Sony Ericsson Idou: Introducing the 12 Megapixel Smartphone
By Jenny • Mar 17th, 2009 • Category: UncategorizedSony Ericsson has recently announced its new smartphone called Idou. This one is more like a converged device because it combines the power of a CyberShot camera with the functionality of a smartphone. The most amazing feature of the Idou is its 12 megapixel auto focus camera that can give you stunning images at an unprecedented resolution of 4000 x 3000 pixels. Now there is no need to buy and carry a Cybershot separately if you crave for high quality images on the move. The Idou itself can do the task.
Apart from being the first smartphone with 12MP camera the Idou is the first one to run on the brand new open source Symbian user interface that is still in its development phase at the Symbian Foundation. The Sony-Ericsson Idou is not the actual name of the phone. It is the code name of the device and is still being developed by Sony Ericsson. According to the company the Idou will be finalised by the second half of 2009 and will hit the consumer market that time only. The Sony-Ericsson Idou is expected to offer unique user interface with all the necessary functions built into it. Below are the main tech specs of the Idou:
• Supports both 2G and 3G networks
• 3.5 inches (360 x 640 pixels) touchscreen display
• GPRS, EDGE, WLAN, Bluetooth, USB, HSCSD enabled
• Geo-tagging
• 12 MP (4000 x 3000) pixels autofocus camera with xenon flash and face and smile detection technology
• Secondary VGA camera for video call
• RSS reader, web browser, MMS, SMS, e-mail and instant messaging
• Audio/Video player and stereo FM radio with RDS
