From NASA To Jerusalem: Israeli Scientist Develops Handheld Monitor To Detect Early Breast Cancer | Handheld Delivery Device

It seems an odd name for a phone, King Kong, given that in Asian culture, the giant movie monsters represent nature’s counterpoint to humans and our technology.

Despite the enthusiasm for the service, 69% of buyers were unaware of companies offering the service-based solution with 0% interest.

Planet Computer introduced the Gemini PDA nearly a year ago and launched a crowdfunding campaign to take the device from prototype to shipping product. Now it’s about ready to ship.

Since the 1950s, lasers have done a fine job scanning one-dimensional bar codes. But, that’s about all they can do. Bryan Sellars, national product manager of presence detection for SICK, says an accelerating migration toward image capture and vision-based bar code reading offers significantly greater functionality. Concurrently, greater adoption of two-dimensional (2D) bar codes, which can encode more information in a smaller printed area and do not require consistent orientation, is underway.

We are getting close, but what I would like to see is a device you can use as your phone, take with you and plug into the dash to use in the car, and pull out and take to the office. Just attach power and HDMI, and off you go from work to car to home and back again. In this dream there is a universal connector that can actually supply power and HDMI so you can plop into universal power ports (leave the cables at home).

Moving into a digital network world The end of the Cold War six years ago signaled the end of defense as a driver of technology creation. Engineers have since sought ways to apply defense designs to commercial services. “There’s a lot of novelty going on around wireless base stations,” said Dr. Oliver Hilsenrath, former vice president of technology for Geotek Communications Inc. “We’ve seen a lot of innovations in the last 10 years, but radio is really as antiquated as it was 30 to 50 years ago,” Hilsenrath said. As the Cold War ended, Hilsenrath was chief engineer of the communications division of Rafael, the military research arm of Israel. Rafael also is a Geotek partner. Hilsenrath entered the ground floor of Geotek in New Jersey after leaving Rafael in the early 1990s. At the time, Geotek was small and challenged with building abstract concepts into a commercial business. Now that Geotek has evolved from a developing company to a system operator with hundreds of employees, Hilsenrath has moved on again, back to the development end of things. He has created a private technology company, U.S. Wireless Corp. in San Ramon, Calif. The company is designing products that take advantage of core technologies developed by the defense industry. U.S. Wireless’ first product is the FlyBeam, an infrastructure device that interfaces with existing base station hardware. The company says the FlyBeam adds functionality to cellular base stations and increases capacity beyond current saturation levels. “Electromagnetic energy is analog, but we manage it digitally. [The FlyBeam] is a digital front-end to an analog world,” Hilsenrath said. … Read more

So is it fair to judge the NovaGo as a laptop computer? It’d be hard not to. It looks like a laptop. It runs an operating system that looks and functions almost exactly like Windows. And it’s priced like a mid-range notebook.

On the hardware side, the device could also do with some refinement. There’s a weird wedge-shaped gap when the lid is closed due to the metal hinge, and while I don’t really care about it, practically everyone else I’ve shown the laptop to has pointed it out unprompted. The potential for bric-a-brac in my rucksack to mess up the screen means I’d have to keep it in a separate case. This is pretty much the only gripe I have on the hardware side, though, and that’s far better than having a dust-allergic keyboard.
