If it’s not TI, it’s Samsung that brings us some neat technology. This time they’ve announced an 8.4 MP CMOS image sensor (CIS) with a 1.4 pixel design. The new chip comes with a high signal to noise ratio (SNR), a key measure of overall image quality.
The high-res is achieved by implementing advanced light sensing features and minimized noise levels. Plus, there’s an extended photo diode technology to achieve higher light sensitivity and saturation levels, resulting in an enhanced fill factor.
Apparently, Samsung’s new CMOS image sensor will provide the same image quality as the charge-coupled device (CCD) sensors currently used in most digital cameras. Additionally, the new CIS uses only one tenth the power of a CCD image sensor, and my guess is that we could expect to see it coming in the camera phones by year’s end. (via: FarEastGizmos)

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
