8 megapixel CMOS in Samsung Mobile phones soon
Yes. That’s right. An 8 megapixel 28 x 15.3 x 8.5mm CMOS into a camera that will be available by the end of this year.
Now for some technical gyan:
The new camera phone module will be 10 percent smaller than present phone modules, and will feature low-light ISO 1600 sensitivity and F2.6 focal length, anti-shake function, face detection technology, and an automated shoot mode that is activated by silly, smiling faces (similar to the smile-shutter feature in some Sony Cyber-shots).
All said, some experts argue that mobile CMOS modules cannot match the quality of larger digital camera CMOS modules and CCDs; even if the chip were to deliver higher pixels, it would still get much lesser light than normal camera CMOS modules. Still others are of the view that Samsung’s camera lenses will not allow for better quality images than say Sony’s camera lenses despite the 8MP output size.

No ban on BlackBerry yet in India Phew!
I have been a Reliance user for the past few years and when I wanted to upgrade my handset, I opted for the BlackBerry.
I am exceedingly happy with the handset. Although it does look a bit plasticky, but the Push Inbox and the ease of internet access on the move is just extraordinary. (I mean on my way to the airport a few weeks ago, I did a web check-in as I was getting late reaching the airport thanks to traffic snarls).
Imagine my shock when I read in a news item that the Blackberry was going to be blacked out soon as the Indian Government perceived it as a security threat.
The government had asked Research in Motion (RIM) to provide them with access to algorithms required to decrypt BlackBerry messages latest by March 31st else face a total ban on the service in India.
The latest on that front is that BlackBerry service in the country will get a breather. Continue reading “No ban on BlackBerry yet in India Phew!”
