Our CFO, Dave Johnson, had an interview with Fox Business this morning at 6:30EST! He talked about a bunch of stuff that’s very important to us, like Citi, our India plans, as well as Obopay’s future and global expansion. Check out the video here:
I am so amazed at these Android programs. Going back to the last post, Android Scan, one of the winners of the Google Android Developer Challenge, created this amazing program that lets you scan barcodes anywhere. Check out the video on YouTube. It’s pretty cool.
Not sure how many of you guys have seen this, but LG actually has a phone called the Prada phone that is very similar to the Apple iPhone. In fact, they were both announced a couple days apart from each other. Which one came first? That’s up for debate and for you to decide.
Regardless, here’s a demo on YouTube. I know this phone isn’t new anymore. I know people have had it in Asia for a long time now, but it’s not nearly as popular over here in the US. Check it out:
Why can’t our cell phones do all these things in America? Supposedly, in Japan, you can use your cell phone to pay at a store and even scan the barcode on a Big Mac to see the nutritional facts!
Not sure if this really happens in Japan or not, but this video sure makes it look real. I have been to Asia many times though, and their phones are just so much cooler and more advanced over there. On second thought, I wouldn’t be too surprised if this is real.
This is seriously the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. Well, at least recently. This guy created this program that literally converts your Blackberry into a TV remote! It even shows you TV listings so you can see what’s on, as well as changing channels and all that good stuff. Not only that though, this app will let you control your Apple TV, Apple iPod, and even all your A/V equipment! Take a look at the demo:
I don’t know why I didn’t put this up sooner, but Sergey Brin and Steve Horowitz from Google actually made a nice looking demo video for Android. Looks pretty cool. Somewhat reminds me of the iPhone without the iPod music stuff. That could come later though, as developers are still trying to come up with programs for Android.
