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:
Steve Horowitz, the Engineering Director at Google, made a nice and informative presentation at Google I/O. Oh by the way, before we even go into the video, the official Google blog says that Google I/O had “nearly 100 in-depth technical sessions, on-site massage therapists, and 3,500 pounds of assorted snacks (including 395 pounds of M&Ms and 190 pounds of Gummi Bears).” Wow.
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.
Is this going to be the future of watches? I found this video on YouTube that has this gadget watch that can do just about everything… your calculator, new cell phone, music player, voice recorder, and even a tiny camera (but supposedly, the quality is terrible). This reminds me of the famous Zoolander’s cell phone:
Anyway, here’s the video. I think it’s pretty amazing, but whether or not it’s practical is a different issue. I think I would have serious problems just being able to press the tiny little keys.
