DYA Cell Phone slides diagonallyHere’s a conceptual design that we haven’t seen before. The DYA phone concept has materialized from the future, with some interesting futuristic features. For one thing it’s got rounded bubble-type buttons that are easy to press, without having to look at them.

In back it’s coated with elastic paint that makes it pleasant to touch and reduces the chances that it will be damaged when dropped. Strangest of all, and maybe the coolest feature is the diagonal cut that makes it compact when not in use, but at the same time large enough to be used comfortably when you open it up to make or receive a call.

kyocerag2go_m2000-sbOf all the people I know who use cell phones, the single most common application they use is texting. A few of my friends text pretty much constantly and prefer texting to voice calls, which many users do. For the heavy text user, a phone that is designed for easy texting is necessary.

Kyocera has announced two new phones that are aimed at heavy text users and have a low price. The first of the two handsets is the Kyocera G2GO M2000 slider. A full QWERTY keyboard slides out in landscape mode for easy texting. The device supports Bluetooth, SMS, EMS, MMS, IM, and POP3/IMPA email.

U.S. Rep Pete King wants your cell phone camera to make noise

Posted in News by Conner Flynn on January 26th, 2009

U.S. Rep Pete King wants your cell phone camera to make noiseNew York Representative Pete King wants the US to have a law that requires all cameraphones make noise when they take a picture. It’s not unheard of. Japan and South Korea already have similar laws. In his quest for cameraphone sound King has re-introduced the “Camera Phone Predator Alert Act,” , which sounds very urgent and dramatic.

They tried it first in 2007, but it died. The idea behind the bill is to prevent people from taking cameraphone pictures without other people knowing. That’s what the sound is all about. It would sound off and be “audible within a reasonable radius” and you would not be able to disable it.

VR3 Bluetooth Steering Wheel Console for hands free chatting

Posted in Automotive by Conner Flynn on December 28th, 2008

VR3 Bluetooth Steering Wheel Console for hands free chattingIn many states you aren’t supposed to hold a cell phone while driving. It’s the law. I once saw a teenage girl talking on her phone while driving a pick up truck, run straight into a parked car. There was nothing else around her for miles. She was simply distracted and didn’t have her focus on driving. This VR3 Bluetooth Steering Wheel Console might help those who have trouble doing two things at once.

It gives you hands free wireless chatting directly in front of you, with a design that keeps your hands on the wheel for safety. Sure, it’s ugly as hell, but so is an ambulance ride or a mangled corpse. It’s only $99.99.

Nokia Gun cell phone

Posted in Concepts by Conner Flynn on December 26th, 2008

Nokia Gun cell phoneThe above picture is just a concept for the moment. Seems like it would be a great redneck device for those creeping around in the backwoods of some southern state. “Hey Cletus. I just shot something.” “Dag nabbit! What’d ya shoot? Did you tie it to a tree and make it squeal like a pig yet?”. Thankfully it doesn’t exist, so that conversation will never be uttered into it.

However, this gun-inspired Nokia phone concept may come in handy for military and law enforcement. Unless it leads to accidental shootings while talking, which it surely would. I would hope the display shows a remaining bullet count as well as phone info.
