Beginning designers Daniel Kwast, Whiskey Mueller and Karl Dahr from Danish Designskolen Kolding design school, have developed Nokia Frame – an interesting and promising concept. The company is constantly and actively seeking new ideas for its future development, because this and a number of other concepts were launched by Nokia.

The designers say that Nokia Frame demonstrates incredible features and a fantastic future, which can provide the updated Symbian OS operating system. The concept relies fully on the augmentation of reality with which the performance of traditional “phone” functions and exchange data with other phones or mobile devices is incredibly simple with the use of drag-n-drop technology.
In particular, it is assumed that in order to transfer the file to another mobile phone, one needs to only drag the virtual image file on a real phone, visible through the transparent glass of Nokia Frame. Other actions, performed with the help of this phone, are made on the same, intuitively understandable level.

First of all, there is a new version of Nokia Ovi Suite 2.1 Beta, which solves many of the problems found in the previous versions.

Manufacturers of cellular phones like to embed gadgets into their most unusual devices – from electric shavers and lighters to portable projectors. A new step in this direction was made by the engineers of the Finnish company Nokia, equipping the device with radar.
The device, named “mobile radar”, performs the same function as the common traffic police radar – it measures the distance, direction and speed of a moving object. During the presentation, the mobile phone has successfully identified the direction and speed of walking of an ‘experimental object “- one of the staff members of Nokia Research Center.

One of the possible applications of the unusual feature can become the remote control of the phone, – said Nokia Conversations. This radar differentiates even the hand movements and allows, for example, to increase or decrease the volume of a built-in player with mere gestures.
It should be noted that the control of the surrounding space is made without the participation of the camera, by only electromagnetic waves. Therefore, mobile radar “can be used without taking the phone out of the pocket or backpack. It recognizes even objects that are behind a wooden door.
Radar is just one of more than 40 inventions, over which works the company’s research center at present time. All of them are aimed at improving and expanding the functions of mobile communication, but not all will be transformed into real serial devices, said The Independent. In particular, the company says nothing about the expected deadline, when its phones can have their own radars.
