The read speed of this 24.81 Megapixel sensor is 6.3 frames per second – in 12bit colors. Obviously expect to find this sensor in upcoming high-end digital SLR cameras from Sony.

The production of this senor will begin sometimes in 2008, so we think that it’s likely that the first camera will appear sometimes in Q4 2008.

Now how about this concept of a cell phone that comes with a detachable display? That’s what Sony Ericsson has thought up in their clamshell idea, described in a patent application as “Detachable Housings for a Wireless Communication Device “. You get a couple of detachable connected housings, where one of them holds the user interface devices for data input and control while the other carries a display with several user input buttons and the relevant phone circuitry, application processor, memory, and battery. When detached, they can “talk” with one another thanks to Bluetooth connectivity, and the housings were specially designed to be joined in different orientations. Sounds pretty much like the perfect handset for folks who like to customize the features within. Do you think the world is ready to accept such an idea?
