I wrote this post in April 2007 wondering if my cell phone could be connected to my bathroom scales so that I could easily monitor my weight. I happen to like to weigh in a lot.
Well, http://www.withings.com/en/ is now available.
So what else is now available from this list?
I want it to be my wallet.
I want it to translate different languages.
I want it to monitor my heart rate and blood pressure and transmit the data to my doctor.
I want it to access my virtual worlds.
I want it to jam all personal communications of other people near me.
I want it to alert me when I am within 10 miles of anything on "my interests" list like a Mountain Bike shop or a Ben and Jerry's.
I want it to link to my car and tell me when and what maintenance to do. (Ford Synch, but not open)
I want it to have an awesome, high quality camera embedded. (Relatively speaking maybe)
I want it to project a full size light keyboard on any flat surface so I can type into it.
I want it to offer free data services.
I want it to be indestructible. (Ok, I've dropped mine a few times.)
Well, there's Zipcar (iPhone app can find, unlock, and start a Zipcar), and I'd imagine a few of your other requests are just around the corner.
ReplyDeleteNow, the one about typing into a projected "light" keyboard, I don't even know how that would work. So far, everything to that degree has been based on the touch, and if you're projecting onto a wooden desk, well, you know, the desk doesn't have a brain. But maybe one day when every object in life has a circuit board, that will become a reality, haha.
Cool stuff.
That is cool. I didn't know about the Zipcar app.
ReplyDeleteI saw a "mock" video of it once. Maybe someone will create it.
