Sharp has introduced a new smartphone camera sensor, which it claims to be the industry's thinnest CMOS component to offer optical image stabilization.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSHARPHTCZTE
HTC has been coy about adding NFC to its smartphones to date, but that could all be about to change after the company, along with Sharp and ZTE, announced that it is joining the NFC forum.
The NFC Forum, the non-profit industry association that advances the use of Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, has confirmed that Barclaycard has also joined.
While that isn’t a pre-requisite for including the technology in the latest and greatest phones, it is one of the first steps to taking the technology seriously.
The three are a handful of the 26 new companies to join the forum that works in a similar way to the Blu-ray Disc Association.

LG, Sharp and Philips to build developer's kit, create Smart TV app standard
Like UnlikeFiled in: TVsLGPhilipsSHARP
A triumvirate of television titans -- LG, Sharp and Philips -- are joining forces to create a development kit, defining a common standard for their Smart TV apps. The power play addresses the problem of fragmentation, since developers will only need to make one version of an app for it to work across all three of the 'tubes operating systems. Based on open standards like HTML5, CE-HTML and HbbTV, developers should get their hands on a beta version by early October, with the finalized version due by the end of the year. The better question now is whether the Romanesque trio can drum up enough developer support to beat out competitors in an app-tastic coup d'etat, or if the likes of Vizio, Son...

Last week an infographic made by The Economist was floating around on the internet that we didn’t cover because … hey, there’s only so many inforgraphics you can shove in people’s faces before they get bored, right? Anyway, one of the key pieces of data in said graphic was that of the $178 worth of components that go into making an iPhone 4, $45.68 is what Apple pays to Samsung; that’s a hair over 25%.

Sony, Sharp and Fujitsu earnings all bring bad news, only Toshiba says something nice
Like UnlikeFiled in: SonyToshibaSHARPFujitsu
Plenty of Japanese earnings news today and, as with Nintendo, most of it's pretty dire. Sony's hit from the earthquake and PSN outtage has inevitably contaminated this quarter, but it's suffered from slow Bravia TV, PC and camcorder sales too. Together, these factors contributed a hefty ¥15.5 billion ($200 million) loss in the three months to the end of June, compared to a ¥25.7 billion profit for the same quarter last year.
Meanwhile, Fujitsu also lost ¥20.4 billion, which it largely attributed to a 6.7 percent decline in Japanese sales following the disaster. However, sales in other countries also fell 5.3 percent, reflecting a stronger yen and general lack of consumer demand.
