Ah NTT DoCoMo, you may have some of the coolest phones on the planet, but looking at this video on how you think the future of communications and cell phone technologies will be, I can only say that: a) Someone sold you a broken magic crystal ball. b) You have been drinking too many industrial-grade…

A Real Bluetooth Controlled Car

There’s a slight chance this is an April Fools’ gag, but apparently some guys rigged up a Nokia Series 60 phone to control an old car via Bluetooth. Not as cool as when Michael Knight (we’ve got him on the brain apparently) or James Bond did it, but hell, they’re controlling a car from a…
