Samsung skips the touchscreen, patents gesture-based phone interface
Posted in April 18th, 2008
Filed under: Cellphones
Samsung’s been getting pretty creative with cell cameras lately — the Instinct lets you pan around web pages by tracking movement with the camera, for example — but the company’s latest patent application, for a gesture-based phone interface, might be a little less practical. The idea is to use the phone’s camera to track your hand movements, which, from the drawings, should have you looking insane on the subway in no time. Of course, we’ve all been guilty of waving at and even talking to our devices when they’re acting up, so maybe a little feedback wouldn’t be a bad thing — there’s one gesture we’d definitely like to see programmed in there.

AT&T’s job cuts to be offset with hires in Mobility unit
Posted in April 18th, 2008
Filed under: Cellphones
AT&T has announced plans to cut 1.5 percent of its workforce of 309,000. Sad times ahead for the company? Not quite. Apparently the 4600 jobs will be harvested from managerial spots in its flagging wired home phone business, so no worries, wireless types. Now here’s where it gets interesting: word has it that AT&T also expects to hire back that same number of employees into the fold — the wireless fold, that is — keeping the total headcount nice and steady. We’d wager that we’ll see more cuts like this in the coming months and years, so if you were pondering that job as a switchboard operator, time to retrain. So yeah, turns out it’s business as usual for the number one carrier after all — unless you happen to be in the 4600-strong group of obsoleted folks, that is.
