Everybody surprised during last month’s Mobile Congress 2012 event where Nokia announced the world’s first phone with a massive 41 megapixel camera. This resolution in fact tops most DSLRs and the professional high-end cameras. Well, megapixels don’t matter at all after a certain point. Read on… Before discussing about the latest Nokia phone hype, read what exactly a megapixel (MP or Mpx) from Wikipedia - “A megapixel (MP or Mpx) is one million pixels, and is a term used not only for the number of pixels in an image, but to express the number of image sensor elements of digital cameras or the number of display elements of digital displays. For example, a camera that makes a 2048 × 1536 pixel image typically uses a few extra rows and columns of sensor elements and is commonly said to have “3.2 megapixels” or “3.3 megapixels”, depending on whether the number reported is the “effective” or the “total” pixel count (as opposed to the 2048 × 1536 = 3,145,728 finished image pixels).” ...

Before Apple’s event today, there were number of speculations that this ‘Resolutionary’ (that’s what Apple is calling it on its official website) device is called as ‘iPad 3’ or ‘iPad HD’. But, Apple just named this new product as just ‘The new iPad’. Perfect! This naming convention makes sense if you think for long term. Just think about in future, does iPhone 13 or iPad 16 makes sense to you? This also makes sense if you think about the iPhone series. The current iPhone 4S is actually the fifth generation iPhone device, and the next iPhone series is the sixth generation and Apple may call it as iPhone 5. Err, may be or completely not. Hope Apple call the next iPhone just ‘iPhone’, instead of iPhone 5. This is just similar to MacBooks, iMacs or Apple TVs. ...
