This new service was introduced by Nokia’s research center on CES 2009 exhibition. Due to Locate Sensor technology you can be sure that I’ll never lose important items. The principle of operation is very simple – special wireless sensor is fastened to keys, wallet or any other thing. When you want to find any thing the only thing you need is to run special application on your Nokia phone. This application will show direction and distance. Besides it can locate 100 items. Every sensor has built in battery which provides more than 18 month of idle mode.
You can use Locate Sensor service in a different way: put sensor in your pocket and turn on special mode of phone’s application and you Nokia device will turn of when the distance between you and your phone will exceed 3 meters and vice versa – it will turn on when you come closer. Unfortunately Nokia Research Center didn’t let know of release date. So we hope that it will become available in the near future.
The most of mobile phones producers try to combine small size of device and big screen. Due to flexible OLED screen this problem can be solved. Such mobile device was introduced on CTIA exhibition by Kyocera. EOS phone is a concept device with QWERTY keyboard and flexible screen. But Kyocera EOS future device is notable not only for its big screen but also for its keypad: the buttons become flat or convex depending on situation. To charge built in battery this phone has piezoelectric elements which transform movement energy to electric one. These ideas are still a long way from realization. But I hope that this future mobile phone will become real in the next few years.
