When you think of Sky, you think of a dish (or at the very least a box). Not any more: UK broadcaster has created Sky Glass, a line of 4K TVs with all the hardware and software rolled into the telly itself. Oh, and you can pay for it with a contract like you do with your mobile phone.

The 4K Sky Glass TVs connect directly to your internet to stream Sky TV into British living rooms, directed by a voice-controlled Sky remote control. You don’t even need a Sky Q set-top box.

Sky Glass goes on sale Oct. 18, and you can pre-register now.

Sky Glass come in three sizes: 43-inch, 55-inch, and 65-inch. While you’re at it, choose from white, pink, green, blue or good old-fashioned black.

Like a mobile phone, you have the choice of paying a lump sum up front or spreading the cost over your Sky contract for 24 or 48 months. Remember to factor in which Sky packages you want on top, however, such as Sky Ultimate TV (a basic package that also includes Netflix), Sky Sports for football and Sky Cinema for the latest movies.

Here’s how much the Sky Glass models cost:

• The 43-inch model is £649 upfront, £26 a month over two years, or £13 each month over four years.
• The 55-inch model is £849 upfront, £34 a month over two years, or £17 each month over four years.
• The 65-inch model is £1,049 upfront, £42 a month over two years, or £21 each month over four years.

As well as Sky’s own channels and services, the TV includes the BBC iPlayer, Netflix, Disney Plus, Spotify and Peloton apps. It boasts Ultra HD Quantum Dot screen plus Dolby Atmos sound with built-in speakers and sub-woofer.

Sky also revealed a small Sky Stream puck-shaped device for streaming TV to other tellies around your house. It costs £50 followed by £10 a month on top of your bill.

The camera in your pocket is pretty amazing. Today’s smartphone cameras feel like they’re a million miles away from earlier photography tech, but digital cameras had to start somewhere.

Back in the 20th century when cameras needed film, digital camera technology began as a sat-nav for astronauts. Since then, Kodak, Apple and many others have played important roles in developing today’s pocket-sized marvels. Let’s dive into digital camera history to mark the milestone devices and the groundbreaking tech.

The beginnings

The history of the digital camera started in 1961 with Eugene F. Lally of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. When he wasn’t working on artificial gravity, he was thinking about how astronauts could figure out their position in space by using a mosaic photosensor to take pictures of the planets and stars.

Lally actually figured out how to solve red eye in photos, but unfortunately his theory of digital photography was still way ahead of the existing technology. It was the same story 10 years later when Texas Instruments employee Willis Adcock came up with a proposal for a filmless camera (US patent 4,057,830). It wasn’t until 15 years later that the digital camera became a reality.

The first digital camera

The first actual digital still camera was developed by Eastman Kodak engineer Steven Sasson in 1975. He built a prototype (US patent 4,131,919) from a movie camera lens, a handful of Motorola parts, 16 batteries and some newly invented Fairchild CCD electronic sensors.

The resulting camera, pictured in 2007 on its first trip to Europe, was the size of a printer and weighed nearly 4 kilograms. It captured black-and-white images on a digital cassette tape, and Sasson and his colleagues also had to invent a special screen just to look at them.

Today’s Apple iPhone 12 lineup has 12-megapixel cameras. That’s 12 million pixels in an image. Kodak’s prototype had a resolution of 0.01 megapixel. It also took 23 seconds to snap the first digital photograph. Talk about shutter lag!

Some say Kodak missed a trick by not developing this technological breakthrough, as it chose to continue to focus on photographic film. So the next step in the process would come from elsewhere.

The end of film?

The charged-couple device (CCD), invented in 1969, was the breakthrough that allowed digital photography to take off. A CCD is a light sensor that sits behind the lens and captures the image, essentially taking the place of the film in the camera. The first cameras to use CCD sensors were specialist industry models made by Fairchild in the 1970s. 

By the 1980s, handheld cameras began to ditch film. This began in 1981 when Sony demonstrated a prototype Mavica (Magnetic Video Camera) model. However, it wasn’t strictly a digital camera. Technically, the Mavica was a television camera that took still frames. These analog electronic cameras were precursors to digital snappers in that they recorded images on to electronic media, but they were still technically recording analog data.

Running off AA batteries, the Mavica stored pictures on two-inch floppy disks called Mavipaks holding up to 50 color photos for playback on a television or monitor. CCD size was 570×490 pixels on a 10x12mm chip. The light sensitivity of the sensor was ISO 200, and the shutter speed was fixed at 1/60 second.

Canon launched the first analog electronic camera to actually go on sale, the RC-701, in 1986. That pro model was followed by a consumer model, the RC-250 Xapshot, in 1988. The Xapshot was called Ion in Europe or Q-Pic in Japan. It cost $499 in the US, but consumers had to haul out another $999 on a battery, computer interface card with software, and floppy disks.

These kinds of cameras never really took off, however, due to poor image quality and prohibitive cost. Their ability to transmit images meant they were mainly used by newspapers to cover events such as the 1984 Olympics, the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 and the Gulf War in 1991. 

The coming of true digital

The first true digital camera that actually worked was built in 1981. The University of Calgary Canada ASI Science Team built the Fairchild All-Sky camera to photograph auroras in the sky.

The All-Sky Camera used more of those 100×100-pixel Fairchild CCDs, which had been around since 1973. What made the All-Sky Camera truly digital was that it recorded digital data rather than analog. Meanwhile, in October 1981 the digital revolution rolled on with the release of the world’s first consumer compact disc player, the Sony CDP-101.

Colani’s concepts: Almost the future of cameras

In 1983, Canon commissioned Luigi Colani to envision the future of camera design. The outspoken designer believed that an egg is the highest form of packaging and employed his “no straight lines in the universe” philosophy to create these innovative concepts: the Hy-Pro, an SLR design with an LCD viewfinder; a novice camera named (rather tactlessly) the Lady; the Super C Bio with power zoom and built-in flash; and the underwater Frog.

He also designed the HOMIC, or the Horizontal Memorychip Integral storobo Camera. This was a spaceship-esque concept for a still video camera recording to solid-state memory. Unusually, the lens and viewfinder were on the same axis, while the flash fired through the objective lens. The HOMIC was exhibited at 1984’s Photokina exhibition but never went on sale.

Digital hits the shops

The first genuinely handheld digital camera should have been the Fuji DS-1P in 1988. It recorded images as computerized files on a 16MB SRAM internal memory card jointly developed with Toshiba, but the DS-1P never actually made it to shops.

The first digital camera to actually go on sale in the US was the 1990 Dycam Model 1. Also marketed as the Logitech Fotoman, this camera used a CCD image sensor, stored pictures digitally and connected directly to a PC for download — in other words, just like the cameras we later became familiar with. 

Digital develops

JPEG and MPEG standards were created for digital image and audio files in 1988. Digital Darkroom became the first image-manipulation program for the Macintosh computer in 1988, and Adobe PhotoShop 1.0 arrived in 1990.

Mosaic, the first web browser that let people view photographs over the web, was released by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications in 1992. That year also saw the Kodak DCS 200 debut with a built-in hard drive. It was based on the Nikon N8008s and came in five combinations of black-and-white or color, with and without hard drive. Resolution was 1.54 million pixels, roughly four times the resolution of still-video cameras.

Apple gets in on the action: The QuickTake

You’d have to live under a rock to not know that Apple makes phones, but did you know it also had a crack at the digital camera market? The Apple QuickTake 100 launched in 1994 and was the first color digital camera you could buy for less than $1,000.

It packed a 640×480-pixel CCD and could stash up to eight 640×480 images in the internal memory. Despite the Apple logo, it was actually manufactured by Kodak. The follow-up QuickTake 200 was built by Fujifilm.

Connected cameras and CompactFlash

Epson launched the first “photo quality” desktop inkjet printer in 1994. Later that year, the Olympus Deltis VC-1100 became the first digital camera that could send photos. You had to plug it into a modem, but it could transmit photos down a phone line — even a cellphone. It took about six minutes to transmit an image. Image resolution was 768×576 pixels, the shutter speed could be set between 1/8 and 1/1000 second, and it included a color LCD viewfinder.

SmartMedia card and CompactFlash memory cards also arrived in 1994. The first camera to use CompactFlash was the Kodak DC-25 in 1996.

The shape of things to come

The familiar shape of modern compact digital cameras emerged when the Casio QV-10 added an LCD screen on the back in 1995. The screen measured 46mm (1.8 inches) from corner to corner.

The QV-10 also had a pivoting lens. Photos were captured by a 1/5-inch 460×280-pixel CCD and stored to a semiconductor memory, which held up to 96 color still images. Other now-familiar features included close-up macro shooting, auto exposure and a self timer. It cost $1,000.

In 1995, Logitech debuted the VideoMan, its first webcam that plugged into a personal computer.

The digital age!

By the mid-1990s the familiar digital camera shape was established that would last for the next decade or more. In 1995, the Ricoh RDC-1 was the first digital still camera to also shoot movie footage and sound. It had a 64mm (2.5-inch) color LCD screen, and the f/2.8 aperture had a 3x optical zoom. Those remained the baseline specs for compacts for years, but at least the price came down over time. In contrast, the original RDC-1 set you back a hefty $1,500.

The now-familiar compact shape continued to emerge with the Canon PowerShot 600 in 1996. It had a 1/3-inch, 832×608-pixel CCD, built-in flash, auto white balance and an optical viewfinder as well as an LCD display. It was the first consumer model that could write images to a hard disk drive and could store up to 176MB. That cost $949.

Although compacts were sometimes released in weird and wonderful shapes — such as the Pentax EI-C90, which split into two sections — the basic form factor remained. By the 2010s, a compact camera was roughly the same size as the tape cassette that Steve Sasson’s 1970s prototype needed just to save a single grainy image.

Professional-style SLR cameras also made the transition to digital. The DSLR cameras could swap lenses with their film ancestors, while enjoying the benefits of high-capacity digital memory and a handy screen on the back. The traditional DSLR design, saddled with film-era mechanical complexity, is now slowly being replaced by mirrorless cameras from Sony, Canon, Nikon and the smaller Micro Four Thirds alliance from Olympus and Panasonic.

The camera phone

The big digital revolution was, of course, the camera phone. The Kyocera Visual Phone VP-210 in 1999 and Samsung SCH-V200 in 2000 were the first camera phones. A few months later the Sharp Electronics J-SH04 J-Phone was the first that didn’t have to be plugged into a computer. It could just send photos, making it hugely popular in Japan and Korea. By 2003, camera phone sales overtook digital cameras.

In 2007, Apple launched the iPhone, and the smartphone age truly began. The cameras built into phones quickly improved, but a number of factors combined to transform everyone into a photographer: Phone memories got bigger so you could take more pictures; CCD sensors were replaced by CMOS chips that use less power; 3G, 4G and 5G made it possible to share your photos instantly; and photography sites like Flickr soon gave way to social networks like Facebook and Instagram as a place to share your shots.

In 2012, Nokia made a 41-megapixel smartphone, the Nokia 808 PureView. Feature films have been shot on iPhones, and lightweight consumer drones have taken digital photography to the skies. Today’s best camera phones routinely come with two, three or four cameras to capture even better images. Smartphones’ computer power also unleashed computational photography, processing technology that vaults over the limits of lenses and image sensors. And the latest buzzword is “pixel binning,” used in regard to the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G for its huge 108-megapixel cameras. 

Fortunately, we can expect the advancements to keep coming, and the day will come when today’s camera phones look like relics too.

As US election results continue to roll in, one measure that has passed is California’s controversial and bitterly fought Proposition 22. The proposition allows companies such as Uber, Lyft and Instacart to avoid providing benefits, health insurance or minimum wage to the people who work for them.

Proposition 22 won approval with 58% of the ballots favoring it, according to the California Secretary of State’s Office. The ballot measure exempts gig economy companies from treating drivers and workers as employees. Although workers are granted some benefits by the measure, they’ll continue to be considered as independent contractors.

The outcome in the home state of Silicon Valley, where tech companies spent hundreds of millions of dollars to persuade voters, is likely to have national and even global implications as countries and cities around the world wrestle with the employment status of gig economy workers.

Samsung unpacked pop stars BTS for a cameo appearance at Wednesday’s Galaxy Note 20 launch. Ahead of their forthcoming new single Dynamite this month, the Korean pop superstars played around with the new folding Galaxy Z Fold 2. 

The hugely popular band will no doubt influence its army of fans to consider Samsung devices through the endorsement deal, even if the actual appearance at the online Samsung Unpacked
 event was disappointingly short. Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook briefly popped up in a prerecorded video, where they snapped some selfies and enjoyed the Z Fold 2’s “mystic bronze” color. 

Samsung also unveiled the Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, Galaxy Tab S7 and S7 Plus, Galaxy Watch 3 and Galaxy Buds Live earbuds with active noise canceling and shared listening.

CNET UK Podcast 545: iPhone charging woes, Facebook’s…

29:05

Is it too much to ask that when you plug in your iPhone to charge, it charges? Apparently so. But a fix is on the way for a charging bug in Apple’s new iPhone XS.

CNET’s Katie Collins and Richard Trenholm concentrate their very hardest to learn about a new font specially formulated to help you remember the things you read. The twisty typeface Sans Forgetica uses a technique called “desirable difficulty”. Or we think that’s what it’s called. To be honest, it all went in one ear and out the other. 

Plus Katie takes us on a trip inside Facebook’s brains: a new server centre. At the Facebook centre in Ireland, you can physically see the world’s Facebook activity happening. And while you spend your time liking things on the social network, employees have developed a liking for bees.

We also take a look at two new movies hitting theatres soon. First up, there’s the very smart new space race drama First Man. We got to hang out with star Ryan Gosling and director Damien Chazelle to find out more. And out this week is Venom, which is, well, not so smart. Find out how star Tom Hardy channeled Woody Allen, of all people, in this silly but fun supervillain caper.

Twitter, Facebook and Google are in a showdown with politicians. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg were the latest tech titans to face questioning. 

Katie Collins and Richard Trenholm weigh up Dorsey’s performance this week as he tackled questions about alleged bias in Washington. 

Silicon Valley’s trouble is mirrored as young people desert Facebook in droves. Meanwhile Netflix, Amazon and other video streaming services are about to face new regulations in Europe to make sure they show a certain amount of homegrown TV and movies.

In other news, we return from the IFA trade show in Germany with highlights of the tech coming your way this year and next. Among the most interesting are a surprising stand-out from BlackBerry, a Huawei AI Cube that is very much not a cube, and a huge boost for Amazon’s Alexa voice-activated personal assistant, which is now chatting away on tens of thousands of smart home devices.

The whole point of cryptocurrency is that it’s virtual money stored in the ether. But you can still carry bitcoins in your pocket, as long as you have a Sirin Finney.

The Sirin Finney joins a selection of new phones dedicated to accessing the blockchain while you’re away from your PC. And it does so in safety with a nifty little hardware trick.

Named after the late Hal Finney, the first person to receive a bitcoin transaction, the Finney is a crypto-focused device from Israeli company Sirin. Sirin launched with the outrageously decadent $16,000 Solarin phone in 2016, but the Finney will cost $1,000 (which converts to roughly £750 or AU$1,780).

We got our hands on a prototype ahead of the official launch coming soon. Although the device didn’t run any software, we did get to see its hardware gimmick: a pop-up screen hidden inside the phone.

Sirin Finney blockchain phone secures your bitcoin

1:31

The pop-up screen is the physical manifestation of the phone’s multiple layers of security. You start by using the Finney as a normal Android phone. When you want to access your cryptocurrency you switch to a secure encrypted section of the software. To approve a transaction, you slide out the second screen to launch a “cold wallet” that’s kept separate from the rest of the phone. The cold wallet accessed through the small screen is closed off from the rest of the phone by a firewall so in theory it can’t be hacked, ensuring that your currency and tokens are being sent to the correct party.

The phone runs on Sirin OS, a proprietary forked version of Android 8.1 Oreo. The software includes a multi-layer cybersecurity suite, a token conversion service (TCS) so you can seamlessly exchange cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin and ethereum, and access to a store for decentralized apps (DApps).

New to cryptocurrency?

The Finney is designed to make cryptocurrency easy to use for blockchain novices as well as experts. Look out for footballer Lionel Messi promoting the phone to the masses closer to launch. And you won’t have to sacrifice decent features to enjoy the security of the Finney. Where decadent devices from the likes of Vertu wrap expensive materials around distinctively average phones, the Finney is as high end as the $1,000 price tag suggests.

It’s encased in Gorilla Glass front and back, with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor and 6GB of RAM inside. There’s 128GB of memory built-in, with space for an SD card to add more room. The 6-inch screen even keeps up to date with the latest trends with an iPhone-style notch at the top.

The 12-megapixel main camera, which boasts f/1.8 aperture, is neatly framed by a shield-shaped metallic surround. As well as looking nice, the raised surround also guides your finger to the fingerprint scanner when you need it and warns you if your finger strays too near when you don’t.

Set to be built by Foxconn and released in November, the Finney will be on sale in Sirin stores in Tokyo, London and the US. You’ll buy it with cryptocurrency. But if you’re new to crypto, they’ll help you get ahold of virtual money to make the purchase. When enough have been sold, Sirin is also planning to build a peer-to-peer network among Finney phones.

Sirin said it expects to sell at least 100,000 Finneys, if not more. There’s certainly a lot of interest in blockchain phones: HTC is launching its HTC Exodus, while Sirin is hoping its open-source OS will appear on other manufacturers’ devices.

Sirin promises we’ll get our hands on a working model soon. Keep checking with CNET to see if the first blockchain phones put their money where their mouth is.

Instagram users across the globe were reporting that the photo-sharing site was down Thursday.

Website checker Down For Everyone Or Just Me? says the ‘Gram should be functioning. But just before 6 a.m. PT, Instagram’s website was showing a server error and the mobile app wouldn’t refresh. So users vented their frustration on Twitter, using the hashtag #instagramdown.

First published, May 10 at 5:56 a.m. PT.Update, 6:01 a.m. PT: It’s back! The outage appears to have lasted about 15 minutes.

Smartphones are cool and all, but sometimes you just want to answer a call by pressing a button and having your phone snap open. Sometimes you just want to pretend you’re in “The Matrix“.

Welcome back, then, the Nokia 8110 4G, a new, updated version of the classic 20-year-old phone.

Woah.

First launched in 1996, the original Nokia 8110 popularised the “slider” phone — and of course, in 1999, it appeared in the iconic Keanu Reeves sci-fi action movie “The Matrix”.

We got our first look at the rebooted classic alongside a deluge of new phones from Nokia and other manufacturers at annual phone fiesta MWC in Barcelona. This new model is the second revival of a classic Nokia phone, following last year’s upgraded Nokia 3310.

Like the original 8110, you can answer calls on the new 8110 4G by flicking open the case, and hang up by snapping it shut — which is, for anyone who wasn’t around in the ’90s, the most satisfying thing.

The classic model’s curved case also earned the nickname “banana phone”, which Nokia alludes to in the bright yellow colour of the new model. Or you can go for a black option if your tastes are less banana, more Keanu.

Speaking of colour, the original monochrome screen is upgraded to a 2.4-inch colour screen running the same visual interface as the new Nokia 3310. It’s not Android, but it does have an app store with a Facebook app available and more on the cards. You can import Gmail and Outlook contacts and check your email.

If the screen is too small for more involved tasks, you can also use the phone as a 4G wireless hotspot to tether your tablet or laptop.

For phone fans of a certain age this will always be the Matrix phone, but it’s probably more practical for those looking for a durable low-cost phone that doesn’t need to be charged every 5 minutes. So the emphasis is on battery life, going more than 20 days between charges or 8 hours of making calls.

Extras include an FM radio, 2-megapixel camera and the slippery game Snake.

The new 8110 4G will be available around May for around 79 euros, which works out to about $100, £70 or AU$125, though final pricing for the UK and Australia is yet to be announced. Nokia has no plans for releases in the US or Australia.
