Nokia 808 PureView Has a Monster 41-Megapixel Camera

BARCELONA — Thought that Symbian was dead? Think again: at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Nokia has just announced the 808 Pureview, a flagship Symbian device with a 41-megapixel camera.
You read that right, 41 megapixels – Nokia has made this happen by combining Carl Zeiss optics and Nokia-developed pixel over-sampling technology. High megapixel count does not equal quality photos, of course – we’re looking forward to seeing how PureView tech works in real life.
Of course, the PureView technology will be coming to upcoming Nokia phones as well, so get used to phones having crazy megapixel numbers in the near future.
The 808 PureView also features something called Rich Recording, which lets you record “crisp, clear audio (…) up to a thumping 140 decibels,” says Nokia.
The rest of the specs mostly spell mid-range: a single core 1.3 GHz CPU, a 4-inch, 360 x 640 pixel screen, 512 MB of RAM and 16 GB of storage.
The device will retail for 450 euros, hitting the market in May.
And, going back to the question we asked at the beginning – whether Symbian is dead, as many have predicted – Nokia declined to say. In any way, even if 808 PureView is the last Symbian we see, at least the PureView technology will live on in other handsets.

Sony Launches New Sony Mobile Website, Kills SonyEricsson.com

After we posted "Sony Ericsson Dead, Long Live Sony Mobile Communications" we should have seen this coming as sonyericsson.com is history and the new sonymobile.com is taking its place.

It will take a little bit of getting used to it but the new website seems to borrow the main design principles of Sony's main web page. The AT&T Xperia Ion is greeting you on the front page of the American website while the Xperia S is featured as you enter the U.K. page. According to reports, @SonyXperia is the new Twitter handle to follow once it will be up in place and working, as implied in the press site.
