Get IN!
I can’t wait to get shopping. The innovation is just phenomenal. This is what’s it’s all about. Finally we’re getting there.
The days when you bought a ‘limited’ set of features are over, at least here in the West.
It is simply unacceptable for Nokia, Samsung and LG to deliver devices to the marketplace with limited functions. One set of features does not fit all. It hasn’t… for a long time.
You should be able to customise your mobile experience entirely.
Android, the marketplace and T-Mobile’s support is a step in the right direction. Bring. It. On.
I’m really liking the sound of this:
One application to take advantage of the T-Mobile G1’s camera and GPS functionality is Wikitude, which displays local information from Wikipedia live on-screen when scanning your local surroundings using the device’s camera.
And a few other tasters?
ShopSavvy, uses the G1’s camera to ‘scan’ product barcodes and then searches the web using the browser to find the best available prices. The application also features product reviews and ratings, lets you create shopping lists, connects you to shops selling the product and gives directions to the nearest retailer using Google Maps.
SplashPlay teaches users how to play the guitar by streaming video over the web, whilst Cooking Capsules and Cocktail! comb the web to provide recipes and instructions based on the contents of your kitchen or drinks cabinet.
Heh.
Fantastic.
