Nokia Beta Labs recently announced a new Camera Assistant application for the Nokia Maemo device, the N900, taking advantage of the already popular Fcam platform. HDR Capture and Low-Light Assistant are two sample imaging applications developed at Nokia Researcher Center.

The applications are based on the free open-sourceFCam platform* developed jointly by Stanford University and Nokia Research Center. Currently FCam is available for Nokia N900.

HDR Capture is a High-Dynamic-Range Imaging (HDRI) application for the Nokia N900, especially useful in situations when there is too much light, such as a portrait of a person with a bright sky behind her. The camera takes up to three images with different exposure settings and combines them to an image that shows the details of both the foreground and background objects, without under or over-exposing any of them.

*FCam is an open-source C++ API for easy and precise control of digital cameras. It allows full low-level control of all camera parameters on a per-frame basis, making it easy to rewrite the camera's autofocus routine, to capture a burst of images all with different parameters, and to synchronize the operation of the camera lens and flash with all of the above.

As you can see from the image (right) in low-light conditions without flash, this image is magically transformed using the HDR Assistant.  To see the final photos head across to Noki

No more Samsung devices will be running Symbian Operating System from now on according to YH Lee head of marketing for Samsung. "We are Prioritizing our Android platform. Android is very open and flexible, and there is a consumer demand for it," Said Lee in a recent Reuters report.

Samsung unveiled on Thursday at the trade fair its iPad rival, Galaxy Tab, which runs on latest Android software, and the Wave 723 phone, the second model to run on its own bada software. Samsung unveiled its own software platform late last year -- aiming to use it to make cheaper smartphones and attract a wider user base -- and introduced its first bada model this year.

YH Lee said the company has prepared a lineup of bada models to be launched in coming quarters. Samsung will introduce a smartphone running Microsoft's new Windows version later this year. "There is still some professional, specialized demand there," she said.

Samsung has not introduced new Symbian phones this year and YH Lee said even though the company was ready to introduce further Symbian models if consumers demand them, it had none planned.

With SilentKey by PhonePhreak Software, you can now silence your phone by just holding down the Red key (and then return to the normal profile the same way). SilentKey preserves the standard behaviour of the Red key during normal use (short keypress) unchanged. It merely adds a new functionality for holding down the key (long keypress).

With the soon-to-be release of the Nokia N8, we have compared the Nokia N8 vs Nokia N97 for you guys to see the difference between the two handsets for yourself. If you're planning on upgrading to the Nokia N8 then this is probably good reading for any perspective viewer, though if you're die-hard N97 fan it will probably have the opposite effect.

Nokia's flagship model is far superior than the Nokia N97 in terms of technology and even the material it is made out of, but whether the N8 will overhaul the N97 in the ever competitive mobile phone market remains to be seen.
