Imagine taking a picture with your mobile phone of a product and then having comparison prices and other data (reviews, store locations to buy it etc.) shown on its screen.
I am also loving Evernote, a digital file cabinet application. Its new iphone app is particularly good - you can take pictures (white board, signs, scans etc) and word recognition software allows the text within images to be indexed and searchable. Also, it has a voice memo function, which is something I’ve missed on the iphone prior to this point.
Evernote would be the ultimate killer app if it also integrated with Amazon’s Kindle, so my notes and highlights on the kindle are also indexed and searchable. Amazon should acquire Evernote simply for this functionality.
Check out this decontamination point at the Maun airport in Botswana. Imagine in the future airport screenings for biological agents, as well as for viruses like SARS and bird flu, to contain epidemics, and reduce the threat of bio-terror.
