I would like to see a cellphone incorporate a virtual keyboard. With the phone turned to landscape mode with an added kickstand, it could give the needed angle to produce such an effect. It would be the ultimate full qwerty phone.Reward: a free product
Why not incorporate a mini PIR into a phone. It could be enabled, for example, if you use your phone as an alarm to wake up. If you accidently press 'off' instead of 'snooze', the PIR would activate after a couple of minutes. If the PIR detected no activity (because you are asleep), the alarm could be activated again..Then, you would never sleep through your alarm again!It could also be used for a proximity alarm, work through bluetooth etc etcReward: Someone to action my idea!
Have you ever pointed something out to a friend but they never realize what you are pointing at? My idea is to have dual laser pointers on the sides of glasses so you can point this out to your somewhat clueless friends. Reward: Help clueless friends
I have an idea for an iPod or mp3 player which functions similiar to your favorite radio station. Your own songs would play but after a set number of songs an audio news flash would come up. You could predetermine what type of news (sports, national, etc) you would want. It could present a wide array of things including weather, concert updates, or any kind of interesting information. People listen to the radio to get news but are constantly bothered by the same songs played over and over and annoying DJ's. This way people wouldnt even have to read the paper in the morning. They could just turn their iPod on in their car and get updated while still listening to their favorite songsReward: Credit
I would like to see cell phones that have a panic button that could be activated if someone was being attacked. The button would be textured so that it could be identified by feel even if it couldn't be seen. It would have a depress-and-slide mechanism so it couldn't be set off accidentally (and there would be a hefty fine if it were set off "accidentally" more than once). On activation, the phone would sound a loud siren, and 911 would be dialed automatically, with the phone going to loudspeaker mode so the attacker would know that 911 had been called. The GPS in the phone would permit the police to locate the attack. The 911 dispatcher would know that the call was from a phone panic button and would send help even if the person calling could not respond. This may well exist already as a stand-alone device, but people are far more likely to be able to reach their cell phones quickly. In fact, they're probably walking along talking on their phones already, which is why they didn't notice that someone was sneaking up on them in the first place!Reward: 1. The satisfaction of knowing that some muggings and rapes had been thwarted. 2. Free phones for my family.
