Making Smartphone Users Smarter

A friend invited me to come to a social network that was suppose to be about apps.

It was a good lecture by Richard Luna, CEO of Protected Harbor.

The fun part of the lecture was when he got on the subject of Blackberry’s. All of a sudden the Blackberry users pulled out their phones and learned how to access the apps.

It’s clear that Blackberry needs to make this point to their user base.

APP APP APP APPY Talk
Appy talk is all we do
You got to have a dream
and any hair brained scheme
Some Developer is going write for you

Look at Apple’s Shares
look at all those subs
Don’t you wish you were one of them too.

Look at all those bucks
riding on phone
Geez, I never realized how much my phone sucks

APP APP APP APPY Talk
Appy talk is all we do
You got to have a dream
and any hair brained scheme
Some Developer will write for you

Hey I got a plan
I will write an app
Then I’ll watch all the bucks roll in

When you call the phone
It will it will ignore the call
I bought this to escape the human race

Appy talk is all we do
You got to have a dream
and any hair brained scheme
Some Developer will write for you

Axxcelerating the Apps

As you know, I don’t think the technology of LTE vs. WiMAX is half as
important as the issues of applications. I had the benefit of meeting
with the Axxcelera folks and we got on the subject of government
applications. Video Surveillance specifically, and I was not allowed
to say more.

Which of course prompted me to do this video.

What I enjoyed about the full duplex nature of the system is that it
enables some very interactive camera movement and who knows what else
big brother would want to do. Ignoring the paranoia, the overall
effect of having such a system is pretty compelling to me.

Here are some of the other characteristics. While it is WiMAX it’s
designed more for some private solutions operating between 3.3-3.8 GHz
spectrum and supports a Full Duplex FDD (Frequency Division Duplex)
architecture. It does not need line of sight and supports error
checking and other quality management characteristics.

It could also be used for voice (VoIP) services given its full duplex nature.
