In december 2003 had ik er al een keer een
itempje over gepost en het lijkt nu echt op de markt te komen: telefoons met bone
conduction. Da’s gewoon een telefoon alleen het geluid gaat niet vanaf een speakertje
rechtstreeks je oor in maar maakt gebruik van trillingen. Die trillingen worden via
je schedel dan doorgegeven aan het gehoor.

This is interesting:

Make reports on an article about patent filing from Redmond which may indicate the Microsoft is busy preparing the long rumored Zune Phone. The photographs of screen mockups that come with the patent application seems to suggest that their “Extensible Filtered Lists for Mobile Device User Interface,” will include a touch interface picture viewer, phone calls and message screen, games, mp3 player (of course), calendar, and all the usual suspects. It doesn’t look as pretty as the Cupertino’s iPhone, of course, but it’s a Windows interface, so it’s going to be list-if-ied and organized in group fashion.
The user can organize the data any way he/she chooses in list fashion and can even expand it. So, if they can list their MP3s alphabetically, by album, label, band, user preference. They can update their phone book in a myriad of ways, or even handle their pictures accordingly. […]

You might ask why the fancy title. Well, I’ve been reading various blogs today, and I’m truly and utterly revolted. I won’t link to any of those articles now, simply because I consider them to be too stupid to read.
What happened is that Microsoft has applied for a patent. This patent is for a new interface program to be used with Windows Mobile. It comes as an optimization for touchscreen, as most of us know how quirky Windows Mobile devices are when used with a touchscreen. HTC has tried to do something about it with the Touch, but they haven’t quite succeeded. Also, the TouchFlo interface copies a bit from compiz/beryl (a free graphic shell for linux) and the scrolling comes from the iPhone, indeed.

Since it’s announcement, the iPhone has been contending with the iClone. Cheaper knockoffs of Cupertino’s breakthrough cellphone that has turned the wireless industry (and some bricked customers) on it’s head. The latest, is the SPhone, which remarkably looks very much like the real McCoy. The only difference is that where Cupertino’s original uses high impact plastic, the SPhone employs a more environment friendly paper. Yes, you read right. A paper iPhone. Read on.
Turns out that the idea for encasing the iClone in paper has religious overtones. It appears that in Chinese culture, if people burn it at funerals, the former owner will be able to reach out and touch someone in the afterlife. IN addition to its combustible features, the SPhone sports some other, more cooler features: a 3-megapixel camera, 3G, MP3 player, infrared, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, memory card slot and […]
