackfriars Bridge, a Victorian rail bridge in the heart of London, is now well on its way to becoming the biggest solar array in the city and the world's largest solar bridge.

The iPhone 4S retains the ground-breaking Retina display technology and glass back of its predecessor, but has undergone something of an internal overhaul. Apple's new smartphone gets a brand new dual-core processor, an 8 megapixel camera capable of also shooting full high definition video, and a new personal assistant application that uses voice recognition. The 4S also promises up to double the previous download speeds and will be available on over 100 carriers worldwide. <a href="/web/20111006190152/http://www.gizmag.com/apple-launches-iphone-4s/20046/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20111006190152/http://www.gizmag.com/mobiletechnology/" style="float: left; ">MOBILE TECHNOLOGY</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111006190152/http://www.gizmag.com/levitatr-bluetooth-keyboard/20038/">Levitatr Bluetooth keyboard aims to bring typing to a new level</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111006190152/http://www.gizmag.com/author/paul-ridden/">Paul Ridden</a></p> <p><em>05:16 October 4, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p></p> <p><img src="/web/20111006190152im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111006190152/http://www.gizmag.com/levitatr-bluetooth-keyboard/20038/picture/143890/">13 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111006190152/http://www.gizmag.com/levitatr-bluetooth-keyboard/20038/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111006190152im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/levitatr.JPG" title="The Levitatr Bluetooth keyboard features LED-illuminated chiclet keys that rise up from th..." alt="The Levitatr Bluetooth keyboard features LED-illuminated chiclet keys that rise up from th..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>If there's one issue with the gorgeous <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111006190152/http://www.gizmag.com/cool-leaf-keyboard-release-date/18503/" target="_blank">COOL LEAF</a> keyboard from Minebea, it's the less-than-satisfying feel of the touch panel keying action.
