Name: Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot W61S
Category: mobile phone
Price: Open price
Release date in Japan: May 3, 2008

Gadget lovers have been waiting a few months for this one: au's sharp-looking CDMA Cyber-shot W61S with a 5.1-megapixel autofocus camera to rival "real" cameras. The wide range of photo features includes "Kaokime Lite" face recognition tech to paint faces in the best light ("Kawaiisa (Cuteness) Up!", promises the web site), and in the ongoing evolution of face recog, "Smile Shutter Lite" - a feature that'll actually wait for the target to smile and automatically snap the shot. (Still wanted: a version that'll fix shots timed with blinking.)

Built-in GPS means the camera records the location of shots along with the usual digital photo data. The included Picture Motion Browser for organizing your photos will construct a Google Map with your photo locations pinpointed.

Camera features alone not enough to entice you? How about this, then: au Smart Sports Run & Walk, an application that lets your W61S act as your personal trainer, displaying and remembering your jogging distance, time, speed, and calories burned. GPS power lets you even see the course you ran mapped out later.

Tech details: Exmor CMOS sensor (up to ISO 1600), 3x optical zoom, macro focus (up to 3 cm), shake reduction, LED flash, automatic lens cover, 2.8 inch WVGA (480x800) screen (with Reality MAX tech borrowed from Sony's Bravia TVs), split screen for running two features at once, microSD memory, Bluetooth, GPS, EZ FeliCa (with Touch Message to exchange data among FeliCa phones by touch), 1-seg TV, TV conference (up to 5 people), au one Gadgets, and more - there's not much left out of this one. Slider-type shell in pink, white, or black.
