First of all, what is digital video editing? It is the process when you use your computer to edit, or amend, a video footage shot through one of the many gadgets available today. For all these, you just got to have a computer at home. With a help of a computer, you can edit the video with special effects, animations, and narration and finally get what you want. There are many things you need besides a computer so that your digital video editing works smoothly. Computer storage is one of the most critical factors and you will need plenty of internal or external storage required. This is because you will need to be able to store all the raw footage you have shot and then use those raw data to edit the video and make it look like what you expect. Next, the video editing software plays an important role. This will help your digital video editing greatly, as along with the basic fact that it helps editing, it will also help you add all those special effects into your footage. Last but not least, you will need a video capture card. Capture cards help you to digitize the raw footage and transfer it to the computer. A capture card only required if the video camera is a traditional one. For the digital video cameras, no capture cards are required as the video footage is stored in the device in digital form when the recording is done. These video capture cards compress the raw footage recorded from a VCR or a digital video camera onto the hard drive.

The Sony cell phone represents the major Sony Ericsson product since, for quite some time now, the two companies associated to combine one’s expertise in consumer electronics and the other’s technological leadership in communications. The founders of Sony Corporation were Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita, however, they are not the parents of the Sony cell phone. The company’s headquarters are at Minato, Tokyo, Japan. As a corporation, Sony services a huge electronics market that includes not only phones but video stations, TV sets, computers, semiconductors, play stations and other consumer electronics as well. In 2008 the company’s operating income was US$ 4 billion and their revenue was US$ 100 billion. In March 2008 the number of employees the company had was 180,500.

Historically speaking, Sony maintains a high quality standard in the storage and recording items they provide, as they created their individual brands and products without stealing from the competition. In time, Sony has introduced standards such as: Umatic (~1968), Betamax (1975), Betacam (81), Compact Disc (82), 3.5 inch Floppy Disk (82), Video8 (85), DAT (87), Hi8 (88), Minidisc (~90), Digital Betacam (~90), MiniDV (92), Memory Stick (98), Digital8 (99), PSP Universal Media Disc (~2003), HDV (~2004), Blu-ray Disc (2006). People will therefore know more about such consumer electronics than about the Sony cell phone that is a relatively new creation. Therefore, the correct name for a Sony cell phone is Sony Ericsson mobile.

After their association, Sony and Ericsson became famous in the field of cell phone design due to their Walkman and Cyber-shot phones, getting to the fifth place among the top companies of the world, after LG, Nokia, Samsung and Motorola. The most famous Walkman mobiles were by far K750i and W800i, each with a great music playback range and two low-end phones included; both mobiles were launched in March 2005. A few months later, in October, another Sony cell phone - the P990 - was released, being the first mobile phone based on UIQ 3.
