New High-End Image Sensors with Backside Illumination to Further Enhance Cinematography & Digital Photography
TowerJazz, The Soitec Group, the world’s leading supplier of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) and other engineered substrates for the microelectronics industry, announced today that they have signed an agreement that will enable a turn-key solution for high-end backside illuminated (BSI) CMOS image sensors (CIS). Backside illumination is fast gaining traction in the image sensor market for its higher resolution, smaller pixels that capture far more light, higher quantum efficiency (QE), and improved performance.

The first rumors about the Motorola Zeppelin smartphone seem to suggest an Android 1.5, while we had at first expected it to be an Android version 2.
