Zedy’s New Toy: A Robot from Japan

Posted by Edwin Tam On 15 Dec 2009

It’s not a fashionista robot. But a mini, scurrying thing that pushes a faceted ball around on its controller’s commands. Mr Roboto is a smart fella who knows how to avoid thieving robots and dock at his recharging station while looking insufferably cute at the same time. Imagine a swarm of mini Mr Robotos as they tackle, track and steal the ball enroute to goal.

Google Earth on iPhone

clip_image001Putting Google Earth on the iPhone is brilliant!

For one thing, it's more useful than your Lonely Planet guidebook -- as the restaurant, bars, what-to-do and where-to-do information are constantly updated by Google Earth fanatics in real-time; not print-time  (CNET's informative wonderful review) .

I wonder how would travel publishers respond? Would they put out their own Google maps where users pay for updates? Or would they simply fold up en-mass?

    Putting Google Earth and Wikimapia.org together would be the icing on the cake

    Ehhh... but why? Wikimapia is powered by Google which uses Google Earth technology. So it doesn't seem like there's any difference...
