Stuffing a full frame sensor in a compact digital camera, Sony is not really targeting its mass users with its new RX1 camera. The camera has the same full frame 24 MP sensor seen in the A99 and the NEX VG900 announced today, but comes with a 35mm Zeiss f/2.0 fixed prime lens. 

The camera is missing a viewfinder but has an impressive 3-inch 1,229k dot LCD, featuring VGA resolution with RGB plus white coloring. For those who simply cannot do without a viewfinder a XGA OLED viewfinder ($600)can be added for the extra buck. 

Sony alongside the new NEX VG30 and VG900 has announced a full frame image camera, dubbed The Alpha A99, a flagship priced at $2,800 or about Rs 1.5 lac. The company is targeting both professional photographers and leading filmmakers, with plenty of features that will appeal to both.

The buggy build of ICS on the Touchpad we saw earlier has been let out to public. Among the things that currently don’t work are Market access, hardware accelerated video and the camera. The project is developing fast so fixes should be expected really soon.

The source code for the release has also been outed so if you want to play around with your own version of the build you can do that quite easily. Triple boot of webOS / CM7 / CM9 is possible but the developers are currently recommending against it.
