Mobile-review.com First look at Nokia RX-51 aka Nokia N900

Please note – This article is nothing but our first impressions of the device and some musings about what’s going to happen. The N900 itself has reached the stage when most of its elements are operable, so we decided we could publish this lowdown. Just one more remark, had it not been for so many leaks regarding the N900 you wouldn’t have seen this write-up in the first place. But alas, Nokia have failed to keep their main 2009 announcement in secret, so here we go.

If you are not a frequent reader of Mobile-Review.com you might ask how come Nokia decided to put aside its favorite S60 platform and switch to Maemo, which is all another way of saying that they ditched S60 for Linux OS. As most of you know, until recently Maemo has been used exclusively in pair with Internet Tablets.

Exclusive: Apple dictated Light Peak creation to Intel, could begin migration from other standards as early as 2010

Remember how Intel showed off its new, advanced optical standard — Light Peak — this past week on a Hackintosh? Well it turns out there’s more to that story than you probably know, and it all leads back to some revealing facts about the connection… literally and figuratively. Engadget has learned — thanks to an extremely reliable source — that not only is Apple complicit in the development of Light Peak, but the company actually brought the concept to Intel and asked them to create it. More to the point, the new standard will play a hugely important role in upcoming products from Cupertino.

SugarSync extends backup/sync/share service to Android, eyes netbook market | VentureBeat

We’ve written before about Sharpcast and its creation, the SugarSync system that let users backup, sync, and share files from their computers and smartphones. VentureBeat writer Anthony Ha called it “the simplest and most usable sync service I’d seen.”

But Sharpcast hasn’t been able to take off as a business the way it should with a product this solid. In January, CEO Laura Yecies, who had taken the helm a month earlier, acknowledged that the company’s lastest $10M funding round was a down round, meaning that the valuation of the company was lowered by the new investors.

Are Open-Source Cameras The Way Of The Future? – HotHardware

Scientists at Stanford are working on an open source camera that could change the world of photography by giving programmers the power to change and add features to a camera via software updates. If the technology catches on, our cameras will no longer be limited by the software that comes pre-installed from the manufacturer.

Nearly all of the features of the “Frankencamera,” including focus, exposure, shutter speed, and flash, are able to be controlled by software. According to Marc Levoy, professor of Computer Science and of Electrical Engineering at Stanford, “The premise of the project is to build a camera that is open source.”

How the Web OS has begun to reshape IT and business | Enterprise Web 2.0 | ZDNet.com

These days in the halls of IT departments around the world there is a growing realization that the next wave of outsourcing, things like cloud computing and crowdsourcing, are going to require responses that will forever change the trajectory of their current relationship with the business, or finally cause them to be relegated as a primarily administrative, keep-the-lights-on function.

Intel announces Atom CE4100 for insanely powerful cable boxes and Blu-ray players

Intel’s CE3100 media chip has been behind some of the cooler demos they’ve done here at IDF, and it’s just gotten a big brother, the Atom CE4100. As you’d expect, the big change is the replacement of the CE3100’s Pentium M core with an Atom core, but this thing is actually kind of a monster — it can decode two 1080p video streams with various high-end audio codecs, it adds MPEG-4 support and 3D graphics capability, and it can even capture uncompressed 1080p video. Of course, it’s up to manufacturers and cable companies to actually put all this power to use, but Intel’s promised us some hardware demos from partners — stay tuned.
