Sharp’s Multi Touch LCD

This is a pretty interesting breakthrough for Sharp. The multi touch LCD screen is definitely going to come in handy for displaying maps on their car’s GPS system and what not.

Sharp Corporation has announced a new proprietary “System LCD” equipped with touch screen and scanner functions. The company claims to have successfully embedded an optical sensor, used in devices like scanners, in each pixel of the LCD panel. This technology eliminates the need for films, resulting in a thin clear screen display compared to conventional touch screens. Sample shipments will begin in September of this year, with volume production slated to start next spring.

Watching TV on your cellphone

This has got to be the coolest ever:

If only I knew what the model is. It says Aquos on the screen so I am going to assume it’s Sharp. Can anyone confirm that?

NTT DoCoMo and Hutch Essar Fallout

The deal that NTT DoCoMo and Hutch Essar signed last December on the i-Mode licensing in India has been given the boot. Apparently it is due to the change of environment in both companies so both parties have come to a conclusion that it wasn’t time yet it seems.


NTT DoCoMo and Hutch Essar Not to Proceed With i-mode Contract

Tokyo, Japan, May 7, 2007 - (JCN Newswire) - NTT DoCoMo, Inc. announced that the company and Indian mobile operator Hutchison Essar Ltd. (”Hutch”) have agreed not to proceed with the contract signed on December 15, 2006 regarding the licensing of the i-mode(TM) mobile Internet service in India.

DoCoMo and Hutch had been striving to launch i-mode service in India within 2007. Due to the changes in business environment, both companies concluded that it would be difficult to launch i-mode service at this time and agreed not to proceed.

*i-mode and FOMA(TM) are trademarks or registered trademarks of NTT DoCoMo, Inc. in Japan and other countries.

Imagine what it would have done to India’s economy.

High Tech Wireless Zone

Japanese government is set to create a high tech wireless zone next year in one of its islands. The wireless sensors will allow activities such as:-

# allowing doctors to remotely monitor the health of the elderly
# alerting motorists to nearby pedestrians
# enabling vegetables carrying IC tags to send information such as where they were grown to shoppers’ mobile phones

This is made possible by the corporation between the Japanese government, telco companies, electronic manufacturers as well as other related companies. It’s definitely a big job that requires the expertise in many fields. I think this is a big giant step for humanity and technology.

Is it wishful thinking to hope for such things to occur in all countries? *Crosses fingers*
