| Nokia Will Launch No Tablet Before Its Time Posted: 28 Apr 2011 12:12 PM PDT  Nokia chief Stephen Elop said Wednesday that his company is in no hurry to get into the tablet market. In an interview on YLE TV in Nokia's homeland, Finland, Elop observed that there were already more than 200 tablets on the market and only one was really doing well, the iPad, and he didn't want Nokia to put out another tablet that you couldn't tell apart from the others. Nokia was hard at work on a product that would differentiate its tablet from others currently in the market, he said, adding that the company was weighing whether to use Windows or go with MeeGo. |
| Mobile Health Apps, Part 3: On the Cutting Edge Posted: 28 Apr 2011 05:00 AM PDT  The future of mobile healthcare apps is already here, and it readily conjures images of "Star Trek" and Dr. "Bones" McCoy's medical tricorder. Take for example, a new app system developed by researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital that detects cancer. The palm-size nuclear magnetic resonance device, which mimics the gigantic MRI machine, sits on a patient's bedside table. The tiniest of samples from the smallest of needles can instantly be tested and the results calculated by an app on the doctor's smartphone. In many cases, the system will eliminate the need for surgical biopsies. |
| The Slow Boil of Privacy Erosion Posted: 28 Apr 2011 05:00 AM PDT  As the Apple iPhone personal tracking database brouhaha rolls on, it's becoming increasingly clear that Apple isn't exactly tracking iPhones -- though there are many shades of gray -- and that reactions to the idea or practice of tracking has a surprisingly wide range of feeling. Some seem to think that having their iPhones track their locations is cool, like a personal journal, while others see it as just another way for big brother to watch over our shoulders and help put down the uprising when the distribution of wealth becomes untenable for an open society to thrive. |
