In this generation mobile phone are not only used for making calls, it used much more than calls like playing games, watching movies, listening music and surfing on internet etc. But the main thing is mobile phone keeps its traditional design and functionality. Now its time to change the traditional look of mobile phones and shake up the world by innovative design of mobile and hardly recognizable as a phone. According to Dinard da Mata Brazilian designer, the next generation phones are become easier to flow of one function to another while remaining absolutely stunning in the process.


The Da Mata gave this conceptual design to Philips brand and he named it �Fluid�. Its multi-tasking functionality is not all that fluid, its shape allows it to morph from phone to bracelet to gaming system easily � and back again over and over. This attractive deigned phone allows you to wear it on wrist like wrist watch or keep it on your purse or pocket where it belongs: its weight is enough on wrist to comfort its user that it has not been misplaced.
The secret of Philips Fluid�s flexibility are both figurative and literal, it fabrication in flexible OLED display screen which length is almost the entirety to the length of phone. Its display can be change according to its user what type he or she wants to change at a moment. Its numeric keypad appears on it when you need or want to make call. And gaming controls manifest appears when you want to play games in it. And when you search for a specific application then its home screen shows all phone icons smartly on home screen.
Now it is only a concept and this is not available at a moment but it could be available as a consumer product in future. In future we don�t need to carry multiple gadgets or finding phones in our pocket because everything what we need will be in a single compact gadget which we can able to wear it on our wrist.

Crytek, the designers behind the Crysis sequence of games, are mentioned to be in the improve stages of building a new social games network called GFACE that will be capable of some pretty awesome things. In addition to the features you would expect from any social network, such as the ability to connect with friends and share your experiences, GFACE will offer an amazing game streaming service that allows you to team up with friends and play jointly from a number of different devices.


GFACE brings together the same capabilities you get from the likes of Facebook, Twitter, and Google+, and punches in a cloud-based game streaming service similar to that offered by OnLive. But it has some really wonderful features that make it stand out. Touch Arcade reports:

�It works completely in the browser and lets you do all the sorts of social things you would be expecting from your Facebook, Google+ or Twitter � add friends, post about your passions, discover new people, and plenty more. You can also meet up with people online and enjoy media-type things with each other, sort of like how you can watch a movie with friends in an Xbox Live party.�


But here is the best bit: GFACE makes it possible for you to team up with friends and play games with each other online. So what exactly is new? Well, the role you play within a game is based upon on the device you are using. For example, you could be playing a fps on your computer and you get the identical experience you would from any other first-person shooter. However, your friend could be enjoying the same game on an iPhone but in a secondary role, such as air assistance. While another friend, who has playing on an iPad, turns into the commander and gets a top-down view of the battlefield.

Both friends then become part of your group in a way that you do not generally find in first-person shooters. I do not know about you, but I am really excited about GFACE, despite its unusual name.

I generally wear iPod nano as a watch, but with Android wrist-top gadgets that offer more features reaching the market, it is feeling a little behind the times these days. Something like Antonio De Rosa�s new iWatch2 idea design is much more in maintaining with what I would expect Apple to offer in the upcoming future of wearable computing products.
Like the iPhone SJ idea before it, De Rosa�s iWatch 2 (which is itself a refresh of an older iWatch design) appears to be something that you could simply imagine gracing the desk of Apple layout guru Jony I have at this very moment: It has the aluminum and glass attraction of the iPhone 4 and 4S, along with an on-screen UI that looks convincingly iOS motivated.




In spite of what Apple really has planned in the way of wearable wrist-top computing, I however want this idea to fly out of my dreams and on to my wrist. What about you?

The open source resurrection of WebOS is underway, allowing device makers and hackers to install the operating system on tablets or other gadgets as early as September.
WebOS is the platform that HP acquired along with Palm for $1.2 billion in 2010. HP planned to make phones and tablets based on WebOS, with the goal of being an Apple-like company that controlled hardware and software. But being like Apple isn�t easy, and in light of dismal sales, HP scrapped its WebOS hardware plans last fall. Instead of killing WebOS, HP now plans to release it as open source software.

A lot of nitty-gritty technical stuff has to happen between now and September. For starters, HP wants to switch the platform to a standard Linux kernel, which, as The Verge points out, will make loading WebOS onto other devices easier due to the greater availability of drivers. HP is also working on a new version of its application framework, called Enyo, which allows WebOS apps to run through web browsers on other platforms. (Think of being able to run WebOS apps within Chrome, or Internet Explorer, in addition to running on phones and tablets.)

Realistically, device makers aren�t going to put WebOS on a phone or tablet this year. They may end up avoiding the platform entirely. But I can see hackers running wild with the operating system soon after the source code is released. If you�re not afraid to tinker, you might be able to boot WebOS on an Android tablet before the year is through.

Pentax has launched its latest interchangeable lens camera, the Pentax K-01, designed by Marc Newson and compatible with standard Pentax K-mount DSLR lenses.

There�s also 6fps burst still capture, and an ISO range of 100 to 25,600. The manual focus mode features a peaking system for swifter and more accurate adjustments, and there�s an easily twiddled mode dial and chunky controls. A pop-up glash and powered hotshoe are on the top, while ports include USB 2.0, AV out, HDMI and 3.5mm audio in.

Although the K-01 will work with all of Pentax�s K-mount lenses, the company has also prepared a special super-slim option, the smc PENTAX-DA 40mm F2.8 XS, for those who want to keep the bulk down. It�s the world�s thinnest interchangeable lens, Pentax claims.

The Pentax K-01 will go on sale in March 2012, priced at $749.95 for the body alone, or $899.95 for the body and the 40mm lens. The lens itself will be sold separately at $249.95.
