OmniVision, one of the leading suppliers of image sensors for mobile phones, has announced two new products today: the OV16820 and the OV16825.

Outbid is going for the iPhone and iPad users, allowing them to place their bids while on the go. Whether you sit back and observe your competitors’ behavior, or dive into a “frenetic game of bidding one-upsmanship,” you will be able to remotely experience the “buzz of the traditional auction room.” In addition, the application…
