Electronics giant Siemens has recently introduced new green phone concepts known as the “Gigaset Eco Visionsâ€, “Leaf†and “Solarâ€. These green phones are made of recyclable raw materials, such as eco-plastic and liquid wood. Now these aren’t only green in color, but they’re also green because they only require some sunlight for their power source. Go Siemens! [UberGizmo via Upcoming Cell Phones]
Siemens has collaborated with PalmSecure to develop a device that works like a fingerprint reader, except that it scans the palm of your hand and tries to recognize the vein patterns underneath your skin which are unique to each of us. This is an interesting way of using biometrics and is probably a bit more secure than fingerprint readers because the user doesn’t actually leave his/her palm print on the device. This technology will work for niche markets including banks or hospitals.
BenQ-Siemens will launch the new EF61 cell phone in Taiwan soon. The phone is a beautifully designed clamshell with 1.8-inch TFT LCD color screen capable of displaying 260k colors at 128 x 160 pixel resolution. It also has a MP3 player with 1.3MP CMOS camera which gives 4x digital zoom. This handset also has Bluetooth connectivity and microSD card slot for additional storage. The BenQ-Siemens EF61 weighs just 99grams with the dimensions of 88mm x 46mm x 23mm.
