How to Engineer Naturally

Here’s a short video clip of Creator of Tomorrow, Gary Chan, talking about how the accelerometer in a handphone was used by the Makanstura folk to create an app that mimics how people actually use the book!

Featured Video: iPad Guitar

This turntable/guitar/mixer/whatever by Franz K is powered by the iPad. It leverages upon iPad’s apps to create gadget music. Might this be the beginning of a musical revolution that’s spearheaded by flashing lights, blinking dots, and mobile phones?

Who knows? But it’s a great time to jump onto the bandwagon yeah?

Featured Video: A serious discussion on Mobile

Gerd Leonhard’s a media futurist. That means he’s a trend-spotter on things to do with media. Apparently mobile apps & phones fall within his domain. We happened by this video of him talking about the next big things to happen in the mobile world, and we wonder “Are we there yet?”

What say you?

Featured Video: Nokia Morph

“According to Nokia, the Morph is a concept intended to demonstrate how devices in the future could be stretchable and flexible allowing the user to change the shape of their device on a whim. The nanotechnology construction is capable of providing users with flexible materials, transparent electronics and self-cleaning surfaces.”

Hmmm…. smaller, faster, stretchier. That seems to be what the Nano-tech generation of phones are all about.

Mobile phones are one of the most common pieces of technology used in our daily lives. Some reports put the number of cell phones sold in 2007 worldwide at 1.1 billion. With that number of cellular phones sold in 2007 alone, the market is very hot leading to expanded research and development of new handsets.

Mobile apps for your life

It’s hard to imagine a time when we didn’t have them. Now they’re norm de rigeur for anyone with a mobile phone. We do things with them – from getting directions to staying connected and entertained.

It doesn’t mean that all apps are good. There are weird and wacky apps that should have never seen the light of day; like this one where you lick virtual food off your iPhone. Grosss…

So we’ve decided to make a list of mobile apps that make life easier, better and more comfortable.
