C-002 HiPhone – it’s a ground breaking design and innovative interface all right

FlipSilent – switch your Nokia N95 to silent mode simply by flipping it over

You can also set it up to switch into silent mode when you flip the handset over, which makes it useful for meetings (as long as you remember to take the phone out of your…

Readius Mobile Phone Reader – portable widescreen e-paper device in production

Readius. So, the famed e-paper device is apparently finally in production, but as a mobile phone, and a full year after first being shown off in prototype form. The HSDPA tri-band handset with MP3 player, Bluetooth, SD slot and a whopping 5 inch greyscale e-paper display also comes with a super long battery life of around 30 hours *in use*, which the company says is equal to 10 days between battery charges, which must make it a serious contender in the e-book…

Beam It Up Scotty. Funski name for a clever little application which lets you convert, compress and upload files to any mobile phone. Why you ask?

Newspaper Phone – mainstream media starting to get clever about tech?

Hmm…missed this the first time round, but it’s actually quite interesting. Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter has just launched the world’s first ‘newspaper phone’, which is basically a Nokia 6120 with a dedicated button that takes you directly to the newspaper’s content. It’s a clever bit of convergence, and just one example of the way the future could go once digital e-readers become more common, or mobile phones start to employ in-built projection technology. Sponsored hardware, special prices for subscribers, lock-ins to make sure you read…
