De Bluetooth alarmcard: onderscheiden met de OPI-speciaalprijs op de Internationale Uitvindersbeurs 2009 in Genève.

Het kleine alarmapparaat, met het formaat van een pinpas, zit, via Bluetooth verbonden met uw mobiele telefoon, in uw laptop- of handtas, portemonnee, de portefeuille, in de handbagage; … als de afstand tussen de alarmcard en uw mobiele telefoon de programmeerbare 5-30 m overschrijdt, waarschuwt uw mobiele telefoon u onmiddellijk met een bel- en/of trilsignaal.

Tegelijkertijd is er een tot wel 100 dB harde signaaltoon uit de alarmcard te horen, die de dief ontmaskert.

U schakelt de alarmcard eenvoudig in en uit door op een toets op uw mobiele telefoon te drukken.

Op verzoek kunt u de alarmtoon uitschakelen – nu zal alleen uw mobiele telefoon u waarschuwen. Ideaal ook om ervoor te zorgen dat u uw kind in het winkelcentrum, op het vliegveld etc. niet uit het oog verliest.

Apple Tablet Debut in January?

A report in the Financial Times blog said Apple has rented space for an event next month in San Francisco.

The arrival of a new tablet hasn't been this anticipated since that Moses guy came down from the mountain top with two of them. Rumors have swirled for months that Apple is readying a new kind of tablet computer geared toward interacting with multimedia content and surfing the Web.

While Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) has remained characteristically mum on the topic, some reports claiming insider knowledge of Apple's supply chain have said to expect the tablet's release around March of 2010. And last week a video surfaced of a purported Apple tablet prototype.

Now a post at the Financial Times blog today have stoked the fires some more, claiming Apple has rented a stage at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco for Tuesday, January 26. Apple has used this location in the past and is expected to make a "major product announcement" on that date, said the blog, citing people it said were familiar with Apple's plans.

The FT quoted well-known Apple watcher and Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster, as saying he though an event was imminent. "We believe there is a 75 percent likelihood that Apple will have an event in January and a 50 percent chance that it will be held to launch the Apple Tablet," he wrote in a research note, quoted by FT. "If Apple announced the Tablet in January, it would likely ship later in the March quarter."

Since Apple doesn't currently sell a tablet, it could afford to pre-announce the device to help generate developer and consumer interest without directly impacting sales of its current product line, though theoretically such an announcement could affect some potential iPhone and MacBook buyers.

If current rumors are to be believed, Apple will use a 10.1-inch multitouch display using the same LTPS LCD technology used in the iPhone. The "iTablet" is also thought to support running windowed applications simultaneously, as opposed to the single-task, full-screen operation of the iPhone and iPod Touch.

Apple used the Yerba Buena Center venue last September when it rolled out new iPods

New Xbox: Full body and gesture recognition

Microsoft's Project Natal is the first game console without a controller. The system has a 3D camera that maps the exacts position of your hands, your fingers, your feet, your header, your nose, everything in a 3D map. This allows you to control the game with only your body, in great detail, and no controller needed. Furthermore, it recognises voice and faces and supports complex video chat.

Steven Spielberg: . "This is a pivotal moment that will carry with it a wave of change, the ripples of which will reach far beyond video games"

SAMSUNG Flexible AM OLED

Future Designer laptop - ROLLTOP, Diploma Thesis

The device of the flexible display allows a new concept in notebook design growing out of the traditional book formed laptop into unfurling and convolving portable computer.

By virtue of the OLED-Display technology and a multi touch screen the utility of a laptop computer with its weight of a mini-notebook and screen size of 13 inch easily transforms into the graphics tablet, which with its 17-inch flat screen can be also used as a primary monitor.

On top of everything else all computer utilities from power supply through the holding belt to an interactive pen are integrated in Roll top. This is really an all-in-one gadget.

MotionX-GPS Drive: low cost iPhone navigation

Californian start-up Fullpower Technologies, who has been quite successful with its GPS outdoor and sport iPhone applications has launched a few days ago its own turn-by-turn navigation software on the iTunes store.


MotionX-GPS Drive is an off-board application based on NAVTEQ map data and deCarta's geospatial platform which also offers Bing Local search (Microsoft) and traffic information, but no text-to-speech to pronounce street names.

Selling at $2.99 for one month, or $24.99 for one year, this application is to date the lowest price point for turn-by-turn navigation on the App Store. In comparison Gokivo (NIM) and AT&T Navigator (TeleNav) cost $9.99 per month and on-board systems (with lifetime license) span from $34.99 (ALK Technologies) to $99 (TomTom).

According to Wall Street Journal tech guru Walt Mossberg, who tested MotionX-GPS Drive prior to its release: “This app worked well in my tests, and is packed with features, including live traffic, a route summary, and integrated music control. It understood my D.C. test address, but it doesn’t announce street names, and its function buttons are very small and labeled with tiny type.” Not a bad review for a first navigation application.

Top questions:

Q1. "In what countries can I use MotionX-GPS Drive for navigation?"

Mobile Cloud Computing Subscribers to Total Nearly One Billion by 2014

Experts say that the number of mobile cloud computing subscribers worldwide will grow rapidly over the next five years, rising from 42.8 million subscribers in 2008, (approximately 1.1% of all mobile subscribers) to just over 998 million in 2014 (nearly 19%). Mobile cloud applications move the computing power and data storage away from mobile phones and into the cloud, bringing apps and mobile computing to not just smartphone users but a much broader range of mobile subscribers.

According to senior analists; “From 2008 through 2010, subscriber numbers will be driven by location-enabled services, particularly navigation and map applications. A total of 60% of the mobile Cloud application subscribers worldwide will use an application enabled by location during these years.”

Some quite innovative applications are already commercially available. Lock manufacturer Schlage, or example, has launched LiNK – a keyless lock system for the home that enables subscribers to remotely control not only the door lock, but heating/cooling, security cameras and light monitors, all via PC or mobile device.





Business productivity applications will soon dominate the mix of mobile cloud applications, particularly collaborative document sharing, scheduling, and sales force management apps.

Experts expect some or all of the major PaaS platforms — Google, Amazon AWS, and Force.com – to market their mobile capabilities aggressively starting in 2010.

Experts conclude by reiterating their findings that; “By 2014, mobile cloud computing will become the leading mobile application development and deployment strategy, displacing today’s native and downloadable mobile applications.”

Jobs Takes Stage at Apple Event

Apple's chief executive officer gratefully accepts applause as he returns to the stage at Wednesday's company event after a lengthy absence due to a liver transplant. (Sept. 9)

Mr. Jobs, taking the stage at an event in San Francisco, unveiled new offerings that included an iPod Nano with a video camera. Apple also dropped prices across its iPod lineup as the company tries to revive slowing sales.

Mr. Jobs, who had not been seen publicly since an October event, was dressed in his usual black turtleneck and jeans. The 54-year-old appeared thin and spoke with a scratchy voice, but showed energy and enthusiasm.

"I'm very happy to be here with you all," said Mr. Jobs as he received a standing ovation. He explained that he had received the liver of a young adult who died in a car accident. "I wouldn't be here without such generosity," he said, urging others to become organ donors, too.

Apple's changes to iTunes, including the social-networking features, are the biggest in years, and the iPod nano's video camera is a shot across Cisco's bow, Walt Mossberg of The Wall Street Journal tells Stacey Delo.

Apple's CEO and co-founder returned to his post in late June, following a nearly six-month medical leave. Mr. Jobs, who has battled pancreatic cancer, worried investors last year by exhibiting noticeable weight loss. He bowed out of his usual keynote at the Macworld trade show in January and went on leave.

"He looked thin but much better than he had a year ago. Part of the reason was to show the crowd he's alive and kicking," said Charlie Wolf, an analyst at Needham & Co.

Apple showed off new iTunes software and iPods with lower starting prices amid slowing sales and increasing competition from companies like Microsoft Corp., which recently announced a new version of its Zune HD music player.

The iPod is still the dominant digital music player, with nearly 74% market share, according to Apple. But it has been eclipsed by the fast-selling iPhone. In the quarter ended June 27, iPod revenue fell 11% from a year earlier to $1.49 billion.

Apple lowered the starting price of its iPod Touch device, which is essentially an iPhone without cellular phone capability, to $199 from $229. The new iPod Nano, starting at $149, comes with an FM receiver and pedometer in addition to the built-in video camera.

"They're just trying to segment the product line, and they're trying to get people to buy multiple iPods," said Gene Munster, an industry analyst with Piper Jaffray & Co. He noted that Apple didn't add a camera in the iPod Touch as had been widely expected.

The company stressed the success of games on the iPod Touch and the iPhone, compared with devices like Sony Corp.'s PlayStation Portable and Nintendo Co.'s DS.

"When these things came up they seemed so cool...but they don't really stack up anymore," said Apple marketing chief Philip Schiller.

Apple also unveiled a new version of its iTunes software and online store. Among the new features: greater ability to share music and other digital content between multiple computers in a single home and a feature called iTunes LP, which brings additional content like lyrics, videos and artwork to albums purchased on the site.

LogMeIn has teamed with Stamen Design to visually display the large number of connections our infrastructure delivers every second, around the clock. The animation displayed on the home page is a scaled-down version of the applications available via above link.

A few important things to note:
The animations display connections as they happen. When a computer is accessed via LogMeIn, it is likely to show up on the screen in a few seconds.

Yes, there are millions and millions of people using LogMeIn, and they do produce a lot of traffic.

The approximate location of a computer being accessed and the computer it is accessed from are indicated on the display.

Only a subset of LogMeIn's products are visualization-enabled.
To preserve your privacy, no potentially identifying information (such as an IP address) is ever sent to the visualization clients. The applications produce their display based on approximate geographic information. Furthermore, a certain percentage of the visualization information is discarded on our servers and thus is not present in the data feed. The lower the frequency of LogMeIn connections in a geographic area, the higher the chance that a connection originating or terminating in that location will not be displayed.

EXCITING Seacom Goes Live - Get Ready Africa - Collaboration and Connectivity are Here

Post by Yvon le Roux, Vice President, Emerging Markets

In my role as vice president of Cisco’s Africa and Levant region, I’m fortunate to meet dynamic people from across the region face-to-face and via TelePresence. I hear inspiring stories of how technology is improving lives, and I feel proud of the role we play in assisting in country transformation, providing the backbone to a human network where technology empowers people to connect, process and share information.

I was honored to address the launch ceremony of the Seacom submarine cable in Tanzania this week. It was a major announcement, as SEACOM will provide the catalyst for African consumers, business and government to realise the benefits of connectivity and collaboration across the globe.

I shared the stage with His Excellency, President Kikwete of Tanzania and Brian Herlihy, the CEO of SEACOM. We simultaneously addressed dignitaries, partners and journalists situated at venues in Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, Mozambique and South Africa.

Cisco and SEACOM jointly built a voice, data and video platform for this launch, relying on the Seacom network to create a collaborative environment to stream live video over Internet Protocol to the five launch locations. The Cisco team supplied routers, switches, DMS equipment and encoders for this launch.

The benefits of Seacom’s 1,28 Terabytes per second (Tb/s), 17,000 kilometers, submarine fiber optic cable system are far reaching, and its far more than simply installing broadband in homes and offices. It’s about the people of Africa, bringing networks to them, changing lives and about improving how nations plan public services, health care, transportation, construction, and even sporting events.
Take health care as a primary example. Broadband is key to the success of telemedicine, as it will provide communities with multichannel access to a wide range of health care services. This milestone will help improve collaboration among health workers as well as provide for greater capability for self-treatment and improvements in primary care. This improvements will help optimize the performance of health care service as a whole, resulting in a healthier and economically stronger nation.

There is no doubt it is an exciting and truly transformational time for Africa.
John Chambers, our President and CEO, says that ‘Education and the Internet are the two equalizers in life’. As a company, Cisco is firmly committed to advancing the Human Network in Africa. I look forward to sharing more of this excitement with you over the next few days and months.
