It has been a while that researchers have trying to make the mobile phones not to be just a communication tool but a smart device that can understand the holder’s behavior. Recently, researchers from Dartmouth College made a far step forward. They developed a tool that is able to determine the current “scene” by analyzing the sound picked up from the microphone of the mobile phone.

Currently when accessing the Internet through wireless connections, such as using a netbook or cell phone, on a fast moving environment, the performance should be significantly limited. Recently researchers at Winlab, Rutgers University and NEC Laboratories have designed R2D2, a new system designed to fit this situation.
