    Zoom Lenses for Phone Cameras

    Believe it or not, there was actually a time when if your phone could make a call, you were lucky. Now, we have inbuilt radio, organisers, video recordings, and soon mobile phones with optical zoom, thanks to liquid lens technology. CNN reports:
    Varioptic's liquid lens, which can focus on objects as close as five centimeters without moving mechanical parts, are expected to be commercially available by the end of this year, Chief Executive Etienne Paillard told Reuters in an interview on the fringes of the conference.

    The zoom function, which will be shown in a prototype at the CeBIT electronics trade show in Germany next month, will probably be ready for commercial introduction by the second half of 2006, Paillard said.
    Have a read of the latest news from the 3GSM show in Cannes over at CNN.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
