Mobiles have gone from bricks to iPhones – so what’s next?

The Nokia Morph: not likely any time soon, sadly

Unwired View

Many manufacturers have looked at the humble mobile phone and looked at ways to improve it. But not many have decided that more mechanical parts are needed, as in the case of the Mobiado Professional 105GMT Gold.

‘Why the GMT?’ you might ask. Well, that’s because Mobiado has stuffed two mechanical watches at the bottom of the handset, in a ‘why on earth would you need that?’ style move.

Three panels…. are you mad??

At the 3GSM event in Macau, TheMedicalPhone showed off a new flip device, the iCEPhone, which extended outwards not once, but twice.

The device has a gaming style keypad and a full QWERTY keyboard, as well as a three inch touchscreen to boot, so even if you accidentally break one interface, there’s always another to back you up on this WinMo-powered handset.
