Armani dresses up Samsung
July 31, 2007 | Leave a Comment
I wonder why big mobile phone brands would like to cooperate with design brands? All of the benefit seems to go for the design company in guestion. LG did it with Prada and everybody were touting the beautiful design and good product specifications. It was an expensive phone so ofcourse it had nice specs, but what set it apart in design was more or less all black colouring, which could have been done by LG alone. Prada smoooooothly collected all acclaim.
Usually brands work so that they invest money into developing their own brand and not pouring money into others’ brands. Therefore if one needs to introduce new concept it is usually done under different name like Nokia did with Vertu and Toyota did with Lexus. Now another Asian mobile phone manufacturer is at it. Samsung wants to team up with Armani to create an exclusive (this is the magic word and magic is done by adding e.g. all black colouring, special leather case, copyrighted ringtone by Sting and beuatiful hard paper box with Armani on the top) mobile phone for high-end market. Well, good luck, hope it sells, at least we all know how the phone will look like when it is out for sale.

One million downloads
July 29, 2007 | Leave a Comment
So many downloads is a big deal, yeh? In games industry, gold and platinum should mean something else beside production phases. Glamour comes with milestones in sales 100,000 and 500,000 or 1,000,000. These are the things to report and overglow across the web. Mobliss is doing the right thing by coming out and putting this message of one million sold “Deal or No Deal” mobile game in front of our eyes.

Motorola projects a projector
July 29, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Lately Motorola has been mostly KonKerned with naming their basic phone line differently. As old truth points, it is quite insane to keep on doing the same old and waiting for new results. However, it hasn’t really been the catchy names but the clumsy phones they churned to markets. Evidently it is time for Motorola to strike back with a flair of product innovation.
Motorola has signed an agreement with Microvision to develop a Pico Projector Display for mobile applications. Smart move because Motorola is in desperate need for new quimmick now that their RAZR pony doesn’t sell anymore. By using Microvision’s ready technology this new products time-to-market should be relatively short. Christmas market anyone?

What about battery time? We all hate Nokia for various reasons, but short batterytime is not among them. Everybody hates Motorola because of their wheeble batteries. Now that this power hungry projector is placed inside a sleek “MOTR-phone“, what will happen? Sleek becomes bleak and fashion designers start to tantalize about needed diet. Luckily robusto is nice coffee flavour and we also have some more room to fit XL-battery inside MOTR.
Did you ever play with your teacher? Reflecting sunlight to some private areas with your wrist watch? Now this projector is a whole new game in town. Tease your classmate by projecting a heart or an ass.
