Ikan Wireless Kitchen Appliance Revolutionizes In-Home Grocery Shopping

,----[ Quote ]
| The Jetsons kitchen of the future is upon 
| us with SnS Design's Ikan kitchen 
| appliance. Either that, or we're looking at 
| quite possibly the most expensive and 
| glorified grocery app yet. With its 7-inch 
| touch screen, WiFi integration, and voice 
| input capability, the device builds a 
| shopping list from items you scan or input 
| before disposing of them. Oh, and it runs 
| Android.  Simply place this on the counter 
| or mount it near the trash can and add +50 
| productivity point to your life!

Android Phone Grows Up, Becomes Brain for Real Robot

,----[ Quote ]
| The bot they recently finished building â 
| Truckbot â is still relatively simple. Itâs 
| got an HTC G1 phone for a brain, riding on 
| top of a chassis with some wheels and 
| treads. All it can do is roll around on a 
| tabletop, turn and head off in a specified 
| direction. When I visit the workshop where 
| theyâre building it, Heath and Hickman show 
| how it can use the phoneâs compass to make 
| itself point to the south. But the duo have 
| much more ambitious plans in mind.

Stuck In The iPhone Mindset, AT&T Locks Down Apps On Their First Android Phone

,----[ Quote ]
| Our full review of the Motorola Backflip 
| should be up in a few days, but a few words 
| of wisdom in the mean time: Donât buy it. 
| Between its crazy form-factor and the 
| hidden trackpad tucked on the back of the 
| display, everything we took as merits at 
| face value have devolved into novelties.
