The Future of Mobile Phones
October 7th, 2010 by Dave@LGUK
We have covered content from the ‘TED’ talks before, specifically on the notion of using a headset capable of reading brainwaves in order to essentially control a computer with your thoughts.
Now a PHD student called Fabian Hemmert has used the TED talks to discuss his theories on the future of mobile phones by asking “how can we make digital content graspable?”
He starts by discussing the progression of technology, and how it’s becoming increasingly interactive. Rather than everything being controlled with buttons, we now have touchscreen displays controlling more and more technology. The same counts for the Nintendo Wii, it responds...

The future of streaming music from your Android handset just got a little closer.
Tech Crunch yesterday revealed plans for Google to launch a music service in the imminent future. Exciting news for all GW620 fans. This means that depending what service Google will be offering, it would make Google a Spotify competitor.
This news comes after it was revealed the Spotify service is to be included with an Android phone. This is an interesting move and hopefully it is only the beginning of phones offering high quality music streaming without having to compromise the quality of the handset.

Farming of the future? Plantagon’s vertical farm

With 80% of all people on the planet projected to live in cities by 2050, food production will have to move into cities if it is to remain cost-efficient.A Swedish-American company called Plantagon has conceived of an incredible solution: a massive urban greenhouse contained within a geodesic dome.
The 'vertical farm' consists of a spiral...

Holographic mobiles on the way?
June 24th, 2008 by Dave@LGUK
Over at Product Reviews Peter discusses the possibility of holographic mobile phones in a few years (complete with excellent geeky homage to Star Wars), but Peter worries that as cool as such an addition might be, it might not be so useful:
