It really is interesting to see how technology can truly bring us closer together. I find it odd that people are meeting their girlfriends/boyfriends on chatrooms, and wondering how long before our chats online are just as good as face-to-face conversations. While I was at a party last night hosted by LG, I had a chance to see their new VuTalk feature in action. VuTalk … [Read more...] about LG’s VuTalk is a really cool way of communicating

Vyclone: Mix all those videos together
While I was at CTIA, I found several apps designed for mobile devices that are automated video editors. There was Muvee and Magisto, who I will surely write articles about at some later date. This time, I am going to focus on Vyclone. Vyclone is an application that allows you to make movies from more than just the videos on your phone. The way it works is that multiple … [Read more...] about Vyclone: Mix all those videos together
TIP Solutions presents CallSnap App
I think we are in an age where we don't accept a busy signal any more. Most of us have voicemails set up, but imagine an age where you call someone up, and you see the reason why he or she is not answering the phone. This age is now. Last night at CTIA Showstoppers, I discovered an app known as CallSnap which works like this: 1) You receive a call from someone, but … [Read more...] about TIP Solutions presents CallSnap App
Facebook Home could transform Android phones into social networking machines

All of your friend's updates are seen in real-time on the device's homescreen, which is … [Read more...] about Facebook Home could transform Android phones into social networking machines
Kaptain Brawe: A Brawe New World, a point-and-click App
One of the best games I played when I was young wasn't from Nintendo or Sega, it was from Sierra. Sierra recently went out of business, but every once in a while, I see a great point-and-click adventure. If you aren't familiar with point-and-click adventures, you have to think back to cool games like Myst or the Monkey Island series. There is nothing more that I love … [Read more...] about Kaptain Brawe: A Brawe New World, a point-and-click App
Zoe Digital Avatar could be your next digital assistant
This is Zoe, a project from the Cambridge Research Lab and the University of Cambridge's Department of Engineering. Zoe is essentially an avatar for a future of "face messaging". Zoe can read your text messages, and she can even convey happiness, sadness, tenderness, fear, all with varying degrees of intensity. I suppose that we could easily adapt this on our smartphones … [Read more...] about Zoe Digital Avatar could be your next digital assistant
Minuum could change mobile typing as we know it
I know I have vented on this many times, but even though mobile devices can do more, there is still things that limit me. For example, typing. I am getting better at it, but even with Swype methods, I find that my typing really "cramps my style". I remember that year where I had to learn how to type on a keyboard, and I feel like this year repeats every time I text, use … [Read more...] about Minuum could change mobile typing as we know it
