NEW YORK - Ever get frustrated because you can't figure out how to use all the features on your cellphone? You're not alone. Manufacturers have become so enamored of cool features - including cameras, recording devices and video-streaming capabilities - that they have lost sight of the fact that many consumers just want good voice reception, according to a survey by the Forum to Advance the Mobile Experience (FAME).

Researchers in the United Kingdom have developed software that loads camera phones with mouse capabilities, allowing users to swivel a camera phone to scroll or move items on a PC screen.While the software is in its infancy, the technology could enable people to use camera phones to scroll public displays to get further information on products or to&#160;purchase items&#160;such as&#160;plane tickets.Communicating with a PC via Bluetooth wireless technology, users can either move the cell phone or use a stylus on the cell phone&#39;s screen to also scroll through a computer screen, said Patrick Olivier, an associate professor at Newcastle University. Olivier is working on developing the technology with researchers Nick Pears of York University and Dan Jackson of Newcastle University.One of the original goals was to interact with larger public displays to, for example, buy movie and train tickets and interact with advertising displays, although the applications of this technology are limitless, the researchers said.For example, users will be able to scroll through large display screens in a real-estate agency, even though there could be glass window in between, Pears said.After communicating a cell phone&#39;s field of view through a live camera feed to a computer via Bluetooth, the PC establishes the coordinates of its monitor, which&#160;are then&#160;sent to a camera phone. Once the camera phone registers the image on the cell phone and recognizes the display coordinates set by the PC through image processing technology, the computer knows exactly what the phone can see, which sets the stage to scroll a PC.Users can then move the phone or use a stylus on a touch screen to scroll a PC or move items. The PC and camera phone work together to continuously reposition a PC monitor&#39;s coordinates as the phone moves, allowing the cell phone to scroll a PC from any position in a room.The researchers have developed the software for the Symbian and Windows Mobile OSes for PDAs and camera phones, the researchers said.While the technology holds promise, it is still under development and multiple issues are being addressed, Pears said.&quot;The image capture and image processing rate on the cell phone is quite slow, and so you can not move the cell phone as quickly as you would like to. This is what we would like to address in our next prototype,&quot; Pears said.

If you were nice rather than naughty this year, maybe Santa left you a digital camera. But even if you didn't get to unwrap a megapixel marvel this holiday season, there's a good chance you've already got one, possibly as part of your cell phone.

By Rhodri Marsden  Even fairly recently, a personal videophone was some absurdly futuristic sci-fi vision, akin to strapping on a jetpack or having a robot do your ironing. But if you have a newer model of mobile phone and a 3G network connection, it may be within reach.
