Ahh, another week, another video leak. This time around the BlackBerry Z30 (Codenamed Aristo or A10) has been captured in all its glory by Channel Son YouTube. The video shows the AT&T variant of the device and its OS. The Z30 is a 5-inch flagship slated for a Fall release.
Twitter's six-second-video creation and sharing app Vine has finally made it to Android. With 13 million users in iOS, Vine has become a popular way to share quick videos online.

Acer knows how to start a sleepy Monday right. By teasing their mysterious new notebook juxtaposed with some trailer cutscenes of the upcoming Star Trek Into Darkness trailer. We know it is a Windows 8 notebook, looks to be clad in aluminum and it has a unique articulating screen which means it could be either a hybrid tablet/notebook or a convertible. So exciting! This notebook will be unveiled on May 3, so stay tuned.
Here's a basic test of the Z10's built-in 8 megapixel camera for photos and HD video. The camera app is generally easy to deploy and does take photos quickly. Since there is no physical button, users simply tap the screen to take a photo. While the camera is quick, there were instances where it did not focus properly or took the photo without focusing thus resulting in somewhat blurry photos even in well-lit conditions. HD video recording works as advertised and there seems to be some built-in stabilization as well. The photo editing app has various quick fixes as well as Instagram-like filters that can easily be applied to a photo and I'll test those in my full review.
