I was recently contacted by Gilad Grinbaum of G Innovations; I found his enthusiasm infectious and contagious enough to get me in the car and drive to the centre of Sydney. At his office I was greeted by fists full of cables, PCB, cameras, touchscreens and more � my type of place.
We spent a few hours together while he presented me with the world�s first IP (Internet Protocol) based home automation system, dubbed the Superna System. I was immediately impressed with the ease of use and fascinated with the implications for our space, Tablet PC.
Superna is the brainchild of Arik Vardi (one of the 4 who set up ICQ) and his brother Oded. They�ve put together an exquisite software package that enables the most flexible form of home automation I�ve ever experienced. When coupled with the Superna Controller (hardware that makes the cogs turn) it is an outstanding example of things to come.
Why phone me? I was contacted because it seems Superna sees UMPC as a vital player in the home automation space; I can confirm that they�ve placed orders for �eo� devices and are working on adjusting their software to suit 800x480.
The following video is a short demonstration (adhoc, as I would have liked another take but had no time) of Ultra Mobile PC as a device for something other than surfing the internet. I decided to post the video because I'd like to see other bloggers post about Ultra Mobile PC as a functional device, not just a cool one.
For your enjoyment download video here!
Or watch it on YouTube.com!
- Obviously I still do not have an Ultra Mobile PC so I used the UMPC Display Emulator for this display.
- I recently used the emultaor in this video and this one.
- The eo UMPC is available in Australia and New Zealand via Tegatech Australia, a Tablet PC specialist.
