Connect Common Household & Business Devices with Global Cache'
Global Cache'
Connect Common Devices to a Network:
We've followed Robin Ford and Walt Keller's Global Cache' from the beginning. Now they have the makings of a big hit. Robin talked about their products that connect common household and business devices to a network, where they can be accessed and controlled using network-based software. GC showed its core product at Piero's, the GC-100 Network Adapter, which connects infrared (TV, DVD), serial (speakers, stereos), and contact closure (lights, pool/spa) devices to a network. In addition, it exhibited its award winning infrared GC-IRL IR Learner.

DualCor: Is it a Cellphone? Is it a PC? How about BOTH!

DualCor Technologies, Inc.

Dual Processor Wireless Handheld Device:
A small device that will be out this spring, is getting a lot of buzz. We talked to Steve Hanley about the DualCor cPC, an “all-in-one,” wireless handheld device combining the functionality of a desktop personal computer, PDA and cell phone. A unique dual processor architecture and integrated 40GB hard drive allows the cPC to concurrently run both Windows® XP Tablet PC Edition and Windows® Mobile 5.0 applications while simultaneously supporting broadband data and phone connectivity. The device represents a new category of hardware for global enterprise computing and promises to end the compromise between mobility, functionality and productivity for the mobile business professional.

Linking Physical Objects to Digital Experiences:
We had a chat with John Boucard, head of invention studio Infinite Machines LLC. One of his inventions is Expericons, tiny charms that can link physical objects to digital experiences. Anyone can use Expericons to activate custom collections of pictures, music, videos, and websites on devices such as computers, phones, set top boxes, and even DVD Players...for less than the price of a greeting card. Recently, Comic-book legend Stan Lee partnered with Boucard to introduce Power Patrol Jewelry for collectors, comic book fans and gaming fanatics based on Expericon technology.
