With all the finger-biting ahead of the
Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1’s September release many are idling crossing the calendar while China does what any self-respecting manufacturing-based copyright snubbing culture would do - it releases it first. While many will elect to await the
GPS smartphone to come from
Sony Ericsson why not enjoy globalisation with us and ponder the future of innovation.

Long at the forefront of
wacky gadgets, the Frontier Technology Research Group latest development project focuses on key-less gadgets that are controlled entirely by eye movement.
The research group for NTT DoCoMo is using a technique that allows he wearable head-mounted device to recognize electrical signals generated by eye movement to operate features such as track skipping, music volume and to ‘tell’ the camera where to focus.
While few of us would want this early prototype with us as we sashay around the Village no doubt we can expect this technology to come together in a way that will see eye-capture technology a boon for everyone, not just the motion impaired.

Indian Tech giant Infosys has patented a handset that they expect to have consumers regularly beaming 3D films, games and virtual goods by 2010.
The portable devices will not only be a capable of capturing 3D images but will also use an onboard processor to transform 2D images into 3D projected images, all without loss of resolution.
Possible applications for the devices suggested by Infosys include visualization for arriving doctors in emergency situations and accident/crime investigators.
Of course certain deviants will have their own possible applications in mind and they may or may not include 50’s schlock horror classics.

With the inevitable deluge of
3G iPhone leaks comes few new surprises, live photos and diagrams hint at what can be expected from the forthcoming release.
While the blogosphere is crying ‘bs’ or ’shopped’ on the leaked photos of the iPhone more curious and tentative intimations are being made diagrams of the second coming of the
Apple messiah.
The diagram is a result of information forwarded to case manufacturer’s and for comparison the current edition is on the top and left.
Alternatively if you’ve already had a gutful of the Apple horse and Pony show why not opt out altogether and go for the farmyard hijinks of the Toggolino Phone iClone…come on don’t fight it, give in.

Red might go faster but when it comes to luxury the new white Porsche P9521 is so pure it may well be the next Jesus phone.
This immaculate conception is a product of Porsche and Sagem and with features like fingerprint sensor, 3.2 megapixel camera, touchscreen swivel display along with EDGE and GSM compatibility is a show-stopper.
Housed in a single aluminum block and scratch resistance mineral glass the P9521 is a steal at $2000 from May 2008.
