How full is your mobile phone’s battery? Do you have voice or text messages awaiting your reply? Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just pick up your phone and give it a quick shake to get an idea for just how “full” your phone is. In much the same way that you’d shake that can of soda-pop to see if there’s anything left inside, Shoogle wants to use a combination of accelerometers, vibrations, and sounds to bring that experience to your cellphone. Shoogle is developing technology that would allow a mobile phone user to simply pick up and shake their handset to check for messages and remaining battery life. A full battery would presumably feel like a container full of water, whereas a nearly empty battery might feel like an almost empty beverage container. Unread messages sound like balls in a coffee can - the more messages you have, the more “balls” you feel rattling around inside. The idea is still in the development stages, so don’t expect your next phone to feature some sort of quick-shake feature. But, you can get an idea for how this system works in the video below.

We were just thinking about how we don’t get enough of Danny Bonaduce in our lives. How did CBS Mobile know that what we needed was an original animated mobile series voiced by the former Partridge Family member? Well, we don’t have an answer for that, but we can tell you that the new mobile series will be called Danny Bonaduce: Life Coach , and it will bring the voice of the feisty red-head to mobile phones everywhere (well, at least to those willing to watch these the 3-5 minute episodes). CBS Mobile will launch the original animated series on November 12 with 8 episodes, followed by a new episode every two weeks. The episodes will feature an animated Danny giving advice to celebrities, drawing reference from current tabloid gossip. So, what’s CBS Mobile thinking with this new series? Well, CBS Mobile noticed that their previous mobile series weren’t getting the kind of attention they had hoped for - except when celebrities were involved. So, they decided to scrap their previous mobile venture and start fresh with a new series that was based on the trials and tribulations of the paparazzi-bait. Do people really care that much about (mostly) talent-less Hollywood tools? Well, if TV, movies, and popular culture are any indication, the answer is a resounding “like, totally.” Danny Bonaduce: Life Coach [Via: MocoNews ] ---Related Articles at IntoMobile:E! launches "E!
