Rumor Round Up: Photo Revolution! Hulu for Sale! Nokia's Back? And More iPhone 5 Rumors(!)

Friday, June 24th, 2011 – running time 11:51
We've got tech rumors! Like there's ever a lack of tech rumors to report on, right? This week: Did a startup called Lytro just revolutionize photography with something called a Light Field Camera? Why did Nokia launch the sexy new N9 if it's built on a "burning platform?" And what's Sea Ray, anyway? Hulu's for sale, but is anyone buying? Google TV 2.0 is in some developers' hands - are they liking it? And like that kid who won't stop talking during math class (but you miss him when he's absent) iPhone rumors are baaaack!

Lytro: Stealthy Startup Shoots First, Focuses Later

First up is news out of Silicon Valley about a start-up that came out of stealth mode this week. Lytro made a splash unveiling their Light Field Camera, which uses new technology to take what the company calls "living photographs." These digital images capture all available light in the field, which results in a file that you can focus and refocus on any point you like. Can Lytro live up to its "Shoot now, focus later" slogan?

Nokia launches N9 and teases Windows Phone 7

Earlier this week Nokia launched the N9, a sleek, sexy smartphone running MeeGo, the Linux-based operating system that the company all but left for dead when they partnered with Microsoft to support Windows Phone 7. Then Nokia CEO Stephon Elop "leaked" an N9 lookalike device to a small audience, knowing full well there are camera-toting reporters in the room. Turns out this new device, codenamed "Sea Ray," was running WP7. What in the world is Elop, a former Microsoft executive, up to?
