It is now possible to use triangulation from base stations to determine the position of a mobile phone. A useful application of this would be to create 'no-phone' zones, where a signal could be sent to the mobile to switch it off when it is within a designated area. This could apply to theatres, hospitals, military bases: indeed any location where the user is instructed to switch their mobile off.

What if your mobile phone is not working and nothing to do with it but to turn it to trash? Would it be great if someone could invent a software/hardware device that would convert mobile phones as walky talky or fm radio or cordless phone (hardware plus software manipulation). walky talky or home wireless phone complete with different colored backlights with personalized logo and ringtones. JUST IMAGINE... WOW Its pretty cool right? And functional too. If theres something like it then lets...

Hey u guys from Nokia Inc., I have been wondering when u will do good things for architects man. i just wonder if u can add a device or software in ur mobile phones which can tell us the levels of various surfaces at the click of a button. so that architects are free from hassles of carrying loads of equipment.

Since your cell phone is all ready hooked up to your satellite, all you need to keep from getting bored, is to have it play the latest thing; XM Radio on your cell phone. You could still hear the ring, since the radio would turn off, and the ring of choice would start. It would work just like a standard XM Radio where you have all the options and functions of XM Radio and you can have commercial free music of any type of music you choose.

Cell phone theft is a serious problem. Thieves steal the cell phones so that they can make free calls on them. You could reduce cell phone theft by allowing user to specify that a password be used before the cell phone can be used to dial a number. Before you make a call with the cell phone you would have to enter a password which you could choose yourself. This would make the cell phone useless to a thief that did not know the password. This feature would be optional so that users who...

With many chain stores now having "rewards" membership cards, it is becoming a hassle to search through your wallet to find the right one, especially if you are at the checkout with a line of people behind you. My idea, that as far as I know does not exists, is a "smartphone" app that would contain all of your rewards/wholesale club membership cards. This app would already link your information with all the stores that you are a member of and frequent, eliminating the need for a plastic...

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...

A mini projector built into a cellphone can display whatever is supposed to be displayed on the cellphone screen. When you combine this and that keyboard that can be used to write stuff on the cellphone it gets really comfortable.

my idea is kind of crazy but i like it. i would like to have a cellphone or a house phone that whenever someone call me at the moment i answer the phone they could see what im doing, on their screen. i think i would be awesome to have a cellphone or a house phone like that...we would be able to see what each other is doing.

Would it not be great to have a small software on phone which would auto reply to the ignored number the owners unavailability to answer their call. It may even give out a signal as in the phone is reachable! So next time I want to ignore a particular number... I just add him to ignore list.
