The return of Infra Red...

Infra Red technology used to used primarily for controlling you entertainment systems, air conditioning and so on. It was a part of the mobile technology back in the 90's and early 2000's but vanished with the advent of Bluetooth as a better alternative.

Today, with the introduction of HTC One & Samsung Galaxy S4 one thing is clear. Mobile tech companies are seeing the benefits of IR back in their device.

I would't be surprised if I see Apple releasing a typewriter later this year.

Third wave of Apple with iWatch and how Nike has a part to play

The future of wearable tech is bright and recent new related to Apple's next big thing the iWatch and Nike not building Fuelband for Android does have a link. Tim Cook is a huge fan of Nike's Fuelband and he has been trying to work together with them in making technology an integral part of an iUser's life. There was even a patent that Apple submitted few months ago on a shoe related technology.

There is something going on and I believe this is going to be Apple's next wave.

Ubuntu might be the future

Watch Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth explain Ubuntu's mobile strategy and what it offers industry partners.

Wearable Technology and Apple

The wildly successful iPod Nano' square design was discontinued and a new design was called in. People were perplexed as to why didn't Apple pursue the square design where people found innovative ways to make it into a watch, locket, workout buddy and the list goes on.

Did Apple miss something or did they see something?

Wearable technology is on the rise and with Nike releasing its Fuel band, Jawbone  releasing its Up and Google's Glass Project, we do see the trend of devices becoming more than just for information consumption.

Apple never started anything new but instead improved on what was existing and stagnant. In this case, will Apple pioneer this or does it improve on something that's already existing?

That we'll have to wait and see.

Steven Sinofsky finds a job and starts a blog

"Learning by Shipping" is the name of the new blog by Sinofsky. He states...

The title comes from something impressed upon me early in my career, which is that learning as an engineer comes from the process of starting, then finishing, and iterating on products–getting products to market and putting the broad feedback loop to work.  The teams and processes used to create products are critically important and fun to talk about relative to shipping and learning as we search for the best approaches to use at a given time.

Similar jobs great speech on hybridization and intersection, Sinofsky believes innovation is at the intersection of technology and social science. He is going to try out blogging and see what effect its gonna bring about. Hope he can bring in his thoughts and perspectives on product development and the process of bringing new products to market from his vast experience.
