YouTube Got The Desi Style

The hugely popular online video community, YouTube, has announced the launch of its local Indian site.

YouTube India features a localized homepage and search functions, allowing them to create and share videos, discover the most popular and relevant videos in India, and connect with other Indian and global users. Eventually, YouTube India will have entirely "local" experience highlighting and featuring the content and functionality most desired by Indian users.

YouTube India features promoted videos, featured videos, and homepage promotions, localised user interface and help center, user support and community features (such as video ratings, sharing and content flagging), making it easier for the Indian YouTube community to search and view videos from India. Also, content uploaded by users in India will show up as "top favourites" and "recommended content" on the local YouTube site. The localized site also aims to facilitate connections among the large Indian NRI community.

YouTube has already signed partnerships, in India with Eros Entertainment, Rajshri Films, IIFA, Ministry of Tourism, IIT Delhi, NDTV, UTV, Zoom TV, India TV and Krishcricket.

LG Viewty Mobile Phone Boasts A 5.1 Megapixel Camera

""5 mega pixel camera + A mobile phone""
What else we need ??

LG have announced the LG Veiwty also known as the LG KU990. The LG Veiwty is a touch screen mobile phone with a screen similar to the currently available LG Prada and the soon to be released iPhone. The main selling point of the LG Veiwty is its 5.1 mega pixel camera.

Samsung recently released the G600 with a 5 mega pixel camera, the G600 also comes equipt with its own photo editor which allows you to alter your pictures on your mobile phone. Now LG have fought back with the Veiwty which comes with a 5.1 megapixel camera with flash, electronic image stabilisation, single click uploading to YouTube and Photo editing.

Not only does the LG Viewty have a better camera spec than the Samsung G600’s, but it also boasts a camera lens made by Schneider Kreuznach who are the people who make lenses for Kodak!

Another impressive but a little unnecessary feature is the Veiwtys video recorder. Videos are captured at up to 120 frames per second. This is twice as fast as the frame rate of a HDTV!

The full specification of the KU990 have not yet been released, but it is thought to be available in Q4 2007.
