Pizza Hut has launched a new ordering method, via mobile phone, which is perfect for people that work a lot and don’t have time to cook or to take one hour break for eating in a restaurant.
This system is used also by other large restaurant networks such as Domino's Pizza and Papa John's International companies that have invested in online and mobile ordering to increase their sales by targeting new customer sectors.
"We wanted to provide maximum accessibility," said Bernard Acoca, Pizza Hut's director of digital marketing. "We have a core group of customers that is very tech savvy. They use their phones for everything ... We want to be where the consumers are."
With the new strategy, Pizza Hut will earn half of its revenue from online and mobile orders and this will happen in the next five years.
In order to order from Pizza Hut via the online service you only need to create an account on their website registering your phone number and then set up the Pizza Playlist and save your order.
When you are hungry and want to order a pizza, enter the letter “O†and leave a space, then enter the name of your favorite Playlist option.
If you want to use the mobile version instead, you have to set up your account, and open the browser to enter on www.pizzahut.com and log in. Then just browse the menu and place the order.
We will wait and see when this service will be available in Europe too, and until then let’s hope they’ll change the present poor food recipes back as they were previously.
P-Per is a cool cell phone concept with a simple look but very reliable construction, that follows the basic rules of the Green trend, consisting of four layers, the exterior one being the E-Paper display wrapping the entire handset.
Based on the “one function–one part–one material†concept, P-Per is folded layers around a printed circuit board core, facilitating disassembly and recycling.
The materials used for the phone are extruded polycarbonate, hypoallergenic/recyclable titanium, E-Paper screen and the Organic Radical battery that doesn’t contain heavy metals.
The phone is customizable with colors and graphics depending on the user’s taste and can display on its entire surface the favored images chosen by the user.
The built-in camera is of 3MP and supports video calls.
P-Per is very slim and light, measuring 7 mm thickness and has a stunning stand-by display, showing an image and having a 2-minute blazing-fast charge.
This is the creation of Xiao Zhihua, a designer from Shanghai HuaQin Telecom Technology, who was inspired by the magical reflections on a lake and designed a cell phone concept that won the prestigious Red Dot Design Concept Award 2007.
Under the name Fascinating Figure, this phone impresses with a beautiful large transparent display and the look of a sill water surface when powered off.
While operating, it displays flowing music, images, web sites, articles, with water like reflections.
When you receive a call Fascinating Figure can project the information displayed on a side three-dimensionally into a halo or cloud like band around the cell phone, so you won’t need to pick up the phone in order to view the caller’s details every time the phone rings.
It uses a touch-sensitive interface that is customizable depending on your preferences, and you could also adjust the shape and the screen’s orientation.
Let’s say it is a flexible phone that can be operated horizontally, diagonally and vertically, being able to adopt a curved appearance.

If you are tired of using those control buttons of your Bluetooth headset and need something more sophisticated and up to date with the latest technology, you may try BlueAnt V1 from BlueAnt Wireless, one of the coolest innovations introduced at CES 2008.
It is a Bluetooth headset that integrates the BlueGenie Voice Interface and Voice Recognition and Voice Synthesis technologies allowing you tell the headset what you need and it will reply back.
Sounds incredible but it is the world’s first voice controlled Bluetooth headset and the Sensory’s BlueGenie Voice Interface uses the most advanced voice recognition technology that replaces the button use.
On the other hand, the model comes with dual microphones to allow the Voice Isolation Technology to use the latest methods in separating the voice signal coming from the user from the other sounds around, isolating this way all frequencies that affect voices that pass in and out of the Bluetooth headset.
The process leads to environmental noise reduction, echo cancellation and wind noise protection.
"BlueAnt's success is a result of development and focus that goes into every aspect of each of our products,†said BlueAnt CEO, Taisen Maddern. “We have used the BlueAnt Z9 as our foundation for the V1, and then taken our development process one step further. The products may look slightly similar but the technology is more advanced. It is a sophisticated product offering unlike any other headset that is currently on the market. The V1 will lead the way in Voice Controlled Headset technology providing consumers with the kind of functionality that they have been waiting for."
The most advanced Bluetooth headset uses Bluetooth 2.1, multi-point technology for connecting two phones, multi-function car and desk charger, USB charger, a tie clip for attaching to your shirt, inner ear and outer ear speaker gels, and up to 6 hours of talk time.
Its MSRP was established at $119.
