Casio Releases EXILIM EX-H5

Casio Electronics Co. Ltd presents two new models in the EXILIM product family. Moving scenes at a distance or difficult lighting conditions are a barrier to taking good photos for many cameras. But the perfect moment pays no attention to ideal photo conditions. The new EXILIM models successfully meet this challenge. Whereas the EX-H5 expands the successful segment of hi-zoom cameras at CASIO, the EX-FH25 combines the high-speed technology with the new "high sensitivity CMOS sensor" for high-speed photo and film sequences in a quality never seen before. Both digital cameras can also record HD videos in a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels.

Casio Europe has released the Exilim EX-H5 compact superzoom with 10x (24-240mm equiv.) zoom lens. The 12.1MP image stabilized camera comes with a 2.7 inch LCD, faster Exilim Engine 5.0 processor and features 720p HD video recording. The camera will be available from the end of this month at a suggested retail price of £149.99. The company has also announced the Exilim EX-FH25 superzoom, previously available in other markets, is now available in the Europe at an SRP of £399.99.

Samsung I5801, I5500 and Acer Stream Leaked

The annual Google I/O conference is off to a nice start with a few surprising handset leaks. Samsung I5801 and I5500 were spotted along with a bunch of other known and unknown mobile phones, such as the Acer Liquid Stream, which sees daylight for the first time.

And while we know a few bits and pieces about the I5801 and I550, there's hardly anything we know about the touchscreen equipped smartphone Liquid Stream, except for the fact that it runs the Android OS.

As for the I5801 and I5500, they have already made their first public appearances… a few times. The Samsung I5801 (a.k.a. Galaxy 3) comes with a TouchWIZ-ed Eclair in the pocket as well as a GPS receiver, microSD card slot, 3.5mm audio jack and support for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. It also features a 3-megapixel snapper able to shoot QVGA videos.

The I5500 is said to be part of the Corby family and to be based on the Android v2.1 too. It should pack Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support as well and to have a GPS receiver on board. The I5500 is expected to sell for around 200 euro which sounds like a fair price for an Android-powered device sporting all those features.

There is still no information of the expected availability and price of the other two.

Versace Unique ; touch and fashion

Yet another fashion brand joined the luxury mobile phones bandwagon today. Versace announced their Unique touch-driven phone, which was developed in cooperation with ModeLabs Group and LG.

The face of the hand-crafted (did you really expect something else?) Versace Unique is constructed from ceramic or handmade lacquers, while the frame options include 18K yellow gold finish or 316L grade stainless steel inlay.

The leather back is embossed with the all too familiar Medusa head logo. The Versace Unique sapphire crystal screen is the largest single piece of this high-tech material ever produced for consumers. Scratch-resistant and all, it should provide the ultimate protection for the Unique 3-inch touchscreen of yet unknown resolution.

The other features of the Versace Unique, which geeks might find interesting are its 5 megapixel camera and 3G support. The (probably ridiculously overpriced) handset will start shipping next month.

Samsung Champ C3300K

Samsung isn't letting high end gadgets like the Galaxy S to go to their heads. The newly announced Samsung C3300K Champ will bring affordable touchscreen experience to developing markets and Samsung hopes it will become as popular as one of their bestsellers - the Samsung S5230 Star.

The Samsung C3300K Champ takes the Corby formula and simplifies it even further. The Champ is relatively compact and has a 2.4" QVGA resistive touchscreen - marginally smaller than the one on the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 mini. The phone runs TouchWiz Lite, which features a homescreen with widgets arranged in a 3x3 grid.

Another part that seems integral to the TouchWiz experience lately is the social networking integration, so it's included in the Samsung C3300K Champ UI too along with Samsung Apps integration and Java support.

The Samsung C3300K Champ packs a 1000mAh battery, which is enough for 666 hours of standby and 12 hours of talk time. The durable battery will last hours of multimedia playback - radio or music, with 3D sound effects through the stereo speakers.

A microSD card slot for cards up to 8GB and a 3.5mm audio jack complement the multimedia features of the Champ.

The Samsung C3300 Champ is goot at playing music

As far as connectivity is concerned, the C3300K Champ offers the necessary basics - quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, Bluetooth 2.1 and USB. It also features a 1.3MP camera, which can also record QCIF videos at 15fps.

The Samsung C3300K Champ will launch in June and it will be available in Middle East, Latin America, Asia and Europe. The Champ will come in deep black, espresso brown, sweet pink or chic white color versions. There's no mention of price though, besides it being "affordable".
