Yep, they have done it again.Sony Ericcsson have idou announced their latest phone-the 'Idou' which will come with a 12.1 Megapixel camera!!!
It will have a 3.5 inch touchscreen display.Not a lot else said about it, so I don't know much either....[sorry!]
Anyway, we'll see it when it comes!!!

Strange Complacency in the GPU World....?!
I have only finished my board exams recently, thus I have been rather silent for a while.Somehow, the GPU leaders Nvidia and ATi have been so too.Otherwise its nothing but hard competition between the two.Nvidia is bringing out some really big GPUs but ATi has already introduced their own DirectX 10.1 ready GPUs, while Nvidia is still sticking to DX 10?!?Mysterious..........
Under AMD's leadership, ATi GPUs have become much more popular, faster and affordable, all at the same time!Nvidia's latest GTX 295 graphics card comes with a crazy 1792 MB [896 x 2GPUs in one card,1.7GB] of pure graphics memory but it STILL uses GDDR3 speed to address all this memory.Comparatively, ATI has only got 512MB memory on their HD4870 graphics card, but it runs at a scorching GDDR5 speed, allowing it to reach teraflops!Moreover, it supports DX 10.1 which none of Nvidia's GPUs can.The 4870 supports OpenGL version 4.1 while the 295 supports only 2.1.Then again, all this for just 512MB graphics memory?That is REALLY upsetting isn't it?
ATi can sit back and relax for a while, since they only need worry about increasing their graphics memory but Nvidia has a lot to catch up on.
Once they do, ATi could have a lot to think about....

Nvidia's GTX Range Expanding!
Nvidia's Geforce GTX series has got some more to offer!
The new GTX 295 is a The GTX 295 is a really big GPU, considering the fact that it has two graphics processing cores on a singe graphics card!!!As I had earlier wished in one of my articles, dual core graphics cards are fast becoming a reality !This means that most of the constituents are also double.What I mean is- each core has 896MB of memory, so a single card holds 1792MB of solid Graphics memory!!!Like most Nvidia cards, it uses GDDR3.As usual,it supports directX 10.Nvidia's PhysX technology of course is present,so games should look stunning.Strangely, it supports only OpenGL 2.1, The GTX 275 itself supports 3.0, the ATi HD 4870 supports 4.1 ??!!
Other less powerful GPUs in the GTX range, apart from the first two GTX 260 and GTX 280 which started it all include:
GTX 285
Single core, powerful card.Has 1GB memory at GDDR3.Supports DX 10.
GTX 275.Again OpenGL 2.1!
Single core card.Has 896 MB memory at GDDR3.Supports DX10. OPENGL3.0?!?
Can't wait for the DX 10.1 ready cards to arrive!I'll keep everyone informed as much as I can!

7 Is a Lucky Number!
Tomorrow is my science modal exam but I stole a few seconds so that I could finally announce this-
INTEL HAS LAUNCHED IT'S FIRST REAL CONSUMER QUAD-CORE DESKTOP PROCESSOR!!!!!!!!!
The new 'i7' series of processors are real quad-core processors!
It ranges from 2.66 to 2.93Ghz..............and that is just for the 'normal' i7[ie-not the extreme version!!!]
It features 8MB cache.Each core is made of 45-nm transistors, like the Core2 Quad.The difference is-unlike the core2 quad, which uses 2 dual core processors in a single package, the i7 is a real quad-core processor, with 4 cores on a single block of silicon.
Think the regular i7's speed is cool?Guess what?

The extreme edition speed is- 3.2 Ghz!X4!!!!
All i7s feature HT technology!!
Yes, makes your computer think it has 8 cores!!!
HT technology also improves performance by letting more applications connect to the same core, keeping the cores well occupied.
This will be some Phenomenal competition for AMD's-well, Phenom!!!
This processor has more than enough to satisfy any gamer out there.You video editors should be especially happy, it encodes video like lightning, faster than any other processor in the market.
Lets see it keep coming!

'i'ronic to the iPhone
I apologise for my earlier post about the iPhone, I guess some factors have managed to change my opinion about the iphone- for worse.
Yes, the iPhone looks like its got almost every feature imaginable in a high-end, expensive phone but all its features are pretty elementary.
Take the camera for example, that's what is most upsetting on the 'upgraded' iPhone 3G, since it first of all retains the predecessor's 2 megapixel sensor, which is nothing much considering the fact that most smartphones come with atleast 3.2MP.The worst part-it still cannot even record video!?
The iPhone 3G got GPS but even this is basic since it does not have voice navigation.
Even though it has got 3G, it has no secondary video call camera in front.
All these features are absolutely necessary in a good phone.I still love the multitouch facility, accelerometer and all that though....!!!
Hope Apple would fix all this by introducing an iPhone 3.5G or something, 3.5G technology should hit the world soon!
Just keep waiting till then....I guess!

Sorry For The Delays!
I've been encountering all sorts of fancy problems lately-both my 128MB RAMs failed, got 512MB [2x 256MB],one of those too failed, some weird internet problems prevented me from logging in to my account, then my exams began, the list goes on.My blogs most probably will be few and far between till my 10th gets over.:'(
I'll keep this thing up to date on pretty important or groundbreaking info anyway.Hope I get the time!

ATI doesn't 'Flop' these Radeons!
Just six months ago, I would have rolled my eyes on hearing the name 'ATI'.Now however, it raises my eyebrow, to say the least!
ATI's latest offering, the Radeon HD 4850 and 4870 touches speeds of teraflops!
What is a teraflop?Basically a measure of a computer's performance.If you think your calculator is fast, it operates at just about 1o FLOPS[FLoating Operations Per Second].1 teraflop =1000000000000FLOPS!!!Really fast!
The HD 4870 uses DDR5 interface, which is three times better than DDR3!!!
This is made possible thanks to ATI's tie up with AMD.ATi can now consume AMD's resources- money, processors, all.
These GPUs come in pretty cheap too, best of all!They handle DirectX 10.1.
Intel's larrabee too should be coming around soon, we have to see what that offers.........
Till then, these monsters of the HD 4 series should give some sleepless nights for rivals....if any!
Games never looked this good!!!
