(InfoWorld) - With the launch of its K770 Cyber-shot phone,?Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications hopes to narrow the quality gap?between dedicated digital cameras and mobile phones with integrated cameras.
The slim 14.5 millimeter phone, announced Wednesday, offers a range of features found in most quality digital cameras, including auto focus and 3x digital zoom.
A sliding cover protects the lens. Once in camera mode, the 1.9 inch screen becomes a viewfinder. Illuminated icons, which appear across the keypad, serve as one-click shortcuts to each of the camera's main functions, such as picture size and light.
The new Photo fix feature offers photo editing directly on the 3.2-megapixel phone, allowing users to correct photos taken under poor lighting conditions.
With a USB (Universal Serial Bus) cable, users can transfer photos to PCs, send them directly to a printers with the PictBridge application or upload them to the Internet. Pictures can be printed in A4 size.
The 256MB memory card can hold up to 200 high-quality photos.
The music features include wireless stereo headsets using short-range Bluetooth technology and a FM radio.
But the K770 is a phone, too.
The tri-band handset operates on the three frequencies used for GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) and 3G (third-generation) technologies: 900, 1800 and 1900.
The phone will be available in the fourth quarter of 2007. Pricing information was not immediately available.

I was late to work this morning because I spent about half an hour staring at this
Rush Hour 3 Billboard in midtown, rubbing my eyes every couple minutes and looking at it again, finding something else to laugh at, and repeating this over and over about six more times. Check it out.
1 - Chris Tucker's face is 100% serious (110% if you count "intensity" as double percent serious). He is never this serious at any point in either of the two movies, even when killing people, rescuing children, or learning to appreciate Chinese food.
2 - Glass is breaking all around Tucker's fist for no discernable reason. Where is it coming from? And why is he punching through glass?
3 - Chris Tucker's fist is bigger than his frickin' head. Why is this poster so aggressive? And how did he punch through the glass left handed? And does he usually punch with really calculated, perfectly-formed boxing jabs?
4 - The Eiffel Tower (stamp?) is tossed into the photo to remind us that the film takes place in France and thus, there will be ample opportunity for people to not understand the words coming out of Chris Tucker's mouth.
5 - While this isn't funny on the billboard, the movie's website,
Rushhourmovie.com, looks like a
Geocities site left over from the first Rush Hour movie during the late 90s. The music on the homepage also repeats every seven seconds -- it's like its own really poorly made

kripkenstein notes an analysis up on TechRepublic detailing how Microsoft beat Linux in China, and the consequences of that victory: "With the soon-to-be largest economy standardized on Windows desktops, desktop Linux does seem to have an uphill battle ahead of it." "Linux has turned out to be little more than a key bargaining chip in a high stakes game of commerce between the Chinese government and the world's largest software maker... The fact that... Linux failed to gain a major foothold in China is yet another blow to desktop Linux. After nearly eight years of being on the verge of a breakthrough, Linux seems more destined than ever to be a force in the server room but little more than a narrow niche and an anomaly on the desktop."

Apple's iPhone may be the hottest gadget to fly off store shelves in recent history, but for the IT department at Duke University, the innovative mobile phones could be the reason for the wireless network disruptions plaguing the campus.

This bi-chronical watch from Fossil has a hard time explaining exactly what it is it does to its parents thanks to its dual analog and digital face. The left side is analog, reading numbers in a vertical configuration, whereas the main chunk of the rest of the face has two hands and tells time in an analog fashion. Does this look cool? Definitely. Will you be totally confused if you accidentally change one time to be slightly off from the other? You bet. [Fossil via Fossil via Technabob]

Christian Svensson, Capcom's Sr. Director of Strategic Planning & Research has been providing Nintendo fans with tons of details about the company and possible upcoming details the past few weeks. Today was no exception, as Svensson once again divulged quite a bit of new information. First, some of you may remember Dead Phoenix, a game that Capcom showed off for the GameCube years ago. The game drew many comparisons to Kid Icarus, but eventually, the game slid under the radar and was canned. A good portion of the gaming community hoped for the revival of the game, perhaps by partially remolding the game as we knew it. Unfortunately, it looks like not even this is possible. Said Svensson, "As far as CEI resurrecting it, frankly, we have enough things on our plate at the moment and enough ideas in the pipeline that we don't need to be going back to that well."

Typically when we hear the term ?unrated? applied to a DVD it?s an attempt from a horror movie to sneak a little bit of extra gore in. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn?t; usually it doesn?t ? after all, that deleted material being put back in was cut for a reason. Because I?m so cautious about that ?unrated? label, it catches me a little off guard when it?s applied to films outside of the horror genre, especially serious dramas.

Taser International is teasing us, saying that next monday we will be able to incapacitate enemies, evil car salesmen and unfriendly mothers-in-law by shooting their new tiny eXtended Range Electronic Projectile from a 12-gauge shotgun. But what's this XREP coming out of that barrel above?
The XREP is a taser which only weights 2.4 grams and has a volume of 0.1 cubic inches. So basically, it's a bullet that won't kill but convert the target into a trembling mass of Jell-o. Blue Jell-o hopefully. Yummy.
However, don't get yourself neuro-muscularly excited yet: even while the technology seems to be ready for demos, it will only start to get field tests this fall to be released in 2008.
