Sunshine Powered Mobile

The World's First Solar Powered Cell Phone

I think this is quite an exciting development and clearly illustrates how light can be used to manipulate these devices.

Mobile Burgering

Seems Japan's leading the way by having customers pay for their food via mobile.

Device Convergence - Reach for the Sky

These two adverts were in the November 13th edition of the Metro. A free paper available to anyone who commutes on a train that's been anywhere near London that day.

This first one really shows the convergence between devices - music and the phone. It plays on the idea that the music you listen to could influence who you call, will "get you talking", despite advertising it as a music player.

This second advert is for the service Sky now offer where you can text your Sky+ box to record things should you forget to set it. An interesting and innovative (but unecessary?) way to remotely control a household appliance. I guess there's plenty of other things that could happen with this - particulary with that "Smart" fridge thing - you could check it's contents whilst you're at the supermarket...

The Gadget Show

Whilst browsing the Gadget Show site, I found two things I thought were relevant to this project.

Why have I got a Bluetooth?
Interesting little article on the whys and wherefores of Bluetooth and some talk about it's uses - some uses weirder than others.

An article on different mobile phones written in Marchtime.
This talks about the phones that are out now, and what they thought of them. They seem to love the Motorola, I don't know why - I never was a fan of their interface or their phone design. Probably down to when I did have one it was quite different to what I was used to using.
