Here goes with the second of today’s concept mobile phones, courtesy of Engadget Mobile, with a new phone aimed not at the full-on gadget nuts like me, but at the medical and military services, and maybe backpackers. Oh, and First Responders and First Aiders.

It’s called the iCEphone, and as you can see from the pic, it doesn’t exactly follow a traditional design layout…

I’m a great lover of concept mobile phones, as should be readily apparent to anyone who reads this blog. I loves ‘em, and quite frankly, the more ludicrous the better. However… there are two flavours of ludicrous. First, there’s “this phone is completely daft” ludicrous; second, there’s “crikey, if they make this phone, it’ll change Earth’s orbit, it’s so good” ludicrous.

It’s safe to say that the new concept ‘01Phone’ falls very firmly into the second category.

Ah, another day, another claim that mobile phones are evil. I really do love it when the old ‘mobile phones will kill everyone’ stories pop up, like this particular one today, on Engadget Mobile. Apparently scientists at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences in Iran have concluded that mobile phones are, once again, a threat to people’s health. But not by causing brain tumours, or any of that, oh no sir.

Apparently now, they’ve decided that mobile phones will, in fact, make the fillings in your teeth release mercury.

Well, I’ve been avoiding blogging about it for months, since I’m in no way a political expert, but I just can’t ignore the historic news of the last 24 hours, as America has elected its 44th president. It’s confirmed, the next US president is to be Barack Obama, and the world has gone through the genuinely historic moment of America electing their first black president.

However, this is a mobile phones blog, and I’d be a bit remiss (and shouted at) if I did a story that has NOTHING to do with mobile phones.

News from the world of Windows Mobile, now, thanks to an article from the Boy Genius Report. A preliminary deal’s been signed to further ensure we’ll see some top-end LG-made Windows Mobile phones in the future. Which is good, since the only one in recent memory was the LG KS20 (the one in the pic), and we didn’t get it in the UK (even though it was made famous in Iron Man)…

This is a good thing, because the combination of Windows Mobile and LG brings together two disparate, but important factors:

1/ Windows Mobile is dead powerful.

2/ LG mobile phones are dead sexy.

News has come through to us today from The Age; apparently, lingerie-luminary Lucia Lorio has gotten right up the nose of feminists round the world with her new creation:

GPS-enabled lingerie…

Well, the prestigious What Mobile Awards have been and gone again, and we now know who the winners are! Just who makes the best mobile phones, what is the best music phone, what is the best camera phone? Well, now we know! And what’s more, since the What Mobile Awards are based on what you, the public, say, that means each of these winners is a genuine winner with the people who matter: you guys.

And that made me sound like a suck-up, sorry folks.

Now, here’s an interesting story, courtesy of Pocket Lint. A new device is on the way, and it’s called the iKIT. Made by iMOVIO, it’s out to grab the market of people who want a computer in their pocket, but for whom, even the Asus Eee PC is, like, waaaaaaaay too massive.

And what, you may ask, does this have to do with mobile phones? Well, it would seem that the little iKIT is aiming to try and tae on both mobile phones and sub-notebook-netbook-things like the Asus Eee PC.

Interesting story, this, as you may remember me banging on about this particular phone for some considerable time, just before it got cancelled and sank into oblivion. It was the Sony Ericsson Paris, and it was going to be my next mobile phone. And then they cancelled it. And I was bitter.

Well, according to Engadget Mobile, it seems there might be an outside slim possibility of a chance that the Sony Ericsson Paris is about to be brought back from the dead.

Concepts for a version of Firefox (designed to run on mobile phones), have been kicking about for a bit, but according to Engadget Mobile, screenshots have emerged of the alpha version (ie/ the very first ever build, with gaping holes and loads still to do), which should be arriving sooner than everyone expected.

At the minute, it seems fairly certain Mozilla’ll concentrate on getting it working Windows Mobile phones, but after that we may very well see preproduction versions appearing for other systems, and other mobile phones (Symbian Foundation springs immediately to mind…)
