When the phone rings, turn your finger ring into an earring

0orb-bluetooth-headest-1.jpg

When the phone rings, turn your finger ring into an earring - Core77: "Too cool to be true? The Orb Bluetooth headset folds neatly into a ring you can wear on your finger when it's not in use. A tiny FOLED (that's flexible organic light-emitting diode) display shows caller ID and calendar info. To activate the headset, you just twist it from a ring into an 'S' and stick it in your ear; it receives your audio via bone conduction."

Designing Mobile Technology for Emerging Markets

MobilGlyph: Making Data Tangible from Adaptive Path on Vimeo.

In rural India, being able to store a number in contacts and then call that contact is a primary mechanism for overcoming traditional infrastructure challenges, like learning the prices of goods at market. However, currently, most mobile phones available to people in rural areas of India, have a text driven interface, making it near impossible for illiterate users to obtain and store contacts. Solving the "save a contact" problem for illiterate users became one of the focuses for our project. To show how data could be made tangible, and how illiterate users could easily share contact information, we created a concept called MobilGlyph.

MySpace CEO Chris DeWolfe Lays Out Mobile Strategy; Hypertargeting Mobile Ads To Users

MySpace is moving quickly to establish itself on mobile, after growth of its mobile user base jumped 400 percent from last year, with just under a quarter of its users—or 20 million—accessing the popular social net from their cellphones. During this morning’s keynote, MySpace CEO Chris DeWolfe laid out some of the company’s strategy for taking its online success and translating it to mobile and how it planned to generate revenues in the space.

Emerging Markets: MySpace has identified India and China as two countries that it would like to target, especially as their mobile phone user numbers are massive. China Mobile alone has some 460 million subscribers. China, DeWolfe said, was an especially “rich market” for games, and social networking, where specific nets have emerged for different provinces in the country and different classes of users. He quipped that there at least 30 of them were called mySpace.

Alcatel: Piece Suit for Lego Phone

Alcatel Ditches Three-Piece Suit for Lego Phone: "I don't think I've ever used the Lego and Alcatel names in the same sentence before, but there is always a first time for everything. When most people think of Alcatel phones, they usually are reminded of the corporate market with support for all kinds of business applications. That can make for quite the stuffy image, so Alcatel decided to have a little fun for once."

Bulletflight

The next killer app:

"A ballistic computer designed to provide quick solutions in the field"
Knights Armament Company’s Bullet Flight for iPhone is an application that takes all the guesswork out of sniping your opposition. This isn’t a video game, but an application that can improve your shooting accuracy with your favorite rifle.
Shooting at long-distance targets is a lot harder than it appears. There’s lots of math involved and carrying a notebook in the battlefield is just too cumbersome.
