The Pomegranate Phone is a mobile phone, mp3 player, GPS system, internet, global voice translator, camera, video player, movie projector, coffee brewer, razor and harmonica in one.
The Pomegranate NS08 is amazing. Aside from its iconic colour and shape, it’s thin, gorgeous, and has features only lusted after in current competitors: a pico projector and even a voice translator. Of course it has the usual bevy of required functions:
=> MP3 player
=> Email
=> Web browser
=> Touch screen
=> Camera
=> Coffee Brewer
It’s the voice capabilities and the pico projector that really gave me pause. It’s cool-looking, attention-grabbing digital candy for the new season.
The Nokia Morph is a concept mobile phone created by Finnish company Nokia. The concept, which was unveiled on February 25, 2008 at The Museum of Modern Art in New York City, was the product of a joint study into the future of mobile phones by the Nokia Research Center and the University of Cambridge's Nanoscience Centre. The device was presented as part of the museum's "Design and The Elastic Mind" exhibit. According to Bob Lannucci, Nokia's chief technology officer, the "Nokia Research Center is looking at ways to reinvent the form and function of mobile devices... The Morph concept shows what might be possible."
The device, which is non-functional, is intended to provide a conceptual showcase for future applications of nanotechnology in the realm of consumer electronics. The phone's theoretical feature list would include the ability to bend into numerous shapes, so it can be worn around the wrist or held up to the face; transparent electronics, which would allow the device to be see-through yet functional; self-cleaning surfaces that can absorb solar energy to recharge the phone's battery; and a wide range of fully integrated sensors. Nokia released a computer-generated video demonstrating the capabilities the Morph might have if it were a real mobile phone. The manufacturer believes that some of the device's imagined features could appear in high-end devices by 2015.
Nanotechnology enables materials and components that are flexible, stretchable, transparent and remarkably strong. Fibril proteins are woven into a three dimensional mesh that reinforces thin elastic structures. Using the same principle behind spider silk, this elasticity enables the device to literally change shapes and configure itself to adapt to the task at hand.A folded design would fit easily in a pocket and could lend itself ergonomically to being used as a traditional handset. An unfolded larger design could display more detailed information, and incorporate input devices such as keyboards and touch pads.Even integrated electronics, from interconnects to sensors, could share these flexible properties. Further, utilization of biodegradable materials might make production and recycling of devices easier and ecologically friendly.
Linux Kernel is the result of one of the largest cooperative
software projects ever attempted. Over 5000 individual developers from nearly 500 different companies have contributed to the kernel. The Linux kernel is the lowest level of software running on a Linux system. It is charged with
managing the hardware, running user programs, and maintaining the overall security and integrity of the whole system. It is this kernel which, after its initial release by Linus Torvalds in 1991, jumpstarted the development of Linux as a whole. The kernel is a relatively small part of the software on a full Linux system (many other large components come from the GNU project, the GNOME and KDE desktop projects, the X.org project, and many other sources), but it is the core which
determines how well the system will work and is the piece which is truly unique to Linux. Linux kernel development proceeds under a loose, time-based release model, with a new major kernel release occuring every 2–3 months.The Linux kernel is an interesting project to study for a number of reasons. It is one of the largest individual components on almost any Linux system. It also features one of the fastest-moving development processes and involves more developers than any other open source project. For more info..click here
At the 10th Nokia Connection event at Singapore, Nokia unveiled its newest mobile device – the Nokia N8. This phones is designed to deliver new and compelling experiences, allowing users to be entertained and to connect to others like never before. This phone also come in bright colors and sleek, modern designs. I love a brightly-colored cellphone – it’s so much easier to dig it out of your purse!
The Nokia N8 was showed for the first time in front of 150 media personnel and trade analysts in Singapore. This device is Nokia’s latest smartphone, created to make it easier for users to enjoy social networks, on-demand TV web programs, and Ovi Apps. Yes, you can actually access web TV services that delivers programs from channels like CNN, National Geographic, and E! Entertainment. Nokia also collaborated with local content providers to bring Web TV to the N8 when the phone hits the stores in Singapore and Malaysia.
Navigating is a breeze because the Nokia N8 supports gestures like pinch-zoom and flick scrolling. It also lets you use personalizable home screens that can be customized with apps from the Ovi Store. It runs on Symbian 3 and is the first device to have Qt, a software development environment that makes it easier to build applications and deploy them across Symbian and other platforms.
Another notable feature is the 12-megapixel 28mm wide angle camera lense Carl Zeiss optics(liquid lense based technology) and Xenon flash, which guarantees high-quality pictures in low light. The Nokia N8 also lets you record HD videos and edit them with an intuitive built-in editing program. You can also use the device to enjoy HD quality video with Dolby Digital Plus surround sound if you plug it into your home theater system.
