Sony Ericsson promises 12-megapixel mobile phone.

12.1 Megapixels camera, monitor control and rich multimedia functions: With the mobile phone series IDOU want the Japanese-Swedish group to make everything better than the competition. Still, however, there is a big hole in the matter - and a chic pre-music-mobile phone.

 

With IDOU everything should be better, Sony Ericsson promises. What the group in Barcelona to announce has sounds too tempting to. Without a phone conversation with the promises the company. "The success story of the Walkman phones and Cyber-shot phones, the newly created extension of its product portfolio to a new level is lifted," it says in a press release. And that we will "neither cuts in music, camera, gaming or internet to make" necessary.

But nor is the future of music. While shows on Sony Ericsson mobile exhibition is already a functioning IDOU mobile, but that is apparently still an early prototype. A concept that the whole thing, that show is, what options are there in the future.

Photography seems to be high on the list of desires to stand, the Sony Ericsson Developer ausgekundschaftet have. That's why they want to IDOU with a 12.1-megapixel camera equipped with a xenon flash brightening agents than their side. A silly idea is not, at least something can be good marketing. Whether such a high resolution in a mobile phone is actually useful is another matter.

Enjoy promises that the large display, almost the entire backside position. The simple reason is necessary, because the device is completely controlled by finger operation it. A future Symbian OS will be used as a substructure.

The promised entertainment should IDOU users on the network obtain. Two online services are designed to make access. This is the one to PlayNow plus, a Musikabo offer, which is already marketed in Sweden and this year in other European countries to operate to. In the PlayNow Arena, on the other hand should we deal with films, videos and TV series can provide.

When you are the first mobile phone will IDOU can buy Sony Ericsson is still relatively open. Expected in the second half of 2009 will be the first device of the new series on the market, says the company. This keeps the company, however, a large back door open for possible delays.

With face detection and geotagging

The will of the W995 Walkman phone is not going to happen. This model is already set concretely, in the second quarter of 2009 in the shops and is a music mobile phone very well equipped. So it brings about an 8-GB Memory Stick for music, images and videos. The storage capacity can be via Memory Stick Micro expand.

And the built-in camera provides with 8.1 Megapixel image from as many as a good snapshot camera. Unlike image stabilizer and auto focus should be the 16-times digital zoom the camera, but rather off. Instead of actually closer to the subject approach, such a function enlarges the image on rechnerischem way, which is not always beautiful results.

Schön, however, is that a facial is to ensure that the device is in fact due to the photographed person and not on the background is sharp. Nice and useful should also facilitate the geotagging feature to the GPS position data in the snapshot tag.
