While they managed to get the app running on the phone, it couldn’t connect to Apple’s servers and had to resort to using alternatives such as Google or TellMe to get the job done. But now, those problems have been solved: some developers have managed to get the hacked version of Siri communicating with Apple’s servers, the way the original app was supposed to.</div>

Well the folks over at Mobile01 (a Chinese tech site) recently got their hands on some photographs of the camera and have shared them with the world. Judging by the photographs, the camera does look pretty sweet, giving off a retro vibe yet is chockfull with today’s technology i.e. fullHD video recording.</div>

The GX1 is the pro version of Panasonic’s GF line and is said to pack a 16-megapixel sensor, a new image processing engine, high ISO at 12800, a touchscreen display panel, an LVF2 external viewfinder with 1,440,000 dots and a Lumix GX 14-42mm kit lens. The camera has yet to be officially announced, so until then, you’ll just have to feast your eyes on these photographs. Hit the source link to check out the complete gallery.</div>

And if it’s a book by someone famous, it’s usually not a problem as his/her books will be snapped up from the shelves regardless. But most of the time it doesn’t work out so well. A new eBook publisher named Hyperink has decided to take advantage of technology available to circumvent this issue.</div>

The general consensus seem to be disappointment in the lack of the heavily redesigned, larger screened “iPhone 5″. However, if we were to take a page from Apple’s history – they did release the 3GS after the 3G, so I guess in hindsight, this announcement should have been expected. But it does leave us wondering – why was there a significant delay in today’s launch? Perhaps Apple was busy getting iOS 5 and iCloud ready.</div>
