Let's get acquainted with the views of designers and developers of NEC in the booming market for mobile devices. According to NEC mobile perception becomes more tangible, especially in the areas of entertainment and commerce. In everyday life there is a clear change, a vivid example of this - mobile phones. Already, many do not leave their cell phones. NEC specialists suggest that in the next few years mobile technology will be even more closely intertwined in our lives. First of all we are talking about the fact that consumers perceive the flow of information and communication as a new form of entertainment and recreation. The same applies to all new-fangled mobile devices, frequently performed in the form of accessories. In some way the possession and use of mobile "souvenirs" - this is another form of self-actualization and attitudes.
vial - a network player
Portable music player and communicator. Similar to the pen device used for listening to music via wireless networks. However, as can easily be used as a phone.
A built-in handwriting recognition engine, ie makers suggest that the pen will also use to take notes.
In addition, attached like a notebook device for viewing visual information - text, graphics, video. Depending on the type of material viewed on the screen, built-in keyboard, you can rotate at a convenient angle.
Of course, both components of the vial are able to communicate with each other without wires.
PRISM - home miniteatr
The main charm of PRISM - is its flexible screen that folds easily into a tube inside the main unit. The keyboard, in turn, is inserted into a groove in the bottom.
When the screen is minimized, and the keyboard hidden, the device can be used as a compact music player. The front panel provides a flat speaker. The screen can be pulled only partially, for example, to see the email. Well, when it is fully extended, PRISM is transformed into a personal videoteatr.
FLIPPER - the browser in your pocket
But on such a device, considering many. Positioning several narrowish, but we know that such a device can be applied in numerous areas, would be soft, but a little more time.
So, what's the "scientific innovation? Firstly, it seems that the whole concept consists of a single screen, and that's fine. Secondly, the developers assure that the device is completely controlled by one hand. Thirdly, Jog-dial synchronized with a menu that goes in a circle on the screen beside him.Again, the allegations with the NEC device is convenient to work and right and left hand, as well as vertically.
By the way, Jog-dial can rotate both above and below.
Generally, FLIPPER is the closest to a traditional PDA, and if developers can spend it in the series, we'll get a good machine (especially for fans of reading and books).
Palette - a mobile terminal for teens
Communicator for teenagers. Yes it is true: no one except Sybiko to teens is not is risen. But soil is fertile, is not so right?
The main purpose of the device - entertainment. And not just so, and to network with free and paid services. One example of such services: remove built-in camera, for example, a person. Your photos are processed on a dedicated server under the leadership of the same Palette. And get all sorts of funny comic character properties.
Glass Navi - GPS-navigator
But it is quite interesting. The concept of GPS-navigation in the performance of NEC practically fit into ordinary sunglasses.
The device is able to determine the current coordinates and display all parameters in the three-dimensional form, superimposing them on a real landscape. About the way we show in the James Bond movies. By the way, and maybe Glass Navi simply the fruit of conversion? :)
On top of all, the device can display images with the sizes corresponding to the 52-inch monitor.
