Turn Your Android or iPhone Into a Windows Phone

Microsoft wants to convert your Android or iPhone into a Windows Phone and all you have to do it go to this link while on your mobile internet browser and away you go. Once you enter the webpage you will be able to run your Android or iPhone as a Windows Phone device with a basic user experience; make calls, emails, messages, scheduling, contacts, and nearby search. While the experience is much different from my Android phone, I can say that it was a welcomed change that I wouldn’t mind using more often. I enjoyed the Metro UI and the look/feel of the live tiles on my 4.3 inch screen.  Will this change the minds of die-hard Android or iPhone users? Possibly not, but I do believe that the average smartphone user (such as me) should definitely take a look at a Windows Phone when it comes time for an upgrade.

EXOdesk – The Consumer Multitouch Desk of the Future?

EXOpc recently released a video of its EXOdesk, a 40” multitouch desk that closely resembles the Microsoft Surface 2.0.  This high definition desk-top interface provides its user with RSS feeds, social alerts and several native applications.  The video also reveals a price tag of $1,299 (which is a more consumer friendly price than $11,046 MSRP for the MS Surface 2.0). I don’t know about all of you, but the EXOdesk may be a compelling reason to keep my desk clear.  That is, of course, if it has a post-it note app and is resistant to coffee spills!  If not, I will save the strain on my neck and keep my desk.  Will it compete with the powerful Microsoft Surface 2.0 unit?  We will just have to wait until CES 2012 to find out.  For now, watch the video and decide for yourself.

Blending the Lines – Smartphones and Watches

Many people, including me, ditched their watches in favor of their smartphones in order to worry about one less thing to remember before running to work. Today, I stumbled across a new smartwatch that emulates the user interface of Android-based smartphones. Milan-based Blue Sky created the first “smartwatch” named the i’m Watch which sports many of the basic functions of a smartphone including calls, text messages, email, music, photos, videos and the Internet. The smartwatch looks like it may have been based off the iPod Nano watch created on KickStarter. Since the watch is an Italian product, it is a little unclear as to whether or not it works is the US, although I am sure we will learn more as the watch is set to be displayed at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January. If these are able to sync up with US based phones you can expect a full review. If you wish to purchase this awesome smartwatch, be prepared to spend a fair chunk of change for the Tech version which will run EUR 499 (unless you purchase the base model EUR 249).
