And another one...

Nokia will release its forthcoming 3220 line with a new feature, that allows users to display up to 15 characters in mid-air. This feature controls 15 leds that light up systematically. When waved in the air, the eye perceives the complete sequence. (This has been used previously for marketing gimmicks).

This is something I'd imagine catching on in Japan rather than Europe/the US. Any similar developments there?

But what's the point in waving your phone to someone six meters away, when you could shout as well? Time will tell...
