The megapixel race seems to show no sign of slowing down – what with many 8MP cameraphones to be available in the coming months – one being available now – the i8510, from Samsung. Now, the first 9MP unit is available – all that’s left to do is for a phone manufacturer to implement it into a handset. Developed by Digital Imaging Systems, it’s capable of shooting still images at a maximum resolution of 3488 x 2616. It also sports ultra-fast autofocus, and a mechanical shutter. Commercial units will be available to manufacturers from the end of the year.
