Leaked Photos of Motorola ZN5 Suggest Kodak Camera Partnership

More photos have emerged of Motorola's upcoming ZN5, and apparently suggest that the 5-megapixel camera is in fact a Kodak-built unit. The photos look pretty genuine, and certainly tally with the images leaked in April, so what else can we tell from them? The phone looks to be fairly slim, has a curious almost "buttonless" keypad, a purple camera shortcut key and a xenon flash alongside the autofocus camera unit. Could this compete with the likes of Sony's Cybershot camera phones, and help dig Motorola out of its current mess? Check out the gallery to see more, including a photo supposedly taken with it and a screenshot that suggests the camera can shoot in RAW format. [KeySJ.com via Reg hardware]

Remember that sleek black cellphone from LG we wrote about earlier this month? More details are emerging, most notably that the KF750 shoots DivX video at 120 frames per second, and sports face-recognition technology on that 5-megapixel camera, as well as having haptic feedback, mobile Google apps and Bluetooth. Oh, and one for Conan O'Brien—its name is *whispers* Secret. Full press release after the jump. More »

Quadband GSM Wristphone from Epoq Charges Kinetically

The EGP-WP88 from Epoq is the first GSM wristphone that actually looks like a watch. Waterproof to 50 meters, the WP88 has a kinetic recharge system, meaning you can charge it just by walking around, and boasts a 1.3-megapixel camera, OLED display, plays MP3 and MP4 files and can transfer data via either USB or Bluetooth. You get between two and two-and-a-half-hours' talk time, and 70 to 100 hours' standby. Costing $530, the Epoq WP88 goes on sale on March 1. [GadgetCraver via UberGizmo]

Casio Phone is Waterproof, Rocks 5 Megapixel Camera, 4 Colors and All Sorts of Sexy Extras

One of the big Oh Noes about working for Giz is getting to see sexy new phones, enjoying a quickening of the pulse and then thinking, "Buggerama," as you realize that said sodding cell is only available in Japan. Casio's W61CA uses Exilim technology to give you a five-megapixel camera that will survive rainstorms and being dunked in the bath. No surprise then, that it's being marketed as a sports phone, and comes in that sizzling yellow shade so beloved of Akio Morita. Full specs are below. More »

Sony Ericsson W760 Walkman Phone With GPS, 3.2-megapixel Camera

The Pitch: Sony Ericsson's W760 GPS phone's got a 3.2-megapixel camera, FM radio, TrackID song identification, TrackID Charts and gaming.
The Catch: If you don't need GPS, it's fairly similar to previous Sony Ericsson phones and may not be worth the price premium.

Motorola Z12 Zine 5-Megapixel Cameraphone Spy Shot

This leaked spy shot of an upcoming 5-megapixel Motorola/Kodak cameraphone seems to confirm the rumor that MotoZINE was the name for Motorola's upcoming multimedia phone series. According to IT168.com, the Z12 is going to be announced in Q1 2008 under the ZiNE brand, and will have either a candybar or a slider form factor and a Kodak-branded camera on the back. Other rumors have it that the phone may even have GPS or Wi-Fi in it as well. As long as Moto puts enough good parts inside (5-megapixel camera, GPS, etc.), we don't care if they stick to their tired four-letter naming scheme. [it168 via Unwired View]

Emailing the Father of the Camera Phone as He Sails Across the Great Blue Pacific

"Your uncle Invented the Camera Phone!?" is what I said before a friend introduced me to Philippe Kahn. Back in 1997, Kahn hacked together a camera phone to easily send photos of his newborn daughter to family and friends. That piece of lore is gadget history 101. What many people don't realize is that Philippe is also a fanatic sailor. We're not talking cushy megayachts: Kahn engages in top level competitive racing, in 2003 beating Roy Disney to win the Transpac race from Long Beach to Hawaii. As we speak, he's on the same journey in a smaller, lithe, double-handed (two man) on the Team Pegasus Open 50, making a play for the speed record. We just emailed him...and mid race, he wrote back.

Geek Squad, Attempting First Look at Naked Female, Gets Busted


Apparently some members of Best Buy's Geek Squad have never seen a naked woman before. One of them, Hao Kuo Chi (pictured at right), decided to start up his cellphone video camera and place it in the bathroom just before his unsuspecting customer hopped into the shower. Only when she stepped out did she notice the cellphone's recording light winking at her naked pubes. More »

Cameraphone Tripod Helps You Take Better Crappy Shots

Nothing bugs me more than going to a concert/show and seeing a bunch of people hold up their Chocolates and Treos as they try to take blurry, dark pictures of whatever it is I'm trying to watch. Why people would wanna save such crap images on their phone is beyond me, but maybe these are the same people that would invest in something like this. The Cellpod is a tripod for your cameraphone designed to help you take blur-free shots. It clips onto your phone via its holster or with an adhesive mount. It'll cost you $25, though if you're that concerned about your photos, maybe it's time to upgrade to a better cameraphone. – Louis Ramirez More »

Nokia N93 Used To Shoot Entire Music Video

The Nokia N93 cameraphone is so good, Rob Dickinson (former lead singer of Catherine Wheel) used it to shoot the entirety of the music video to his song Oceans. The N93 can take VGA video at 30FPS, which is quality enough for broadcast, and decent enough for a so-so music video. More »

Motion DSP's Military Technology to Help End Grainy Video

A start-up company by the name of Motion DSP has come up with a method for turning low resolution, barely viewable videos from camera phones and the like into a high quality, high resolution cinematic tour de force (or close to it). The technology, which was originally developed for military uses, attempts to "recreate" data in a video clip using the company's special algorithms, resulting in video that looks pretty darn good. The company's Web site has a couple of video samples to let your own eyes be the judge. More »

LG KG920 5-Megapixel Camerphone Gets Official

Way back in February we first heard word of a pretty fancy phone from LG. The LG KG920 is more of a digital camera that includes phone functionality than a cameraphone. Well, there is some good news and some bad news about this the KG920. The good news is that this phone, six months later, is finally ready for an August release and we have a ho-hum list of specifications. The bad news, it is only available in Europe.
