Adobe To Support Nokia and Palm with Full Flash

When you surf the web and sees fancy animation with music and all, and clickable button in that animation, you see flash. Until recently, full flash content can't be viewed and played in cellphones. Only limited flash content called Flash Lite. But this is about to change.


Form Macworld, it is reported that Adobe plans to support Microsoft, Google, Nokia and Palm with full flash capability in the manufacturers' platforms. While implementation is still questionable, but this news is welcome in the developers community.

With this forward step, we can expect to see more interactive and creative apps and contents delivered to our phones. As you can see often in entertainment websites, such as official movie sites, or television sites, full Flash content adds a lot of spice to the browsing experience. Expect this will arrive in your phone too.

Surely better and bigger cellphones with faster processors and bigger ram will be required to correctly show the full Flash content. The digital revolution truly arrives at our door, where we will be able to view richer content in our handsets.

New SIMSense Technology from Oberthur Enables Motion Detection Regardless of Cellphone Types

Imagine you are in a busy meeting, and your cellphone rings. Of course you can't answer, but you can't just reject it either. What happened then? You just rejected it anyway. Not now. Obertrhur's technology called SIMSense enables you to give instruction to your cellphone just by moving your cellphone, regardless the type of your cellphone.

No it's not accelerometer. It is something better. You can control your phone by shaking it. Because it's the SIM that's equipped with the motion sensor, and not your phone. One application example is in the aforementioned situation. You can just shake off your cellphone, and it automatically sends a polite rejection sms. Or you can access menu by tapping your cellphones, and shaking it also.

Sounds wonderful? Check out more here. Some of the highlights quoted from prnews :

- Busy call: simply by shaking or tapping the handset the busy recipient
of the call can send a predetermined text message to the caller
informing that they are busy and will call back later
- Menu selection: the user can locate the menu of services and
applications just by shaking or tapping the handset
- Body fall: in an emergency (such as a person falling down) if the
handset is close to the human body, the smart application is able to send
a predetermined text message to a predetermined point of contact, such as
relatives or dial for an ambulance

Though it will take some time before network carriers adopt it, rest assure they will. With premium price perhaps. But this is an interesting technology, and may help disabled people tremendously.

JBL modu is a hybrid of phone and also mini boombox

While 'traditional' walkman phones or multimedia phones like Nokia sports regular tin-canny speakers, JBL has Modu. Modu is basically a portable speaker with cellphone attached. Yep you are right.

JBL tries to install a cellphone into its portable. The result is Modu. It is very thick, though, but the promise of kicking bass from a JBL speaker might make you drool over it.

There are no details about the phone spec. But it is must for a music phone like this to have an external memory and also big internal memory to store hundreds of song. We just wonder about the battery. How many mAH will it carry. As surely those speakers will need a lot of power to kick the bass and treble nicely.

Nokia N86 8 mp camera phone from Nokia

Within the megapixel camera race, Nokia is surely lagging behind. Sony Ericsson C905 8 mp has been launched several months ago. While Sony Ericsson Idou is already teasing with 12 mp. Nevertheless, here we go, the late upgrade of N85, the 8 megapixel cam multimedia slider phone from Nokia.



While sporting no major upgrades other than 8 mp cam and dual LED, the Nokia N86 sticks its design to standard N-series. Roundish. Black. With rather minimalists buttons. Being a slider, the keypads are no-nonsense oval shaped.

Featured in a Nokia's Far East showcase in Singapore, Nokia N86 gathers not so good response in blogosphere. Most Nokia enthusiasts are not very interested with the proposition. Being positioned as a member of N-series family, Nokia N86 only uses regular LED. Although there are two LEDs, but everybody who has been using camera phones know that Xenon flashlight is way way stronger and brighter than ordinary LEDs.

One positive feature is that it includes standard 3.5 mm earphone jack, so yes you can plug in your favourite Sennheiser earphones directly. It is also pre-installed with Ovi, an application store service by Nokia.

Compared to other offerings in the market, this Nokia N86 does not offer much. Samsung Innov8 with strong imaging features, or the latest Samsung OmniaHD surely packs more. Samsung OmniaHD even gets High definition video recording and playback ability. A far far better valued phone compared to N86.
