SaY is a mobile phone still at the concept level and has been designed by Simon Yan & Jose M Perez to feature soft blatant colored rubber housing.
This model must be destined for open minded, modern these days’ people.



Another special feature of this brick-shaped device, besides the housing material, is its powerful 4MP built-in camera.
With SaY you can capture clear pictures but it is also equipped with stereo speakers for clear sounds.



Typing must be a pleasure because of its keyboard that is slightly angled for better ergonomics.

These are the pictures of a new mobile phone concept that circulate lately over the Internet.



Unfortunately, the producing company’s name is not known, probably because it does not want to be disclosed, but as I’ve read the concept could become a real product very very soon.
Now let’s see what the pen consists of.

It will have Bluetooth technology enabled and you will be able to connect even headsets to it.
The top and bottom of the thin phone are actually its headset slot and the receiver respectively.

We’ll keep you in touch with the news about this mobile device.

Six organizations have collaborated in a research study involving mobile phone use and they have published the results today.
ICUE/Mills and Boon, Singtones, Cool Gorilla/lastminute, The Light Agency, LocatioNet and Pocket Group are the developers of this research and they have designed 6 mobile applications for making the life easier and full of fun for women.

It seems that 60% of the women that have participated at the study in UK, that own mobile phones, are addicted to these communication devices, but they are using them mainly for texting and calling, rarely taking advantage of the other services and features considered more important by other people.

On the other side, men are the ones that love to benefit from the multimedia special features that Smartphones are providing these days, such as music player and Internet browser.

According to the statistics, just 33% of the women and 47% of the men interviewed use their phones to browse the Internet.

Lastminute together with Cool Gorilla have launched the phrasebook utility for mobile phones, which is a useful tool that helps you when you need to find rapidly a hotel, or just to order a coffee, or even when flirting with the locals.

With amAze application from LocatioNet you are sure you never get lost, because it allows you to get access to clear maps, route-planning, weather forecasts and local search information.

If you are a romantic fiction lover, Mills and Boon offers you the possibility to download books directly on your mobile phone, which is perfect for poolside reading and those journeys into work.

Pocket Group comes with PocketDoctor utility to give you daily helpful advices like how to give up smoking and which is the best diet, or to announce you at a specific hour that you have to take your regular medication.

ReVoice Singtone technology from Singtones allows you to sing your own ringtone, sounding in tune every time.

The Light Agency has the application called M BAR GO which collects shopper habits in order for the services to be analyzed and improved, but for mobile users it has launched Shop Scan Save which is a mobile-based loyalty scheme that enables retailers to benefit from coupon schemes, and the consumers to save their shopping bills.

Finally, the 8GB microSDHC and M2 flash memory cards are now available worldwide.
The high-capacity memory card will surely “Wake Up Your Phone” allowing you to store over 2,000 digital songs, over 5,000 high-resolution pictures, or 5 hours of high-quality MPEG 4 video.

The 8GB microSDHC cards are offered now at a retail price of $139.99, while the M2 at $149.99.
At the end of August, SanDisk announced shipping of its latest 8GB M2 flash memory cards to the mobile phone manufacturers and network operators for evaluation.


After used in Sony Ericsson phones it has been proved that the 8GB SanDisk M2 cards are perfect for growing the customers number who own a model equipped with digital camera, music and video player/recorder.
SanDisk is not only the inventor of the flash storage cards, but it now managed to come out with the 8GB M2, that are the cards with the largest capacity in the world.

According to Jeff Kost, senior vice president and general manager of the Mobile Consumer Solutions division at SanDisk, “With the addition of an 8GB SanDisk M2 card, consumers will instantly have the same amount of storage as the largest capacity iPhone. Furthermore, removable cards make it easy to share content you create with friends, ‘sideload’ content and files from a computer and have virtually unlimited storage by simply purchasing more cards. SanDisk is enabling people to get more out of their phones than ever before.”

BDAS (Background Draw a Secret) is an innovative password technology invented by Dr. Jeff Yan, a computer science lecturer, and Paul Dunphy, a PhD student.



It is meant to help in remembering passwords that most of us have to note in order not to forget, and in the same time this method makes the passwords more secure.
It is totally different than what we are used with, meaning that it's not about a line of numbers, letters and symbols.
This password type consists of a drawing that only the user who created it will know how it is made.


The user will draw a picture on the touchscreen of its PDA for example, and the key points of this unique password will be the image itself, but also the number of pen strokes used, the image’s starting point, and the most important, the order in which it was drawn.

This is what the researchers at Newcastle University are trying to develop, a Graphical Password.
One of the major benefits of this innovation would be for people with language difficulties like dyslexia.
This is a learning disability that can be recognized from the writing, reading and spelling difficulties.

As the researchers say, this type of passwords is almost impossible to crack, and becomes really impossible since the drawing is very complex.
The add-on software for Smartphones will probably be used very soon.

This is what Dr Jeff Yan said:
"Many people find it difficult to remember a password so choose words that are easy to remember and therefore more susceptible to hackers. Most of us have forgotten a pin number or a password at least once, which is why we tend to make them so easy to guess. However, the human mind has a much greater capacity for remembering images, and it's certainly true that a picture is worth a thousand words in this instance."
