Make the new year resolution come true:Quit smoking without quitting cigerette!


lol, I know it sounds wiered "QUIT smoking WITHOUT QUITTING cigarette" there will be an exclamatory impression on your face right now as to well now how in the name of heaven is that possible, how can some one quit smoking without leaving the cigerette??? Ahaa...we are in the age of innovation people , where there is nothing impossible.

The Japanese inventions have always been a thing of creativity and curiosity for the audiences when it comes to information and technology.Here is a scoop on what they call is "Electronic Cigarette" for those who want to quit smoking but still have the satisfaction of smoking that smoke out.Try the new electronic cigarette to avoid burning a hole in your only pair of lungs..
Its an old statement when we advice the smokers to quit smoking .All they say is "oh yes i definitely I will" and the day never comes.It has never been easy but with technology, it becomes manageable.

Quitting smoking is not easy but many products are available to support you during the long severance process. One product from Japan is called MISMO, manufactured by Sosu Company Limited. It's an electric cigarette that generates pseudo smoke with water vapour, which contains vitamin C and coenzyme. First, you detach the empty cartridge and charge the battery for 10 hours. When it's fully charged, the LED light on the battery charger will change from red to green. Next, exchange the empty cartridge with the flavour cartridge that came with it. That's it. When you inhale, a refreshing steam comes into your mouth and fills it with the flavour of your choice: mint or grapefruit. The flavour is subtle, not too strong, so it will not bother people around you. Each cartridge will last for about 300 inhalations. Since it gives you the feeling of inhaling smoke into your lungs, it might ease the psychological desire for smoking (having something to do). The water vapour and the red LED light, acting as pseudo smoke and fire, may offer you some visual satisfaction.

According to the WHO (World Health Organization), smoking is the second leading cause of human death. The Japanese Ministry of Welfare reported that about 12% of people die because of their regular smoking habit. However, the Japanese government does not spend any money to change this situation. Compare this to the traffic safety budget of $17 billion (USD). The only person who can take care of your health is you.

The morph concept by Nokia : Future nanotechnology enabled nokia products






Well may be in future you will be able to fold your nokia phone in any shape and size you want!Yes nanotechnology will offer great benefits to the communication technologies as well,Nokia is the company which is researching this concept for its future phones.

Have a look at the future of nanotechnology enabled cell phones:





Morph concept technologies might create fantastic opportunities for mobile devices:
  • Newly-enabled flexible and transparent materials blend more seamlessly with the way we live
  • Devices become self-cleaning and self-preserving
  • Transparent electronics offering an entirely new aesthetic dimension
  • Built-in solar absorption might charge a device, whilst batteries become smaller, longer lasting and faster to charge
  • Integrated sensors might allow us to learn more about the environment around us, empowering us to make better choices

In addition to the advances above, the integrated electronics shown in the Morph concept could cost less and include more functionality in a much smaller space, even as interfaces are simplified and usability is enhanced. All of these new capabilities will unleash new applications and services that will allow us to communicate and interact in unprecedented ways.



Flexible & Changing Design


Morph Phone Operating
Nanotechnology enables materials and components that are flexible, stretchable, transparent and remarkably strong. Fibril proteins are woven into a three dimensional mesh that reinforces thin elastic structures. Using the same principle behind spider silk, this elasticity enables the device to literally change shapes and configure itself to adapt to the task at hand.
A folded design would fit easily in a pocket and could lend itself ergonomically to being used as a traditional handset. An unfolded larger design could display more detailed information, and incorporate input devices such as keyboards and touch pads.
Even integrated electronics, from interconnects to sensors, could share these flexible properties. Further, utilization of biodegradable materials might make production and recycling of devices easier and ecologically friendly.

Self-Cleaning

Nanotechnology also can be leveraged to create self-cleaning surfaces on mobile devices, ultimately reducing corrosion, wear and improving longevity. Nanostructured surfaces, such as “Nanoflowers” naturally repel water, dirt, and even fingerprints utilizing effects also seen in natural systems.

Advanced Power Sources

Nanotechnology holds out the possibility that the surface of a device will become a natural source of energy via a covering of “Nanograss” structures that harvest solar power. At the same time new high energy density storage materials allow batteries to become smaller and thinner, while also quicker to recharge and able to endure more charging cycles.

Sensing The Environment

Nanosensors would empower users to examine the environment around them in completely new ways, from analyzing air pollution, to gaining insight into bio-chemical traces and processes. New capabilities might be as complex as helping us monitor evolving conditions in the quality of our surroundings, or as simple as knowing if the fruit we are about to enjoy should be washed before we eat it. Our ability to tune into our environment in these ways can help us make key decisions that guide our daily actions and ultimately can enhance our health.

Green phones by Sony Ericsson






Here are some green phones (well not green color) but these phones are environmental friendly made of recycled plastic and devoid of all the harmful materials and hazardous chemicals.Sony Ericsson's Elm and Hazel (yes these are the names of new phones ;) will be out in the market soon.Scheduled to be out in second quarter of 2010.The Hazel and Elm also feature a Walk Mate eco application, a green calculator and a low power consumption charger (called EP300 GreenHeart).
The Sony Ericsson Elm resembles a chocolate bar and have a curvaceous base.It will be available starting the first quarter of 2010, in two color versions (Metal Black and Pearly Rose).





Here are some worthy specs about Sony Ericsson ElmL
  • 2.2 inch QVGA display
  •  HSDPA connectivity
  •  Wi-Fi
  •  GPS,
  • Google Maps
  • 10 days free weather forecast with Accuweather”
  • clear voice and intelligent volume adaptation”
  • social networking integration (Facebook, MySpace, Twitter)

  • 5MP autofocus camera with Led flash
  •  280MB of internal memory
  •  MicroSD card support.
Phewwww!!!! looks like a power house .....guys am gona get my hands on it the moment it comes in....waitingg
Next comes in like Sony Ericsson Hazel:
This one is a slider phone, with all the features of Elm available except that the main difference is that its QVGA display is bigger – 2.6 inches. The phone  will be available from Q2 2010, in Superior Black and Passionate Rouge.





Hold on theres more to Elm and Hazel , both are splash resistant.Quite a phone both are !.They also sport the Stereo Portable Handsfree HPM-60J (also part of the GreenHeart family of products).
Keep your eyes open fellas...
