The coolest things for the coolest phones
Another in our ongoing series of posts with headlines that sound like drug fuelled fever dreams..
Applied Nanodetectors – a UK based company that makes nanoscale sensors for the healthcare and environmental modelling industry – has produced a modifed Nokia N95 phone that is capable of detecting the ’scent’ of disease on a person’s breath.
The secret [...]
Nokia is planning to take the soon-to-be open Symbian OS and put it in a laptop-type device.
Nokia’s CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo confirmed the rumours that have been flitting about Symbian since Nokia took over ownership of the OS and promised to open up its source code to developers.
“We don’t have to look even for five years [...]
The iPhone is not really the go-to device for high grade image manipulation. But for us peasants, unable to afford a nice tablet PC, the iPhone’s touchscreen does present a tantalizing opportunity to have a go at some fancypants digital finger painting.

The side vents suggest it might do…
A new piece of ‘Trojan Horse’ malware has been spotted in the wild that can turn Symbian S60 phones into automated SMS spam bots.
Dubbed ‘Sexy View‘ by anti virus researchers, the attack takes the form of an SMS message containing the words ’sexy view’ or ‘play boy’ and a link that, if followed, will prompt [...]
At Mobile World Congress 08, we were interested in Garmin’s first GPS device-stroke-phone, the nuvifone G60. This year however, the newly entwined Garmin-Asus was showing off the much, much nicer M20.
The basic idea is the same of course: to make a touchscreen phone that makes the most out of Garmin’s navigational smarts, and the M20 [...]
It’s not so many years ago that Korea was the place you went to source cheap, almost knock-off heavy engineering products such as oil tankers, construction ‘I’ beams, and cars. Samsung’s Memoir camera phone demonstrates how quickly things change. The metal cased touchscreen phone with an 8MP camera has a build quality that matches anything [...]
