Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3 Digital Camera Review
Panasonic went ahead and added Full HD 1080p recording capability to its new Lumix G3, which is one of the few features on the new camera that represents a huge improvement over last year’s Lumix G2. The manual controls in video mode are still limited, though, and the camera suffered from a serious rolling shutter problem.

Refresh Roundup: week of October 24, 2011
Official Android updates
- Guess which phone's finally getting Gingerbread: the HTC Thunderbolt. Yes, we're being serious. [Thanks to everyone who sent this in, and thanks Eddie for the image!]
- Gingerbread is now rolling out to the Motorola Droid Pro and Droid 2 Global. [PhoneScoop]
- The HTC EVO Design 4G wasn't out for very long before it was ready for a maintenance release. It's called version 1.19.651.0, and no change log was found right away.
- More HTC stuff: the EVO 3D also offers a small bug fix in the form of a security update under the name of version 2.08.651.3. [AndroidCentral]
- The LG Revolution on Verizon's also officially gaining Android 2.3. [Pocketnow]
- In the UK, HTC Desire S owners are now finding themselves beneficiaries of the Android 2.3.5 firmware update as well as Sense 3.0. [AndroidCentral]
- How about a couple for the little guys? CSpire, formerly known as Cellular South, is pushing Gingerbread to its Samsung Galaxy S and Motorola Milestone X. [AndroidCentral(1) and (2)]
- Sony Ericsson announced this week that Android 2.3.4 is rolling out to the 2011 Xperia lineup around the world. Additional enhancements include 16x video zoom, WiFi DLNA, screen capture capability, ability to attach USB peripherals to Sony Ericsson LiveDock and more.
- The Samsung Stratosphere on Verizon has been successfully rooted. [AndroidCommunity]
- HTC devices receiving the official Gingerbread kernel source from HTCDev this week: The Evo Shift 4G, the Thunderbolt and Droid Incredible. [AndroidCentral]
- When it rains, it pours -- the Thunderbolt, on top of receiving Gingerbread and its accompanying kernel source, has also found itself on the receiving end of an Ice Cream Sandwich SDK port. As can be expected, it's still in prealpha stages and has a few bugs to work out. [AndroidCommunity]
- If you're a CM7 user, there's now a file available that will turn your lock screen into one that resembles Ice Cream Sandwich's style. [Droid-Life]
- Microsoft's pushing a firmware upgrade to the LG Optimus 7 Windows Phone which seems to grace the device with WiFi tethering and the ability to locate hidden WiFi networks. [WMPowerUser]
- It's not a BlackBerry firmware update, but many people still have a soft spot for BBM and will be interested to know that RIM is putting out version 6.0.1 with a few enhancements. Head to the source to check it out. [MobileTechReview]
- Windows Phone Mango now being delivered to 100 percent of compatible devices
- Windows Phone Apollo coming 'middle of next year,' says Nokia VP

Kodak PlaySport Zx5 Camcorder Review
The Kodak Zx5 is a second-generation version of the company’s popular (and waterproof!) PlaySport camcorder. Instead of beefing up performance or features on the new model, Kodak decided to keep things simple and make small improvements?like cleaning up the menu system and adding a simplified “sharing” feature that makes it easier to upload your videos to YouTube.

Google+ Tip: How to change who can message you
Google+ is great for so many things, but one thing that can become annoying is if anyone who circles you has the option to send you a message. That is, unless you change your preferences. So, let's take a quick look at how you can limit those messages down from just anyone to your circles or extended circles.
- Launch the Google+ Android App
- Press menu then go to Settings
- Scroll to Who Can Message You
- Select from Anyone, Your Circles or Extended Circles
- Click the back button to save your settings
Just like this you are able to change your Google+ preferences so that not just anyone can message you, and only people that you have chosen to circle back can send you messages. While some will enjoy the ability to interact with just about everyone, not everyone wants that so luckily for us the option is available to monitor who can message you.
Oh, and you are following all your favorite Android Central team members on Google+, right?

Canon EOS Rebel T3 Digital Camera Review
The EOS Rebel T3 is a budget DSLR from Canon that offers a 720p HD video record mode. The camera certainly doesn’t have the same video features or performance as Canon’s more-expensive Rebel T3i, but the quality of its video mode wasn’t bad for a camera with a sub-$600 price tag (including kit lens).

Motorola Droid 4 surfaces ... wait, already?
It seems like just yesterday the Motorola Droid 3 was released, and now we already are seeing the Motorola Droid 4? Yikes -- released just three months ago, the Motorola Droid 3 brought a larger screen and better keyboard but was lacking LTE out. Looks like that will change with the Droid 4. In addition to the picture the folks at Droid-Life were able to get some specs on the device, and they are as follows:
- 4-inch screen (assuming Super AMOLED Advanced)
- Full 5-row illuminated keyboard
- RAZR styling
- 4G LTE
- Non-removable battery
- Android 2.3.5
- 1080p video recording (assuming 8MP)
- Front camera
- HDMI out
- MotoACTV syncing
Non-removable battery, eh? Basically, think Droid RAZR with a keyboard. No word on release date, but it wouldn't surprise us in the least to see Verizon slip this one into its lineup sooner rather than later, especially since it apparently is lurking around a store or two.
