Google Launching Flipper – Tossing the Dolphin?

by Jay Garrett on June 19, 2009

flipperGoogle is set to release Flipper into the wild!

I’m trying to avoid all these puns on porpoise but I can’t help it.

Flipper is actually a new feature in Google’s “Labs” section.

If reports are correct, it’s a way of viewing news content in a more magaziney format, helpful for browsing on mobile devices.

Flipper should allow users to browse not only by sections (business, technology, etc) but also by sources.

Perhaps they’re playing it as safe as possible after the newspaper industry got snarly at Google over alleged “theft” of content and traffic.

Whilst sat at my desk, trying to log in just takes me to a blank screen, but look out for it arriving.

Keep trying Flipper

By-the-way. Anyone else craving tuna? :p

Near Field Gadget Charging Get’s Its Mojo On!

by Jay Garrett on June 5, 2009

mojo-padNow, you may already know that I’m loving the idea of wireless charging systems like the Powermat.

Well, there’s a new one spotted at Computex named the Mojo Pad.

This near field power solution can be integrated into mobile devices such as the Palm Pre and iPhone, and the Mojo pad enables current to be transferred easily as soon as the device is placed on the mat like a sleepy kitten.

The Mojo will even turn itself off once the device reaches a full charge.

There’s no price info at the mo for the Mojo but apparently several OEMs are already looking into mixing it up into their next-gen products.

Bye-bye cables!
