We dont want that 8 Mega Pixel camera phone anymore, we want a Projector Phone.
Can you remember the novelty of your first camera phone taken photos of slightly drunken mates on nights out.
Well now that entire novelty will come again with the projector phone, we can imagine the endless possiblitys for this are pretty much endless.
Since this is a China based phone it might not see any overseas markets but it might just capture the eye of other big mobile phone makers such as Nokia, LG and Samsung.

Using Mobile Phones In Hospitals
For years hospitals have banned people suing mobile phones in hospitals. but how many people still have turn turned on but just on silent.
Well now the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, has turned round to the government and said that visitors and paients should be allowed to use there mobile phones in hospitals within certain areas.
This could just cause more confusion than banning them out right.
But since those patient line phones are so expensive to use and call this could really have a knock on affect within some areas.
The Sony Ericsson W660i RED
The new W660i in RED from Sony Ericsson is another model in their walkman mobile phone series. The W660i RED offers users an attractive device in a stylish red case that is aesthetically pleasing. Users will be pleased to see all of their favourite Sony Ericsson walkman features including an FM Radio and ability to play MP3 and ACC digital music with ease.

A calendar will help to keep your appointments organized and a tasks option will help you never to forget to take care of something again.

The Sony Ericsson W660i RED offers users a decent 2 megapixel camera that has a 2.5 zoom capability. The camera also offers autofocus and flash for improved picture quality. Video captures are also possible with the W660i RED as well.

Motorla SURF A3100
This great looking touch screen mobile is from Motorola is braded by them as the SURF A3100 but no doubt will get re branded again by each phone network / carrier.
The SURF A3100 has a neutral carbon footprint for those of you that dig that kind of thing, mainly due to certain components been made from re-cycled water bottles.
The SURF A3100 runs Windows Mobile 6.1 and has a 2.8” touch screen, which is industry standard at this moment in time but no doubt these will get up to 3” in the near future.
The SURF A3100 might not see UK marketplaces as it is rumoured to be shipped straight on to the Asian marketplace which is a shame for such a nice phone, could this be down to such fierce completion from the iPhone and blackberry Storm. Also the SURF A3100 is going to be a replacement for the Ming which is mainly in the Asian market which again backs up rumours
Featuring a 3.2 Mega Pixel camera with auto focus and a microSD slot supporting up to 32GB Cards, the SURF A3100 does seem to have a lot of the features a consumer wants in these modern times.
More Applications Heading For The T-Mobile G1
One major reason the T-Mobile G1 seems to be lacking in popularity is down to the lack of applications that are available to download.
The T-Mobile phone network have gone to great lengths to promote the G1 yet applications so far have not been in the spotlight.
Apples IPhone has over 10,000 applications available to download and are easy to download through the IStore and most of them you will need to pay for.
Some of the applications that are in the IStore are quite gimmicky like the pint of carling that empties when you tip your IPhone to one side or even been able to get the bible which even Vatican City has commented on.
In November 08 Apple claimed more than 300 million downloads for applications, so it proves people don’t mind paying for good or novelty applications for their Mobile Phones
Developers will get to keep 70% of the software fees and Google will take the other 30%. If your application goes viral over the web then you could see a very nice profit as a developer. So I would be expecting to see a flurry of applications been released in the hope of a bit of money making
The USA and UK will be the first to see the priced applications followed by France and Italy and slowly spreading across the marketplace.
Since the G1 is the first mobile phone to use the android software expect more to follow in this trend increasing the number of applications tenfold.
What you should consider when shopping for a PDA
As you prepare to go shopping for a PDA, there a few factors you should consider before you get out your credit card. Some of the things to consider when purchasing a PDA are listed below:
Size of the Display Screen
A personal digital assistant should have a large, brightly lit and user-friendly display. Due to the small size of the PDA, you will need the screen to be large enough so that you do not strain when reading information from the PDA. Also, this information will most likely be important business information and so accuracy will be vital.
Size of the Random Access Memory
Random Access Memory is the part of the PDA that is responsible for the displays that you see on your PDA’s screen. Because of this, you should purchase a PDA with huge Random Access Memory – RAM.
A PDA with a large Random Access Memory is able to run applications faster without experiencing freezing problems. Also, a large RAM PDA is able to access and retrieve data faster. Acquiring a PDA with a large RAM from the onset is less expensive than doing an upgrade later on. When shopping for a PDA, set your minimum PDA RAM requirement at 32MB. However, should you be considering doing more than run applications on your PDA, then 64MB or above is most ideal.
Expansion Slots – Memory
In today’s competitive business world, more is better. But you do not want to be bogged down carrying many gadgets, so when you are looking to simplify and organise things, a large memory PDA can provide the perfect solution for you. When window-shopping for a PDA, consider how much more expandable memory you can add to the PDA. A built-in expandable memory slot should be able to accommodate and support memory sticks, compact flash and secure digital. Be sure to check the maximum capacity of data it can support in terms of add-on memory. Also, the PDA expandable memory should be easy to connect with other gadgets including your PC or laptop.
Networking features
This involves deciding which technology will enable you to interlink your PDA and all of your other gadgets seamlessly. You should go for a PDA that supports wireless technology as well as Bluetooth.

2. Although this will depend on the carrier, one will be able to customize a mobile phones using Google Android platform like never before, right down to the screen. Features like weather details, opening screen, live RSS feeds and even the icons on the opening screen will be able to be customized.

However, Google Android is likely to experience some problems as well. These problems might include rejection of Google Android by carriers who charge a fee for some of the web based applications which Google Android will enable mobile phone holders to access free of charge.
Also, since Google Android is an open source platform driving all Android phones, it could significantly increase the risk of hacking these devices. If this happens, then locking mobiles as a security measure will be a mockery.
