Turbocell introduces this technology!!

Mobile charger for your mobile phones - Technology grows!

Cellphones were originally designed to keep you connected while out in the field. Though "the field" can be rather lacking in wall outlets, so when your phone's batteries run dry, and you've gotta top up, you'll need a portable charger. The Turbocell Charger uses simple and readily available AA batteries to pump some go-juice into your cellphone's lithium ions. As small as a pack of gum, and with enough connectors to mate with nearly any manufacturer's phone, you'll be good to go, no matter where it is you're going. Technology is growing much faster than ever.

The average AA battery can add up to 2 hours of extra talk-time, which might be just what you needed - especially if, during the above movie, you have to hack into the aliens' computer network to upload a virus from your Mac. It would suck if your cellphone gave out at the last minute, and would make a terrible downer of a movie ending.

Details

Plugs into 9 different brands of phones: Audiovox, Blackberry, LG, Motorola, Nextel, Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson
Takes 1 AA battery
AlgorChip charges your cellphone's battery safely without damage or risk of fire
Up to 2 hours extra talk-time per average AA battery

Mooon concept technology!



Touchscreen Mooon+ Concept phone!!

Do you have a hard time keeping track of all your gadgets? Wouldn't it be nice if you were able to connect your Bluetooth headset directly to your phone? This way, you're much less likely to lose the handsfree side of the equation.


That seems to the be thinking behind the Mooon+ (the extra "o" is not a typo) cell phone concept. The top section of the phone detaches to reveal a fully functional Bluetooth headset. The rest of the phone seems to borrow some styling cues from the BlackBerry Pearl, but the interface is completely through the touchscreen display.


Seems like it could be a neat idea, but I'd imagine that the premium of the "free" Bluetooth headset will be integrated into the price of the phone as a whole.

Chinese scrolls technology in cellphones!



Yun Liang's new technology!!

As flexible displays come to market, designers are asked how they can design products that utilize the technology while remaining meaningful. Yun Liang’s scroll cellphone takes its inspiration from how traditional Chinese paintings are unfurled.


When not in use, the display neatly rolls into the tube. All numeric key functions remain tactile running along the side of the scroll as opposed to touchscreen. This makes it possible to use without having to unroll the screen. You would only do so when accessing media and data.

Tv channels in your hand!!

Packet Video for mobiles!

A decade ago being able to watch your favorite TV shows on your mobile handset looked like a distant fantasy. Not anymore thanks to innovations in mobile technology. And in case you’re wondering if you really have to dig into your life’s savings to buy a high-end handset to avail such services, then you can really breath relief right about now since PacketVideo (PV) has launched a pocket-sized mobile broadcast receiver that joins forces with WiFi-enabled phones and personal media players to deliver top quality mobile TV experience. What the device does is that it receives the digital TV signal, repurposes it to match your phone/player via a wireless signal using specific, patented protocols to provide secure access to premium channels. That effectively means you get to watch your fav soaps on the go without switching to a higher handset.

For now the receiver will be compatible with major mobile broadcast standards, including TDtv, DVB-H and MediaFLO as well as for WiMAX and can be customized for a specific service provider too if need arises. Running on a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, the mobile broadcast receiver features a glowing LED on/off switch along with a color-changing halo that indicates battery charge level.



The 6.4cm W x 1.8cm H x 4cm D receiver is compatible with Nokia N-series, Apple iPhone and HTC Smartphone handsets and is expected to hit markets later this year.

Beware of Sim spy!!

Never leave your sim card alone

It is the Sim Card data extractor and it will take all the data out of the Sim that you have in your hand and instantly transfer it to a PC. So what is so great about this little gadget? For starters if you are trying to get in to someone else’s phone just for the sake of information, then you no longer need to try unlocking it.

Revolutionary phone!!

Now use more than 5 designs of moblies in a week!

Israeli manufacturer Modu claims their eponymous phone the smallest in the world. It certainly looks like the smallest with barely room for a regular numeric keypad. Instead, users have a set tic-tac-toe buttons. The screen is tiny as well, so I guess we can forget about watching videos on this 42-gram cell phone.

The “revolutionary” idea doesn’t stop in its small size. Modu Mobile comes with “jackets” that add functionality to the phone, i.e. a regular keypad. Dav Moran, the maker of Modu, is the same man who brought us the USB flash drive and his phone has very similar characteristics with the USB.

Besides the jackets, the phone seems to fit into just about everything: car radio, PDA, laptop as an express card. Modular phones are not new but Modu brings the form factor and fashionableness into the concept. Hopefully, before its October shipping, Modu can show us more of what the phone can do.

Vibrates your hand!!

Bluetooth Wristband

The BluAlert Vibrating Bluetooth Wristband pretty much sums up what it does - when paired to your cell phone, it will vibrate automatically whenever there is an incoming call or text message, making sure that you won’t miss a single phone call. This works great if you’re one who tends to wear baggy pants, making it hard to know whenever someone is calling you - even more so when you’re right smack in the middle of a noisy, bustling crowd. I would have liked to see other functionalities built into the BluAlert Vibrating Bluetooth Wristband though, such as a watch so that you don’t look so daft wearing just a wristband where other people might perceive it to be some sort of fashion accessory. It retails for approximately $63.

Feeling lonely? No girlfriend?

Get yourself a Virtual Girlfriend!

Hong Kong based company Artificial Life have developed an interactive virtual girlfriend that appears as an animated girl for new mobile phones with video capability. According to a company spokesperson, users of the latest 3-G mobile phones who subscribe to the service will be able to send messages to the virtual girlfriend, who will respond by voice. Each girlfriend will follow an evolving daily and weekly schedule which includes visiting her virtual home, work or bar, and shopping with her virtual girlfriends.

Although all the virtual girls look pretty similar, they behave in a different way depending on how well the user treats her.

Buying her flowers and diamonds will get her attention and advance the relationship to higher levels. In return, she will unlock new levels and aspects of her life, such as introducing her female friends - who also happen to be electronic images.

However, it's not as easy as it sounds, because the virtual girlfriend will get angry and ignore the user if she does not get what she wants. And since the users will be charged real money to pay for all those virtual flowers, in addition to the subscription charge, she might turn out to be not just virtual high maintenance, but real high maintenance! Although for now, it has not been determined how much the gifts will cost.

Classified as a game by its makers, it does not contain any elements of a sexual nature, and is "suitable for all ages", the spokesperson said.

Artificial Life hope to launch the new game later this year, with a "virtual boyfriend" equivalent scheduled for early next year.

The Virtual Girlfriend is based on intelligent animated 3-D characters (avatars) that live in a virtual mobile world. The virtual girls can be contacted and seen using a 3G phone at any time. However, the characters will be involved in different activities during the day, for example, the girlfriend may be in her virtual home or at her virtual workplace or in a virtual bar or restaurant or just shopping with another virtual friend in a virtual shopping mall.

The user can watch the characters during these activities and interact with them via the mobile phone. The characters and the game follow a certain daily and weekly schedule which will continuously change and progress over time.

Users can interact with the game characters on their mobile phones by sending SMS and MMS messages or chat with them in real time through a J2ME client. Several interactive game icons are available as well. Users even have the option to interact with the Virtual Girlfriend by sending her virtual gifts which can elevate the user to different, more sophisticated game levels.

Thats very portable!!

'Infinitely Charged' Built-in cell phone charger



Now here’s a solution that really does have a significant problem to solve. Everyone who owns a cell phone has found themselves somewhere with a low battery without their charger, usually in the least convenient place at the most inconvenient time. In today’s anytime, anywhere communications environment, being without a working cell phone is the equivalent of being technologically naked – it’s not a good look and it can can lead to all manner of collateral problems. Infinitely Charged is a patent-pending design that enables a cell phone to plug directly into a power point.

It’s not the whole answer, but it’s a lot better than having to carry your cell phone charger with you and there’s bound to be a sizable market for all those mission critical people out there who are prepared to sacrifice a smidgen of style to ensure they are connected at all times. Indeed, it would be quite possible to have the phone charging while you’re using it via a Bluetooth headset.

Infinitely Charged is equipped with an electrical plug-in (120v AC power) directly located in the back of the cellular phone. It is designed to flip the plug prong up to store when not in use and flip down when charging is needed.

It’s claimed to be the only product of its type by Californian inventor Ronald Kearns who has a patent pending on the design and is keen to discuss serious production and marketing enquiries.

A simple hands free!!

Hands free, now very easy to use!

Hands-free products for mobile phones did actually made our "hands free"
however,
the way most products are designed can easily be affected by noise,

Leading to unclear voice transmission just like pulling up your neck tie,
'Tie up' can pull the microphone towards your mouth.
Thus, even if you are in a
crowded space or in a public place where silence is necessary, with the
minimum volume of your voice,
Pleasant communication is possible.


1. When the lower body and the microphone is separated the call is forwarded.
If you think of it the other way around, the microphone unit can be pulled towards
the lower body unit. When the microphone is plugged in the call will automatically
end.
2. The user doesn't need to spend all day trying to find the volume button.
Simply just pull it and instant volume control is possible
