HTC: Devices that have Form and Function

Jack Cook — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 14:07:24 +0000

For those of you that can’t get enough looks at some of HTC’s lineup of devices, then click this link and head over to the Boy Genius Report for some pictures of the Snap (I keep wanting to add Crackle and Pop), the Touch Pro2 and the HTC Touch Diamond2. Nothing new here, just a few good shots to get the juices flowing. I can see myself eating a bowl of Rice Krispies while I’m surfing with the Snap….

Verizon’s MiFi 2200 — your own personal Hotspot

Jack Cook — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 01:00:56 +0000

Chris just caught this over at Phone Arena and it sounds very cool! Apparently, Verizon is preparing to launch a device known as the MiFi 2200. This looks like it will be a personal Hotspot with built-in rechargeable battery. Your laptop will connect to it via WiFi (or USB cable) and then the MiFi 2200 connects to Verizon’s EVDO data network.

Not much is known right now so we will have to hope that Chris can get some of the inside track info while he is out at CTIA.

AT&T Launches AT&T Navigator

Jack Cook — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 13:29:10 +0000

AT&T Navigator Now Available on a Suite of GPS-Capable Wireless Devices, Including the New MOTO(TM) Z9

For any one who is constantly on the go but sometimes not quite sure where to go or how to get there, AT&T Navigator is here to pave the way. AT&T Inc. announced today at CTIA Wireless 2008, the immediate availability of its company-branded GPS-enabled navigation service, AT&T Navigator.

AT&T Navigator is designed to provide you with clear and precise audible and visual turn-by-turn driving directions, including full-color moving maps, using GPS directly from your wireless phone. Working with TeleNav, whose navigation service has been available on AT&T PDAs since 2006, AT&T is now introducing its own branded next-generation GPS navigation service for all consumers. The service is available on GPS-capable PDAs and handsets, including the new consumer-focused Motorola Z9.

“AT&T Navigator offers travelers a more convenient alternative than using printed maps or expensive stand-alone navigation devices by allowing them to use a device they always have with them — their wireless phone,” said Mark Collins, vice president of Consumer Data for AT&T’s wireless unit. “AT&T Navigator is an ideal tool for all of our customers, whether they are trying to get directions to a new restaurant uptown, an important business meeting downtown or the high school reunion out of town. It’s truly an example of handset personalization and mobilization at its best.”

Use your device as a projector

Jack Cook — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 13:00:11 +0000

Now this could be a very cool addition to use with your device. With a Pico Projector you can project your text just about anywhere you want. Project on a wall, a ceiling, a shirt or where ever you darn well please. Would you use a Pico Projector? I think most of us would say absolutely.

Microvision is displaying at CTIA Wireless 2008 this ultra-thin mobile laser projector prototype called SHOW. It has attracted the attention of a lot of folks and my guess is that you just might see device manufactures embedding a module in some of their handsets. Imagine, with your mobile device, you will be able to project any kind of digital content in a large, full-color, high-resolution format onto any surface. Very cool and most definitely very attractive to a wide audience. This has the potential of being a winner!

Check out some of the possibilities here at the Microvision Video Gallery and some more here at the Application Gallery
