Fonely Mobile - An Exploration Of The Portable Electronics Revolution

Welcome to Fonely, where you can find out about the remarkable convergence of mobile technologies and desktop functionality. The advent of the smartphone means that you can now do things on a train or bus that were previously only available on a full-scale PC. Even laptops are being downscaled - ultraportables and netbooks are pushing the form factor down towards that of the mobile phone, while mobile phones themselves are expanding - somtimes in size and always in functionality.

New mobile phones are often able to perform even the most advanced functions of dedicated audio players, cameras, schedulers, and they can even enable accelerometer controlled games. The rapid evolution of mobile phone music technology means that the days of carting around several 'must-have' gadgets are over - now your mobile can play music all day, surf the net and take those vital snapshots...

The most moving music you'll ever hear...

Once upon a time, I had no mobile phone at all. Then, I had a (barely) mobile that I could carry about in a bag along with my camera, walkman, torch, flash drive etc. Now, the mobile has at last reached a stage where it can not only do many different things, but it can actually do them well enough to justify ditching the stand-alone gadgets altogether...

A History Lesson - Sony Ericsson Walkman and Cybershot Phones

Probably the first mobile phone to give dedicated digital cameras a real run for their money, the Sony Ericsson K750/i has proven to be one of the most popular mobiles of all time.

At the time of its release, the K750 was something of a breakthrough for mobile technology. Its excellent 2 megapixel camera actually took photos that you could use as a screensaver (if you were so inclined) and is perfect for casual daytime snapping. If you want decent indoor shots, you can get the optional external flash module to provide some extra xenon brightness - capturing every detail in even the murkiest of rooms.
