Two Massachusetts Institute of Technology scientists are developing a cellphone that is so smart it can tell what you think and even predict your next move. It can even offer advice to you.

Nathan Eagle and Sandy Pentland, the two MIT scientists, are working on a 'mind-reading programme,' according to New Scientist and are currently running the software on 100 Nokia's 6600 Smartphones that have been given to students to try out. The phone uses context message logging software and Bluetooth chips.

Over a period of time, based on your daily pattern of use, the phone learns about the things you do, when you do them, who you call, et cetera, says a research published in the journal New Scientist.

The phone studies the user's habits by logging when heor she makes voice or text calls, or uses phone applications like an alarm clock, reminders or the camera.

Citing an example, the study says that your phone can learn that whenever you call at least three friends after 5 p.m., you tend to leave the office by 5.30 p.m. and meet these friends at some prearranged bar. More importantly, if you have a big presentation the following morning, the phone warns you not to drink too much lest you mess up your performance.

New Scientist said that the phone might also be able to evaluate how good a relationship is by how often the user calls a certain friend; so much so that "it might even pick up on a flirtation before the user notices."
