Nike and Apple have joined hands to bring about a more complete experience for runners. The new Nano while blasting music in your ears also records your run statistics. Infact when you download and synchronise the data, there are some cool things you can do with it, including seeing how many people in the world went for a run with their Nike-iPods around the world in the last 24 hours!!! What it still doesn’t do is decide the music too. I want my iPod to compile a playlist according to my pace/cadence. I don’t want to be stuck with an inappropriate playlist, should my mood change. This brings in the element of fun that you get in the shuffle mode without having to worry about the change in intensity that your music can influence during the run.- I want my G3 phone to enable other people to send alarms on my phone. Just like Bluetooth data I should be able to either accept or reject the alarm. Then there will be no reason for me to forget that I had promised to help a friend with her project. Even TV programmes can send me alarms so that I don’t forget to watch my preferred shows. I could ask utility bill companies to send me alarms about payment days and then I could even pay the bills via a text to my bank. I don’t want to go into the calendar and keep setting alarms…. It’s the most boring thing to do with your mobile phone. But I do it because it’s so helpful.
- I want a Dictaphone the size of my iPod that when connected to my PDA or computer transcribes everything I have said to it via a reliable speech recognition software. I don’t want to listen to myself and then type all the words. Then I could decide whether I want those ramblings to be converted into an audio blog or to be deleted.
Here I publish everything I can catch running around naked in my head... I dress these thoughts carefully with my words, in the hope that they will meet yours and the world will see a new amalgamation of ideas. A new debate to consider.
