The most remarkable about Love Canvas is the delivery of emotion and feeling in video communications. For example, you can draw and send the shape of heart that conveys the feeling of love. When you write “I love you” on the screen, the receiver can read the same phrase on the screen of his or her own mobile phone. You can also send various emoticons and vibrations by touching the screen.

Pantech announced the launch of Love Canvas (IM-R300), a Sky-brand touch-screen phone with special features for video communications through SK Telecom.

Love Canvas allows users to send texts, pictures, emoticons and vibrations expressing the sender’s emotional status. The cell phone supports terrestrial DMB and M-Commerce, and features a navigation system and an external memory slot.

Does Blackberry a worthy iPhone killer?

Posted by admin | Category: Mobile Phone, Smartphone, Trend Watch & News

Many analyst even I also complain that every new touchscreen handset is promoted as an “iPhone killer”, yet I can’t stop posting about them. This “iPhone killer” story is particularly interesting because it’s about that behemoth of the mobile phone world, BlackBerry.

RIM CEO Mike Lazardis isn’t a fan of touchscreens. In a New York Times story about how RIM is reacting to Apple’s assault on the mobile phone market, Lazardis is quoted as saying “I couldn’t type on [the iPhone’s glass screen] and I still can’t type on it, and a lot of my friends can’t type on it”. Despite their lord and master’s misgivings, RIM is still hard at work producing the BlackBerry touchscreen. RIM engineers have dubbed the long-rumoured touchscreen BlackBerry the “the A.K. – for Apple Killer”. Brave words indeed, RIM engineers.

The NYT article also revealed that BlackBerry’s tactic is to stick close to carriers. This is the opposite to the approach adopted by Apple and Google, who are trying to “dislodge the carriers from the nexus of the North American wireless market”. BlackBerry partner with 350 carriers around the world, and they often sell heavily discounted BlackBerry handsets. Apple sells the iPhone from its own stores and calls the shots with its carriers, offering them comparatively stingy deals. Google has been (unsuccessfully) bidding for wireless spectrum this year, in an attempt to force carriers to be more open to allowing a variety of handsets and Internet services on their networks.
