Cell Phones Focus on 4 Megapixels

Mitsubishi Electric will begin sample production next month of a digital camera module for cell phones that has a resolution of 4 megapixels, it says, reports PC World.

"The module opens the way for cell phones with digital cameras capable of higher resolutions than the 3-megapixel class models that are currently on sale in some markets.

Samples of the module will be available to customers from early November and Mitsubishi Electric expects to be able to start mass production of 700,000 modules per month in March 2005, it says. Should that schedule hold, commercial handsets featuring the module are likely to be available from about May or June next year at the earliest."
