Nikon is making its high-end DSLRs much better at video
Nikon’s best DSLRs will soon let you easily record sharper video, making them much more useful for videographers. The Japanese company says its D4s, D810 and D750 full-frame DSLRs will get “greater support for recording high-definition, uncompressed data” to external recorders via the HDMI port. In addition, you’ll be able to send start/stop commands to supported video recorders and edit video more efficiently, presumably via the addition of timecode or other metadata. There’s no word on exact video specifications or whether RAW output would be supported, but the company promised to reveal more at NAB tomorrow (the firmware is due this summer). Considering that Nikon was the first to put video on a DSLR, we’re glad it’s not treating it like the ugly stepchild anymore.

HTC’s Sense 7 to land on HTC One M8 in next update
Owners of the HTC One M8 have started to receive their Android Lollipop update, but they have noticed that they do not get HTC’s latest interface, Sense 7. That missing piece is surely a disappointment to some, but leaving it out of the current update probably helped get Lollipop onto the One M8 a little bit faster. HTC vice president Mo Versi has now confirmed that the One M8 will get Sense 7, but it will not be until the next major upgrade is released.
Versi has not provided any information regarding a time frame for the next update to be released. His comments came in response to a question about the update rolling out to AT&T devices that started earlier this week. He has also announced that the One M8 GPE has been approved to receive an update to Android 5.1. The current version of Lollipop rolling out to AT&T One M8 devices is 5.0.2, so the next update will probably take those devices up to 5.1 and include Sense 7. Since all the pieces are in place, the process should go fairly quickly – at least as quickly as carrier certifications go.
@MohammadAsad528 no, this won’t but our next update will include it. Thanks.

BandSwapper Will Allow Apple Watch Sport Band Owners to Trade Out Duplicate Bands [Updated] [iOS Blog]
As the Apple Watch pre-orders continue to build this morning, it’s worth noting a few third-party websites who plan to provide services to early adopters of Apple’s new wearable device. One of those sites is BandSwapper, which will let users swap out their unused Apple Watch Sport Band for another size and color.
As was discovered closely following Apple’s big “Spring Forward” event last month, every model of the Apple Watch that ships with a Sport Band – meaning both aluminum and stainless steel – comes in two sizes for both the 38mm and 42mm casing sizes. The smaller 38mm case covers 130-200mm wrists in both S/M and M/L bands, while the larger 42mm option ranges between 140-210mm wrists in S/M and M/L bands.
BandSwapper plans to fix the extraneous multi-band option by allowing Sport Band users to swap the band they won’t use, for a completely different size and color band that they will. As the website claims on its currently sparse homepage, “It takes 5 minutes and costs only $6.”
Here’s How it Works:
1. Tell us which band you have and which one you want.
2. Send us your unused band with one of our pre-paid shipping labels.
3. We’ll send you back a band in the size and color you want.
Currently, the most users can do to prepare for band swapping is provide the website an email address to remind them when the BandSwapper storefront will be live, which will coincide with the Apple Watch’s official launch on April 24.
As expected, a lot of Apple Watch-related news continues to circulate today as pre-order estimates begin slipping rapidly and more news on the Watch’s warranty surfaces.
Update: As several readers have pointed out, customers do not actually receive two complete sport bands, instead receiving three band pieces that together allow for two different band sizes. As a result, BandSwapper’s service will not allow users to trade for a complete band.
