Is this a phone or a camera? One of the most famous Chinese handset manufacturers, Beijing Tianyu Communication Equipment, recently announced the launch of a new line of K-Touch camera-phone. The first three series of phones are already submitted, all with 7 or 8 megapixel cameras and three-times optical zoom.
As it was announced in China last week K-Touch C800 and C280 are equipped with 8 megapixel camera, and K-Touch C700 with 7 megapixel. Unfortunately, there are no reviews for assessing the quality of photos, but according to preliminary data the phone has all the functions of a digital camera.
It seems that in order to work with a camera the phone uses a separate processor and software. K-Touch C800 and C280 have 2 microSD slots, so the data from the phone and the camera are stored on two different memory cards. If you want to add your captured photo in mms or email, you will need to change places of the cards.
Here’s a list of features of the phone:
- Network: GSM 900/1800 MHz
- GPRS
- Dimensions: 123 x 56 x 21 mm
- Screen: 2.8-inch 256 thousand color TFT (240 x 320) touch
- 8 megapixel CCD camera with a 3x, auto focus, Xenon Flash
- Two slots for microSD
- MP3, WAV, AMR, WMA, AAC, AAC + player
- Java
- Bluetooth
- Battery: 1300 mAh
- Up to 10 hours of talk time
- Up to 14 days of standby time
Motorola has introduced the latest model of its series of mobile TV receivers, Mobile TV DH02 at the CTIA Wireless 2008 conference. If in previous models of this series were only portable TVs, then this one is more functional.
First of all, a mobile TV receiver, but in addition you can download your own content – music, pictures, videos, etc. It has an 3.5-inch touch screen, video playback with the speed up to 25 frames per second. Content is stored on a memory card of microSD format.
It also has a built-in GPS navigator, BlueTooth, opportunity to write SMS-messages and make emergency calls (E-Call).
Do you think this is all? No. In Motorola Mobile TV DH02 there is a special buffer that allows you to put the TV on pause and turn on later. The maximum possible delay of broadcast is 5 minutes. I think this is a very useful feature.
But unfortunately the price of this device is unknown.
