No Bigger than A Pen

Published: 23 March 2004 y., Tuesday
German company Siemens introduced its latest contribution to the mini phone rage: the PenPhone. Hardly bigger than a fountain pen, and not much heavier, the ultra-small cell phone is something any smart business person can carry around in a pocket. But the PenPhone offers more than just size. Thanks to the phone's integrated handwriting recognition facility, users can jot down a telephone number or a short message on any flat surface and it will be recorded digitally for transmission. The PenPhone interprets hand movements as written words and translates them directly into the SMS editor where they appear on the LCD display. With the device, Siemens has made a big breakthrough in replacing keypads for entering mobile phone texts.
