A load of Nokia N9 camera and video samples surface

A load of Nokia N9 camera and video samples surface, show potential

Camera and video samples taken with the Nokia N9 MeeGo smartphone are still scarce so understandably we got pretty excited when we stumbled upon a whole bunch of them today.

The first product of the N9 camera surfaced last week, a pretty nice-looking 720p video so we are getting optimistic that Nokia can produce another great cameraphone in the N9.

The bad news is that the new shots are hardly answering many of the questions we had. They are all taken in pretty poor lighting conditions so the handset wasn’t able to show its real potential. Also it’s quite hard to compare low-light performance across different phones, when you don’t know how dark exactly it was.

Still we got the following two shots, which compare the N9 performance to the N8 Nokia cameraphone flagship and we are glad to see that the MeeGo champion does pretty well. The N9 lacks the the large sensor of its sibling, but it seems that the ultra-fast f/2.2 lens is making up for it at least partially.


Nokia N9 ? Nokia N8

The Nokia N9 is not doing too bad compared to its Symbian competitor in terms of video recording as you can see from the following two samples.

And here go the rest of the Nokia N9 still samples from the Allnokia.ru preview for you to feast your eyes on.

AT&T to get 1

AT&T to get 1.5GHz HP TouchPad with the wrong kind of 4G soon

HP and AT&T just announced that the US carrier will be getting a pimped up version of the TouchPad in time for the back-to-school season. The AT&T-edition of the webOS slate will have its dual-core CPU clocked at 1.5GHz, rather than the 1.2GHz of the regular one.

The AT&T-bound TouchPad will also be packing 4G connectivity, which will make it the first version of the slate with network data connectivity. Unfortunately, this won’t be an LTE radio, but a 3G one with 21 Mbps HSPA capabilities, but that’s still cool.

We are hoping that the CPU boost will take care of the lagging issues that were widely discussed in the first batch of TouchPad reviews that surfaced. The webOS-slate implements some pretty cool UI design ideas and we’d really want to see it succeed. Not to mention that more competition always leads to better products.

AT&T didn’t comment on the TouchPad pricing, but they promised to announce them before the slate hits the shelves.
