Windows Seven automatically detects mobile phones!

I have been using Windows Seven from few days. For those who (still) don’t know about Windows Seven, it’s the successor of Windows Vista. Seven looks a lot better than all other windows including XP. I am completely using it on my laptop. Seven simplifies lot of things which used to be pain before with old OSs.

On fresh installation of windows seven, with no PC Suite installed, no drivers installed, I simply connected Nokia N97 to check what happens. Voila!! Seven automatically detects the phone & gives a pop up with options to add music, browse pictures, browse files…etc. This makes life hell lot simpler!!

I am starting Future Tech catogory in Tech Bangalore with this post. It just my view on future technology & future possibilities. So what am talking about here, assume a virtual mobile phone on your PC which you can call , SMS & all basic functions you do with your mobile phone. Ya, I know it’s already there, provided by many companies online to ,make international calls for cheaper rates. But what am talking about is, it should be provided & connected to your current service provider. Say for example, You have Airtel prepaid connection on your actual mobile phone, & Airtel will also provide a desktop application to call, sms…etc. Your desktop client (virtual phone) will be linked with Airtel Prepaid account & you will be charged as per your plan. Options may also be provided for syncing your actual phone with virtual phone for contacts, messages etc.

Advantages:

1. You can avoid microwave radiations by using virtual phone on PC.
2. Better call experience, because of using mic & speakers of computer.
3. Messaging will be much faster with typing on keyboard. Typing on mobile even using t9 dictionary is a hassle.
4. No need of mobile handset, if you are always online!

This is technically feasible as per my knowledge.
