Elephant eats a tourist's iPhone

When we visited the zoo or an animal park are often taken several photographs of them to remember a little tour we did in the place. One thing that definitely should not do is to keep our cameras or our smartphone too close to the animal in question or you can take it off your hands and eat it, as happened to a Chinese tourist. A curious fact undoubtedly.
In the video below we can see two tourists from China who are in an elephant park in Thailand. While one is fed the elephant, the other is dedicated to take photos from a distance too short. Seeing the delicious iPhone before their eyes, the elephant does not hesitate to take it twice in his trunk and eat.

Pants with special pocket for future smartphone included

The smartphones are becoming classic obsolete mobile phones in the same way that a current mobile phone makes it incredibly bulky classic cable, is inevitable. What remains to be seen is how much new technology affects other non-technological elements that surround us. For example, you might add a smartphone labor costs to the list of items you carry in his pockets with wallet, keys, etc.. That is why they are starting to appear clothing designs than a decade ago seem absurd but today these pants make sense as:

Basically it is pretty classic jeans but incorporate a pocket on the side with the idea that you can save some gadget, either a small or a modern mobile phone screen smartphone with 4 or 5 inches. The pocket opens forward as you can see in the photo, so you just have to do finger crimp and pull forward to get the mobile or resave. The only downside I see is that it seems to have a secure closure which can facilitate the loss or theft of the smartphone.

The official name of these pants is 'Social Replay Denim jeans' pocket and have called in a fun way as 'I/O Pocket' (input output pocket). Is offered for sale for a price of around 100 euros but not worldwide, however the important thing here is the concept itself and the fact that sooner or later begin to see in clothing stores all kinds of garments like this one designed to carry smartphones and perhaps even tablets.

Huawei could be developing a 8.5-inch smartphone

The rumors, as we saw a few days ago, say the future of Samsung Note III used a large screen of 6.3 inches, which almost makes it a tablet, but something that draws even more attention is the Huawei rumor that might be developing a smartphone with a screen of no less than 8.5 inches. Given these proportions, all say that it is a tablet, but the famous blogger Eldar Murtazin said via Twitter that it will be a new smartphone.

It seems totally ridiculous that someone put such a device to your ear, and while you could use a headset, not a good idea because it would have to charge the tablet all day, not to mention that many do not like that system and prefer to speak directly via mobile.

The 8.5-inch smartphone and the term undoubtedly not mix. Do you really believe that Huawei is developing such a gadget?

Hop, the suitcase that follows you automatically

 

Many times when we travel, we usually carry luggage too heavy and actually ended up working hard transporting them from one place to another. Well, that may soon fall behind, because now there is a new type of bag that communicates with our smartphone wirelessly and follows us wherever we go, all without laying a finger on. This short is called Hop.
Hop is designed to follow the user to maintain a constant distance, and if for some reason it away, it will issue an alert on our mobile.
The small built-Hop has three types of technology used to receive different, identify and triangular signals from the user's smartphone. A microcontroller calculates the relative position between the suitcase and mobile, and then the bag is moved using compressed air.
If we judge by the size, we see that the capacity is a bit limited, but still continues to be very useful and can expect to get very good for the elderly and people who can not do a lot of strength. For now, the units are prototypes and have not yet gone on sale, and surely will not until at least next year.
