Google Sync for your mobile phone(s)

“Google Mobile Sync will push and pull any changes to contacts or calendars over the air. On the iPhone these occupy the regular calendar and address book applications, meaning that things will work just as they normally do. It’s all done via an Exchange server at Google’s end, which means that things should actually function properly.”

I’ve been an early adopter of the news item showing Nokia Morph, a concept design for some time in the future.

I dare to say, that majority of these features will be available (perhaps not in a single mobile phone) by 2015.

What do you think?

Nokia unveils a mobile phone that morphs

Something for all the sci-fi mobile geeks out there travelling in the vicinity of the interstellar intersection of mobile and nanotechnology hype vectors…

Nokia Morph

A new concept mobile phone, unveiled by Nokia, connects mobile and nanotechnology with greentech - which surely sit among your favorite 10 buzzwords.

First a couple of pictures to wet your appetite.

Nokia Morph - phone mode

Thanks to blissful world of nanotechnology from which we seem to expect everything we saw in sci-fi movies some years a ago, Nokia Morph will be able to change shape while maintaining (and adapting!) functionality. Here’s how it looks in

Nokia Moprh - open mode

There’s also a hands-free mode that in the case of Nokia Morph will be called wrist mode - mobile brain goes onto your wrist, handsfree part on your ear.

As usual, without a video with someone actually using, bending and sitting on this mobile this news is particularly interesting for people into horoscopes (as the mock-up shows). ;-) In the meantime, you can drool over this marvel of creative power in a animated video created by Nokia designers.

”Although very little has been said about the Morph’s technical capabilities, pictures show how, in theory, the handset’s able to alter its state between a watch-like mode, a credit-card shape and a traditional mobile phone. No dimensions are given, but the Morph appears to be extremely thin no-matter what state it’s in.”

Until then, I’m sure everyone will continue to hype about nanotechnology. I know I will… O:-)

Here’s an interesting talk called “Our cell phones, ourselves” by Jan Chipchase, the principal researcher at Nokia, who is travelling the globe in the search of human behavior patterns in relationship to (mobile) communication and beyond. Alternatively, he’s called a (mobile) user anthropologist. The results of such research should affect the mobile communications in the next 3 to 15 years. [via TED]

It’s been an inspiring talk for me in a number of ways, and I hope it will be also for mobile and communication geeks among you. :-)
