Best known for making the 3.2-megapixel camera inside the Apple handset, the mini-camera designer is warning its other customers that supply will be tight until at least late November as Apple is consuming much of its stock. Other sources for DigiTimes add that iPhone 3GS orde... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/27/omnivision.says.iphone.3gs.demand.high/ Tue, 27 Oct 2009 13:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/22/samsung.1ghz.arm.cortex.a8/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0909/samsungarm1ghz.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Samsung this morning unveiled a pair of components that could give smartphones 1080p video playback and capture. The S5PC110 (not pictured) is based on ARM's faster Cortex-A8 architecture but can run at 1GHz even in the tight space of a smartphone; the feat is achieved through a 45 nanometer manufacturing process that keeps it relatively cool and power-efficient. Running it past even the 833MHz ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/22/samsung.1ghz.arm.cortex.a8/ Tue, 22 Sep 2009 11:55:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/27/ipod.classic.camera.leak/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0908/ipodtouch3g-leak.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Apple's widely expected camera-equipped iPods could include the iPod classic as well as the already suspected iPod nano and iPod touch, market contacts claimed Thursday. OmniVision, which supplies iPhone 3GS cameras, is reported by DigiTimes as having been picked by Apple to also supply 3.2-megapixel cameras for all three of its iPods with screens, including the hard drive-based classic. All thr... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/27/ipod.classic.camera.leak/ Thu, 27 Aug 2009 12:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/25/omnivision.ov2710.1080p/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0908/omnivisionov2710.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />OmniVision today unveiled a new sensor that could make 1080p video capture widespread in mobile devices for the near future. The OV2710 can record the HD resolution at 30 frames per second but is notable for using a 2-megapixel sensor that matches the video format. As a result, a device with the sensor doesn't need the expense and image cropping of a larger sensor and gets better performance in ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/25/omnivision.ov2710.1080p/ Tue, 25 Aug 2009 14:10:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/25/omnivision.1080p.phone.cam/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0906/omnivisionov5650.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />OmniVision on Thursday added new camera sensors that could have significance for future smartphones, including the iPhone. The OV5650 can handle 5-megapixel still shooting but is more impressive in video capture, the company says: it can record full 1080p video at 30 frames per second or scale back to 720p in exchange for 60 frames per second. It's also backlit and is roughly 40 percent better i... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/25/omnivision.1080p.phone.cam/ Thu, 25 Jun 2009 18:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/14/2009.iphone.supplier.leak/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0904/iphone3g-3.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The companies responsible for manufacturing parts in the next major iPhone release have potentially been named by industry contacts of DigiTimes that also predict ship dates and numbers. The Taiwan-area site reinforces its previous claim that OmniVision is making a 3.2-megapixel sensor for the Apple handset's camera and now says that Largan Precision is making the rest of the imaging unit. Infin... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/14/2009.iphone.supplier.leak/ Tue, 14 Apr 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/08/iphone.parts.shipping/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0904/iphone-a1303.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The various components that will go into the 2009 iPhone are reportedly being shipped for assembly. The Taiwan-area newspaper Commercial Times claims that multiple suppliers are sending their parts off for the widely assumed June launch and that shipments of iPhones themselves could range between 2-3 million in the quarter following Apple's launch; it's implied that some of these may include old ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/08/iphone.parts.shipping/ Wed, 08 Apr 2009 11:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/03/32mp.camera.for.iphone/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0809/iphone3g-5.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The next iPhone should indeed have a 3.2-megapixel camera, according to a Taiwanese industry report. Market sources claim that OmniVision has received orders from Apple for 3.2-megapixel CMOS sensors, with the specific intent of use in a new iPhone line. Aptina and STMicroelectronics are also said to have been in competition to produce the sensors.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/03/32mp.camera.for.iphone/ Fri, 03 Apr 2009 13:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/05/27/omnivision.8mp.cell.camera/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0805/nokian958gb-camera2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Omnivision today said it has developed a new camera sensor that should radically improve the quality of photography from cellphones. A variant of the company's OmniBSI chip technology allows the company to fill each individual pixel on the sensor with much more light than previously possible by literally flipping the sensor upside down and lighting its back. In doing so, the company says it can ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/05/27/omnivision.8mp.cell.camera/ Tue, 27 May 2008 13:35:00 GMT
