Camera Phones Plaza

I don’t know why people are more and more captivated by the idea of transparency when it comes to the gadgets they use on a regular basis. When I wrote an article about a transparent music player, created by an eccentric designer, Mac Funamizu, I thought that it was just the result of a mind that is used to see things differently and that chances are one in a million for someone else to imagine another device, conceived in the same manner.

They want to see through things, maybe because they’re somehow afraid of the unknown or maybe because they want to surpass the boundaries generated by superior entities. No matter the reason, transparency is the word of the day and it applies to this NEC concept phone, called the “Flask”, which is a very ingenious device, as the external casing is entirely transparent. This way, you can see the liquid fuel cell power that is stored inside the phone.

Answering to acute demands of this new era, all related to the very well-known and long debated environmental issue, the technology based on the liquid fuel cell power is an alternative when it comes to saving the Planet. On the other hand, the liquid drains as you use the NEC mobile phone, so it gives you the information you need concerning how much power is there left. The bad thing is that the company didn’t give us important details with regard to the recharging of the device.

As far as the interface is concerned, it seems that the phone is provided with a display that is sensitive to touch or based on the e-paper technology.

The overall aspect of the NEC mobile phone is undoubtedly a lit bit feminine, as you can easily see from the picture, due to the soft color combinations, but I have a hunch that not only women will show interest in such a device. The only problem with it might be the price. Because, you know, ground-breaking technologies are pretty expensive.

During 16-20 April, at Fondamenta Jahier Via Solari 37-39 in Milan, Italy, will take place the Japan Design 2008 exhibition hosted by 15 Japanese companies which focus on design innovation.

There, NEC is exposing its cell phones with the unique feature of sensing the emotional expression.

This can be seen on the phones’ casing as they change the exterior texture and colors.

The other NEC mobile phone is not less impressive than the NEC N095µ. NEC N905i is another addition to the NTT DoCoMo latest phone releases, and it has not a 2MP but a 5.2MP built-in camera with auto focus and face detection capabilities, so you can be sure that your pictures and videos will have a good quality no matter if you take them in your home or while on the go.



Also, the phone provides high speed web browsing via HSDPA connectivity and you can watch your favorite TV shows by turning the phone in the horizontal position, using the built-in 1-Seg TV tuner with the circular control button, specially designed for the TV function.



Like the previous described model, NEC N905i comes in a few cool housing colors: Black, Pink, Red and White.

Also called Flask, the NEC phone concept is coming in an innovative design and rumors say that it will be released later this year.

The spectacular part of it is the fact that it is powered by a liquid fuel cell that is disappearing when power is drained away and the model is featuring also a touch-sensitive display.

It is known that fuel cells differ from standard batteries in that they consume reactant which must be replenished and on the other hand, the standard types store electrical energy chemically in a closed system.
The electrodes in the fuel cells are catalytic and more stable while a battery’s electrodes are reacting and changing when the battery is charged and discharged.

NEC describes Flask as a regular mobile phone with enclosed ultra-high-density packaging technology and the fuel cell technology for an innovative functionality.

The students at Korean Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology has created an innovative device similar with the one used by doctors to check your livers health.
This medical device is designed in such a way to be used easily by anyone who owns a cell phone and wants to find out from time to time how are his/her livers.

Maybe you are wondering what the exact use of this device is.
Well, the most appropriate would be for checking your livers’ state after a party where you had some drinks, or a similar situation.

This liver checker must be connected to your mobile phone in order to make the analysis, and then it stores the result for two of your blood’s enzymes in order to send it to a specialized person, a doctor, who will explain your situation in detail.
