Mika, << Ericsson supplies Bluetooth Radio modules for Qualcomm Digital Demonstration Handsets >> Neato! Nokia conspicuously absent from this report: >> *SINGAPORE: SNAZZY DEVICES OF THE FUTURE* Economic Times 06/15/2000 As the technology gets really cutting edge, telecom companies are standing on their toes to incorporate the latest in Wireless Application Protocol to their devices. A proof of this was visible at the recently concluded CommunicAsia 2000 and Broadcast-Asia 2000 Expo in Singapore. Visitors to the four-day Expo saw glimpses of over two dozen new mobile phones from leading companies in the hands of lycra-clad models. Top companies like Alcatel, Motorola, Philips, Benefone, Kenwood, Erisson vied with each other to showcase their techno-savy hand-sets. These sets were different from the usual ones. They had built-in microbrowsers navigating through wireless internet content. Alcatel launched three new GSM models: One Touch 300, One Touch 500 and 700 series are WAP-enabled across the range. These sets, especially the high-end ones, include cutting-edge features such as organiser, PC connectivity, dictaphone, 5-position navigation button, high capacity battery, WAP GPRS, Bluetooth etc. Philips Consumer Communications demonstrated the ability for users to navigate online content using speech - a technology developed by Philips' arm Spridge using a thin client in the phones to process voice commands and access internet. *Siemens and Erisson showcased tri-band GSM phones that support traditional GSM 900 and GSM 1800 networks in Europe and Asia and in North America using the higher 1900 MHz band.* Not to be left behind Motorola hit the show, to target high-end users, displayed a wrist watch design. This device, a prototype in concept weighs as little as a regular watch. It allows the users to place calls via dial up buttons or voice dialling. Calls can be received through the speaker embedded in the phone or handset. This phone also enables users to access internet services such as email and news viewing.
