Nokia 808 PureView 41-megapixel sensor with highest performance

Forty one megapixels. That's what it says on the back of the Nokia PureView 808, a new smartphone that can safely be called the highest resolution cameraphone ever. I got some time with it this morning and it's impressive, but perplexing.
The 808 is a solid block of white plastic. It isn't slim, but c'mon guys, it's 41 megapixels. More importantly, it feels like a premium device, without loose or creaky bits. There's an HDMI port on top, a dedicated camera button, and of course that camera on the back: a relatively large lens with a big Xenon flash above it. The phone has a 4-inch, 640-by-360 touch screen–that's a standard Symbian resolution–as well as a 1.3GHz processor and 16GB of memory, plus a memory card slot............

Apple iPad 3: Home Button Missing

Eagle-eyed readers have been pointing out a curious omission on the imagery of Apple's iPad-themed invite that went out this morning: there's no home button in sight. The simplest explanation here is that it's a photo of (what is presumably) an iPad 2 on its side, something that's not that much of a stretch given that the iPad's been designed to work the same no matter which end is down.
Yet it's also curious given rumors of Apple ditching the home button on the iPad, an option that came to light when the company introduced multi-touch gestures to developers in iOS 4.3, and later as a feature for users in iOS 5. One of those is a full hand pinch that brings users back to the iPad's home screen, just like what would happen if you clicked on the home button...............

APIC Corporation: successfully created a germanium laser

APIC Corp. (Culver City, Calif.), a supplier of photonic ICs to the U.S. military, has announced that a research team under the leadership of APIC chairman and CEO Birendra "Raj" Dutt, has succeeded in getting germanium to act as a laser.
This opens up the prospect of using germanium as an on-chip light source for a future generation of silicon-based photonic ICs, the company said. Allowing circuits to use light instead of electrons could result in higher performance ICs that consume less power, the company added.
The team succeeded in making germanium produce a laser when electrically pumped. Using this technology, called FLIP (Fully Laser Integrated Photonics), APIC hopes to develop photonic microprocessors, doping germanium in silicon wafer. Photons from the induced germanium laser..............

New BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0 now is available

When we took a look at the BlackBerry PlayBook 2.0 OS back at CES, we called it "the most polished version of the PlayBook OS yet." Whether that's enough to turn sales around for the tablet is quite another matter, but it does show that RIM is able to push out new versions of the OS that is going to eventually form the basis of BlackBerry 10.
The biggest improvement? The made-in-Ottawa PlayBook 2.0 operating system (OS), finally features one-click access to all of a user's email accounts.

Pocketnow paraphrases Belfiore as saying that Windows Phone 8 will “use many of the same components of Windows 8” and that areas of heavy overlap include “kernel, networking stacks, security and multimedia support.” Developers will apparently have the ability to reuse massive chunks of code when “porting an app from desktop to phone.”...........
