Scalado CAPS imaging technology chosen as reference component to ship within Symbian OS

Last year, we’ve posted that Scalado will provide mobile imaging software solution for Symbian OS. Finally, it’s happening as they’ve announced that Scalado’s solution for advanced image processing, CAPS-Imaging SDK, will be made available in Symbian OS as a reference component, shipping in Symbian OS developer and customer kits.
However, this doesn’t mean that all Symbian licensees will use Scalado’s fast and memory efficient image processing technology — CAPS can be used for test and development purposes and a license is required directly from Scalado for use in products. Currently Scalado’s software is being used in some handsets from, for example, Sony Ericsson (NYSE: SNE) and Samsung.
Hopefully, this will result in camera equipped smartphones that can take panorama photos…
Nokia has own powerful imaging classes and I think won’t license third-party technologies for imaging.
I agree. Still their autofucus is way slower then Sony Ericsson’s.
