Remembering the Pomengranate Phone

It’s been spread as a viral video for a Novascotia tourism campaign many months ago, but the Pomengranate is making a huge comeback, especially in Asia. I guess it took this long to arrive. What’s actually freaky is that one of these features — the projector is already available on a number of Asian made phones. The NS08 (which stands for Novascotia ‘08) is still a dream, but it does become less and less fascinating by today’s standards in mobile phone technology.

So I’ve set up a new poll and moved it up to where it is more visible for everyone. This is an interesting survey as I’ve left the nominations open. Meaning, you can add phones to the long list. So far I’ve placed the most “traditional” wants this Christmas including the new Nokia N82 and yeah, the Apple iPhone. So poll away, dear readers!

Windows Vista has a little brother in Windows Mobile. At least that is where it seems to be going. The SideShow application turns your mobile device into a small “Tempest Junior” for the huge desktop “Thunder Sub.”
Here are a few things up for the testing grounds according to the devs:
* New Portrait QVGA UI designed for remote controls
* New Universal driver for Windows SideShow that supports USB and Bluetooth communication
* New Simulator that uses the Universal driver
* New user switching UI for devices operating …read more

So what’s your take on the latest development of the London currency being dispensed by mobile phones?
“Early next year Barclaycard will run a trial of the technology on the back of its new ‘OnePulse’ contactless card, which was launched in September. OnePulse cards are combined credit cards and Oyster cards, and also allow small purchases (under £10) to be made without entering a Pin.
About 1,000 retailers in the capital are already equipped with the contactless terminals for OnePulse, so putting the technology into mobile phones will not require them to install yet more expensive kit. Several hundred Barclaycard customers will …read more
Projection Screen Mobile Phone Concept

Marrying the ovehead projector and the cellphone, this Windows Mobile powered smartphone concept brings a lot more to the table, literally.
And if it costs much less than $500.00, then this can very well replace your board room projector. Of course, the concept leaves you with many questions. Your mobile phone would probably only support USB connectivity in the first place – and secondly, how would the phone control heat from the “bulb?”
Nonetheless, this concept brings a lot of excitement to portable presentation tools.
iPhone Phone Fingers: Beyond What Words Can Describe

There are just some things that can be considered as JUST WRONG.
Like take these phone fingers for instance. Not only do they double as Halloween paraphernalia (hey kids that’s in two weeks time!), they also make for good precision wear for booger picking.
You can buy a whole bag of these things from their website for only ten dollars — and they come in different sizes too!
Haha, I classified it under the “Handy Peripherals” category. Get it? Handy peripherals? No? Mweh.

Back in 2001, the “in thing” was having a mobile phone with Bluetooth and a personal digital assistant. The latter allowed you to keep schedule, listen to music and view photos while your phone simply allowed you to send away text messages. You could sync both devices wirelessly, and this was the beginning of how the industry juggled OTA sync tools. My personal favorite config was the Nokia 6310i with the Palm m515 and a Bluetooth SDIO card.
Now, Apple had just announced the iPod touch, a niche market product that heavily capitalizes on the iPhone sans the calling and camera …read more
