In the slow crawl of news leading up to our annual CES blowout, we bring you this, the Nokia Eco Sensor concept device. The device consists of two parts: a wearable mobile phone (duh, it's Nokia) with giant display and a remote sensing unit which keeps tabs on your health and external environment. Nokia research envisions that the sensor unit would be worn on a wrist or neck strap made of solar cells. It would then communicate back to your phone via near field communications (NFC) or RFID. What you monitor (i.e., the sensors you get) will be customizable based on user preference. You know, like the burn from your jetpack and rate of your daily food replication. Thanks for the look into the future Nokia, now get back to your
S60 development please,
time's a'wastin'.

Nokia, you just know how to pull at hearstrings.
And now you'll be doing it lietrally :]
Solar paneled necklace for health monitoring is great - measure UV exposure - probable dehydration warning factoring body temperature, perspiration, heart rate.
sensors won't need displays themselves, just power lights - the main display can be your personal dashboard :]
wow - I gotta get some sleep!
pardon the spelling mistakes :]
That is the most beautiful handset I've seen. I think they're off target with it's intended purpose since it's one of the first designs that is really elegant. Iphone and prada are ok but if they take this concept, throw in all that other stuff they're working on, and they should have something remarkable.
Sensor-heavy, connected datamining thingy...TRICORDER, anyone?
I for one welcome our Nokia overlords.
i for one is sick of that line!
Yes but at least it has some relevance in this case. Not like I asked if it would blend or if it could play Doom.
first make your music phones sound quality at least as good as iPod
The day Apple make their iPods sound as good as anything made by either Creative or iRiver then I will start requesting better quality from a phone.
creative are great , but iPod has become generic.
Dont know if it's just me, but it looks great....if they could release that TS thingie already!
Why they don't use the (also Nokia developed) WiBree technology for the data transfer? It's aimed for ultra-low power sensors..
this makes the iphone look like the fat kid.
Well, the Nokia Aero is not even out yet... I really enjoy Nokia concepts - guess they are thinking/working 10 years ahead, but would be nicer if Nokia would take some risks and come out with a product before others.
I wouldn't mind early adopter problems. Just let me adopt something early, finally! :-)
Totally agree many of their concepts are prety great...if they could release this or Aeon(a bit updated vers maybe)it would be the dream already.
Aeon! (Thanks for the correction.)
HOOH,Nokia! we'v see it that your new concept! Woow,Woow,Woow~~~ it's just toooo perfect in dream as you know. Well, you and the SONY are always the same. Why? look afterwards to your numerous 'wonderful new' concepts, and how many... oh, sorry, it should be only which one comes true now?? HAAA! None!! That's right! But yours and SONY's 'too perfect to realize' concepts are always be in touch at Apple!! So, thank you Nokia & and your wonderful concept for Apple^-^, we've seen our new next generation of iPhone(2Gen..). We love it indeed, WOOW-NICE!
How about if Nokia would really produce some of those concepts. :(
