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.

New mobile experience.

As BBC reportes Google has unveiled software it hopes will power a variety of future mobile phones and boost the web on the move. That is great deal because users want to have the same possibility the have got in internet.
“This is going to bring the internet into cell phones in a very cool way,” Andy Rubin, Google’s director of mobile platforms, told the Associated Press news agency. The firm is working with four mobile manufacturers – Samsung, HTC, Motorola and LG – but a Google branded phone was not announced.
The first phones using the so-called Google “software stack” will be available in the second half of 2008.
“This is going to bring the internet into cell phones in a very cool way,” Andy Rubin, Google’s director of mobile platforms, told the Associated Press news agency.
Mr Rubin’s firm, called Android, was bought by Google in 2005 and the software it developed forms the basis of the new stack.
Google has formed the Open Handset Alliance (OHA), made up of 34 companies, including chip manufacturers and handset makers. The move will be seen as a major competitor to Microsoft, Research in Motion, Palm and Symbian, who make the leading software systems for mobiles. Google’s Android software will be provided to handset makers free of charge and could lead to a price war for operating system licenses and potentially cheaper handsets. In the United States mobile networks such as Sprint Nextel and T-Mobile will carry the Google-powered phones.

iPhone mania.

Is the iPhone as good as its hype? Does iPhone’s much-discussed touch-screen interface really make using the device simpler and more intuitive? That is the question. There are another two products in this usability comparison test were selected for two reasons: They were available, and they had competitive feature sets. In particular, the testers needed a touch-screen phone to compare to the iPhone and a more traditional button-based phone with strong multimedia capabilities. LG Prada has received a fair amount of publicity, which is not yet available from a U.S. cellular carrier. LG declined to participate in these tests
Nokia’s N95, based on the Series 60 variant of the Symbian platform, provides only the more traditional type of button-based navigation, but it is a multimedia powerhouse. It boasts a 5-megapixel camera and can create VGA-quality, 30-frames-per-second videos. It also supports many types of media playback and has a long list of other features including built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS, not to mention a bar-code reader that came with the test device. It has a 2.6-in., 320-by-240 resolution display.
Mobile e-mail in mass.

It is show up that during the last time there are cheaper devices and more mobile access appeared on the market. It means that the more people can use now more mobile applications. With e-mail-capable smart phones now available for the masses, and the masses will start using mobile e-mail.“BlackBerries used to cost $500 or $600, which made them available mostly to people in the boardroom or high-level employees, where that expense could be justified,” Kerton said. “Now, as IT managers are more familiar with mobile e-mail, that brings down the IT challenge. If you add cheaper devices, you have a significant drop in the total cost of ownership. So we’re looking at any employee who spends time away from their desk having e-mail access.”Some of that e-mail access will come via enterprise-class server-based applications such as Microsoft Exchange. But Kerton also predicts the rise of services from vendors such as Visto Corp. and Seven Networks Inc. that are being offered by cellular operators to provide easy, no-configuration access to e-mail for nontechnical users.
