Worlds Fastest 3D Gamer Phone
![]() Other features of the phone include it being equipped with an acceleration sensor to enable users to control their games by moving the headset up and down. I suppose this is similar to Samsung's latest idea: they've designed some kind of dialing system where by the phone is swung around to make the numbers "in the air" and the ability to answer or hang-up the phone by just shaking it. Can you image how stupid this is going to look? The game development company Nexon has currently developed some games for the device, and a greater number of games will be "offered soon."

While phones and PDAs are a logical step for combining them, at least in some people's minds, I believe gaming machines should be gaming machines, no more. Phone/games don't really fit together... One has nothing to do with the other.
And waving the phone in the air? Can you IMAGINE seeing someone doing that... I hope those get widespread just so I can get a good laugh... Imagine, a few people in the mall walking around waving their phone in patterns in the air... Or seeming to throttle it trying to hang up... |

I had the same impression of the "shaking" functionality. Samsung's phone has an 'Accelerometer' built-in to calculate and ascertain movement in three dimensional space and then carry out commands according to those calculations. It's an interesting technology, but I see greater benefits in recognizing that the phone is being dropped, or using it in a device like a portable MP3 player with a hard-disk, so you can park the head of the drive and stop play before it hits the ground. Apple is/has applied for a patent on this technology. Of course, IBM invented it a couple of years ago... go figure! I suppose Apple feels invincible these days?!

If I remember correctly, patents can be filed as long as no one objects... Look at Microsoft's patent profile... CLEAR prior art on many of them.
And (semi-offtopic) software patents are evil. Last edited by Chaos; 01-14-2005 at 08:56 PM. |

Yeah and Google's recent patent for "systems and methods for highlighting search results". Patents of this kind show the growing absurdity of the matter.
