Pocket PC Next Generation .......

I recently bought a Pocket PC. No doubt Its a fabulous one, but there is always a scope for improvement. On this lines, I was thinking on what more could this have, to be more valuable and here I go.....

There is a windows media player in built in it. But I dont think anybody would fancy watching a movie on such a small screen. The current LCD Screen can definitely not be enlarged, if so, it wouldn't be called a pocket pc, but the images can certainly be projected like an infrared beam is being projected now. If the pocket pc can act as a powerful projector of vedio images then one can have a big screen experience. Just put on your ear phones, start the projector and point it on to a white wall or any screen at less than a meter distance and Enjoy the movie. Power of mobile media in your hands. This Projecting capability can also make playing pocket pc games interesting.

It is desirable to have this projecting power on the small pocket pc, but the capability of having the power to project images in a small pocket devise can be quite daunting due to technology costs and complications. There is a cradle that comes along with the pc, may be its capability can be enhanced to do this bit of projecting.

Small is beautiful if it can do real big things. If it cant be achieved today and technology is a factor then its certainly for next generation. Hope we see such things tomorrow.

On Sports Shoe this time

I expect it could be true that many people who buy sports shoe are into weight training or weight conscious. So why not have a weight indicator on the shoes. I believe this could be technologically costly to have on shoes but why not. Now a days Weight sensors seem to be ubiquitous like in supermarkets, household gadgets etc. Size of the sensor and how comfortably can it fit could be some factors to consider but Iam sure we shall be seeing something like this soon. Just stand and Bend to see your weight.

Caution: Your wife may not like it. She cant lie anymore. Her weight is just your lift away.
