Cameraphone lens – a stylish accessory    [ 28-02-2007 13:38 ]

Author: Verа Kozlova     Translation by: Rytchkova Anja     

There is little wonder in the idea of removable lenses for a cameraphone. Being of minor utility (take into account the quality of built-in cameras) these accessories come out quite relatively often. One can get the lens via Internet shops.

One of the Japanese online shops has a creative vision to this matter – the KC-1 lens is built-in the ring, it can be also attached to the pone. The accessory will go for 1350 Yen, i.e. about $11.

Nokia to introduce an in-any-direction and gaming phones    [ 28-02-2007 12:17 ]

Author: Verа Kozlova   Source: TechCrunch     Translation by: Rytchkova Anja     

Nokia has got a patent on a pair of cellphone technologies. One of them allows using a candy bar phone in different orientations, which is tracked by a special sensor. The labeling of the hard keys may be changeable by operating a handle.

The second technology implies using the stylus instead of the joystick. The stylus is inserted in the joystick socket and can be used as the controller with gaming devices.

Probably, this is a chance for Nokia phone users to use it with game consoles or the device might become an advanced gaming product. I’d remind you that the company is preparing the launch of a new generation of N-Gage platform, which can be used with Nokia S60 3rd Edition smartphones.
