Bye bye averageizzle cellphone sound quality

Usually, when you look at people making phone calls outside, whether they use their extra second hand to better listen to their cellphone, or they’re some “Bluetooth fairies”.

Well, this is going to change. Yesterday, California semiconductor manufacturer TechnoConcepts confirmed to have filed two provisional patent applications for inventions that supposedly “eliminate background noise in cellular and other communications devices, while vividly improving the voice clarity.”

This is somewhat what Skype is trying to get after the recent acquisitions of Sonorit and Camino for $2.7 million (see Young blood for Skype). And Akustica has started manufacturing chips that should transmit genuine digital audio (see Acoustics 2.0?). Even if no date has been fixed for the US Patent Office’s verdict, enhancing IP voice audio on mobile phones is definitively becoming a business trends and a new challenge for electronics.

Hope that they would get this nice but noisy Skype phone called Genius G-Talk obsolete too fast.
