Nerd Grind — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 14:59:33 +0000

OpenTable has just released a mobile version for phones that will let you make reservations from your phone’s browser. For those of you that don’t know, OpenTable is a website that allows you to make reservations at select restaurants via the internet without the need for human interaction.

Apparently during the OpenTable Mobile Beta trial, the company found that people preferred a mobile website over mobile application for making reservations.

Start making reservations at your favorite restaurant here.

This sweet, shark looking gizmo is actually a WiFi-enabled, remotely-controlled robotic webcam called Rovio. This bad boy allows you to remotly survey your home or office remotly through streaming video and audio transmitted via the Internet to your cell phone, PC or video game console.

Are you kidding me? This is stuff straight out of James Bond

Neonode concept gadgets

Nerd Grind — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 19:17:29 +0000

It was this concept art that drew me into the Neonode exhibit, and i have to admit, the concept art is super cool. These guys are taking trends to new extremes.

Neonode is also demoing a cellphone that they’re going to release commercially in summer of this year, called the N2. It’s smaller than a credit card and weighs only 60 grams. The nterface is a 176×220 touchscreen (which is all the rage now, of course) but unlike the iPhone, the touchscreen of the N2 is not heat dependent, so it’ll work if you’ve got gloves on. Look for it this summer, but they’re not saying what network yet.

thanks Evan for the info

Internet Radio on the iphone.

Internet Radio is super cool, my favorite is Pandora. Anyways, FlyTunes is simply a web application accessible via Safari, which allows users to customize stations on their PC / Mac and then login and listen from the phone. Pretty sweet for you iphone junkies.

Oh yeah, did i mention the service is free?

His maps won’t get you from A to B, but Denis Wood’s diagrams definitely tell something unique about a given area. The illustration above shows a neighborhood’s phone, cable and power line setup. "We did a lot of walking and looking to make this map."

It’s surprisingly cool, in a weird first of the month kind of way.
