Connect to Desktop with your Mobile!

Remote Desktop for Mobiles gives you the unique ability to connect to your desktop computer through the mobile phone and interact with it remotely. Along with the remote desktop that you can view on the phone display in real time, you can execute mouse and keyboard commands using the phone's joystick or buttons. Besides, the Java client for usual Web browsers allows remote accessing from any other computers with various Web browsers and OS without installation of additional software.

Using Remote Desktop for Mobiles, you can send and receive mail, browse the Internet, edit a document in a word processor, copy, cut, paste files or folders and do hundreds of other things that you typically do behind your home or office computer. The intuitively transparent interface, simple navigation and the list of commonly used options fully compensate for the inconveniences of mobiles. On top of all this is the strong encryption algorithm that guarantees the highest level of data transfer protection.

Track your city with Mobile Tags!

Mobotag, developed by Marta Lwin reveals the hidden layers of a city through an active exchange of location based media and text messages via the cellphone. This brings in a new era of collaborative phone tagging of the city. Part virtual graffiti, part walking tour, "mobotag" creates a spontaneous and easy way for tagging a neighborhood via the cellphone. Send and view messages, images, videos and sounds and see art, read stories, and watch a hidden layer of the city reveal itself.

By sending a text message to "mobotag", with your city location, you begin an interactive tour of a neighborhood. Using a unique geocoding feature, "mobotag" tells you what other messages exist in your local area. In the near future "mobotag" will also feature art projects including "flyHere," a mobile phone audio installation featuring native bird calls; "bugBytes," collectible graphical bugs originating at major telecoms around NYC; and "lookHere," a written work in short form by a native NY writer.

A Million Dollar Home Page!

Here goes a news, which albeit a little old, proves the fact that innovation springs when one is faced with unusual circumstances, questionable challenges and stretched targets. The way Tew made money from his Million Dollar Home Page never fails to inspire me as it is a perfect example of changing the rules of the market with a dash of creativity and conviction.

Now here is the desi version! http://www.lakhpatipage.com

******
A 21 year old boy, Alex Tew from UK has made $900,000 selling pixels on his homepage!

He had the brainstorm for his million dollar home page, called, logically enough, http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com, while lying in bed thinking out how he would pay for university.

The idea: turn his home page into a billboard made up of a million dots, and sell them for a dollar a dot to anyone who wants to put up their logo. A 10 by 10 dot square, roughly the size of a letter of type, costs $100.

He sold a few to his brothers and some friends, and when he had made $1,000, he issued a press release. That was picked up by the news media, spread around the Internet, and soon advertisers for everything from dating sites to casinos to real estate agents to The Times of London were putting up real cash for pixels, with links to their own sites. So far they have bought up 911,800 pixels. Tew's home page now looks like an online Times Square, festooned with a multi-colored confetti of ads.

"All the money's kind of sitting in a bank account," Tew told Reuters from his home in Wiltshire, southwest England. "I've treated myself to a car. I've only just passed my driving test so I've bought myself a little black mini."

The site features testimonials from advertisers, some of whom bought spots as a lark, only to discover that they were receiving actual valuable Web hits for a fraction of the cost of traditional Internet advertising.

Meanwhile Tew has had to juggle running the site with his first term at university, where he is studying business. "It's been quite a difficulty trying to balance going to lectures and doing the site," he said. But he may not have to study for long. Job offers have been coming in from Internet companies impressed by a young man who managed to figure out an original way to make money online. "I didn't expect it to happen like that," Tew said. "To have the job offers and approaches from investors -- the whole thing is kind of surreal. I'm still in a state of disbelief. ******

Web Activated Telephony!

Jajah deals about web activated telephony. It follows a similar concept of hyperlinking the phone numbers on the websites as the way an email is highlighted. A person has to just click the number to make a call. Now, they have integrated it with FireFox as a plug-in. Also, Jajah promises net based calling from India to any phone. Interesting, isn't it?

Bluetooth Based Video Broadcasting!

Guess MobileVideoNet is trying to creat the next YouTube on mobiles..

MobileVideoNet is a new platform dealing with video, public space and mobile phones. Founded in January 2005 and since researching, producing and offering a new medium by simple means: 3GP video.

Most of the new generation mobile phones are equiped with a videocamera, internet and wireless communication technology: bluetooth. Large groups of people nowadays own such a hightech mobile phone and are now able to shoot and share photo- and videofiles.

Videos can be offered to everyone with a mobile phone with bluetooth on it. This way the network of passersby become a dynamic gallery free of charge. Passersby at a certain designated area get offered and can watch videos on their mobile phone.
