Eye-Fi: If you have a digital camera with a SD card slot, Eye-Fi has a plug-in that automatically geotags (location stamping) pictures taken with your camera. Using technology from Skyhook Wireless, locations are identified by triangulating distances between Wi-Fi hotspots. The Wi-Fi aware card also automatically uploads your photos to your PC and to the web. Eye-Fi integrates with the Wi-Fi networkWayport which means users can automatically upload their photos from 10,000 hotspots in the U.S. Dash Navigation API: Brady previously blogged about both the Dash device and API. This morning they highlighted new third-party applications from Coldwell Banker (real estate app for home buyers), Funambol (calendar app that interfaces seamlessly with Outlook and web-based calendars), BakTrax Radio (remembers last 3 songs played on car's AM/FM radio) and Trapster (alerts drivers of the presence of live speed traps and red light sensors). The audience especially loved Trapster! |
翻译：yarshure Eye-Fi：如果你的数码相机带SD卡插槽的话, Eye-Fi 的插件可以自动“geotag” (即印出位置标记) 相机所拍摄的图片。该技术来源于Skyhook Wireless，通过对Wi-Fi热点（hotspots）之间作三角测量得出的距离来确定位置。Wi-Fi智能卡还会自动将你的照片上传到PC和Web。Eye-Fi集成了Wi-Fi网络Wayport，这意味着用户可以从美国的10，000个热点(hotspots)自动上传照片， Dash Navigation API：Brady之前已在博客上讨论了Dash device和 API。今天早上，他们特别强调了一些新的第三方应用程序，有Coldwell Banker (购房者使用的房地产应用程序), Funambol (日历应用程序，可以与Outlook和基于Web的日历无缝集成), BakTrax Radio (记住车载AM/FM收音机的最后3首歌)，以及Trapster (提醒司机出现超速区和红灯感应器)。人们尤其喜欢Trapster！ |
