The New Nokia 808 - PureView packs a 41-megapixel camera

Nokia announced the 808 PureView, a smartphone with an astounding 41-megapixel image sensor. The Nokia 808 will be the first smartphone by Nokia to include its new PureView imaging technology, which combines a high-resolution sensor with Carl Zeiss optics and Nokia-developed algorithms.the megapixel count of the Nokia 808 PureView is the highest to date for any consumer class digital camera or smartphone, but how does it fare in real world performance?

The technology also works on video, so you can shoot a full HD video at 30fps and 4x zoom. Nokia has made some untouched images taken with the camera available online (as a sizable download) so you can get a feel for the quality.

Besides the camera and sound, the rest of the specs for the handset are actually on the low end of things. The Nokia Belle phone has a 4-inch screen with a 640 x 360 resolution, a 1.3Ghz single-core processor, and 512Mb of RAM. The handset comes with 16GB of storage space, but supports microSD expansion up to 32GB

MORE DETAIL:

GENERAL	2G Network	GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
	3G Network	HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100

BODY	Dimensions	123.9 x 60.2 x 13.9 mm, 95.5 cc

	Size	360 x 640 pixels, 4.0 inches (~184 ppi pixel density)

MEMORY	Card slot	microSD, up to 32 GB
MEMORY	Internal	16 GB storage, 1 GB ROM, 512 MB RAM

CAMERA	Primary	41 MP (38 MP effective, 7152 x 5368 pixels), Carl Zeiss optics, autofocus, Xenon flash

	Stand-by	Up to 465 h (2G) / Up to 540 h (3G)
	Talk time	Up to 11 h (2G) / Up to 6 h 50 min (3G)

It is rather strange that Nokia decided to have the Nokia 808 PureView run on the Nokia Belle operating system instead of Microsoft’s Windows Phone, as the latter might do its bit to endear more folks to the PureView instead of the former.

The Nokia 808 PureView is expected to roll out in May for around US$605.

New LG Optimus 4X HD

LG has announced the huge 5inOptimus Vu smartphone, three L-Style Android phones and the Optimus 3D Maxahead of Mobile World Congress (MWC) next week, but we felt sure it was saving its flagship smartphone for the show itself.
The device also boasts a large 4.7-inch display, 1GB of RAM and a massively customised version of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. We particularly liked the new screen unlock method, which should keep Apple's lawyers away.

Alongside the Optimus 4X HD comes a detailed look at the 3D Max smartphone and the Optimus Vu phone/tablet rival to the Samsung Galaxy Note, all of which weren't set to go public before they appeared on the LG stand at MWC on Monday.

The Optimus 4X HD will come with 1GB of RAM, 16GB of local storage, an eight megapixel camera on the rear, 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera, support for DLNA and MHL, and will run the latest version of Android, codenamed Ice Cream Sandwich.

The phone will come with a large 2150mAh battery and in combination with the fifth ‘companion core’ on the Tegra 3 chip, this should ensure pretty decent battery life for the new phone.
LG has said the Optimus 4X HD will be coming to Europe in the second quarter of 2012 but there is no word on pricing yet.

Kenwood ODELIC glass speakers

We’ve seen all sorts of speakers on the market, and if you’re looking for a different type of speakers for your living room, today we have something special for you from Kenwood.

Speakers tend to be made out of wood due to its natural acoustic qualities. This however does not mean that other materials cannot be used, and Kenwood doesn’t think so either and has unveiled the Kenwood ODELIC SP0001 Glass Speakers,which if the name did not already give it away, is made out of glass, or to be more specific, the housing of the speaker is made from glass.

The use of a glass housing has obviously required some technical measures to prevent the vibrations of the speaker in the long term could lead to cracks and breaks in the material. Kenwood has solved these problems by employing aluminium elements for the body of the speakers and the anchoring system that reduce size and amount of support vibration

Kenwood ODELIC SP0001 Glass Speakers look amazing, but so far, we don’t have any information regarding the sound quality. As for the price, Kenwood ODELIC SP0001 Glass Speakers costs $1,360 while the speaker stand costs $275.

Ramos Alarm Clock-When You Really Want to Wake Up

How difficult is it for you to wake up in the morning? If you are anything have tried all sorts of alarm clocks just to ensure that you get up in time for work every day. Peoples even set several alarms, especially for days when They have something really important on Thier plate. Alas, it doesn’t always work.

A lot. Like more than five times every morning. Who doesn’t? We all struggle with getting out of bed – some more than others – which is why this new gadget is particularly intriguing. Sure, alarms in the past have come up with their own unique tricks to pry us out of bed, but none quite go to the lengths of the Ramos Alarm Clock. And none look quite as cool.

The Nixie Ramos (pictured) looks like it came out of a 1950s sci-fi alien flick. The alarm clock works in a few ways: To deactivate it, users need to walk to a wireless control panel placed somewhere (your choosing) in the house and punch in a diffuse code – the code can be today’s date or a four digit number that gets flashed on the clock itself.

The project is still only in the Kickstarter phase, unfortunately, but it’s quickly nearing its goal. Currently there are three versions planned: LED Ramos, Nixie Ramos and Ramos Custom. $150-$350,

iBamboo Urban Speaker Dock made from recycled plastic

There is variety of iPhone speaker docks on the market, but if you’re looking for a natural speaker that is made from recycled materials, today we have the perfect model for you.

An alumni of KICKSTARTER, the eco-design firm Triangle Tree unveiled the prototype to its newest project, the iBamboo Urban.The creator behind iBamboo is looking into creating a model the same size and even shape as the bamboo version, but made out of recycled plastic. The move is based on consumer requests for a plastic version. Plastic, as we know, is not nearly as sustainable as bamboo, and even the reduced footprint of recycled plastic probably isn't as eco-friendly as a section of bamboo. Still, using recycled plastic has its pros.

However, the product is still electricity free and relies on the resonance and amplification

properties of the original design.
About the sound, we have to notice that iBamboo Urban will produce crisp sound, unlike its predecessor that produces warm sound. Several iBamboo Urban models will be available, both transparent and in solid colors.

iBamboo Urban is still a prototype, but its creators are looking for a suitable manufacturer, so we should see iBamboo Urban available someday soon. As for the price, iBamboo Urban is will be priced at $30.

Novatiq designs Remotely Controlled SCORP robot

After 15 months of development, privately-owned Swiss company Novatiq is set to enter the robotics market with its first offering, SCORP. Designed for scouting and surveillance applications, SCORP is a Micro Unmanned Ground Vehicle (MUGV) that joins the growing ranks of throwable robots. As such, it is small, rugged and lightweight enough to be carried in a backpack and thrown into buildings or over rough terrain.

The robot has a top speed of 8 km/h (5 mph), and can be controlled by a wearable controller at distances of up to 500 m (1,650 ft). If communications between the controller and the robot are disrupted, SCORP will automatically retrace its path until communications are restored.

The handheld panel control measures 360 mm (14.1 in) high, 200 mm (7.8 in) wide and 50-70 mm (1.9-2.7 in) thick, and weighs 1.9 kg (4.2 lb). It incorporates a 6.5-inch touchscreen, dual joysticks for robot and accessories control and has a battery life of four to five hours.

Features of SCORP robot:

SCORP is designed at a compact size of 34 cm long, 27 cm wide and 12 cm high. As it weighs only 7.70 lb (3.50 kg), it can be easily carried everywhere. It is capable of carrying objects up to a weight of 6.0 lb (3.0 kg)

The wearable controller can control the robot up to 500 meters distance. In some cases, the contact between the robot and controller may be lost. At this time, the robot goes back automatically to restore its communication.

This robot is equipped with a robotic arm, radios, sensors, and standard battery. It has four cameras with Infrared illuminators for clear night views, and tilts at +/- 90 degrees. It can also support an additional external battery for increasing the working time for up to six hours

Novatiq will launch SCORP in March 2012 at a starting price of US $10,750 (CHF 10,500). and plans to release additional accessories through out the year

Scientists Develop “PV Value” to Accurately Appraise PV Systems

Scientists at Sandia National Laboratories and Solar Power Electric teamed together to develop a tool to appraise homes and commercial buildings with photovoltaic (PV) installations. Dubbed PV Value, this electronic form will serve as a standard methodology for appraisers, real estate agents and mortgage underwriters that need to accurately value PV systems.

Since the 2010 SPI event took place in Los Angeles, the industry barometer has become decidedly more unsettled. The likely doubling of US installations to 2GW this year and accelerating utility-scale megaproject construction have been offset by the triple-whammy bankruptcies of Evergreen, Spectrawatt, and especially Solyndra. The latter’s tumble set off a headline-making, misinformation-laden controversy that has more to do with partisan politics than honest evaluations of solar’s current and future prospects. The 30-40% drop in module prices over the past year just adds to the volatility.

Solar Power Electric located in Port Charlotte, Fla., is an electrical contracting and solar integration company specializing in the installation of commercial and residential photovoltaic systems.
