Spy shots of what could be the Nikon D700 have been floating around for a while now, but it’s only this day that we’ve gotten a full-on body shot of the DSLR. Rumored specs basically paint the unit as a D300 body with the D3’s FX sensor crammed inside, and there’s speculation that the lens pictured is an upgraded version of Nikon’s AF-S 24-120mm VR unit. We’re also hearing that it’ll be introduced in August and go on sale in December for $3300, but that’s all speculation until this thing actually hits.

Well, ISuppli estimates the new iPhone will be cheaper to manufacture then the first one (I knew that had to be it). The original iPhone had an estimated manufacturing cost of $265, but since component prices went down the new iPhone cost about $173 to make. Also, Apple will still get the $300 kickback from carriers (ATT in the US) that offer the iPhone. And if you figure in the cash they’re going to make on the new Application Store, its easy to see why this is going to be a large money maker.
ISuppli will do this again once the new iPhone ships, so it can report figures that include all the other costs associated with the iPhone (i.e. software dev, shipping, and packaging). Once that time comes, we will know to the penny how much money Apple stands to make.

We’ve been hearing about how Varioptic’s liquid camera lenses would revolutionize cellphones for a while now, so it’s a tiny bit surprising to see the oil-and-water optics pop up in Akkord Electronics’ el cheapo SnakeCam webcams first. The 1.3 megapixel S1300 and 2.0 megapixel S2000 cams feature a Varioptic Arctic 416 lens, as well as bendy mount, built-in microphone, and CMOS sensor, and will sell for just $20 per unit — but we’d envision that whoever ends up rebranding these will mark that up a bit.
