Mobile with Projector

| Friday, August 15, 2008 |

Another feature added in mobiles!

Samsung has just launched a mobile with a projector which will provide an ultimate tool to its user.In addition to being useful for presentations it will be used widely as a source of entertainment as the users can use it to watch movies on big screens now.



The only reasonable ability is we can watch the stored movies on a large screen and we can enjoy an array of multimedia and video games.This projector produces a lot of light for getting saturated images and pictures so that we will lose the charge of battery earlier.

This is a newer generation of miniaturized video components. This is a made up of Highly Durable Polycarbonate. Energy saving is happened by graphite sheet to increase and decrease the heat conductivity. The edges are made up of aluminum to enhance the heat radiation away from the projector module and functional keys.

| Saturday, August 2, 2008 |

10 . Asus Aura





9 . TripleWatch
Though the idea of a cellphone watch is not so new, the TripleWatch designed by Manon Maneenawa has an interesting triple flip technique that allows the user to transform the watch into a normal cellphone. When used as a wrist watch, the phone has a speaker button that allows the user to answer the phone and hang up while driving.

8 . NEC Tag
Somehow similar to the Snaked concept, the NEC Tag is a flexible phone concept that can be , for example, hung from a belt or wrapped around the user's arm. Interesting is that the phone has shape-memorizing material and sensors that allows the phone to change its shape according to the mode.

6 . Retroxis By Dark Label
If most phones presented here will never be sold in store for sure, the Retroxis concept phone from Dark Label looks kinda human, and makes us hope we'll be able to get one of these one day. Designed by Lim Sze Tat the phone is encased in high polished polycarbonate renowned for its lightweight and toughness and has an invisible OLED display that silently hides away when inactive.

5 . What You See is What You Get Concept
One thing is for sure about this concept phone they could've named it shorter. Designed by Pei-Hua Hang, the phone's name comes from the fact that this concept no longer uses an LCD as viewfinder for the digital camera, instead it uses a transparent frame. And of course, interaction is made through a touchscreen

4 . Benq-Siemes "Snaked"
Benq designers thought of women too and presented Snaked. This is a "reptile" looking phone, creepy somehow, but still is very cool. The Snaked is a fashion phone for sport loving women, because it also has body monitoring sensors to help the ladies keep those fine shapes.

Do You Know how u can Charge your mobile without plugging it to thw wall??

| Tuesday, March 11, 2008 |

For all of you who have more than one cellphones with them or in their family,this gadget might be quite tempting.Here is a WildCharger that will charge the mobiles of your whole family overnight at one place only.the most important thing about this gadget is that it charges up your electronic items with the same speed and is perfectly safe to use.

The WildCharger™ pad is flat and thin with a conductive surface. Once a cell phone or other electronic device that is enabled with WildCharge technology is placed on the pad – anywhere on the pad and at any orientation – it will instantaneously receive power from the pad.Enabling a portable electronic device with WildCharge technology is also simple. A WildCharge adapter attaches to – or outright replaces – the device’s back cover. This adapter has tiny external “bumps” (contact-points) that come in physical contact with the pad.
Once a compatible electronic device is placed on the WildCharger pad, power is transferred from the pad’s surface through the contact-points to the WildCharge adapter and into the device. The geometries of the charging surface and the contact-points guaranty that regardless of where the device is placed on the pad’s surface, a closed electrical circuit is formed between the surface and the device. Such direct contact allows for a very efficient and safe power transfer without generating harmful radiation or magnetic fields.
This device has already been used to charge up the mobiles like MotoRazr.

BAMBOO Phone !!!

| Sunday, March 2, 2008 |

This one is dedicated to my roommate nicknamed 'Bamboo'.
Some people go through cell phones faster than they do a roll of toilet paper, so in an effort to reduce our carbon (and landfill) footprint, some designers are starting to create handsets that are completely biodegradable. One such handset is the Bamboo, a cell phone that the designers say is completely biodegradable. It is called the Bamboo because it contains bamboo seeds. The whole phone is biodegradable and when it breaks down bamboo seeds will be released.
After a year or so and you decide not to use the phone anymore, you can bury the print board, battery, and antenna in compost, which will then disintegrate, releasing bamboo seeds that would grow into new plants. The phone will also feature an energy-efficient monochrome display, and a hand-crack with which to re-charge the device. A 3-minute cranking session could provide enough power for one phone call.
Alternatively, I wonder whether I can just plant the entire phone into the ground and watch it reproduce asexually....

Cellphones to turn into Robots

| Saturday, March 1, 2008 |


For those who feel a bit lonely just talking on the phone, a Japanese company is offering a cellphone that turns into a robot buddy ready to chat.

Softbank Mobile Corp.'s new mobile line looks like a small humanoid with attachable arms and legs, with the screen showing various faces.

The PhoneBraver will be released in April after a character in an upcoming television drama series entitled "Cellphone Investigator 7."

The telephone comes with enough artificial intelligence to learn the user's habits.

If the user calls a particular person many times, a text phrase such as "You're calling her often these days, aren't you?" might appear coming out of the face's mouth, according to Softbank Mobile spokesman Katsuhide Furuya.

The user could carry on conversations with the phone by responding "yes" or "no" or with other simple replies.

"We haven't decided on specifics yet on the communication between the user and mobile, but your mobile would grow into a buddy different from others that is unique in the world," he said.

The PhoneBraver does not move by itself but can strike a pose with movable joints. The price is not disclosed yet.

Japan is known for its fondness for humanoids, which have been put to use as security guards, receptionists and for other functions in a country with a declining birth rate.

Japan also has cutthroat competition in mobile telephones, with three main companies constantly trying to find new incentives to snare users.

The number of cellphone subscriptions topped 100 million in Japan at the end of December against the nation's total population of 127 million, according to industry data.

Asia leads in mobile tech...

| |

The United States leads the world in operating systems, Web 2.0 startups, and drunken teenage starlets. When it comes to cell phones, however, we might as well be Albania. With the exception of the iPhone, a truly game-changing piece of technology, all the cool handsets appear first in Europe and Asia.

The main reason for this is because people in Europe and Asia are more dependent on their cell phones than on their PCs, high-speed mobile broadband service has developed much faster. Buying a handset overseas is a lot like buying a computer--you can mix and match models and service providers.

Need some proof? Take these three examples.

In Japan you can point certain Sony Ericsson or DoCoMo cell phones at a building, and they will display information about what's inside it, such as directions to a third-floor office or a menu for the rooftop restaurant. This trick is accomplished via the phone's GPS chip, its electronic compass, and Mapion Local Search software powered by San Francisco-based GeoVector. Handsets incorporating GeoVector technology will start to appear stateside by year's end, says CEO John Ellenby.

Also big in Japan: mobile phones that have motion sensors built in. Last year NTT DoCoMo launched cell phones that let you play games or fast-forward through MP3s simply by waving your hand. In the United States, Verizon has shipped handsets with games powered by Gesturetek, a similar technology that relies on the phone's camera to detect motion.

In China some cell phones, buses, and cars will be able to receive live HDTV broadcasts of the 2008 Beijing Olympics this summer. Unlike streaming services such as MobiTV or Verizon's VCast, China's mobile TV will transmit signals directly to a UHF/VHF antenna built into the phones, thus bypassing the cellular network and allowing for 50 times the bandwidth. Mobile TV is also taking off in Japan, Korea, and Europe.

Centro runs the Palm operating system and provides e-mail, chat and Web browsing. The push-to-talk feature allows discussions with as many as 29 people.

It is the first Palm OS smart phone with built-in XM Radio Mobile, which enables access to 25 commercial-free XM radio channels in a variety of genres.
