Nokia N97, iPhone, and Modu Go Head to Head

A lot going on in the mobile industry in the last few days and Israel is in the hot spot (no pun intended). Let’s start with the fact that all 3 cellular providers; Orange, Cellcom, and Pelephone recently announced that they will be launching the iPhone 3Gs over the next few months. The word on the street, and when I say street, I mean Twittersphere of course, is that at least two of the three providers bought 100 thousand iPhones from Apple. Now you have to understand that fact in the context that these providers max out at 150 thousand mobile devices sold annually! So out of the 150 thousand phones they will sell in 2009, 100 thousand will be iPhones?!

 

Intel Outdoes Modu with Its New Technology

OK, being the chemistry dummy that I am, I am not even going to attempt to explain this one to you. All I will say is that Intel is working on what’s called programmable matter, which basically means that in the future we will be able to take an object, decide what shape we want it to take, hit Enter (I am assuming if we are that far in the future, we will just need to think Enter), and walla, the object will reshape. In terms of what this means for the mobile industry, forget Modu or the LG Versa, this technology will enable you to really transform your mobile device based on your mood.
