There’s really no higher compliment a cameraphone can receive than when a professional team of photographers is blown away by the results they’re able to achieve when using it, so Nokia’s N8 gets a well-earned tip of the hat for shooting the December / January cover of South African photography mag PiX. In the team’s own words, “we wanted to show that it is not the hardware that makes a good photographer but rather the technical execution of an idea” — very true, we think, but it obviously doesn’t hurt when you know your way around Photoshop and you’re using just about the best-equipped camera on the smartphone market today. See the pretty stunning final result (and the making-of video) after the break.

It’s official . Sony and Toshiba just issued a press release saying that the two companies have signed a binding memorandum of understanding to transfer Tosh’s fabrication facilities, operated by Nagasaki Semiconductor Manufacturing, back to Sony. A deal that is rumored to cost Sony some 50 billion yen (about $835 million) — a bargain considering that Sony sold the facilities that manufacture the Cell Broadband Engine, RSX graphics engine, and other SoCs to Toshiba for 90 billion Yen back in 2008 . Unfortunately, Sony’s being coy about its plans for the new facilities. The two hope to complete the transfer sometime in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012.
