Taking into account the plenty of touch-control devices (Apple iPhone, LG Prada, LG Viewty, HTC Touch/Slide, Samsung F700 and so on) Nokia’s idea might come in handy. By the way it might be good with portable players and other touch-sensitive devices. The pictures to the patent show the better way to apply it.

HTC has officially announced HTC Touch Dual slider, an heir of HTC Touch communicator. It’s the second device with TouchFLO screen technology for finger and stylus input. I’d note that its slide-out keyboard contains 12 (traditional numeric) or 20 buttons (two letters for each button) depending on the region and operator’s preferences. The European release of HTC Touch Dual will take place later this month.

Asus has introduced a new ultra mobile PC – the R2E. Unlike it predecessor working on Celeron this UMPC is based on Intel Ultra Mobile Platform 2007 (A110 800 MHz processor and 945GU chipset). The manufacturer says that the shift to the new platform will lower power consumption and increase productivity of the device.

Asus R2E comes with a 7” 800x480 pixels display, 1 GB DDR2, 80 GB HDD, Wi-Fi 802.11g and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR interface. In addition there are HSDPA-adapter, 1.3-megapixel web-camera and built-in GPS (optionally). The sales of Asus R2E will be launched next month at €1119.

The Engadget.com has recently posted pictures of an upcoming Nokia N94i, which is peculiar for running the Microsoft Windows Mobile OS, not Symbian. On the photos we see “winxp.jpg” indicator.

Motorola posted pictures of a Symbian-phone on its site – MOTORIZR Z8 is colored completely black without green elements:

In the Internet you can come across some data on the new RIM devices. We are likely to expect soon a version of the BlackBerry Curve with Wi-Fi onboard (index 8320). The BlackBerry Curve 8300 was announced this May and positioned as the most compact and lightweight BlackBerry smartphone with the QWERTY-keyboard. In addition there is some info on a BlackBerry Curve version with GPS (index 8310). This device has been recently introduced in Europe by Vodafone.

The source suggests that the company will release an heir of the BlackBerry Pearl smartphone in fall. There will be GSM and CDMA versions. Both models feature similar specs, but the CDMA version will get GPS and lack Wi-Fi. And the BlackBerry Pearl 2 (GSM/EDGE) will on the contrary support Wi-Fi and no GPS. The info is preliminary and not officially confirmed.

Today Samsung Telecommunications America officially announced the availability of its SGH-T729 phone codenamed Blast from the American operator T-Mobile. Its main advantage is a QWERTY-keyboard, so the users get the opportunity to enter lots of messages (text and e-mail) with more comfort.

Nokia has officially announced the release of the Prism handsets: Nokia 7900 and Nokia 7500. Both models are peculiar for their unusual geometry design. They will be available in stores in 3Q 2007 at the approximate price of €400 for Nokia 7900 Prism and €210 for Nokia 7500 Prism (taxes not included).

Nokia 7900 Prism is packed in a glossy black shell with an anodized aluminum back panel and laser-etched signature. The phone works in GSM (quad band) and 3G (dual band) networks, equipped with an OLED 16M color display, a 2-megapixel camera and 1 GB of onboard memory. In addition, the company marks 49 colors of display and keyboard backlight and “living wallpaper”, which changes during the day depending on the battery and signal level.

Valleywag realizes that Google will not likely do phone hardware themselves. Whatever. As long as it supports the software, hopefully some shiny Mobile Google OS, we're interested. Either way, this is what the WSJ and Reuters said today:
•"Now it is drafting specifications for phones that can display all of Google's mobile applications at their best, and it is developing new software to run on them. The company is conducting much of the development work at a facility in Boston, and is working on a sophisticated new Web browser for cellphones."
•Google has invested hundreds of millions on the project.
•Google has also developed prototype phones, with partners like LG Electronics.

• "ads in the mobile phone is that they are twice as profitable or more than the nonmobile phone ads because they're more personal" says Eric Schmidt (from AllthingsD)
•In Europe, T-Mobile and Orange are believed to be partners. Verizon rejected their plans in the US because they wanted to share ad revenue.
•Taiwan's High Tech Computer Corp to design a Linux software-based phone for launch in the first quarter of 2008

If you’re looking for a cell phone that is a bit more personalized this Toshiba fanfun 815T from the firm Softbank in Japan is just the phone. Especially for us girls, thre are a couple I could see some guys dealing with but frankly for the most part the styles are quite feminine.

It features HSDPA and FeliCa. It also has a 2.4 inch clear screen liquid crstal, face recognition and IC card lock security functions. The phone will be coming out August 8th.

The FCC site has posted the documents on a newbie by Motorola and Oakley – O Rokr Pro Bluetooth-glasses. This isn’t a pioneer solution from both companies, earlier there were RAZRWire and O ROKR glasses. The O Rokr Pro sunglasses can be used as a Bluetooth-headset with a cell phone and also as headphones to listen to the music from the phone or a compact player.

At Nokia’s site you can come across a profile of a new phone marked 5610. According to the xml-file the device is based on S40 5th edition platform, equipped with a QVGA-display and Bluetooth 2.0 (A2DP) interface.

Currently there are no details on the specs of Nokia 5610. Probably, they will be cleared up at an event in London set for August 29. There we expect a number of big announcements.

ABI Research has held a survey of the market for mobile applications and services for business users, i.e. solutions for e-mail and Internet access, sales automation tools, cartographic services and applications and so on. Analysts foresee that income in the sphere will reach $100 billion by 2012.

The industry is said to be currently on peak. Despite that the major income flows from voice services (business users), the share of data transfer services will take 26% by 2012. ABI Research reports that income from business services of all categories (including voice communication) will amount to $242 billion in 2007 and $389 billion in 2012.

Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) has approved the specification of Bluetooth 2.1+EDR. The new version brings about some improvements. First of all, the company has simplified recognition and connection process with Near Field Communication (NFC) technology. Thus the connection gets set up through fewer steps, at the same time it is secure.

But the rumor has it that on August 29 we will see a bunch of new smartphones - N95 8Gb edition, N81 and N82, Nokia 5200/5300 XpressMusic feature phones in black and the company's very own new online service that will allow to buy and upload music content. Supposedly, Nokia's music library will feature over a million tracks. Again, no official statement is available as of today - undoubtedly they will be raining down on August 29.

The Glofiish X800, which is a communicator, has made it through the FCC chambers - the device was first showcased earlier this year, in March. Some time later it won the "Best Choice" award at Computex 2007. The Glofiish X800's release was slotted for Q2 2007.

Apple has announced that its online iTunes Store has made it to the 3 billion sold-downloaded tracks watermark. According to the company's data, today the media library of iTunes features over 5 mln tracks, 550 TV shows and 500 movies.

Apart from that, as Apple claims, iTunes has recently outrun Amazon and Target, moving up to the place of the third largest music retailer in the US. The company assumes that podcasts, integration with the iPod and the iPhone, as well as price cuts for album purchases and other amenities have made for such stellar sales.

The GSA (Global mobile Suppliers Association) survey, published on July 26th, 2007 confirms that 311 HSDPA-capable devices are launched in the market, which is over 6 times the number reported in a similar GSA survey one year ago (50 HSDPA devices, July 31, 2006). The number of suppliers increased from 16 to 71 in the same period.

The range of devices identified in GSA's survey addresses all market segments: 137 mobile phones 64 PC datacards (PC cards and embedded modules) 51 notebooks 32 Wireless Routers 23 USB modems 3 Personal Media Players with HSDPA-connectivity 1 camera with HSDPA-connectivity63 HSDPA devices support, or can be upgraded to, a high-speed downlink capability of 3.6 Mbps peak. 42 devices support, or can be upgraded to, a high-speed downlink capability of 7.2 Mbps peak. And at least 24 devices support, or can be upgraded for, HSUPA (High Speed Uplink Packet Access), initially delivering 2.1 Mbps (peak) for the uplink direction.

Also, GSA recently reported that over half of all commercially launched HSDPA networks have also commercially launched GSM/EDGE for service continuity and the best user experience of mobile broadband services. Manufacturers are supporting this requirement, and the GSA survey confirms over 70% of HSDPA devices are multi-mode, supporting the GSM/EDGE functionality.

Justamp has unveiled images of Nokia 5200/5300 XpressMusic in a new color - unlike the original editions, these two are clad in black plastic. No word on the European release date as yet, however if this is a real deal, then Nokia might launched them on August 29, supposedly along with some additions to the N-series: 8-Gb N95, N81, N82 and others.

As you remember, Nokia 5200 and 5300 XpressMusic were inaugurated last fall - these are music-drive slider-type phones, originally offered in white casings with colour-accentuated insets.

Motorola has put up images of six new entry-level phones on its official site, all coming from the W-series in candybar-type form-factor. Since there are no official technical specifications of these models given by Motorola, apart from the six photos, we can assume only one thing - three of them might well have bundled radio, while the other three handsets match their brothers in arms functionality-wise, yet have no radio module onboard..

Future iPhones could utilize technology that converts text to voice messages and do so over voice channels instead of GSM. Such a system is described in a recently-published patent filed by Apple called "Multimedia data transfer for a personal communication device," which would essentially turn the mobile devices into walkie talkies for multimedia data. It could also serve to benefit users who are visually impaired by providing vocalized versions of the data being sent.

The patent specifies that the vocalization of the multimedia data wouldn't be done with the help of a backend server. Instead, it would be done locally on the sending device itself and then transmitted to the receiving device through a voice channel. This means that the devices could "talk" to each other without having to utilize cell minutes, like the walkie-talkie-like functionality (also known as "Push to Talk") already built into some cell phones. Once received, the data can then be converted into an audio signal, which the patent says would then be output through something like a speaker or headphones.

However, for those who prefer sending SMSes instead of making phone calls, a system that translates all text and multimedia data into voice output could be quite the turnoff. That's why Apple has specified that the receiving device can perform processing on the data once it's received, translating it back into a text or multimedia message if that's what the user specifies. The patent also says that the user can choose to receive "simple text messages" that would cause the full, vocalized message to be stored on the voicemail server with a simple notification of having received the data displayed on screen.

Apple notes that adding these options to cell phones or other communication devices would be "particularly well suited for people having visual problems or in those situations where viewing the data on a small display screen (typical of most personal communication devices) is problematic." Although cell phone screen readers already exist for the visually impaired, they are costly (several hundred dollars apiece) and the functionality doesn't come built into the devices themselves. Such a system would, at the very least, streamline the process of receiving text or multimedia data and translating it into vocalized form, and would (hopefully) cost significantly less.

However, the system would prove much more useful for that purpose if it could be utilized on all incoming data—not just data sent and received over the voice channel. Visually impaired people need to read their text messages that come through the cell network too, you know. And for the visually blessed among us, forget visual voicemail: how cool would it be to receive text message or e-mailed transcriptions of voicemail left on the server? Apple's patent opens up lots of possibilities for future iterations of the iPhone, but we're left to speculate on whether or not we will actually see them materialize.
