Emirates allows Inflight Cell Phone Calls
2008-03-21 18:15:00
Emirates claims to be the first airline in the world to allow passengers to make authorized cell phone calls while in the air, with the Airbus A340 heading towards Casablanca from Dubai being the benefactor of such an honor. Passengers are allowed to make and receive not only phone calls but text messages the moment the aircraft touched the crucial cruising altitude. Emirates is thinking to retrofit other aircraft in their fleet with the interference-blocking AeroMobile system later this year , including adding BlackBerry and "other data services." I wonder how the roaming charges will work then. Permalink | Comment | Uberbargain | Uberphones

Madonna Releases Album on Cell Phones
2008-03-20 19:25:00
Madonna isn't out of the game yet despite her reaching the magical 50 mark where biological age is concerned. In fact, she is hip enough to keep up with the times, releasing her new album for cell phones one week earlier than the actual CD release. Each new song can be downloaded for 24 hours before it is replaced by the next track, with individual songs retailing for 99p. Needless to say, her hot new single "4 Minutes" can already be downloaded for 75p a pop. Unfortunately for Material Girl fans outside of Europe, they will have to wait a whole lot longer if they do not want to take the illegal route of obtaining her latest songs since Vodafone spans across a mere 10 European countries.

ZJ268 Cell Phone from Hell
2008-03-20 12:47:00
One might think that the devil had a hand when it comes to the ZJ268 cell phone that claims to have a legendary 666 days of standby time. Now I would most certainly say that this is but a hoax - unless it is nuclear powered, of course. Rather, this handset has a 32,800mAh "super battery" running the proceedings, featuring a dual SIM, GSM900/DCS1800 support and a 3" display. Retailing for $128 a pop, I'm surprised it does not self-combust if you don't offer it a monthly animal sacrifice. Permalink | Comment | Uberbargain | Uberphones

Cell Phone Microscope
2008-03-20 04:59:00
We've seen cell phone telescopes in the past, but those certainly can't be used for medical purposes. This 60x cell phone microscope was designed by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley which provides an affordable and reliable method to diagnose patients in remote areas over the phone. Dubbed the Cell Scope, you get 5x magnification for diagnosing skin conditions and 60x which is powerful enough to magnify and diagnose malaria in a blood sample. Heck, you can also use it to count white blood cells in leukemia patients. The initial prototype was constructed from off-the-shelf components with a total cost of $75 thereabouts. Imagine snapping images using the CellScope and sending it via MMS to a medical lab a few hundred miles away. Hopefully a refined version can roll out soon.

Subscription-based Zonbu Laptop Review
2008-02-15 03:01:00
PC Mag has taken the subscription-based Zonbu laptop for a spin, and here's what they have to say about it. Pros: $279 laptop. Gentoo Linux is solid. Unlike the Zonbu PC, the Zonbu Notebook actually has 60GB of local storage. Comes with 20 free software apps, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet. Cons: $15-per-month subscription plan is the catch. Root access is locked down. VIA parts can't handle HD clips and cause slow boot times. Would you pick it up? After all, $15 a month does add up to a fair sum after a couple of years, and considering the rather lacklustre graphical and processor performances, you might want to take some time to really think about it before making a purchase.

Atlas Kinetic Cell Phone Concept
2008-02-14 10:16:00
Bringing a balance to both form and function is one of the greatest challenges any hardware designer can face, so thankfully we have concepts that allow one's imagination to go wild. The Atlas Kinetic cell phone concept is made out of aluminum and glass, where the central sapphire glass shows off the generating and charging unit. It is powered via kinetic energy just like those found in kinetic-powered watches. Unfortunately, this phone does not push the technological boundary as it comes with most basic of functions, presumably because the amount of power generated isn't enough to run all the other heavy multimedia stuff. At least there's no charger to lug around. Permalink | Comment | Uberbargain | Uberphones

Optical Disc Drive In Cell Phone
2008-02-13 04:44:00
Will cell phones move away from flash-based memory cards in the future with the advent of an optical disc drive at MWC '08? I don't think so, as the latter can probably co-exist peacefully with the former. Spice from India has a handset that comes with an integrated optical disc drive, where each optical disc has enough space to store 2.5 hours of video (no idea on what format it is compressed in). To date, only 40 titles are available with the majority of them being Bollywood hits. Could this be the reincarnation of Sony's UMD? Permalink | Comment | Uberbargain | Uberphones

GPS-enabled Glove
2008-02-12 04:50:00
The Vie prototype is a glove that boasts single-handed control, working as an interface between you and your safety. It requires finger movements of up and down to operate it, while actions can be followed up on the e-ink screen depending on your prior movement. Miniature motors actually ensure some form of feedback so that you will be able to know whether you have touched a button or not. The Vie also functions just fine as a personal guide and trainer, making it an ideal companion for joggers. No worries about being caught in the rain with it since it is wind- and water-proof. Other than its GPS capability, the Vie can also send out SOS messages whenever you're knee deep in trouble. Can we now have a consumer-ready model please?

UC Berkeley students to trial mobile phone based California traffic-monitor
2008-02-01 22:13:00
There’s nothing worse than getting getting out-of-sync traffic information. Your navigation system re-routes you to avoid the traffic “slowdown,” and it ends up taking longer than if you had just stayed on the highway. The problem is rooted in the current traffic monitoring system that is currently in use in California - home to some of the most horrific traffic pile-ups in the country. You see, traffic flow is detected using fixed-position traffic-sensors (either video-based or inductive-magnetics embedded in the ground) and can only provide reactive data. That is to say, you can only detect traffic flow through changes in average highway speeds. Well, a group of 100 students at UC Berkeley want to make traffic flow detection a more accurate endeavor. They plan to trial a new system, dubbed Mobile Century, in which vehicles will be fitted with GPS-equipped mobile phones to serve as mobile traffic sensors. The Nokia N95 will be the handset of choice as these stude...

Monitor Traffic Conditions with Cellphones
2008-02-01 20:21:00
UC Berkeley students will participate in an experiment that uses cellphones to monitor road traffic. Many phones already have a GPS chip and it is clear that eventually all phones will have one. So the idea is to save the phone’s location every 3 seconds and send the information (wirelessly) to a server that will compute the bigger traffic picture. It’s a really cool idea. It’s cheaper than adding sensors, and it would allow a view of all road traffic conditions – not just the major routes equipped with sensors. Now there are privacy concerns, but it should be possible to do something that is voluntary and anonymous. Permalink | Comment | Uberbargain | Uberphones
