Nokia has unveiled plans (by releasing short videos) for a dual touch screen concept phone which may really give the Apple iPhone some tough competition.

The phone opens some what like the old Nokia communicator but does not have a keypad. Instead, both top and bottom screens are ‘touch’…

This is what Nokia states an example of what the new concept would ‘Achieve’:

Members of an architectural firm work feverishly together to win a competitive new project. Virtual teamwork is made effortless through smart wireless conferencing and remote presentations. Bluetooth audio ensures strong and clear communication. When mobile technology ascends to this level, we will achieve great things together.

Here’s the video released by Nokia:

The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority has announced the migration of all 7 digit numbers to 8 digits, however, subscribers will still have to dial only the 11 digits.

An actual change in number will only effect CMPAK (PakTel), SCOM (Azad Jammu kashmir & Northern Area’s) which will both have a single digit change. Instaphone users will also be effected and they would have a 2 digit change in number. (more…)

Ambient Networks: Seamless Switching!

A friend from Germany introduced me to an upcoming trend in the telecommunication industry, that of an Ambient Network. In an increasingly mobile world, we have a lot of networks around us. A network between two phones, a network between a phone and a computer, a network between two computers etc.

An Ambeint Network is basically a network integration solution to the modern-day problems of switching from one network to the other in order to keep in contact with the outside world. This project aims to develop a network software-driven infrastructure that will run on top of all current or future network physical infrastructures to provide a way for devices to connect to each other, and through each other to the outside world.

If you still have’nt grasped what it is about, let’s take this example. I often use my GPRS/EDGE enabled cell phone to connect to the internet using my laptop which has a bluetooth connection. This is how I connect:

Laptop -> ( via Bluetooth) -> Mobile -> (via GPRS/EDGE) -> Mobile phone network
