Samsung Launches 3D Movement Recognition Phone

Posted by samzenpus on from the shake-that-phone dept.

Shuttertalk reports that Samsung have launched the world's first phone equipped with a continuous 3D movement sensor. Movement sensors in mobile phones to date have been limited to slope calculations and applied to some games and bio-related features. The potential is there to do away with the need for complex keypads on mobile phones, MP3 players, digital cameras and other handheld products. Many functions will be controlled by movement instead of buttons.

      I hope it uses Windows XP Home Edition.

      It is the most powerful operating-system for Pee Cees. It looks not as gay as Mac OS X by Steve B10 Jobs and has 1,0000,0000 times more softwares that the Linus-operating-system.

      Plus, it comes with every Pee Cee for free. People who have grown acusstomt to paying RatHat 699 $$$ or more can hardly beleive this when I consult them with my proffesional Internet- and Network-Service-Center-Bureau.

      Wehn I have a new customer, I take him to the back-room to show him the "alternative" to XP Home, which is Suse Linux 9.0.
      I have set-up an old Pentium 133Hz and a small monochrome monitor to show teh customer what Linux looks and feels like.

      I have it set-up so it runs a fullscreen-Flash-splash-screen on the KDE3.3beta-desktop. It takes 13 min until the mouse cursor responds.

      The customer will them make a sound like: "BAH!"

      Then I tell them: "See, this is how it is if we let the communists make software."
      Then we have a good laugh, wich is psycologicallish valuable for the customer-relatively.

      I always tell them:
      "Windows XP Home Edition is all you can do to embiggen the producationality of your human resourcers and empower to leverage the outcome-bottomlime of your stickholder ... plus even more!"

      My customers usually are like: "OMG!"

      You should really try it one day; it has a very nice light-reddish color theme to hit your tastes.

      Thank you!
