scalado imaging technologyLast 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 and Samsung.

Hopefully, this will result in camera equipped smartphones that can take panorama photos…

Dusan Belic

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.

    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.
