WOW, Photoshop Mobile!, Can I retouch my photos on my mobile Phone?. I am sorry to answer, NO.

Adobe Photoshop.com Mobile allows you to upload, view, and share your photos online from your phone, but no more, even the name used is only for the beta, release version name may change.  So it is only a photo browser. One remarkable thing is that Photoshop Mobile is one of the first app using the new Adobe Flash Lite 3 protocol.

This is one probably the most impressive app developed for the iPhone,Created by David O’Reilly, iHologram there is no more than a cat walking on the screen, but the use of the iPhone’s gyroscopes to create an hologram sensation is incredible.

David’s application assumes a constant viewing angle of 35 to 45 degrees, which is the usual angle when anyone watches the iPhone screen. Knowing that angle, the application calculates the orientation of the screen relative to the viewer using the iPhone’s motion sensors, so when you turn it around, the 3D world perspective gets skewed accordingly.

Unfortunately this app is not available, so check this video to see how it works.

Google has recently launched two ways of locating users behind web applications. Fistly we have the AJAX API, that allows to get an estimate of a user’s location based on their IP address. Secondly we have the Gears Geolocation API, we will concentrate in this one.

Day after day, we hear about new austounding videogames being developed for iPhone, but just some have already been released on the App Store. This could change and speed up thanks to Exit Games. The company has recently announced support for iPhone Online Multiplayer Gaming on their Neutron platform and they are developing their own iPhone SDK for gaming. Neutron minimizes time-to-market and project risks, providing an infrastructure not only for developers (SDKs, doc and code centers, etc) but for the distribution and billing of your game, as well as services (e.g. webservices for MMOG).

Thanks to XatakaMovil we’ve got noticed of this interesting trial performed by researchers of Radboud University (Netherlands) at the annual Four Days Marches of Nijmegen. After 2006 edition, with the death of 2 participants and 69 hospitalizations, the University began studying ways to monitor the health of marchers during the event.

The system trialed included several elements:

• RFID Pill for checking body temperature
• Backpack-RFID reader
• Mobile phone

Every volunteer swallowed the pill that sends the measure of temerature every ten seconds to the RFID receiver in his backpack. That data was then transmitted via Bluetooth to a GPS-enabled mobile phone and then to the operation center.

“Based on their height, weight and age, the system was able to alert the volunteer if their core body temperature had reached a dangerous level,” in words of Martijn Bakkers, branch manager of healthcare at Progress Software, the firm that provided the event processing technology, based on CEP (complex event processing).

And, what is more important, thanks to the mix of real-time time processing, location aware and push services, in case a volunteer were at risk he could have been notified to have a rest or rehydrate. In fact, not only the participant at risk, but that ones in her vicinity and the medical team.

This is a fantastic example of how near field communications, mobility and real-time messaging technologies can be combined to provide useful services that can make our life easier and more safe.

The new Palm, called Treo Pro, has been finally unveiled. Good specs and fine built quality are not a surprise, but HTC as its manufacturer is. At least, a little one. This reminds us to HTC origins, when they built for HP or Dell, but it´s not a really big move for either firm. Anyway, there are no official declarations of a permanent manufacturer switch from Inventec (normal producer of Palm devices) to HTC.

A japan watchmaker company, Seahope, have created a series of unique watches, which are designed to look like the electronic bulletin boards used on the JR Yamanote line, which is the most important commuter rail line in Tokyo. There are 4 models from 4 rail stations: Shinjuku station, Shinagawa, Ebisu and Ikebukuro.

Those live in Tokyo, like other people who live in big cities around the world, would like to be able to know the next departure of the train that they are going to take. But, do not expect to come this true with these devices. Disappointingly, these watches only display time and date.

Continuing with the previous post Why don’t you bring the office with you? we find another mobile phone that includes a projector! Actually I’m talking about a design, not yet a real device, what a shame… This concept belongs to Eun-Young Kim trying to make our lifes much easier!

With the projector you will be able to project all of your videos, pictures, presentations and even documents you store in your mobile device.

Its technical features are:

• 3-megapixel camera
• projector module
• internal antenna
• front camera for video communication
• 4-way optical joystick
• made of polycarbonate: durable, insulating, and saves a lot of energy

But it has a drawback. Projectors produce a lot of light in order to get quality images, and of course they need good power to do this job. Anyway, maybe the advancements in battery technologies help to solve this problem.

We have to keep in mind that these kind of design concepts try to innovate and they find new and interesting functionalities for our mobile devices. People, keep on designing!!!

What the hell is this?, Please read this article from CrunchGear and tell me what do you think, it is insane!

Intel remotely fired up the audience today at the IDF R&D Forum Keynote by wirelessly powering a light bulb from a distance of 2 feet away. Using a signal generator and a power amplifier, wireless power transfer was effectively showcased by Alanson Sample from Intel Research, Seattle. Transmitting 60 watts at 75% efficiency, the technology lit up a small light bulb perched upon a set of odd-looking coils.

Originally developed at MIT, the demonstration worked by creating resonance between two magnetic fields. A comparison would be the famous example of an opera singer maintaining a high note long enough to shatter glass. This was the first public demonstration since the prototype was first developed last year.

With a four-year time frame in mind, the technology could eventually be used to power everything from laptops to cell phones. If the technology can be scaled for ubiquity, it “might make more sense to charge a capacitor instead of a battery”. When leaving an area supplied by wireless power, future devices could run off of quickly charging capacitors.

Can you think on a technology that makes one’s hair stand on end, everywhere!? not me, it is an utopia nowadays, unless the technology change in a healthy way, it might never go ahead .
