Samsung’s newest 3D phone not only looks cool, but it takes pictures in full 3D glory as well! The 3D camera module is said to "offer realistic and immersive images", and is on a totally different level when compared to software technology that does a poor imitation of 3D images. Expect future mobile handsets that offer this feature in the future to cost a small fortune upon commercialization.

Finnish researchers have discovered a new way to secure mobile devices in the unfortunate event of theft. Sensors in the object in question – a cell phone, for instance, record a pattern that represents your walk and compares it to the current or most recent strides. A stolen or borrowed phone will secure the phone automatically, requiring a PIN code activation or voice match to unlock it. There is a 90% success rate when using this device. It is one of the many ways that could be used to combat the phone theft pandemic across Europe.

The telephone had long been off limits to the deaf and dumb community, but technology has advanced to such a state where video calling features will build a bridge between the rest of the world and this special lot. The WVP 2100 Internet Video Phone can be connected to a USB keyboard in order to chat with someone. Incoming calls will show up in a portable cordless pager-type device that is lugged around, with the small screen displaying the called ID as well.
