Sony CEO, Sir Howard Stringer, let slip that the company is making sensors for Apple, the manufacturing of which is being delayed due to the Japan earthquake. However, based on that little tidbit of news and other recent rumors, all signs point to a Sony backside-illuminated CMOS sensor in the iPhone 5 (whenever it arrives).
Frankly, I think this is pretty good news for the next iPhone. Sony has been knocking it out of the park lately with image quality – particularly so with its smaller compact cameras using the Sony Exmor R technology. If this trend continues with the next iPhone’s camera sensor, it should be a decent little pocket camera to carry around.

The Nokia N8 may be the coolest smartphone since the iPhone. Forget about web surfing and email. The N8 does much more. I am talking about a built-in camera with a 12MP sensor and Carl Zeiss optics, the ability to produce HD quality video and edit it, and Ovi Maps walk and drive navigation. Yes, it’ll do Facebook and Twitter too. [click to continue…]

Desi, a black guy, and Wanda, a white woman, apparently work at some consumer electronics store. They are testing the face tracking feature of the HP webcam and arrive at the conclusion that it will not recognize or track black faces.
Just check out the video for yourself. Something fishy is definitely going on here.
HP has seen this video and thinks it may be due to the lack of foreground lighting and low contrast on Desi’s face:
We believe that the camera might have difficulty “seeing” contrast in conditions where there is insufficient foreground lighting. While we work on this, take a look here for more information on the impact of lighting on facial tracking software, and how to optimize your webcam experience: http://bit.ly/7HsZHD
