The Nikon NF-300i is a 7.2-inch digital photo frame that runs on the Android operating system. The big buzz about the NF-300i is the autostereoscopic screen, which allows you to view 3D images without the need for 3D glasses.
The NF-300i displays are available to my Picturetown 3D members who pony up about 20k yen per year (about $250 USD). And right now, they are only available in Japan.
While Apple clearly has a big thing going for its iPhone and photographers tend to love the phone, plenty of photographers have Android-based phones as well. Clay Cuckoo Software just launched an Aperture Clock Widget that Android-toting photographers are bound to love.
The Aperture Clock Widget shows aperture values (f/2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11) on the clock face instead of hours. Additionally, as the time changes the aperture blades on the clock face will open and close accordingly.

I sat down to watch the Chase Jarvis and Zack Arias live interview session late one night last week. While I watched a recorded version of it, they were taking Twitter questions during the live stream. One question asked Chase whether The Best Camera app would be coming to Android. I don’t recall his exact words, but Chase’s response made it clear that The Best Camera is in the works for Android. No details of availability dates were spilled, and really, the comments about the app were just for a few seconds, but it appears to be on the way nonetheless.
I’m not sure where the video was at when Chase discussed this (it’s probably in the last 45 minutes or so), but feel free to add the time stamp in the comments if you catch it.
