SMS 007
Sending a short text messages with the mobile phone is more common than sending an e-mail.
CircleTech, a Czech software company, has just released SMS 007, a J2ME application that uses the AES encryption standard and user-derived keys to securely encrypt SMS communication.
It works like this: when two persons want to send encrypted messages, they just choose a common password that will be stored on their phones.
If you are not interested in encrypting SMS messages, you might still enjoy creating a hidden contact list with the same J2ME application.

ANIMATS
LIVING MATERIALS
Scientist Alan H. Goldstein predicts the coming elimination of the barrier between living and nonliving materials with the emergence of "animats" (living materials).
A nanobiotechnology device that is smart enough to circulate through the body hunting viruses or cancer cells is, by definition, smart enough to exchange information with that human body. This means, under the right conditions, the "device" could evolve beyond its original function.
Goldstein has formulated the three Laws of Nanobotics:
1. The fusion of nanotechnology and biotechnology, now called nanobiotechnology, will result in the complete elimination of the barrier between living and nonliving materials.
2. It is not possible to ensure that devices created using the techniques of nanobiotechnology will only transmit molecular information to the target system.
3. The carbon barrier will be eliminated when humans create the first synthetic molecular device capable of changing the state of a living system via direct, intentional transfer of specific chemical information from one to the other.

NEC KOTOHANA
EMOTION COMMUNICATOR
The NEC KotoHana is a set of two flower-shaped communication terminals. Each terminal interprets emotions from the voices of the users (happy, sad or angry) and expresses them by changing color.
What makes the pair of "talking flowers" unique, is the possibility for them to share the signals (emotions) over WLAN. This is definitely an aesthetically pleasing and non invasive way to share your emotions with the loved ones.
