Solar Powered Ipod

Green is beautiful, and the Ipod is silicon art. Their other devices are beautiful as well. The blending of the two, now thats sweet. The website patently apple has uncovered some incredible new patents filed by apple in the area of solar cells and solar power. The patent was officially published today, but the application date goes all the way back to August 2008. The Solar cells will be transparent or at least semi transparent. The panels will cover a portion of the front and back covers of the devices. The coolest part is that if one or more of the solar cells are not in view of a light source, the voltage output of the cells can use a technique described as a first and second cell chain reaction to ensure that there is a reliable power source.

Haiti Earthquake Survivor claims he used Iphone to survive

According to NBC Miami, Dan Woolley of Colorado Springs was caught in the collapse of the Hotel Montana in Port-au-Prince Haiti. Dan claims that he was able to use the applications on the phone to treat injuries to his head and foot, and prevent going into shock. He also was able to use his Iphone’s camera to map his surroudings. Dan is now thankfully recovering in Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami.

This also brings up a good point. Superphones, and their ability to help in emergency situations. From the sound of it without the medical app on Dan’s phone he would have bled to death. With the new capabilities built into the Droid and the Iphone, they could be useful to locate survivors trapped under rubble, and help with folks who are assisting injured people. I would love to see even things built to attach to the Mini USB Ports on the phones that could use the phone as a heart monitor or other devices. I think in the near future you can plan on seeing this technology expand.

Our Thoughts and Prayers are with all the Victims, Families and Hero’s working to assist them. If you would like to donate to help those in need go to http://www.redcross.org/

Apple’s new tablet, and why its so cool

Apple Tablet

The New Apple Tablet

Everyone knows that Apple makes great stuff, overpriced, but great stuff. This new tablet from apple I believe is going to be very cool. I personally am DYING for a kindle. I have probably 50 to 100 ebooks, and am so sick of reading them on the laptop. The kindle and the Sony E reader are amazing, but I am positive this apple tablet will blow both out of the water. Its not just an E book reader, its a full tablet. Color screen, Wi-Fi, Apps. The works. If the Macbook Air is any indication of the size, it will be thin and light.

From a business standpoint, just look at what this could do for healthcare. It would be much easier for doctors to carry around these light little tablets than all that paper (Paperless hospitals?). Not to mention being able to use applictions for monitoring patients on the tablet while patient records are at your fingertips. While the healthcare industry is not the most “Easy Adopters” I’m pretty sure that Apple is ready to meet the challenge head on.

Another industry that could benefit is Gaming and entertainment. Think about this. If the rumors about the tablets 3g connection are true, gaming just got a whole other platform to work with, as well as streaming movies to the tablet.

I cant wait to see this when it comes out, and look forward to finally being able to read all those e-books on it.
