A rotating cellphone

Finnish company MyOrigo has launched a new smartphone with a novel screen that rotates with the movement of the handset. The software, powered with intent, the multimedia software platform from Tao Group, makes use of unique motion control and ‘touch & feel’ technologies. Suitable for both business and consumer use the device incorporates the latest mobile phone functionality, including multi-network support (Triband, GSM, GPRS), texting (SMS, MMS, full QWERTY keyboard), Web browsing, contacts book, scheduling & alerts, email, document reader, VGA camera and an MP3 player.

Motion Control - Dominated by a 176 x 320 full colour display, the screen adjusts as the user moves their hand to allow for tilting, scrolling and zooming. Turning the device through ninety degrees allows the user to choose portrait or landscape views depending on what suits the content better. Motion control is used by all applications. Mirroring – viewing web pages in full is easy on the mydevice. Imagine yourself looking at your own face in a pocket mirror. To see you left eye you tilt the mirror to the left, to see your mouth you would tilt the mirror down. The principle is the same for web browsing. Imagine that a virtual web page is projected in front of your face to see each corner simply tip the device.

“The network operators and branded handset manufacturers that have already seen the device were blown away by its ‘wow’ factors. MyOrigo already has a strong relationship with the Spanish operator Telefónica and we are expecting to make some big announcements in other European territories in the coming months.”

Commented Johan Granholm, VP Sales & Marketing at MyOrigo.Tao’s intent multimedia platform gives MyOrigo access to an unrivalled breadth of multimedia and application execution features, such as audio, video, media plug-ins and Java™ technology, enabling user interface and application suite customisation.

Francis Charig, Chairman and Chief Executive of Tao Group commented: "Platform technologies that have evolved from the convergence between phone and PC have serious limitations – particularly when delivering the quality of multimedia content that consumers demand. Through the revolutionary advances from MyOrigo and Tao, network operators can deliver the calibre of services required to attract the size of user base needed to generate revenue and grow the operator’s brand.”

Volume high street sales will commence in the UK in the autumn with other territories to follow.
