苹果的Pod地图要取代GPS

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

Pod地图。苹果公司最近申请了一项专利,他们要用IPod来取代GPS。根据AppleInsider所说的,苹果公司的概念就是一个能够爆或4个核心单元的软件,它能够让使用者设定起点和终点。这个答案将被列入Pod的清单,会通过语音提示给出答案,另外还有视频的地图送出。

Pod地图,这个来自苹果公司的新概念将为我们提供提供如下服务:例如

1.    使用者在出发前通过登陆一个在线服务器得知需要去的地方。

2.    服务期创建一个视频或者音频的文件,同样还有地图截图,然后发送给使用者。

3.    使用者在离开家或者在车上将其上传至IPod。

这个可能是为什么苹果公司迟迟不推出GPS附件的一个理由。这看上去是个很好的概念,但是在这个Pod地图推出以前,还是在你手机上的GPS点点吧。

Elan Form: Cork Coat for the iPhone

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

elanform_1Even if the prices of iPods and iPhone are rumored to drop soon, I have not stopped looking for a nice case to carry my future iPhone. This time, I am not looking for any pink case or blinged out accessory because they already make me dizzy. And I’ve learned my lesson: not because it’s cute, it’s always reliable.

I might get the cork coat Elan Form iPhone case because it will hold the phone just right. It protects the iPhone on two layers and with hard-shell polycarbonate. Sure it doesn’t look attractive and people may mistake it for a cork board but such high-tech phone needs all protection in the world. So forget about how it looks. Besides, it’s from Griffin.

Apple Podmaps para substituir al GPS

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

La reciente solicitud de patentes de Apple apunta a transformar al iPod en un sustituto del GPS. Según la revista AppleInsider, el concepto de Apple es un software que incluirá a 4 componentes esenciales que permitirán a los usuarios pedir direcciones desde un punto de partida hasta un destino. La respuesta a tales pedidos será dada en forma de “podcast”, lo cual significa que las instrucciones serán habladas, además de los mapas visuales que serán enviados.

Inicialmente bautizados como ‘podmaps’, este nuevo concepto de Apple se describe de la siguiente manera:
• el usuario se conecta a un servidor remoto antes de su viaje, y le dice donde quiere ir.
• el servidor crea un archivo de video o de audio, así como imágenes de mapas, y luego envía esto al usuario.
• el usuario carga esto en su iPod y lo escucha antes de abandonar la casa o mientras maneja.

Ésta puede ser la razón por la cual Apple no ha lanzado aún ningún aparato con capacidades de GPS. Parece un concepto inteligente, pero hasta que llegue el lanzamiento del “podmap”, quédate mejor con el GPS de tu teléfono.
