These days with obesity and health problems dogging us all we are keeping our eyes out for potential ways to help keep us well. Some mobile phones are catering for this mindset with applications and new features that can help us achieve our goals. Some plans recently detailed show ways in which our mobile phones could potentially save lives too.

A recent patent filing arrived at the FCC in America proposing mobile phones that have portable defibrillators built in them. Two buttons on the phone would act as the paddles we see doctors on TV shows like ER and Casualty sticking to the chests of people under cardiac arrest. So what is the reasoning behind this patent filing? Well the patent describes how 400,000 Americans die every year from Sudden Cardiac Death, it then follows with the rather straight forward thought that if more of us were carrying portable defibrillators on our person then the mortality rate would be much reduced.

Whilst this may be another patent filing never to come to fruition there are plenty of ways a mobile phone can be used to exercise and help prevent heart problems that would need a defibrillator in the first place. Many people who go running or jogging like to do so to music and mobile phones are perfect for this with many of them moonlighting as MP3 players with the added safety of if you twist your ankle or injure yourself miles from home you can call for help!

A more recent addition to some mobile phones is Global Positioning Systems (GPS) which allow you to find your way home if you’ve been a bit overzealous going for a bike ride and got yourself lost. Some mobile phone positioning software caters specifically if you were on foot and not in a car, obviously aimed squarely at joggers and cyclists who need to track where they’re going.

Ever since the Apple iPhone and SonyEricsson K850i motion sensing technology has become the next big thing with mobile phones, not only detecting whether the phone is being held at a certain angle but being able to detect movements such as steps taken. Nokia have released a program for their phones called a Sport’s tracker, working in tandem with the GPS receiver it allows you to plan exercise routes, count steps like a pedometer would and report back how many of those extra calories you’ve burnt off.

They aren’t the only ones too, Japanese mobile supremo NTT DoCoMo has worked with Mitsubishi on what they are calling the “wellness mobile phone” which can measure body fat ratio, pulse and bizarrely breath odour! Whilst it was only shown off at a trade fair last year the Japanese company expects to one day release the device commercially.

So there you have it, mobile phones have dominated so many other fields of electronics (digital cameras, email, GPS) they now seem poised to keep tabs on our health be it subtle methods like planning routes to restarting hearts, this is clearly a subject to keep a close eye on.

Digital Imaging Systems (DIS) today announced the launch and availability of the first ever 9 MP (Megapixel) camera module for mobile phones. Its new DIS6931 camera modules provide rich features such as auto-focus, high quality lenses, mechanical shutter and ND-filter with integrated actuators and an easy to access platform software, enabling high-end digital still camera (DSC) quality in mobile phones.

With its unique platform concept the new DIS6931 camera module enables existing customers to upgrade their DIS camera modules to higher pixel resolutions without hardware change in the host and with the shortest possible software integration time.
“We wanted to maintain our leadership in digital still camera (DSC) quality modules for mobile phones to create new market opportunities for handset manufacturers. With our ultra fast AF (auto-focus), the fastest mobile click-to-capture time and excellent picture quality, we are in a strong position to drive the convergence of mid-range DSC’s into mobile devices,” said Roland Pudelko, CEO of Digital Imaging Systems.

The module delivers image data with a max resolution of 3488 x 2616 pixels through either a parallel interface or optional MIPI interface. It also supports a variety of different view finder and HDTV sizes with frame rates up to 30fps (e.g.720p) DIS6931 pre-production samples are available now; volume production is planned for end of Q4 2008.

The cell phone is fast becoming one of the necessities of life. Not only can you call people using a cell phone, but you can do many other things that were once done by other electronic devices. Now, however, you can do almost anything with your cell phone, including take pictures and surf the Internet.

Cell phones have progressed to a point where they are almost all in one. They come with full color display screens that allow you to check sports scores online, read your email, and even watch highlights as if you were watching a movie on a Web site. Some have started offering music playing capability (you can store MP3s in your phone), and it is possible to take and send pictures using a cell phone. And, if you can’t talk at the moment, you can still send a text message, much like using an Instant Messenger (IM) program. And many cell phones also function as walkie talkies, which makes them even more useful.

Not only do cell phones fill in for a variety of electronics, but they can also fill in for a GPS electronic device. Cell phones can be outfitted with small devices that allow you to know where the phone is. You can use them in conjunction with a small computer or receiver that can tell you where you are, or you can use it to keep tabs on your kids. There are even cell phones that allow you to “dial in” to any conversation that is being had over the phone. It is like surveillance electronic equipment in the cell phone!

But this is not where the electronic technology of cell phones ends. Some personal data assistant (PDA) electronic devices are incorporating calling capability. The most famous of these is the Blackberry. A Blackberry can keep track of your appointments and calendar. You can use it to type out and send email. Some PDAs even have forms of word processors so you can jot down notes or begin writing a document. And you can still use it as a phone to make phone calls. This combination of functions that allows you to function as an office (albeit of limited ability) in a pocket is increasingly popular. This is because it is easy to carry with you, and you can take care of important business from almost anywhere.

The convenience of having nearly everything, including a multimedia center, inside of a phone is very tempting. Many people already have these cell phones. They are especially popular among younger people, ages 12-35. Even children as young as eight are beginning to have their own phones. It makes it possible for their parents to contact them (or to find them if it is equipped with GPS), and it is a fun way for them to connect with friends. For business people it is nice to know that wherever you are, you can listen to your favorite tune to relax, check your email for important information, and send pictures to headquarters if necessary.

Mobile Phones

A bit of trivia for cellular phones; In the early days mobile phones were almost somewhat of a novelty, I’m sure that most of today’s cellular phone users have never heard the term “AMPS”, this was a term used shortly after the first cellular phone service was established in the United States, it is an acronym for Advanced Mobile Phone Service.

In today’s world most consumers understand the value of owning a mobile phone, and what it means when you combine the power of a PDA with a mobile phone. With such a set-up you can conduct business at any time of the day or night because you’ll always have some form of mobile service, even if you roam from country to country. Mobile or cell phones almost make regular telephone service an obsolete technology.

Camera Phones and More

The new camera phones can be used for both good and bad. We all know identity theft is a huge issue these days and a criminal with a camera phone could use it to help steal your identity. The digital camera-phone gives them the opportunity to take photos of you and your documents, they can then send them to a confederate or take or send the pictures back to their computer where your identity information can be reworked and used to steal from you.

The good points of your camera phone are having fun taking photos of pets and friends, and if you happen to be in real estate or the insurance business the camera phone can be a life saver. Many real estate sales people take quick snap-shots of homes or property to show to prospective buyers or to add to the listing they may have. An insurance adjuster can have fast and accurate information on damage to someone who has an insurance claim.

Other uses for the new cell phones:

They can be a multimedia center

They can be mobile office

Used as a GPS navigation device, (Global Positioning system)

Text messaging is now becoming one of the latest accessories to be added to the new cell phones.

So besides being a GPS, high resolution camera, a method of sending and receiving text messages, your new cell phone can also be a watch, a calculator, a PDA, it can double as an MP3 music player, and in some cases even a TV.

Cell Phone Batteries

The new cell phone batteries are much smaller and last considerably longer than those of just a couple of years ago. You can also greatly increase the life of your cell phone and the battery just by following the manufacturer’s directions for using the phone and how to charge the battery. If there is ever any doubt about whether a replacement battery or charger is compatible, you can go online and check for compatibility of the product or contact the manufacturer of the battery or charger. You can also contact the manufacturer of the phone, however, most of the time they will tell you that they cannot recommend or comment on any products except those that they use or manufacture.

Service Contract

What you need to look for when you purchase your service contract. Here are several items to consider:

Number of minutes for peak and off peak time.

Shared Minutes

Unlimited Night & Weekends

Free Long Distance

Nationwide Coverage

A Family Plan

Roll-over Minutes; With this plan if you don’t use all your minutes for the month they carry-over to the next month. The carrier will usually wipe this out at the end of the calendar year.
