Top 5 Camera Phones..!

Cramming a Camera into a Phone is perhaps one of the most revolutionary idea in the world of gadgets as it redefined our notion of how and why we take pictures. Gone are the days when we used our cameras only to take pictures at a wedding, birthday or any memorable occasion. And now we use the camera within our phone everyday to capture almost everything that comes down the way. The DSLR cameras or even the compact digital cameras are too bulky to be carried with if compared to the camera phones. We have previously listed the top music phones, top touchscreen phones, top 3G mobile phones, top business mobile phones, top luxurious phones and here is the list of the top 10 camera phones available in the market. Have a go.

Sony Ericsson Motion Activated Headphones MH907

Sony Ericsson today unveils the world’s first ever motion activated headphones that sense the user. The clever MH907 headphones mean users simply plug in two earphones to start listening to music and pause by removing one earbud. To start listening again simply plug it back in. Do exactly the same to answer and end calls – simple as 1,2,3!
Sony Ericsson’s SensMe™ Control technology responds without a single press of a button, and with a Clear Audio experience users encounter superior sound on the move and enjoy their favourite music as it’s meant to be heard.
Sony Ericsson has created a humorous quirky film to demonstrate the product’s unique technology. Partnering with internationally renowned animator Kristofer Ström, the short film debuting today shows a cartoon character riding the bus and switching effortlessly between phone calls and listening to his favourite music. To see the film visit: www.sonyericsson.com/putyourearsincontrol

“With the MH907 consumers can pocket their phone but still stay connected all day, every day by simply plugging in or removing their earbuds – there is no need for a remote control or any buttons.” said Jacob Sten, Senior Vice President, SEMC Accessories. “At Sony Ericsson we think it is very important to listen to what our customer needs and introducing the world’s first ever motion activated headphones highlights our commitment to offer our customers a complete Communications Entertainment experience.

Review: Sony Ericsson S312 mobile phone- A true Gadget

With a cheap phone, people often assume that it is probably put together with Blu-tack and sticky tape. Sony Ericsson has other ideas with a full-featured champagne phone for lemonade money.

The S312 comes with not a lot of accessories. In fact, the small box only contains the handset, a battery, a charger and the manual. It is a quite attractive device and feels light enough, measuring 100 by 46 by 12.5mm. It weighs 80.1g so light in the trouser department. The phone's battery gives eight hours talk time and 400 hours on standby.

The 2-inch display has a resolution of 176 by 220 pixels. It is quite shiny, in fact shiny enough to use as a mirror should you so wish. Underneath the keypad looks like not a a millimetre has been wasted. The navigational key is rather nifty and the call control and quick launch buttons are easy to use.

As usual on the side of the phone is the proprietary connector. Personally we can't wait for this to be phased out when USB becomes the norm. It really takes away from the look of the phone.

This quad-band phone also sports a 2-megapixel camera that can record video as well. This can be controlled by buttons on the right-hand side of the phone. There is also an LED flash.

Add to that a music player that can play a variety of formats including, MP3, AAC, eAAC+ and WMA, and you start to realise that this cheap phone packs a little more punch than you would expect. The music functions are a little bit more difficult to use than on specialist Walkman phones. You would have to go out and buy headphones as an extra. This would also be needed should you want to use the FM radio. IT also sports TrackID and can support up to 4GB using the M2 memory stick.

Overall, the S312 is a good, reliable phone with a lot more features than your normal budget phone and quite attractive as well.

Disease-Detecting Cell Phones- Scientist's Hack Analyzes Blood and Scans Cells

Dr. Aydogan Ozcan at UCLA has created a disease-detecting cell phone by hacking a Sony Ericsson w810i camera phone. Using a filtered light source, the hacked cell phone captures images of cells that are then analyzed on a desktop computer.
According to Wired, Ozcan’s technology allows the hacked cell phone to detect specific diseases like malaria or count CD4+T cells to monitor an HIV patient’s health.
Currently, Ozcan’s software for analyzing the images must be run on a desktop computer, but his plans include loading the software into a hand-held device that could provide both imaging and analysis on the spot. This could not only improve turn-around time for diagnosis at the doctor’s office, but could revolutionize diagnostic medicine in third-world countries where labs are as scarce as the money to equip them.

Sony prepares iPhone clock radio with 7-inch LCD

Sony is preparing an "ultimate" iPhone clock radio that would serve as a hub for several types of media at once, a slip confirmed today. Temporarily seen on a product page (cached), the ICF-CL75iP would have a 7-inch LCD that would not only show music info and the time but show photos from an iPhone or iPod. It would also support videos, though the Sony Insider tip is unclear as to whether these may be limited to AVI, MJPEG and MPEG-4 movies loaded to 1GB of local storage through a USB port.

The system would also show photos and play MP3/WMA music from the onboard flash. Users could wake up to (or fall asleep to) any of these audio sources plus the radio, preset ambient sounds or audio recordings up to 10 seconds long. Those tuning into radio could set as many as 39 favorites.

Ship dates aren't certain, but the listing had the system selling for $150.
