- Nokia’s N950 splayed by FCC, 12-megapixel camera lurking within
Our friends over at the FCC have somehow both scored and already torn asunder Nokia’s new flagship MeeGo development phone. Slicing and dicing Espoo’s latest confirms the watered-down N9 specs we’d previously heard about, except for one: a 12-megapixel camera. An intriguing addition, as the N950’s official specs list an 8-megapixel shooter, which the Finnish firm touted as “different” than the unit in its brother. Perhaps different means the additional 4-megapixels we spotted earlier this year? Sure, last minute component changes aren’t unheard of, but if you ever manage to convince the Finns to throw one your way, do us a favor and let us know what it’s packing. Ok?

- Cowon C2 portable media player review
And here you were assuming the tried-and-true PMP was dead. Au contraire. Cowon’s not giving up on its dream quite yet, but after the D2 hung around at the company’s low-end for the better part of four years, it’s an alphabetic step backwards that’s taking over as the successor. The diminutive C2 is about as simple as a PMP gets — design wise, anyway — but it’s actually capable of supporting both music and video on its 2.6-inch resistive touchpanel. And then there’s the purported 55 hours of battery life, included microSD card for expansion and the company’s world-class audio quality. Still, $135 goes a long (long!) way in the portable music industry these days — does the C2 pack enough punch to make your short list? Head on past the break to find out.

- DARPA’s XC2V FLYPMode crowd-sourced combat vehicle revealed, now in desert khaki (video)
Okay, so perhaps the specific color here is up for debate, but one thing is clear: the XC2V FLYPMode is one imposing looking vehicle. Also known as the Experimental Crowd-derived Combat Support Vehicle, DARPA has billed this mean machine as the “first crowd-sourced, militarily relevant vehicle design.” After being selected as the winning entry to DARPA’s design-the-next-Humvee competition, Local Motors tricked out the XC2V FLYPMode in just 14 weeks. For now, it is but a “proof of principle project,” meaning we probably won’t see this thing riding dirty in the desert anytime soon, if ever. You can, however, see at least a portion of the beast’s birth in a time-lapse video after the break.
