There are many many times that you are one the phone and need to decrease the TV volume or Sometimes you lost your remote OR "I love to do that" control the club TV or your friend house. Other Application is you do not need to change buttery, you just use the cell phone inferred. Also, sometimes you want to overcome your kids power and limit them while they got the remote in hand.

Have you ever fallen asleep on the train and gone past your stop? It happens all the time in Japan. So why could we have an alarm function which rings when we get into a station? You set it at the start of your journey and it tells you when to get off, when to change, where to go etc. Never wake up in train sheds again!

I am sure everyone must be playing games in their mobile phone and often might have encountered problems in operating the cursors giving troubles due to sweat or getting stuck due to continuous use. How about a game pad that could be connect just like a headset. Pad would have all those cursors that is necessary to play the games. This would make playing games in mobile more enjoyable.

I have an idea of taking the caller id on a phone and making a phonebook of the name and number. So that all you have to do is push a button, and save the name and number as it says on the id. And it is sent to a electronic phonebook built into the phone's memory. You can als delete and categorize the book.

I am a mum to a large family. Out old address book is on it's last legs...again. Need an electronic one for phone numbers / addressess / birthdays and any other junk that people keep in there. Yes I know the PDA's or palm tops do the job but I don't need all that organisation (really!!) and they would not be suitable for the whole family to use, bit too whizzy for us. My mobile phone book is already full with numbers. Yes we have a PC but when all the kids aren't on it, I don't want to...

I'm sure it's happened to all of us at one time or another: either you can't phone someone because their phone is off the hook, or you yourself have not replaced the receiver properly, and nobody can reach YOU! In North America, a loud tone sounds when this happens, but it only lasts for a couple of minutes. After that you could walk right past your phone and still not know that it was off the hook. A great invention would be a flashing light (or a flashing phone!) which would make it...

There's an entire generation out there that would desperately need mobile phones, but they are more or less barred from their use. I'm talking about elderly people who would love to have a mobile for certain situations, but today's phones are so small and the buttons even smaller that they simply can't use them. What I am thinking of is a simple device with just a couple of picture buttons - one for calling the doctor, one for a taxi, one for the grand daughter etc. The grand children...

How often have you rung a telephone number, an answering machine replies, and you hang up because you don't want to leave a message? Is it possible to design the system so the ringer is alerted by a particular ringing tone that an answering machine is switched on and will come on in say one minutes time if nobody answers the phone? We would then have the option of hanging up before the machine answers the call. It would save a lot of money. For example, in Australia where I live, if...

Music players always like to share what they know and have! And in sharing tabs there is not always a PC near. It would be cool to have a software that can be used on cellphones exactly as the software called "guitarpro" which can also handle the same file type ".gp4".

I would like to see a cellphone incorporate a virtual keyboard. With the phone turned to landscape mode with an added kickstand, it could give the needed angle to produce such an effect. It would be the ultimate full qwerty phone.
