Its great to see a mobile business with an understanding towards securing a user and demographic.

What is Boost Mobile?

I was not entirely sure, but what I did know was that they seemed to be associated with all the cool youth sports events. Anything Surf, Skate, Snow… and Boost Mobile is there.

They are like an underground band as far as mobile plan providers go. Grass roots and non commercial. All this adds to street credibility.

With the multitude of telco operators and mobile plan companies out there with absolutely no connection at all to their core demographic of mobile users, the Boost Mobile support of all things cool surely puts it way out in front.

Check out the Boost Loopt social mapping service. Utilising their mobile GPS enabled wireless network you can automatically update the location of your friends plus more.

Functional youth services that many could learn from…

So finally a select few cell handset manufacturers are changing their ways. Check out the latest LG Shine cell and welcome in the new breed that are finally catching on.

Gone are the dismal cell names that start and end in numbers. Why that was ever the case still beats me, although TV’s and other electronic goods still find themselves named in this fashion… It’s crazy.

I want an LCD flat screen from the ‘After Party’ series, not a 254638fgT, and I want a cell named as something… not a number. ‘Shine’ works.

Now after we get the cool cell name we definitely want the thing to look good. Best let a real designer get creative with the look and feel, which is, from all appearances what LG has gotten into.

The Shine is almost exactly how I want my cell to look, and how I want my look to be complimented by my cell.

The last little evolution is in the way that LG is pushing this cell into our sights. The advertising and marketing is also hot… a lot in part, due to having hot looking people connected to the cell in promotion.

Region specific, you would have to love being an Australian, as the gorgeous Sophie Monk Shines in all the new promotional material

Good design, good promotion, cool product. How it should be.

Now I may be a little harsh here but am I right in saying fantastic idea and product but slack name?

I mean… Project-a-phone?

A little creative naming effort may have gone a long way here…

“Project Cell”? “Projectobile”? “CellVision”?

Naming aside… Project-a-Phone(TM) just happens to be a very cool little device, and enables a live image projection from your cell or handset screens on to your computer screen, and from there to another screen of your outputs choosing.

Now in those ‘nothing better to do moments’, rare but sometimes available… I am sure there will be people who will find other things to place on the projection base of this thing… let your imagination roam a little… a fun and functional little device for sure!

Other features include recording of audio and video clips, 5 megapixel sensor, and screenshots of up to 3 megapixels.

Check it out…
