Is this Nikon's Android Coolpix camera

he rumoured Nikon Android Coolpix might just exist after all, with several leaked images apparently showcasing the new camera

While there aren’t many details given, the pictures show off the touchscreen back panel and an Android OS that looks very Gingerbread. We can also see a 4.5mm-54mm lens with 12xoptical zoom.

The camera is rumoured to be named the Nikon Coolpix S800c, and will be the first officially-released compact with a mainstream OS.

The blog that leaked the images claims the camera’s officially announcement will “be on or around August 22”, meaning it could land as early as tomorrow.

Though the Android Nikon is a leap forward, it’s not the first camera to come packing Android. Polaroid showed off its own Android camera at CES earlier this year, though it hasn’t been distributed worldwide.
 

Huawei introduces the world’s fastest smartphone

Huawei, a global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, introduced the world’s fastest quad-core smartphone, the Huawei Ascend D quad at Mobile World Congress over the weekend. Powered by the Huawei’s K3V2 quad-core 1.2GHz/1.5GHz processor and boasting the most compact design among 4.5-inch smartphones, the Ascend D quad expands the possibilities for consumers with an Android 4.0 operating system and Huawei’s proprietary power management system which provides up to 30% in energy savings.

'We’ve listened to people’s top demands from smartphones: speed, long-battery life, high quality visual and audio capabilities, and a compact, lightweight handset. The Huawei Ascend D quad exceeds these expectations,' said Richard Yu, Chairman of Huawei Device. 'In January at the Consumer Electronics Show at Las Vegas, we achieved a world record for the world’s slimmest smartphone with the Huawei Ascend P1 S. We are proud to once again introduce a world-first at the 2012 Mobile World Congress with the Ascend D quad, the fastest smartphone.'
The Ascend D quad is an entertainment hub with its 4.5-inch 720P high definition touchscreen, and the industry’s most powerful 32-bit true color graphic processor. Its PPI 330 screen providing crystal clear display even under direct sunlight, is complemented by its Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound and Audience earSmart™ voice technology for an experience which excels across the senses. Its 8-megapixel BSI rear-facing camera, 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera, and 1080p full HD video-capture and playback capabilities enables you to record your special moments in clearer, richer detail.
The Ascend D quad comes with an 1800mAh battery, which lasts for one to two days with normal usage. The smartphone’s prowess is enhanced by Huawei Device’s proprietary power management technology which provides a longer battery life of up to 30% compared to industry average by adjusting power consumption according to usage needs. It also ensures higher chipset performance and efficiency by maintaining a low chip temperature.
Measuring 64mm narrow and 8.9mm slim, the Ascend D quad is proof that good things do come in small packages. With an ultra-thin frame, the lightweight and compact smartphone’s 4.5-inch touchscreen seems to vanish into the edge, creating an 'infinity' feel and allowing an exceptionally narrow body.
