If you like to shoot video, the Canon EOS T2i is a great pick; I especially like its 24fps mode, and ability to easily mount shotgun mics.

Early reviews on Nexus have ranged from glowing ("one of the best smartphones ever made" - The Verge) to the skeptical ("As impressive as it is, Ice Cream Sandwich can be messy, and without it, the Galaxy Nexus is just another Android device." - CNET).

I was leaning towards Nexus for two reasons: (1) it ships with ICS, and (2) it has softkeys. Now I'm not so sure, and am re-considering the RAZR. I am partial to Motorola. Buying American is always a bonus too.

I especially love that rear--apologies to Mila. The tail lights have been narrowed, and there's a sculpted aura. Trademark slats are on point and a historic aesthetic that must never be abandoned.

To sweeten the deal, Google announced exclusives from 6 artists: Rolling Stones, Cold Play, Busta Rhymes, Shakira, Pearl Jam, Dave Mathews Band.

A comparison and review of the Rode Videomic and Videmic Pro. If you're a fan of DSLR, and looking to improve sound quality, add these shotgun mics to your short list.
