LG-Optimus-3D-P920
LG Optimus 3D P920, announced recently by LG, is the world’s first 3D smartphone that includes 4.3 inch touchscreen display, 1 GHz OMAP4 dual-core processor, dual-lens camera, glasses-free 3D display and more. Glasses-free 3D display means LG Optimus 3D P920 lets you record, view and share 3D content without glasses. LG Optimus 3D P920 also comes with multiple connectivity options includingHDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) and DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance), which will allow you to easily transfer the recorded content to other devices. You can share content on YouTube’s dedicated 3D channel directly from your smartphone or share via an HDMI 1.4 connection to your TV or DLNA Certified products. Operating System for LG Optimus 3D P920 is Android 2.2 (Froyo).

LG Optimus 3D P920 is more than just a phone, but a 3D gaming device. The LG Optimus 3D P920 will come with three 3D games from Gamesloft, including Asphalt 6, Let's Gold 2 and N.O.V.A. Optimus P920 should be much faster than HTC Evo 3D for it’s dual-memory and dual-channel. LG Optimus P920 promises twice as good performance as other 1GHz dual-core phones out there. When this smartphone gets an Android 2.3 update it should be even faster. LG smartphone works on quad-band GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 with tri-band HSDPA 900 / 1800 / 1900 network and has 1 GHz dual-core processor ARM Cortex-A9.

Nokia X7 Entertainment Smartphone
Nokia X7 Entertainment Smartphone

Nokia launched the widely anticipated smartphone, Nokia X7, on April 12, 2011. Nokia X7 is Nokia’s first 4-inch entertainment smartphone. The entertainment smartphone is made from toughened glass and seamless stainless steel with a unique and durable design. Nokia X7 offers users all the benefits of the latest Symbian operating system, Symbian Anna*. It’s a fast and fluid experience from browsing the web to scrolling through music gallery.
Nokia X7 comes with free walk-and-drive navigation through the latest Ovi Maps. There’s messaging through Nokia Email and connecting to Facebook, Twitter and RenRen (in China) using Nokia Social. This entertainment smartphone comes with Galaxy on Fire HD and Asphalt 5 HD preinstalled.
Nokia X7
Nokia X7
Nokia X7 looks like a meaner version of the Nokia N8 and features a 680MHz ARM11 processor with a Broadcom BCM2727 GPU, 256MB of RAM and 1GB of ROM.
Nokia X7’s 4-inch, capacitive AMOLED display offers 16 million colors and a resolution of 640 x 360 pixels. And it’s made of tough glass, so it won’t shatter easily.
This entertainment smartphone is purpose-built for entertainment and that includes the media you create yourself. Nokia X7 comes with 8GB memory card pre-installed, with up to 350MB built-in operating memory. It can support MicroSD cards up to 32GB. The 8-megapixel camera with a dual LED flash offers 720p video recording.

*The updated Symbian^3 software released the Nokia X7 and E6-00 is nick-named "Anna".
Symbian is an operating system (OS) and software platform designed for smartphones and currently maintained by Nokia. The Symbian platform is the successor to Symbian OS and Nokia Series 60; unlike Symbian OS, which needed an additional user interface system, Symbian includes a user interface component based on S60 5th Edition. The latest version, Symbian^3, was officially released in Q4 2010, first used in the Nokia N8.
Symbian OS was originally developed by Symbian Ltd. It is a descendant of Psion's EPOC and runs exclusively on ARM processors, although an unreleased x86 port existed.

Despite the obvious past accomplishments of the founders and early employees, Android Inc. operated secretively, admitting only that it was working on software for mobile phones.
Google acquired Android Inc. in August, 2005, making Android Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of Google Inc. Key employees of Android Inc., including Andy Rubin, Rich Miner and Chris White, stayed at the company after the acquisition.

Android is a software stack for mobile devices that includes an operating system, middleware and key applications. Google Inc. purchased the initial developer of the software, Android Inc., in 2005. Android's mobile operating system is based on the Linux kernel. Google and other members of the Open Handset Alliance collaborated on Android's development and release. The Android Open Source Project (AOSP) is tasked with the maintenance and further development of Android. The Android operating system is the world's best-selling Smartphone platform.

FCam released for the Nokia N900

Stanford University and Nokia Research Center, Palo Alto, have created and released a new, open-source digital photography platform, called FCam (Frankencamera) for the Nokia N900. FCam allows developers to create new capabilities for digital cameras, and users to take advantage of a whole new class of photography apps.

FCam allows the creation of new digital camera applications that help users overcome some of the shortcomings of their devices or create interesting new types of imagery. It is part of the Camera 2.0 project, created in collaboration between Nokia, Stanford, and other partners.
Nokia N900 FCam

Nokia Fellow Kari Pulli says that the Nokia N900 is a camera phone, but it runs a version of Linux almost as complete as that installed on personal computers. For this reason, Nokia N900 was chosen as the host device for the FCam platform.

The researchers have already created a series of new photography apps for the platform, some of which will also be free to download. These three will be available from the FCam project pages .
FCamera is an example camera application that uses FCam libraries and drivers. It is released in source code to serve as a starting point for programmers to create their own camera applications like in Nokia N900.

Low-light Assistant helps in situations where there is not enough light to avoid the choice between a quick exposure that will look sharp, but dark and noisy, and a long exposure that will have enough light, but likely be blurry. Instead, the application captures two images in rapid succession and then automatically combines them, resulting in a photo that is both bright and sharp.

HDR Capture helps in situations where there is too much light, such as a portrait of a person with a bright sky behind her. The camera takes up to three images with different exposure settings and combines them to an image that shows the details of both the foreground and background objects, without under or over-exposing any of them.

Nokia N900 Cards

trajectory of  playing cards thrown in the air
Photo-trickery is also on the cards. One of the applications described in a research paper captured the position and trajectory of playing cards thrown into the air with complete clarity through the use of two flash units, each behaving independently. The paper will be presented next week at the SIGGRAPH conference in Los Angeles.

The hope, though, is that once FCam is in the public domain, Nokia developers and camera programmers will work to create a whole new class of programmable camera applications which will be gathered together on the project website and will be used in the devices like Nokia N900.
