Infrared 10 Times Faster
Japanese companies Omron and ITEX have developed an application for Symbian OS which boosts infrared transfer speeds up to 10 times higher than its current speed. Jointly developed by ITX-EG, NTT DoCoMo Inc., Sharp Corp. and Waseda, IrSimple has been adopted as a global standard by IrDA (Infrared Data Association), an organization that designs and sets standards for infrared communications. IrSimple is expected to open new avenues for users who will be able to transmit photos or other data with a simple “point and shoot” action.
After the Nokia 808 Pureview in all its MegaPixel goodness got an award last week, the company has just announced that it will be hitting stores sometime this May.

From the announcement, the first countries that will receive the device will be Russia and India with additional countries coming in a later announcement.

The Nokia PureView that was shown off by Nokia in MWC this year is much like any other smartphone nowadays except for two things. The first is that it is running on Nokia’s Symbian OS. The second is what users will want this device for; a whopping 41MP camera. Besides that, the phone will have a 1.3 GHz single-core chip, a 4-inch display with a 360×640 (nHD) resolution, 512MB of RAM, 16GB of storage space which can be expanded with a microSD and a Pentaband modem.
