The most interesting addition in Apple iPhone 3GS with OS 3.0 is that it can be used as a navigation device and the navigation application is powered by TomTom. This Dutch company is specialized in the production of car navigation systems and software for them. For iPhone TomTom announced a special application (more iPhone resources unlock iphone 3g ), and it will make full use of GPS phone capabilities. The software can display maps in 2D, and 3D mode. In addition, there may be portrait and landscape modes, in which the content are displayed automatically. It comes with its stand for the phone. In the night mode, brightness of the display will be lowered so that it may not distract the driver’s concentration. TomTom also provided electricity for the iPhone and also enhanced the GPS signal capacity. Presumably this will be achieved through an integrated GPS antenna to the pedestal. The developers have not forgotten about the fact that iPhone is still a phone while running the navigation application, and as it is equipped with a microphone soit can be used for hands free conversation.

Sagem Orga has begun a strategic partnership with the BlueSky Positioning for the integration of Assisted-GPS (A-GPS) technology in the SIM cards for mobile phones. The company believes that the provision of GPS technology on SIM cards would provide relatively inexpensive market for local service providers and more customers. The A-GPS SIM exploits a major technology breakthrough made by BlueSky Positioning, including a proprietary In-SIM antenna (patents pending).

This will allow mobile operators to use the commercial applications on all mobile devices and no need to replace the software or hardware devices. In future, these SIM cards will become a daily thing. The primary purpose of A-GPS SIM is to provide accurate positioning information of the phone with A-GPS SIM to let the cellular network operators provide emergency services.

Jacob Rosen, Research Associate Professor, Robotics and Control at University of Washington is developing a new robot named Exoskeleton, which will become a powerful set of hands for the disable users. Funds have been allocated to develop this robotic arm at National Science Foundation USA. This Exoskeleton consists of two hands, you can easily lift heavy objects. But the most important thing is that this robotic arm (Exoskeleton) is designed for people with disabilities. Exoskeleton works on the basis of “bio-port” that allows the human brain to control a robot placed on it by using the same signals that control their own muscles. The innovative design of this Exoskeleton provides 95 percent freedom of movement, as compared with normal human hand. People with muscular dystrophy and other neuromuscular diseases can use Exoskeleton to increase muscle strength, as well as for rehabilitation and physical therapy. But Exoskeleton has its limitations. The developer argues that a strong mismatch between the structure of Exoskeleton and anatomical structure of human hands could lead to serious physical damage.
