David Pogue who covers mobile and other consumer tech for the New York Times highlighted in a year-end post some of the best new features he saw in mobile devices and cameras in 2009:
- The dock designed for Motorola Droid can suction to the car windscreen. Magnetic sensors help fill the screen with Google’s GPS navigation application. Another dock for home turns it into a bedside alarm clock and also provides weather updates - while you charge it overnight.
- The MiFi is a “credit card-size, personal, portable, powerful, password-protected” Wi-Fi hot spot.
- The Samsung’s DualView TL220 has a front screen for framing self-portraits, for letting your subjects see what they are going to look like, for displaying a self-timer countdown etc.
- The Nikon’s Coolpix S1000pj ($430) introduces a built-in projector.
- The Palm Pre and Palm Pixi consolidates multiple calendars (Facebook events, Outlook or Google calendars) and address books.
- Cannot find your iPhone? On the me.com website you can see where it is on a zoomable map.
My question is who will put these together into one device?
