Coolest Gadgets: A visit with Jaymo’s Personalized Photo Products

Coolest Gadgets Playing with cool gadgets in the ongoing search for the Coolest Gadget A visit with Jaymo's Personalized Photo Products 25 Mar 2011, 12:55 am I don’t know how important this is to you, but I think companies want us to believe that everything should be personalized and customized to you. Why do you think that HTC has that YOU ad campaign, and why some of us need to have a photo of a loved one on our Windows or mobile phone wallpaper? I stopped by a booth for Jaymo, and it was full of personalized items. I am convinced that if Jaymo ruled the world, then everything would have a personalized picture or logo on it. You can see the Spirit collection here in the photo as proof. I had a chance to see the PixCase, and I think it is a good idea. The PixCase is a transparent case that goes on the mobile phone, with a personalized photo as sandwhich filling. The end result is a phone with a photo or other type of picture on it, and it definitely shows that that mobile is yours. A similar idea was tried with the IaPeel. I say “tried” because I didn’t see that company this year at CTIA. I managed to get me a sample of the PixPen, which allows the user to put their own photo on a thick pen. I think that I’m going to use a photo of my kids from my wallet for mine. If you want to get in on this Jaymo action, feel free to head on over to the Jaymo site and order up.

Engadget: Researchers enable tactile feedback for e-readers using real paper, just like the olden days (video)

Engadget Engadget Researchers enable tactile feedback for e-readers using real paper, just like the olden days (video) 24 Mar 2011, 11:12 pm Brainiacs from Osaka University have created what they've called the Paranga -- a device that fulfills the lack of tactile feedback of page turns when using an e-reader. It's got a built in sensor that detects when the book is being bent and will rotate a roll of paper strips against your thumb. Depending on how much force is exerted against the device will control the speed of the paper roll. Although it's not accurate enough to turn one page at a time, the researches believe that if foil is used instead of paper, the voltage will be discharged as soon as a page is turned, ensuring single-page accuracy. If you want to see a video of the Paranga imitate page-turning, press play on the embed below the break.

Engadget: Samsung Vibrant passes FCC again with AT&T 3G bands: a pre-acquisition tester? (updated)

Engadget Engadget Samsung Vibrant passes FCC again with AT&T 3G bands: a pre-acquisition tester? (updated) 24 Mar 2011, 11:38 pm This is out of left field, but bear with us -- it all makes sense, in a creepy, business-y sort of way. First, the facts: a Samsung SGH-T959P just got FCC approval with 3G support on the 850 and 1900MHz bands (it might also support 2100MHz, but we can't tell from the documents we've skimmed in the filing -- and since it's not a US band, the FCC doesn't really care anyway). T-Mobile's original Samsung Vibrant was the SGH-T959, and the Galaxy S 4G was the SGH-T959V -- so you can imagine that this is another device in the same vein. Samsung SGH product codes that start with "T" and end with "9" are T-Mobile devices... but if this is for T-Mobile, where's the AWS 3G support? So here's our wild theory: T-Mobile and AT&T may have fast-tracked a T-Mobile-branded device -- in this case, an offshoot of the Galaxy S 4G -- with HSPA+ for AT&T's bands. AT&T has mentioned this week that one of the first fruits of its planned acquisition of T-Mobile USA will be a roaming agreement that allows T-Mobile customers to use AT&T's network, and naturally, that would require devices that support AT&T's spectrum; interestingly, this roaming agreement is going into effect whether the acquisition completes or not, so these guys have to deal with it. We'd doubt that either of these carriers would be keen on releasing yet another variant of the original Galaxy S as we move toward mid-2011 here, but it's entirely possible that T-Mobile and AT&T employees could be getting these to test the network integration over the course of the year. Crazy, yes... but just crazy enough to be plausible. Update: Here's another thought. This could be an HSPA+ device (a la Galaxy S 4G) for a Canadian network, since several of those guys have also deployed Samsung devices that start with "T" and end with "9" -- the model number exclusivity to T-Mobile is strictly within American borders. We'll find out soon enough! Samsung Vibrant passes FCC again with AT&T 3G bands: a pre-acquisition tester? (updated) originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 24 Mar 2011 19:38:00 EDT.

Engadget: Copenhagen airport tracks your every move using WiFi signals

Engadget Engadget Copenhagen airport tracks your every move using WiFi signals 25 Mar 2011, 12:17 am Hello, Big Brother! According to the New York Times, Copenhagen International Airport is currently testing a new program that monitors passengers based on WiFi data emitted from devices like laptops and smartphones. Airport officials observe travelers from a remote computer, and can tell, within 10 feet of accuracy, where they spend their time -- those arriving and departing are represented by different colored dots. The program, created by Geneva-based SITA, also gives visitors the option to download an iPhone app that provides location-based information, like promotions from nearby restaurants. SITA's VP said the software isn't intrusive, as it follows devices, not individuals, but we're not sure we want anyone to know how long our Anrdoid spends in the bathroom -- and you thought those naughty-bit scanners were creepy.
