There are tons and tons of useless apps for the iphone. There are a few gems thought and this seems like one. The app…
“…provides professional, real-time maps and flight status information.”
Combine this with a good weather app and you’ve got you own little mini flight control tower. I’m sure flight captains everywhere are overjoyed.

Bonus, a macbook x-rayed.

The Blackberry Storm has arrived; RIM’s shot back at the super successful iPhone. Here’s a nice long in depth review. Nothing too surpassing in here. The iPhone seems to come out on top as far as GUI/touchscreen integration. The Blackberry has been well known for it’s superior texting and email capabilities however it seems the touchscreen doesn’t quite seem to mesh as well as it might. Take a look at the review for yourself.

Going through the usual news sources today I ran across Engadgets teaser piece on the Epic digital video camera. Admittedly I don’t know much about video camera’s but this one seems sure to please. With a price tag around what it would cost for a new car I suppose it ought to though.
The exciting thing about this is while it is super expensive it’s still cheaper then the cameras used on the big budget hollywood movies without sacrificing much, if any, quality.

According to Professor Lee, as reported by Taiwan News, the new chip can be used to connect to all domestic audio-visual components like television, stereo, video recorder and transmit to TV screens anywhere in the home instantaneously. In airports and train stations, the SOC could download an entire movie to a cell phone in a couple of seconds and upload thousands of pictures from a digital camera to a computer in a blink of the eye.
This sounds great on it’s own. Sounds even better when you think of the possibility of this working with the newly available White Space.

Here’s a collection of really strange ads. I think it’s good that some bigger name companies are taking risks on these really odd ads.

Google and Microsoft have been fighting for this for quite a while. White Space is an unused TV spectrum that could be used to drastically (and cheaply) increase the general public’s access to broadband internet.
To qoute Roger Cochetti, group director of U.S. Public Policy for the Computing Technology Industry Association, the FCC’s ruling will soon make Internet access “appear as common and ubiquitous as air”.
Sounds good to me.
