--------SONY’s new 8MP Cyber-shot® DSC-N1 DigiCam-------- SAN DIEGO, Oct. 3, 2005 —Sony adds more enjoyment and value to your digital photography with its new full-featured compact digital camera with built-in photo sharing functions that goes beyond just picture taking. About the size of a deck of playing cards, the stylish Cyber-shot® DSC-N1 is a high-performance, 8-megapixel camera, with an amazingly large, 3-inch, touch-screen LCD that is rare for a compact camera of this size. The N1 features a new album function that automatically stores up to 500 of your favorite images in VGA resolution, and uses them to create dynamic slide shows with music and transition effects – in the camera. “Since the introduction of compact cameras with large LCDs, consumers have increasingly been using their cameras to not only capture moments, but also share and show them immediately on the LCD screens,” said James Neal, director of digital imaging products at Sony Electronics. “The combination of these functions makes the N1 ‘more than just a camera’, because it takes sharing to a whole new level.” All You’ll Need in a Compact Camera Take pictures with the confidence that you’ll get excellent picture quality. With the DSC-N1’s 8-megapixel Super HAD™ CCD, its resolution is extraordinary for a compact camera. The camera’s Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar® lens lets you capture images with the utmost sharpness and clarity. Sony’s Real Imaging Processor® LSI provides excellent color accuracy and incredibly fast response times. Its advanced power management system delivers long battery life; up to 270 shots per charge (actual battery life depends on usage conditions). With shutter lag minimized to just 9 milliseconds, you won’t miss life’s most important moments. Moreover, the N1 offers excellent ISO sensitivity, which is of particular importance when shooting in low-light conditions. You can capture faster action at night with less blur or, in certain conditions, avoid using a flash altogether. With an optional Memory Stick PRO Duo™ media card, shooting high-quality video is a breeze. MPEG-VX fine mode allows you to record MPEG video with 640x480 pixel resolution at 30 frames per second, up to the capacity of a compatible media card. Your Pictures on the Big Screen Now showing pictures to your friends and family is even more enjoyable. The Cyber-shot N1’s 3.0-inch LCD screen is almost the size of an actual photograph – large enough for easy viewing. The camera’s menu functions are accessible with your finger or thumb, and its innovative touch-screen interface reduces the need for traditional keys next to the LCD, allowing for a large screen in a very compact body. With Sony’s Clear Photo® LCD technology, your images will be bright, with high-contrast, and easy to view in virtually any environment. Store Up to 500 of Your Favorite Photos The N1’s album function automatically stores up to 500 of your favorite images for a “pocket full of memories.” By recording each image separately, once in full-resolution and again in 640x480-resolution, your favorite images accumulate for easy recall and sharing wherever you go. When you release the shutter, the full-resolution image is saved to an optional Memory Stick Duo™ media card or in the camera’s 26MB of internal memory. Automatically, the image is resized to 640x480 and stored in the portion of the camera’s internal memory dedicated to the album. Because you will take hundreds or perhaps thousands of pictures with your N1, the album function lets you protect the images you want to keep, so that over time you will have a collection of your favorite photos with you wherever you go. And with the camera’s file management system, you can quickly locate your images; simply search for pictures by the month and date that you originally created them. To expand your playback options, you can view your photos on your television, through the optional Cyber-shot Station™ cradle, or on your PC. You decide how to share your photos, Sony lets you do it. For even greater personalization of your photos, the DSC-N1 model also has a distinctive paint function that let’s you draw symbols or words on the pictures in your album using your finger or the supplied stylus. Dynamic Slide Shows Without a PC Now you can bring your photos to life with this latest model’s slide show function. The N1 creates slide shows directly on the camera without using a PC. Images can be played back with such advanced features as transitions, pans, wipes, fades and zooms, choreographed to pre-loaded soundtracks. You can also use your own music, using the camera’s supplied software. With the camera’s built-in speaker, your slide shows are sure to have that cinematic effect with sound to complete the experience. More for Your Memories Sony has even more ideas for enjoying your camera’s pictures and sharing them with family and friends. Connect the N1 model to a Sony DPP-FP50 digital photo printer and make prints at home or turn them into postcards or even calendars. If you need to print tens or even hundreds of pictures, or want to share funny video clips, Sony’s online photo service can make the job simple. At www.imagestation.com, you can create your own online photo and video albums, order prints, or make customized gifts from coffee mugs and photo books to calendars and T-shirts. --------Sony Cyber-shot DSC-N1 specifications-------- Sensor • 1/1.8" Super HAD CCD • 8.0 million pixels total • 8.1 million effective pixels Image sizes • 3264 x 2448 • 3264 x 2176 (3:2) • 2592 x 1944 • 2048 x 1536 • 1920 x 1080 (HDTV) • 1280 x 960 • 640 x 480 Movie clips • 640 x 480 @ 30 fps (Fine) * • 640 x 480 @ 16.6 fps (Standard) • 320 x 116 @ 8.3fps • With audio * Requires Memory Stick PRO Duo File formats • Still: JPEG • Movie: MPEG VX (Fine requires Memory Stick PRO Duo media) Lens • 38 - 114 mm (35 mm equiv) 3x optical zoom • F2.8 - F5.4 Digital zoom • Up to 2x • Up to 6x Smart Zoom Focus Auto focus AF area modes • 5 Area Multi-Point AF • 5 Step Manual Preset AF assist lamp Yes (On / Off) Focus distance • Min: 50 cm (19.7 in) • Macro: 6 cm (2.4 in) ISO sensitivity • Auto • ISO 64 • ISO 100 • ISO 200 • ISO 400 • ISO 800 Metering mode • Multi-pattern • Center Weighted • Spot Exposure compensation • +/-2.0 EV • 1/3 EV steps Shutter speed 30 - 1/1000 sec Aperture • Wide: F2.8 - F8 • Tele: F5.4 - F16 Scene modes • Beach • Candle • Fireworks • Landscape • Magnifying Glass • Snow • Soft Snap • Twilight • Twilight Portrait White balance • Auto • Daylight • Cloudy • Fluorescent • Incandescent • Flash Self timer 10 sec Continuous shooting 4 shot (8 MP JPEG fine) 0.9 fps Image parameters • Sharpness: -,0,+ • Saturation: -,0,+ • Contrast: -,0,+ Flash • Auto, on, off, slow synchro, red-eye reduction • Range: 0.2 - 5.0 m (0.6 - 16.4 ft) LCD monitor • 3.0" TFT Touch-screen LCD • 230K pixels • Wide viewing angle Histogram • Live view • Playback Connectivity • AV out • USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed) • DC-IN Print compliance PictBridge Storage • Memory Stick Duo • Memory Stick PRO Duo Power Lithium-Ion NP-BG1 battery Weight • Unloaded: 113 g (3.98 oz) • Loaded: 139 g (4.8 oz) Dimensions: 94 x 60 x 20 mm (3.7 x 2.4 x 0.8 in) The camera comes supplied with a Lithium Ion battery, battery charger, multi-connector cable, wrist strap, stylus, and software CD-ROM.

In Kolkata the most reliable network is Hutch. No call drops, no coverage probs, no disconnections. How is Orange in Mumbai?

Pls don't forget to bring them to Kolkata if you visit here at any point of time dudes. I love 'em and you'll love what I have. GMail rocks. For uploading files there are other non-email based servers which are more reliable I think.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) recently finalised a broadband economy report: Vision 2010. All in all, it’s about the world looking at broadband in a big way! Speaking of the FCC move, it has sought information on how the Commission should define advanced telecommunications capability, whether advanced telecommunications capability is being deployed to all Americans, whether the current level of broadband deployment is reasonable and timely, and what actions, if any, can be taken to accelerate broadband deployment. Interestingly, it’s not India alone that looks at international models before deployment of any new technology, be it direct-to-home broadcasting or broadband. The FCC too wants details on trends in other nations and how America’s deployment of advanced telecommunications capability affects its role in a global economy, according to a recent new release issued by the Commission. Meanwhile, India’s vision, as per the CII report, is to make the country among the top five broadband countries in the world by 2010. To put things in perspective, the CII National Broadband Economy Committee has defined broadband as “an always-on network capable of providing interactive voice, data and video services on public networks". If you’re looking at speed, the committee has said that there should be at least two tiers of service. While the true broadband would be capable of providing minimum asymmetric bandwidth of 1.5 Mbps, a “lite” version would provide 256 kbps. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This URL http://www.chillingeffects.org seems to be great. Where did u get info about this site city02?

What about the installation charges?

Even I didn't. Same is with my friends. But a peculiar thing is that we people are avoiding access of R-World in fear of being charged any time. We are not very unaware of the ill-famous billing of RIM!

You'll wonder to see the adamancy and idifference towards CC-guys instructions among the WW guys!

Doesn't matter much for me. I've already seen CC branche opened in WebWorld Park Street at Kolkata but WW doesn't follow their instructions/directions. Seen a lot of customers being redirected to CC brach office nearby and the CC ppl out their resolving their issues but WW guys are not following the steps to resolve the issues.

What is your expectation from R-World and experience in R-World in this festive season?

In Kolkata, only Hutch customers are fully satisfied with their Network within the city. Seems that Hustch is preparing to encash their depandability in the whole state. My best wishes.

Is there any steps being taken from the administrative end?

As it seems Ashok, you need to access R-World>Messaging>MMS to read MMS. This access may be chargeable.

While downloading with LG RD2030, a maximum of 10KBps (80kbps) and while using Samsung SCH N-191 15KBps (120kbps) is available in Kolkata for me.

Google Earth with R-Connect!

And if you want to start you PC before Connecting/Downloading, check for BIOS settings and manage Wake Up time there.

If this is a Palmtop....... ... then which one would you call a Laptop?

What is Cartel? A nexus or something alike?

That's great offer!

I believe life is a celebration. A celebration of our existence. I still believe life is a celestial gift showered to a soul once in a lifetime & it is an opportunity to smell all the essence of being, it is a chance to watch the spectacular beauty of all the creations both living and non-living! Above all, it is but a boon to live on this wonderful planet with wonderful people like you (and me of course). So why do I live? The celebration goes on. That's all about my ID.

The original site qBeo.com is down. I don't think this software is available any more. Can you pls specify the URL you've downloaded the s/w from?

So pls vote on the basis of your experience and usage of R-World as well as the compatibility of the handset you are using.
