$450 Android phone will be used to control a satellite

I thought it was cool that a couple of guys from China got their Nokia C7 to control a BMW car, but I think these UK scientists have trumped them slightly with their planned use of a mobile phone to control a satellite in orbital space.
The team is part of SSTL (Surrey Satellite Technology Limited) and the Surrey Space Centre in Guildford. They are keen to test how a modern day phone will cope in the harshest environment known to man or women, i.e. space.
As of yet they have not chosen their phone of choice, but we do know it will be based on the Android operating system and will cost around the $450 mark. Already the OS has proven its worth as scientists last year managed to send a Google Nexus S phone to an altitude of 18km (60,000ft) attached to a special balloon.

The main aim for the project will be first to see if the mobile phone can withstand the elements of space, then if it does they want to use it to control a 30cm-long satellite so it can take pictures of the Earth when the project goes live later this year.
Technically the phone will not be modified in any way, but due to the extreme temperature changes in orbital space, the phone will be placed inside the satellite casing to give it some protection and a hole will be cut into the side casing to allow the phone’s camera to stick out and capture images.
Another camera will be mounted on the satellite so they can see the phones own screen to control it (advanced GPS and booster technology will then be used to manoeuvre the satellite) and images will be beamed back to earth via the satellite’s own radio link.

Chinese duo invent Nokia C7 remote control for BMW car

The relatively new Nokia C7 has been turned into a remote control device for a BMW car would you believe. The two Chinese inventors (An Jiaxuan and his friend) decided it would be a bit of fun to mod the device and play about with what they could control.
Previously the device had been used to control household lights, air conditioning, cameras and remote control cars before they switched to a fully functioning BMW and rigged this up to work with the C7.
The genius duo spent 20 days working on the software code alone and after this they moved their attention on to the electronic components that would be mounted into the car. Using the C7 they could then control braking, acceleration and of course steering.
As you can see from the video, they have done a pretty good job of it too. This could of course be a hoax, but a similar venture was carried out on Mythbusters a while back, though if memory serves me their solution looked a little less sophisticated than the BMW project.
However, have a look at the video below and you can make your own mind up, either way it looks pretty cool to me.
