TurtleJacket Turns Your Samsung Galaxy Note into a DSLR (Sorta)

Earlier this Spring we told you about the TurtleJacket iPhone accessory from Turtleback, which turns the phone into a psuedo DSLR. Turtleback is now offering a similar accessory for the Samsung Galaxy Note Android phone/tablet hybrid. This version of the TurtleJacket is made of Aluminium and features a tripod mount, a pair of strap holders and a 37mm conversion lens mount. This is is a limited edition accessory which is priced at $247 and comes with a 37mm UV filter, 2.0 x 37mm High Definition Professional Telephoto lens, Turtleback W0.45 X 37mm High Definition Professional Wide lens and a X0.33 170° Mini FishEye Lens & Stepdown Ring for TurtleJacket.

Zoho Docs 2.0 adds iPad support

zoho docs ipad
Zoho has offered an iOS app for a while now -- at least for the iPhone and iPod touch. Those of you who have been wanting to use the Zoho app on your iPad were out of luck, but that's no longer the case.

Zoho Docs 2.0 has landed in the App Store, and the most notable change is that it's now a universal app. Now you're able to take advantage of the app's mobile productivity powers on your larger iOS device. Retina display support has also been added, as have document sharing options -- which you can utilize in both the viewer and collaboration modes.

Just like the basic Zoho service, the app is available totally free of charge. Paid subscriptions get you additional storage space and start at $3 per month for professional use.

Samsung SSD 840 Pro caters to speed seekers with faster random access

Samsung SSD 840 Pro caters to speed seekers with 100,000IOPS, faster writes

It's difficult to thrive in the solid-state drive world. Unless you've got just the right controller and flash memory, most performance-minded PC users will rarely give you a second glance. Samsung muscled its way into that narrow view with the SSD 830 last year; it intends to lock our attention with the new SSD 840 and SSD 840 Pro. The Pro's 520MB/s and 450MB/s sequential read and write speeds are only modest bumps over the 830, but they don't tell the whole story of just how fast it gets. The upgraded MDX controller boosts the random read access to a nicely rounded 100,000IOPS, and random writes have more than doubled to 78,000IOPS or 90,000IOPS, depending on who you ask and what drive you use. The improved performance in either direction is a useful boost to on-the-ground performance, as both AnandTech and Storage Review will tell you. We're waiting on details of the ordinary triple level cell-based 840 model beyond its 120GB, 250GB and 500GB capacities, although there won't be an enormous premium for the multi-level cell 840 Pro over existing drives when it arrives in mid-October -- the flagship line should start at $100 for a basic 64GB drive, and peak at $600 for the ultimate 512GB version.

Microsoft Scrambles to Head Off IE Exodus

The latest Internet Explorer zero-day vulnerability, which was discovered by researcher Eric Romang, is causing quite a flap in the security community. It has caused even more excitement at Microsoft. Although Redmond says few users have been affected, it has responded relatively swiftly to the problem, issuing a temporary patch for the flaw, and promising to roll out an automatic update on Friday. A war has been raging between browser vendors for some time, resulting in vendors pulling out all the stops to win.

Engadget visits Nokia House, walks down memory lane (video)

Engadget visits Nokia House, walks down memory lane

It's not the first time Engadget editors have stepped foot at Nokia House -- the company's HQ in Espoo, Finland -- but it's always a treat, and our visit this week is no exception. Today we took a walk down memory lane, and spent some time with several Nokia handsets -- from one of the very first mobile phones to the Lumia 920. We played with some of the more iconic models and designs, such as the 1011 (first GSM handset), 1610, 7700 / 7710 (S90), 7280 (lipstick phone), 770 / N800 tablets, N-Gage / QD, 3300, 8800, 8110 (from the Matrix movie), N93 / N93i, N91, N92, N76, N95 and finally the 7650 (the first handset running Symbian). In addition, we also got to handle some of the Lumia 820 and 920 accessories, including the Fatboy wireless charging pillow and JBL-branded Power Up speakers. Check out the gallery below then hit the break for our hands-on video. Oh, and don't forget to tune in tomorrow for our live Q&A with Nokia's CEO Stephen Elop.

Update: That music-centric handset which uses an IBM Microdrive is the N91 (not N90) and was announced in 2005 (not 1995), and that flip-phone is the N76 (not the N75) -- sorry for the slip in the video.

Developers in India can now register to sell paid apps in Google Play

Android Central

The Google Play Developers portal has received a welcome update, confirming now that developers in India can register to sell paid apps in Google Play. This is potentially huge news for two different reasons. India is one of the most populated nations on the planet, and the smartphone market in India is exploding at a tremendous rate. 

Developers having the facility to be paid for their work is a big deal too. Famously, the lack of paid app support in the UAE became the reason that Carbon will eventually be given away for free. While this nation is still omitted, the addition of India to the list that now reaches 32 is a welcome one.
