So you thought only artists could play with colors and lights to express moods. Reconsider, for Nokia has filed a patent for a cellphone capable of “light messaging.” I am not too much into text messaging, for the simple reason that I cannot express myself in limited words, and those SMS emoticons are only a stupid way to make faces with the least significance. But if this Nokia concept materializes, I could have a new hope to take on messaging over the phone, and express myself with colors. The patented phone has software that lets the user select a color to accompany the text being sent, which would then illuminate an LED array on the recipient’s light-messaging phone to let him know the mood in which the sender sent the message.
