MIT’s Technology Review has published an interesting article on the future of cell phones based on an interview conducted with Nokia’s head of Research and Development – Bob Iannucci. You can find the article here on their website.

Some of the more interesting research items that Nokia has on the table include:

  • Working with material science solutions to come up with a broadband antenna that can be controlled via a software defined radio scheme. Why? To simplify the guts of a cell phone and thereby reduce costs
  • Wibree wireless technology and it’s usage on cell phones for short range communication
  • Making a cell phone’s user interface more adaptable to the application at hand instead of the adapting every application to make use of a numeric keypad

So if you’re into cell phones, give the article a look over. It’s a short but interesting read. Thanks to Tim for pointing out this article to us.
