Prompted by iHalfbakery [Link]
Here's a quick back-of-an-envelope spec:
Avoiding the costs and pitfalls of Titanium cases hbPhone would have a shock resistant Custard-based case.
The touch-sensitive display would act as the User Interface. In an attempt to increase battery life the UI could
present itself as a keypad with 6 random digits (thus restricting the number of calls you could make)
Being probably invented by a Frenchman, this phone randomly translates some text and voice messages into French.
By default all 'Bakers' numbers would be pre-programmed into the address book. For secrecy, some sections of the Address Book would be WOM - Write-only memory.
The phones, themselves, would be flockable - Tiny gyros set in the case would draw the user towards the next HalfCon (in Spacetime). During normal use, those same gyros would draw the user towards the strongest signal source, thus always ensuring the best possible call quality.
In silent mode, there would be no vibrate option (as that may affect the micro-gyros). Instead the unit will get steadily hotter.
HB calling protocol would feature ideas such as *27 [linky]

hope there is a spellchecker! |
|
| |
Yes*, in the UK it'll have a German spellchecker. |
|

*The German version will have a Spanish spellchecker. |
|

And it *won't* have Bluetooth. |

I posted an idea for an HB branded smartphone called Halfberry. Didn't do so well, so I deleted it. |

[21 Quest] What's the point of mentioning this now? I avoid deleting ideas for that very reason. I also say so if I've seen something before, and I usually link it, too - especially if they haven't bothered searching stuff first. I wouldn't have bothered posting if I'd found something similar. |

Deleting ideas seems like a very alien concept. Now, if they could be "locked" or frozen, I'd like that. |

Dub, I wasn't accusing you of failing to search. It was an obscure,
laregly overlooked idea with about 2 buns and 5 fishbones, and
very few annos. I think it was in the Computer: PDA category.
The features were different, too. I just thought it would be worth
mentioning... |

I thought you were 'aving a go at me :( |

By no means, good baker! :D |
