I was talking at a conference recently and using an illustration of what a future phone might look like - complete with “roller blind” screen - and to prove I’m not just making it up, Nokia have released their impression of what such a phone might look like (although they’ve opted for a ‘fan’ version illustrated above). Thanks to Adam Frucci in SCI FI Tech for this one!
David Steele Enterprises brings up most needed gadget as iBreath, an amazingly compact iPod accessory that will enable party goers to keep a check on their own blood alcohol content and ensure they haven’t got drunk too much before they take on to driving. iBreath is a fully functioning personal alcohol breathalyzer, which packs a FM transmitter that wirelessly sends iPod tunes to any FM radio.
Don Bassler, David Steele Enterprises Founder and CEO comments “Young people may not listen to parents or party hosts, but they do listen to their iPods,” he adds “Parents who have given the iBreath to family members confirm that iBreath users are more aware of their alcohol consumption and when they should not drive. It also makes a great holiday gift.”
As the holiday season approaches, it is one of the best gadget that lets one party carefully and responsibly by keeping track of ones alcohol consumption level. The life-saving product ensures safety as well as entertains the user with its FM to tune in.
It’s a user friendly device all that the user have to do is blow out the wind from iBreath and exhale into it for at least 5 seconds, it will indicate whether users are within the legal limit to drive, with a preinstalled timer that can be set from 1 minute up to 8 hours as to remind users for a next test. There was always a need for such a safety devices that provide both the user and the society a safer way to celebrate without risking their life.
The Strapup isn't really a phone. It's a device that you program with personal movements or gestures to trigger relevant text messages. For example, when you dance, your motion prompts the transmission of text that lists nearby nightclubs to friends. The idea is to allow you to communicate without wasting precious time talking -- or typing. Nokia says it has no plans to bring this device to market.
Stacey decides to have her 21th birthday party at a club. She sent invitations to her friends using WT, and most of her friends confirmed to come over to her birthday party. Stacey checked road conditions and traffics with her WT before heading off. As she was nearing her destination, Stacey saw there were no free parking spots available nearby. With WT’s advanced “Park-Spot” search tool, she was able to find the next nearest parking spot near the club’s entrance.The birthday party group met up in front of the club’s entrance, and they changed their WT mode to “alcohol,” which measures their initial alcohol level and from there on track how much they drink over the course of time. WT will vibrate if Stacey drinks too much alcohol, notifying her that she’s close to getting drunk. After a session of dancing, Stacey wanted to go to the bathroom, but she was afraid she would lose her friends in the crowd. The club was over crowded and if she were to lose her friends, it would take a lot of time and effort to find them again. Stacey changed her mode to “tracking,” which enabled her to track down where her friends were at, and eventually she easily got back together with them.After a while, Stacey noticed a guy who showed signs of interest towards her, and they danced together. Stacey had interest too, and wanted to see him again, but unfortunately she got too drunk to save his name and number onto the WT herself. Seeing that Stacey had WT, he also noticed it had a “voice-recognition” feature, which makes it possible for the guy to save his name and number just by saying it into the device. When it was time for her to head home, Stacey checked her alcohol level on WT to see how long it would take her to become sober again to drive back home. All in all, Stacey got home safe and sound, and she had a great birthday party today, all thanks to her WT.
