iPhone 4G to Have a 5-Megapixel Camera?

| April 29, 2010 08:07 UTC | 1 comment |

LG Innotec will produce a 5-megapixel camera for the iPhone 4G.

LG Innotek will supply 5-megapixel cameras for Apple’s next-generation smartphone, the iPhone 4G, according to the industry on Wednesday.

The electronics component maker began producing the sophisticated cameras at its plant in Gumi this month and will mass produce them starting in the second half of this year.

The news means that LG Innotek’s camera technology has been recognized in the global market, an analyst with LIG Investment and Securities said. As the cameras fetch high prices, they will improve the firm’s sales, he added.

Bloomberg news reported in January that the upcoming iPhone will likely include a more advanced camera. “Upgrading to a 5-megapixel camera will bring the handset into line with that offered by Google’s Nexus One,” the report said, quoting a Goldman Sachs analyst. The iPhone 3G and 3GS are equipped with 2-megapixel and 3-megapixel cameras, respectively.

Apple is expected to announce the next generation iPhone at WWDC starting June 7th.

Opera Mini for iPhone Updated to Version 5.0.1 – Zoom Still Not Working Correctly

| April 29, 2010 07:24 UTC | 1 comment |

Opera Software just released the first maintenance update for the Opera Mini Web Browser for iPhone. The new update is mainly a bugfix update, with only one new feature, and that is support for Hungarian language.

What still bugs me about Opera Mini, is the horrible implementation of zoom. It supports only two zoom states, that can’t be adjust to your liking. Still waiting for a bigger update for me to switch over from Safari to Opera.
