Be in Touch.

There are major changes have taken place in the world due to the rise of using the cellular phones in our everyday life. Mobile phone today is not only system of communication between people but it has become a true multi-functional computer with game consoles, cameras, email systems, text messengers; it is carriers of entertainment and business data, nodes of commerce as well. With the help of your handset you can read books, watch TV, play games, listen your favorite music and more.

More and more companies of all sizes use a Call Conferencing for their teleconferencing needs promoting group communication and business strategy. An Audio Conference accommodated more than 3 people can allow even to the smallest business to be keeping in touch with their partners and clients trough Conference Call. And that is great deal!

By the way, how it all started? May by from the first audio recording that was made 17 years before Thomas Edison invented the phonograph, in 1860 in French by recording a folk song? “It’s magic,” audio historian David Giovannoni said, “It’s like a ghost singing to you.” This is a real historic find, the earliest known recording of sound. And it doesn’t take anything away from Thomas Edison, of course because Thomas Edison is generally credited as the first person to have recorded sound, as you know. He was the first person to have recorded (sound) and played it back. So, the best way to be ready for the future is to use newest achievements of science and engineering.

iPhone 2.0 Clamshell Patent.

It became known that Apple comes up with a device that is appealing as iPhone, in another form factor, e.g. – clamshell. The drawings above, are Photoshop renderings, based on a device described in a recent Apple’s patent application, called “Dual sided trackpad“. It shows that Apple may indeed be working on a clamshell iPhone device. But with a twist.

iPhone 2.0 clamshell patent
The main idea with this device is to separate capacitive touch sensor array and the phone display into two separate units. Then put the touch sensor array on a translucent (transparent) panel, make this panel touch sensitive on both sides - top and bottom and connect them with a hinge.

That’s it. You’ve got you flip iPhone.

When device is closed, transparent touch sensitive panel is covering the whole display area and you’ve got your ordinary full multi-touchscreen iPhone.

When you flip iPhone open, you have a normal phone display and another side of the trackpad becomes multi-touch-active. Through it you control the phone:

If you want to dial a number, you can just draw it on a trackpad.
Or the rotational dial may appear on display, and you rotate it by sliding finger on a track pad.
In the open mode, the transparent trackpad can easily be made to display the standard T9 keypad and other symbols. That can be accomplished by making polarized number and symbol markings that can only be seen when the trackpad is open. Or they can be implemented as tiny LED’s.
When needed, you can keep both sides of the cover/trackpad touch-active at the same time. Thus having “six degrees of freedom” for control, and enabling 3D gestures on the device. Standard multi-touch gestures along “XY” axis on one side of trackpad, adding “Z” axis for the touch events on the other.
This dual sided trackpad approach can be applied to media player functionality as well. When media player mode is selected and cover is closed, it works just like iPod Touch does - media controls on the screen and you control it via touch/gestures.

Flip it open, and another side of the trackpad acts as a scroll wheel on a standard iPod and more.
