| Gunshot detection coming to a PDA near you |
||
A FEW YEARS BACK the vogue was to cite location-based services as the killer application for the wonderful new world of wireless web. As with most marketing messages from 1999 or 2000 little substance emerged to fulfill the hype, largely because of the complexity of the technology.
But now with the help of a New Orleans-based company, you can truly put your smartphone or PDA to good use by using it to ascertain the location of something more interesting than the local restaurant – gunfire. Unless, of course, you happen to live in neighborhoods such as Oakland in California which has the dubious honour of suffering 113 murders in 2002. It's more likely that there and in other war zones around the world, your ears (though hopefully not your eyes) will suffice. http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=7911 |
