Nokia launches 41-MP camera smartphone -Nokia 808 PureView

Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia has unveiled a new smartphone with an unprecedented 41-megapixel camera.

The 450 Euros device, 808 PureView, runs on software that Nokia is reportedly phasing out in favour of the Windows Phone.

The new smartphone, which was announced at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, is expected to launch in Europe in May, The Telegraph reports.

With 41 MP, the phone is able to shoot images that Nokia claims can be printed in "poster size".

Files, however, condense four or five pixels into one, and Nokia claims they are smaller than equivalent products from rivals.

Mary McDowell, the firm's executive vice president for mobile phones, said the company's engineers had been working on the product "for years".

She said it was "natural" to assume that its technology would be used in other Nokia products in the future.

McDowell added that while the device was larger than its rivals, it was still sized to fit in pockets, rather than replace a full-size camera.

According to the report, the device uses a 1.3GHz processor, comes with 16GB of storage and runs a 4" screen at 360 x 640, which is below HD resolution.

Angry over unwanted calls, SMSes? Try Metro Block It

The new app allows users to quickly identify the numbers from which they want to block calls and messages.

A new app, named Metro Block It, has been launched in the Android Market that users can employ to block unwanted calls and SMSes. With Metro Block It, you can block calls and messages from anonymous and some particular numbers.

In India, mobile phone users have the option to register themselves in the Do Not Call Registry if they do not want to receive calls from telemarketers. However, calls and SMSes from telemarketers have not been stopped completely. Also, if you have not registered, you can use this app that gives an effective solution to this problem.

The Metro Block It has been developed by PrivacyStar, which makes apps for Android and BlackBerry smartphones, in association with MetroPCS, an American mobile phone service provider.

"We understand our customers' needs and, with mobile devices being the primary phone and Internet device for many of our customers, recognize the need to provide them with a service that allows for uninterrupted use and control over their primary lifeline to the world," said Tom Keys, president and chief operating officer of MetroPCS.

"We're excited about working with PrivacyStar to meet the needs of our users and continue providing voice, text and data services, along with great features like Metro Block-it, at an incredible value," added Keys.

The app is available for free for all users with Android 1.5 and above devices. To download the app, click here.

How to move apps to SD card on Android smartphone

By moving large apps to the SD card, you can improve your Android smartphone's performance.

Usually, Google Android OS based smartphones in India have 2 GB to 16 GB/32 GB on-board storage.

After installing about 20-30 apps, the phone usually start to slow down. To fix this, the best option is to move the installed applications to the SD card storage.

A simple Android application — App 2 SD Free lets the user move applications installed on the phone memory to mobile storage, i.e. the SD card or external storage.

Step One

Download, Install App 2 SD and open it.

Step Two

Tap the app you wish to move to the SD card or USB storage. Note that apps showing the 'x' symbol on their icon can't be moved.

Step Three

The app will take you to the settings interface and you should scroll to find a "Move to SD Storage" or "Move to USB Storage" button.

Repeat the same process for all the applications to be moved.

Once the app has been moved to SD card storage, the internal memory of the phone will have free space for new apps, or you could leave it empty to make your device faster.

TOP 5 ROFL GADGETS

1.Private Laptop Viewer

Have you ever wanted some privacy while using your computer?  Have you ever been in a public space where anyone can look over your shoulder and steal your idea for the next brilliant blog post?  But most importantly, have you ever been using your computer and had the nagging feeling that, while you enjoy using your computer, it would be so much better if you could look like a molting mutant Muppet while doing so?  Well, now here’s your chance.

These aren’t made to be sold, but are rather for some sort of artistic vision. 

2.Uno Motorbike

Built by Ben J. Poss Gulak, it’s an electric vehicle having  just one control —a power switch— and everything else is done by leaning, which must make for one hell of an adrenaline-packed ride. The Uno’s speed is controlled by how far you lean forward or back.

3.Gangster CD Stereo Sneakers

Yes folks, we live in a really really geeky world where people does not only think of a crazy gadget like this but also turn them into reality.

The Gangster CD Stereo Sneaker is a sneaky way to play your favorite tracks. Resembling the looks of a shoe, the stereo sneaker can intake CDs and blast out music.

4.Maple Phone

Transforming a popular product into a wooden version is a bizarre development, but the cell phone has just undergone such treatment. The Maple Phone has been developed by two Koreans, Hyun Jin Yoon and Eun Hak Lee as they prove that phones do not need to follow the same trend of plastic products. The wooden phone exhibits a touch sensitive keypad and also a camera. For the touchpad to work correctly, we believe that some different materials are used, as this would be impossible based on wood alone. The phone is great from an environmental perspective, since wood is a natural source and completely renewable. Perhaps this will pave the way for future wooden products, for example wooden MP3 players, wooden laptops, wooden televisions etc.
The wooden phone does not look particularly appealing, and will no doubt be heavier than the traditional plastic. At the moment, it looks like a block of wood with some numbers and stickers placed on the front. Nevertheless it would be great to get our hands on one and compare it with a more conventional plastic cell phone.

The next-gen Apple iPad – the iPad 3 is a hot gadget, which has got a number of rumors so far. The latest rumor hints that the device will be launched at iWorld 2012. And there are many speculations about the hardware specs of the iPad 3 including some say that it’d be a 7-inch smaller tablet that would compete with the Kindle Fire and some other claim that the Apple iPad 3 would come with a display with double of the resolution of the current Retina display of iPad 2.

Digitimes has not got the latest rumor claiming that the Apple iPad 3 will be announced at iWorld 2012 which was previously known as MacWorld. The event will take place at Moscone Center in San Francisco between January 26-28, 2012.

Some more, it says that Apple would launch two new versions of iPad rather than just one in 2012. It also claims that the new iPad not to replace the iPad 2. Instead it will compliment it, bringing additional options to the Apple iPad lineup. So, eventually, Apple will have an entry-level iPad, a mid-range and a high-end iPad. It seems to tell that the fierce competition from those many options of Android devices has pushed Apple to produce entry-level, lower-cost devices in order to stay in the game?

The latest rumors also claim that the new Apple iPad will have its screen to remain at 9.8 inches but will pack a faster A6 quad-core processor, replacing the dual-core A5 processor that’s found in the current iPad 2. Other goodies are the double of resolution (2048×1536) of the iPad 2′s Retina Display, an 8MP camera for the high-end version of iPad 3. While a mid-range version will feature an 5MP camera only and they’ll likely pack a dual-LED light bars for better brightness and a huge 14,000mAH battery for longer gameplay and video sessions.
