I have a 3y old 1.3GHz cpu with integrated graphics only on Gentoo, but it's so smooth, I can't believe it's not a video! How do they make it so smooth? When I click the last page button on the right side, it runs smoothly through all animations, same when happens when I scroll around. Can't wait to see someone make a blog post on: "This is how Sony exploited HTML5 to run Smooth Parallax Effects on their Page". I ran…

I can't comment on quality of the lens itself but they must be far better than that of a standard camera installed on mobile phones. These lenses can be used both attached/detached to the mobile phone. They use NFC (if your phone is into th…

Thanks for these details. I'm interested because I usually don't carry a bag, and care about mobility and availability. I also like the idea of taking picture without disturbing too much the (human) environment, e.g. without shooting too explicitely. However this lens seem to be too big to fit in a pocket.
