Palm Pre Information & Updates
Palm just introduced their next-gen smartphone, the Palm Pre, and next-gen operating system, Palm webOS. Gadgetell's got the latest Pre and webOS information and news for you right here.
AND makes a chip that fits within a cell phone. When you breathe into the a sensor on the phone, the chip can determine concentrations of gasses. With this information, AND claims that they can detect things like how sauced you are, if you have diabetes, or even lung cancer.
This kind of data is actually very important. Placing a device (assuming it works as claimed) that can check your health in a phone is probably very interesting to people in the health insurance business. I could see a lot of parents also interested in a stealth breathalyzer when they loan their cars to their kids.
Then again, assuming the chip isn’t used for evil purposes, this could be just plain old helpful for regular folks to check their health. Your cell phone could be like a little “Check Engine” light for you. AND is looking to introduce to this to the Japanese market first. No word on when it will show up in the States.
