Conceptually, based on interactions in traditional card games, our poker game application explores different natural ways of interaction, including touching the table as well as tilting, throwing, and shaking a mobile phone. By translating traditional gestures into the digital domain, we provide a use case to discuss useful gestures combing mobile phones with tabletop surfaces, as well as to explore a private-public display setting for digital card games at interactive tables. Additionally, the mobile phone provides the tangible feeling similar to physical cards. The preliminary user study showed that users preferred using mobile phones for interaction compared with direct interaction on multi-touch table. Further information can be find in doi.acm.org . The project is done in Pervasive Computing and User Interface Engineering group at University of Duisburg Essen (www.pervasive.wiwi.uni-due.de

Handsets, over time have gone through various transformations and changes. From serving us with a single function of making and receiving calls; the mobile phones are transformed into a sleek box which has a camera, MP3 player, internet and what not.

The UK market is flooded with variety of mobile phones; let them be the cheap mobile phones or excessively expensive mobile phones. Not only that, along with these smart hand sets UK markets also provides its customers with various types of cheap mobile phone deals.

Since the market is flooded with numerous types of mobile phones, it is often seen that one actually gets baffled regarding which phone to buy. There are many things, of huge importance which one should keep in mind while buying a mobile phone.

Firstly one should be clear like why does a user want a mobile phone, where will he use it and how often will he use it. Accordingly, he can opt for the features of his choice, since more the features, the more expensive the mobile tends to be.

Sooner or later, if there are chances of mobile being put to a rough use, then definitely do not go for an expensive handset. Opt for a mobile phone with a strong body and less features.

Then there are various tariff plans available in the market. The three main tariff plans are contract, pay as you go and sim- free.

In contract mobile phones, one has to get into a contract of as much as of twelve months. He has to pay the tariff monthly. In pay as you go, one just has to buy the handset and a sim and get a regular top up done. Sim free has the benefit of changing sim whenever they like.

Thus choosing the right kind of phone with the right deal is not a difficult task. And to make this task easy, internet has come with various online mobile stores. These mobile phone stores provide information about variety of mobile phones, elaborating their features and prices.

So one can precisely study the various kinds of mobile phones, and order the one suiting his or her choice and budget. The mobile is brought at the doorsteps within one or two days.
