Sony Ericsson said to plan cellphone with “auto-adaptive” themes

This is wild. From Engadget.

"According to an “exclusive” report on MobileRead Networks, Sony Ericsson is working on a new cellphone display that will automatically create new themes based on your surroundings.

The “auto-adaptive” phone will apparently snap pictures periodically, and then build a theme based on what it sees.

According to the MobileRead post, you'll be able to set your phone to create a theme based on the overall ambience of your surroundings (i.e., green if you're in a forest), or one based on actual recorded images."
