The next generation of Nokia Lumia handsets may boast Canon camera tech

Microsoft and Canon have announced a broad cross-licensing agreement which, potentially, could see Canon’s optics, lens and image processing technology find a way into future Nokia Lumia smartphones.

The pact, announced earlier this week, allows the companies free access to each other’s patent portfolios, including “certain digital imaging and mobile consumer products.”
Nokia mobile phones and then smartphones have long been renowned for their advanced imaging technology, such as the 41-megapixel Pureview devices like the Nokia Lumia 1020.
The addition of Canon tech could give Microsoft an imaging advantage over Apple and Android manufacturers like Samsung and HTC moving forward.

Possibilities

Traditionally Nokia had deployed Carl Zeiss lenses on its high-end smartphones, while pioneering its own market-leading sensors, such as the DSLR-sized one within the Pureview range.
Nokia has also pushed out some fine imaging software in recent years, with its ever improving Nokia Camera app leading the way.
Meanwhile, Microsoft may be envisioning the Canon partnership as a means of enhancing the Kinect sensor while, for Canon, could a Windows-powered digital camera be in the way?

Three Reminders For Successful Blog Promotion

how to do blog promotion
Add captionThree Reminders For Successful Blog Promotion


Some bloggers start their blog based on the passion of sharing information and their point of view with anyone who cares to read. Other bloggers write purely as a way to supplement their wallets.  With either reason, blogs must be promoted. A great post won�t get very far without a little nudging to ensure eyeballs around the world get an opportunity to read it.

Networking is an often overlooked offline method for blog promotion. Make sure the URL of your blog is included on your next order of 
business card printing.  You never know who you will run into and being able to hand them your business card with your blog information can help spread the word of your blogging endeavors.
Social Media is an obvious must for bloggers.  With the sharp rise and domination of Facebook and Twitter, most bloggers are already utilizing this technique. With the recent launch of Google +, blog owners will want to incorporate this into their marketing as well.  A great viral promotion can increase page views exponentially.
Link Building is also crucial to building up a blog�s readership base. All blog owners must build links on reputable sites within the same niche.  The more quality links a blog owner has pointing to their site, the better off they are. Quality links can be hard to come by, so it�s important to spend a little time on this portion.

Using the right tactics a blog owner can increase the traffic, quality and readership. The end result will be that the blog has more authority in the eyes of both readers and search engines alike.
