Well, there may be guys around who would wish to have some more out of their Nokia N8 and there is a good news for you...!!

Nokia N8 already has a very good camera specification.. It includes,

• 12MP camera, along with Carl Zeiss Optics
• 1/1.83” sensor
• ND filter
• auto-focus, geo-tagging, face detection, smile detection, and Xenon flash
• has a resolution of 4000×3000 pixels with capability of recording 720p video @25fps..!!

still want more ...?? you can have it...!!
'HyperX', you may be knowing, he is a well known hacker from the Symbian community. He too wanted more off his Nokia N8's camera and he worked on it and tweaked it to get......

• 720p videos with 30fps
• hacked N8 can snap 11MB images, rather than regular 2MB
• hack also adds the option of continuous auto-focus which will further improve the video quality.

You know the best thing about this hack...?? it doesn't require flashing a new firmware, making it easy-to-use.
HyperX has not yet announced any release date for the hack but I hope it soon will be...:)

Motorola sues Apple...!!??

Motorola sues Apple..!! I think its like "clash of the titans"...!! Anyways let me provide you with some details regarding why this technology giants are fighting...:)

You may be aware of the fact that some days before, on Friday oct 1st Microsoft had filed a complaint against Motorola regarding patent infringement. Microsoft, in its complaint in International Trade Commission and U.S. fedaral court had said Motorola android phones infringe nine patents. Well ... that's a week old news.. But now Motorola has sued Apple for the same reason...'patent infringement'...!!

Motorola has filed the complaint with US International Trade Commission and courts in Illinois, where the company has its headquarters. Motorola said in its complaint that, Apple's iPhone, iPad, ipod Touch and certain macintosh computers, infringe 18 patents, which are related to early-stage innovations developed by Motorola in key technology areas.

The patents relate to antenna design, wireless email, proximity sensing, software application management, location-based services and multi-device synchronization, Motorola said in a statement.

Motorola has asked ITC to investigate Apple's patent infringement issues and and also to bar the importation and sale of infringing products in the United States.

What Kirk Dailey, Motorola Mobility's corporate vice president of intellectual property says regarding the sue is "We have extensively licensed our industry-leading intellectual property portfolio, consisting of tens of thousands of patents in the US and worldwide.After Apple's late entry into the telecommunication market, we engaged in lengthy negotiations, but Apple has refused to take a license, We had no choice but to file these complaints to halt Apple's continued infringement"

So lets wait n see where would this fight lead and what could be the output..:)

But FYI, such law suits are more usual amoung the technology giants than you can imagine...!
As I said above, Microsoft has sued Motorola, now Motorola is suing Apple. Apple is also currently being sued by Nokia and as an answer Apple has come up with a countersuit against Nokia. HTC and apple are also currently suing each other over android phones......!!

There are lot more..!! I think its kind of funny..how these giants in the software and technology world are fighting each other. isn't it..??

Do you know what's going on behind the closed doors of 'Nokia research center'...???

New discoveries, inventions, gadgets with some pretty cool n amazing features are introduced to the world everyday. have ever wondered what researchers and scientists working on right now which would amaze us i the future..?? Well.. if you are then, here is a little window of "Nokia Research Center" giving you a peek into the future...!!!

Know more about "Nokia Research Center" HERE...

Read below to see into the future.....:)
1. Nanowire sensing
What is it...???
In one word its an 'artificial nose'.

How does it work..??
By placing a nanowire on top of a chip, they can train it to recognize different substances which are placed close to the sensing surface.You may ask how can it act as nose, well.., the current passing through the nanowire in influenced by the its surrounding objects.Current reacts , when you place a different object.

Future applications...??
In the future, this kind of technology could be used to monitor environments and measure a variety of things including air pollution, food-based contaminants or bio-chemical processes.
Go for the video....:)



2. Stretchable electronic skin

What is it...??
The title suggests it all.... As you know the circuit board currently are solid.Researchers are working on a technology that will make them flexible like a skin.

How do the make it..??
By using evaporated gold as a conductor, they have created an electronic touchpad which can be stretched like a rubber band, but still respond to touch and pressure.They are testing it to stretch by up to 20 per cent of its original length without any drop in performance.y

Why do we need such thing in future..??
Just think of the possibilities o what could it offer in future...its mind blowing..! Think like this.. it could enable a unique range of wearable devices or even enable technology to feasibly become part of our clothing.This can change the whole way of interacting with technology and gadgets..!!
Watch below.....


3. Electrotactile experience

This third one is the most realistic. Because this is being shown off on a nokia n900. researchers are trying to make the touchscreens to give back more realistic feedbacks so that it can take the way of interacting with touchscreens to a whole new level.
Part of the team’s research is looking at ways to try and replicate textures, potentially offering users new experiences when it comes to interacting with a touchscreen.



So... did you like the future....?????

Nokia N8 is without a doubt an amazing smart phone. Any one who 1st sees its features and applications will be attracted like an iron piece to the magnet. You can just get the full mobile specifications HERE.............

2 days ago an awesome feature of the Nokia N8 was demonstrated at Nokia world. It was demoed that using a new prototype app by nokia called "Plug and Touch", you can turn your television into a massive touch screen smart phone...!!!

Just by connecting your Nokia N8 and your tv with a HDMI cable, you can make your tv touch screen. Nokia N8 uses its camera to recognize your hand movements an dto detect where exactly you are touching the big screen.

Its still a prototype and needs a lot to be improved. But one can see what this Nokia N8 is capable of doing...ryt...??
