Its groundbreaking performance is jointly fueled by a 1 GHz dual-core processor and the new BlackBerry Tablet OS which supports true symmetric multiprocessing. Together, the abundant processing power and highly sophisticated OS enable the BlackBerry PlayBook to provide users with true multitasking and a highly-responsive and fluid touch screen experience for apps and content services.
Uncompromised Web Browsing
With support for Adobe Flash Player 10.1, Adobe Mobile AIR and HTML-5, the BlackBerry PlayBook provides customers with an uncompromised, high-fidelity web experience and offers them the ability to enjoy all of the sites, games and media on the web. For more than a decade, the mobile industry has worked to bridge the gap between the "real web" and mobile devices through various apps and technologies and, in fact, a significant number of mobile apps today still simply serve as a proxy for web content that already exists on the web. The BlackBerry PlayBook closes that gap and brings the real, full web experience to mobile users while also opening new and more exciting opportunities for developers and content publishers.
High Performance Multimedia
The BlackBerry PlayBook features premium multimedia features to support high-quality mobile experiences. It includes dual HD cameras for video capture and video conferencing that can both record HD video at the same time, and an HDMI-out port for presenting one's creations on external displays. The BlackBerry PlayBook also offers rich stereo sound and a media player that rivals the best in the industry.
BlackBerry Integration
For those BlackBerry PlayBook users who carry a BlackBerry smartphone*, it will also be possible to pair their tablet and smartphone using a secure Bluetooth connection. This means they can opt to use the larger tablet display to seamlessly and securely view any of the email, BBM, calendar, tasks, documents and other content that resides on (or is accessible through) their smartphone. They can also use their tablet and smartphone interchangeably without worrying about syncing or duplicating data. This secure integration of BlackBerry tablets and smartphones is a particularly useful feature for those business users who want to leave their laptop behind.
Enterprise Ready
Thanks to the seamless and secure Bluetooth pairing experience and the highly secure underlying OS architecture, the BlackBerry PlayBook is enterprise ready and compatible (out-of-the-box) with BlackBerry Enterprise Server. When connected over Bluetooth, the smartphone content is viewable on the tablet, but the content actually remains stored on the BlackBerry smartphone and is only temporarily cached on the tablet (and subject to IT policy controls). With this approach to information security, IT departments can deploy the BlackBerry PlayBook to employees out-of-the-box without worrying about all the security and manageability issues that arise when corporate data is stored on yet another device.
QNX Neutrino Reliability
The BlackBerry Tablet OS is built upon the QNX Neutrino microkernel architecture, one of the most reliable, secure and robust operating system architectures in the world. Neutrino has been field hardened for years and is being used to support mission-critical applications in everything from planes, trains and automobiles to medical equipment and the largest core routers that run the Internet. The new BlackBerry Tablet OS leverages and builds upon the many proven strengths of this QNX Neutrino architecture to support a professional grade tablet experience and to redefine the possibilities for mobile computing.
An OS Built for Developers
The Neutrino based microkernel architecture in the BlackBerry Tablet OS delivers exceptional performance, high scalability, Common Criteria EAL 4+ security, and support for industry standard tools that are already familiar to hundreds of thousands of developers. The OS is fully POSIX compliant enabling easy portability of C-based code, supports Open GL for 2D and 3D graphics intensive applications like gaming, and will run applications built in Adobe Mobile AIR as well as the new BlackBerry WebWorks app platform announced today (which will allow apps to be written to run on BlackBerry PlayBook tablets as well as BlackBerry smartphones with BlackBerry 6). The BlackBerry Tablet OS will also support Java enabling developers to easily bring their existing BlackBerry 6 Java applications to the BlackBerry Tablet OS environment.

Fujifilm has proudly launched the FinePix Z700EXR, the first in a new class of EXR touch screen digital camera. Combining beautiful styling, Fujifilm’s award-winning EXR sensor technology and a gorgeous 3.5” Wide (16:9) High Resolution Touch Screen, the FinePix Z700EXR offers consumers the latest digital imaging technology combined with a new YouTube/Facebook easy web upload tool wrapped up in a sleek, sophisticated package.
Available in a choice of black, red or pink, the FinePix Z700EXR combines a massive 3.5” LCD with a 12-MegaPixel Super CCD EXR sensor, a Fujinon 5x Periscopic optical zoom lens (36-180mm equivalent) and ISO levels of up to 1600 at full resolution. Housed inside a full metal chassis, the FinePix Z700EXR will fit in any pocket or purse at only 16.9 mm1 thin and features a smart horizontal lens cover with wave detail, which neatly acts as the on/off switch and an LED “Z” that lights up when the camera is in operation.
According to Kenichi Tanaka, Managing Director, FUJIFILM India, “We are very proud to launch Z700 in India. For our customers, we know that every picture matters, and that’s why we continue to invest in developing new technologies that will meet the various expectations of our customers and help to broaden their photographic experiences.”
A. Rajkumar, Country General Manager, said, “Fujifilm has yet again proved itself. We know our customers very well and we are confident that both professional and amateur photographers will appreciate the superiority of this technology compared to other offerings in this category.”
Touch Screen Technology:
The FinePix Z700EXR’s real talking point is its intuitive touch screen technology. The rich 460k-pixel 3.5” touch screen display panel facilitates effortless navigation of the camera’s many functions. This responsive touch screen not only lets you take and view photos with the touch of a finger, but also provides a large, bright screen to compose and view your photos.
With the addition of new Dual Direction GUI and Dual Image Display, travelling though the FinePix Z700EXR’s functions are smooth and easy. Dual Direction GUI detects the orientation of the camera and automatically switches the direction of the menu button accordingly (for shooting, playback, multi-viewing and image search), while Dual Image Display splits the screen in various ways to view multiple images at once, so you can scroll through your images quickly and easily to locate the one you are looking for.
HD Capability:
The FinePix Z700EXR also offers stunning HD movie in 720p with sound and high quality stills playback. Many consumers are happy to enjoy HD movies on their PC, but with the new HD Player (optional extra), which comes equipped with a remote control, families can gather around their home HDTV to enjoy amazingly detailed stills and high resolution movie playback.
Face Recognition Technology:
For the first time on a Fujifilm digital camera you can identify the people in a picture by name! Fujifilm’s Face Recognition Technology gives you the ability to pre-program 8 people into the camera. To do this, you start by taking a picture of the person you want to program into the camera and then tell the camera who that person is (e.g. Mom). You also have the option of inputting the category she belongs to (e.g. friends/family) and the date of her birthday. The next time you take a photo of her, the camera will cleverly recognize “Mom” and optimize the settings to ensure that exposure and focus are best suited to her, rather than the other people in the picture.
In addition, the FinePix Z700EXR’s new Picture Search Tool is able to use the Face Recognition data (name, birthday and category) to help you find and playback your photographs quickly and easily. If you want to scroll through all pictures featuring “Mom” for example, the camera will be able to select them for you for easy viewing.
Easy Web Upload:
Fujifilm has also introduced a new Facebook/YouTube Automatic Upload feature which is perfectly suited for consumers who want to share their pictures and videos more easily. Users can mark their favorite images and videos for Facebook or YouTube upload so they are all ready to go when they next connect to their computer. No more time is wasted sorting through pictures on the computer – just connect to MyFinePix Studio (supplied with the camera) and all marked images and videos will upload directly to the respective site at the press of a button.
FUJIFILM FinePix Z700EXR Features:
- EXR Technology: Prized for bringing a new level of image quality to the consumer compact market, Fujifilm’s EXR technology has the unique ability to switch its behavior depending on the shooting conditions. The FinePix Z700EXR can be left on EXR Auto Mode and the camera will do all the hard work for you, or alternatively, you can manually select the EXR Priority mode for high resolution (HR), dynamic range (DR) or high sensitivity and low noise (SN).
- Touch Shot: Provides the ability for one touch focus and shooting for easy photo taking. After the user taps the focal point of choice for the shooting scene on the LCD display, the camera automatically sets the appropriate focus and functions, and then releases the shutter for optimal one touch picture taking.
- Automatic Scene Recognition: ‘SR Auto Mode’ intelligently detects the scene type you are shooting and optimizes the camera’s focus, exposure and white balance, so whether you’re photographing flowers or a holiday landscape, you will get flawless photos at the press of a button.
- Dual Image Stabilization: Long-zoom cameras need stabilization more than any other compact, with handshake and subject movement a particular problem in low light at telephoto range. The FinePix Z700EXR reduces blur to a minimum by deploying Picture Stabilization to automatically increase shutter speeds to freeze action, and mechanical CCD Sensor Shift Stabilization to counteract the problems of handshake. By cleverly combining these two, blur is reduced to an absolute minimum.
- ‘Super Intelligent’ Flash: The FinePix Z700EXR offers a flash control system which efficiently controls the level of flash for a given exposure to produce beautifully balanced flash illumination across the foreground and background. Gone are the ugly washout shots where the subject is blasted with light and the background dark and unexposed. Super Intelligent Flash is most useful in macro photography where the contrast between subject and background can be especially challenging, but is also effective for night and backlit photography.
- Face Detection and Automatic Red-eye Removal: To provide perfectly exposed and focused portrait shots, the FinePix Z700EXR is fitted with Fujifilm’s latest Face Detection technology which is able to track up to 10 faces simultaneously, at almost any angle to the camera. The system instantly corrects red-eye and then saves both the original and the corrected image file automatically.
FUJIFILM Finepix Z700 Camera Price in India: Rs. 12999/-

Models with discrete graphics in the F-Series all come equipped with the nVIDIA GeForce GT 325M discrete graphics card with 1GB GDDR3 of display memory bestowing them with high performance graphics processing capabilities. This is coupled with MSI’s own GPU Boost technology which automatically switches graphics processing modes. When you are using applications that require high performance graphics processing, the system automatically cuts over to the powerful discrete graphics mode to bolster graphics processing to maximize the multimedia experience. When performing tasks that don’t load the system down, like word processing and web surfing, the system automatically reverts back to the integrated graphics chip mode, greatly reducing power consumption. GPU Boost technology strikes an ideal balance between performance and battery life.
Despite using high performance processors and an internal DVD Super-Multi CD-ROM, the MSI F-Series still boasts extended battery life. MSI’s exclusive ECO engine power saving technology gives the F-Series more than twice the per-charge battery time of conventional Notebooks. Furthermore, ECO engine power saving technology allows you to select from among five power management levels—Gaming, Movie, Presentation, Office, and Turbo Battery, automatically adjusting display brightness, on/off switch, sleep mode, and processor performance settings, to maximize battery flexibility and per-charge use time.
Multimedia:
MSI's consummate craftsmanship coupled with the capabilities of world leaders in sound system design Dynaudio and THX have produced notebook computers with the ultimate in sound, so the sound experience from the F-Series is like never heard before in a notebook computer.
The extreme focus on details comes to fore in the design. Even the location of speakers has been precisely calculated to realize unparalleled sound performance. The sound technology incorporated into the FX700 was realized as a result of close collaboration with Dynaudio, extensive study, and countless calculations to determine the ideal locations for speakers to obtain obstruction-free sound transmission.
THX, the internationally renowned authority in sound system technology, worked closely with MSI in the designing of the entire MSI F-Series. The resulting high quality theater-grade surround sound speakers reproduce high fidelity sound regardless of music type and frequency range. This is then adjusted with the Smart Volume and Surround technologies to create a surround sound environment tailor-made for you.
MSI's F series boasts powerful hardware and world-class sound technology, so you can enjoy clean, crisp picture and sound. You can instantly switch to film mode for clearer pictures with richer colors with just one touch of the Cinema Pro button.

The brilliant chrome-plated MSI logo set in the center of the cover accentuates the textured sheer black finish exuding a refined elegance. The no-peel, textured color film print coating protects against scratching and wear, while adding that extra touch of class.
Similar craftsmanship went into the design of the inside cover and the wrist-rest areas, underscoring the overall design balance of the F-Series. In addition, details on F-Series notebooks, including high tech raised points on the touchpad and unassuming matte platinum trim around the base and speakers imbue the notebooks with class heretofore found only in fine works of art.
MSI F-Series Notebooks Prices Range from Rs. 37,000 to Rs. 53,000 depending on the model and configuration.
