With PhonePoint Pen, you can hold your mobile phone like a pen, write short messages or draw simple diagrams in the air and send them to an e-mail address.
Thursday, June 18, 2009: Engineering students at Duke University, Durham, US have created a new cell phone technology called PhonePoint Pen, that permits users to write short notes in the air with their phone and have that message automatically sent to an e-mail address. To create this first-generation application, the students took advantage of the accelerometers in emerging cell phones.
According to researchers, accelerometers are the devices in phones that not only keep track of the phone's movements, but make it possible for the display screens to rotate from landscape to portrait modes depending on how the phone is rotated. These devices are always 'on', so there is no additional burden on the phone to use this new application.
The new SoundDock Series II system works with the iPhone 3G and original iPhone models.

The system features a new auxiliary input that lets users connect other audio devices, such as an MP3 player, portable CD player or music-enabled phone. It provides dock-and-play simplicity and will charge an iPod or iPhone while in use. No additional setup is required. An included infrared remote controls the system and basic iPod and iPhone functions, including playlist navigation, from across the room. Volume controls are located on the unit.
The design of the SoundDock Series II system has been updated to resemble the distinctive lines of the Bose SoundDock Portable digital music system. It measures 16.89X30.
