Technology is moving in a direction that I love. Not only do I love it, but while I think it should be. I am among those who value a device software that your hardware twice. One of the things I tired see today are televisions that cost € 3,000, which is a specification brutality. Then go into your menu (or operating system) and find that you have a shit in his hands weighing 60 kilos.
You see the same TV with a decent operating system would be able to arrange life and go around the world. Long ago I think all of home devices should be connected together. People would love to see how you can "throw" a video from your iPad to your Apple TV.
To do this action mega-cool, I've spent almost € 1,000 on something that is not even own those devices. The merit of this action we have the operating system, and you should not need that expensive to buy 2 devices to interact easily with each other. All this because I thought the news that I will discuss is closely related to what we will face in the coming years. A future that I have really wanted to attend.
Android in the soup We have 2 updates on this topic. Samsung has announced the first dual screen camera with Wi-Fi and control via Android phones. A story that at first glance might go unnoticed is actually a sample of what we will see very repeatedly in the coming years. The second news is also the first webcam appears telyHD based system called Android.
With it you do not need connecting to a computer, and have Skype application pre-installed. Surely you noticed the similarity that may come to have a compact camera with a mobile phone. Do not you see? There are phone models that have been tried to resemble a camera. Now they put a camera Wi-Fi geolocation ... It is easily seen that it is something that converges. But can you realize that a camera has many fewer features than a phone. The why is very clear, and is called operating system. We fail to see a camera and a television camera as TV. Both are electronic devices, each with an operating system, a processor, an audio system ...
Different technologies themselves, but they share much. Differences based on the operating system. If we put Android to a TV, the TV will have internet access, as 2000 € from now. The difference is that Android will have a browser with conditions, and current television browsers have a litter. Some applications trash the manufacturer puts us to look capable of anything, and even management of bad network connections. It is only an example, but it happens all home electronics. Media players, cameras, televisions, stereos, phones, intercoms ...
When all this is connected, is what we call an automated home. It works great because everything is synchronized and means devices together. It happens because there is a core operating system that knows how to lead the rest. With today's news, or with the announcement by Google on Android @ Home this spring, we see that Android is a good candidate for the operating system or unifying generic where all others converge, or where all others are supported. Lighter looks even when you look at that makes working with Android have departments with other electronic devices that we usually have at home. This is the case of Samsung, the protagonist of the story, but also from LG and Sony. I guess now you see what I meant by my introduction. I've always missed good feeling between devices. Not think I should pay that same feeling based on brand and price of gold.
All should be well, like ASUS laptop with Windows 7 with a tower means mounted unbranded parts and Windows 7, and even with a Mac at last, after all, they are all very similar devices. As I said, I have really wanted this future. Do you guys think it will take this direction, or be diverted?
