monitor any remote targets by SMS or GPRS. It can transmit the longitude and latitude coordinates to your cell phone by the SMS. By this, you can find its location on the Google maps or other map software. The tracker can also upload position data through GPRS to a designated server. The user can look for real-time tracking, historical trajectory and operate in the computer.?

NYPD officers are fed up! Their typewriters are broken down relics from a previous age, making police work more difficult, stressful and demoralizing. To remedy this, the city is spending close to a million dollars. On new typewriters.

It’s easy to see what happened here: faced with a failing fleet of typewriters?used for property and evidence vouchers, and little else?the NYPD could either upgrade and computerize their entire system, possibly saving time, money and morale in the long run, or just fix and replace their existing equipment. For a variety of plausible and sympathetic reasons?upfront cost, time, lack of cooperation from the government, etc?they chose the latter route.

But don’t let that tarnish the glorious absurdity of the situation for you. This a 21st-century big city police force, nearly all of whom own personal computers, that spends?and will continue to spend?its days slaving away in front of machines that the rest of the modern world only waxes nostalgic about.

In a recent interview with CNET, Bill Gates let spill the true scope of Microsoft’s ambitions for the technology behind the Xbox’s Project Natal. Basically, it isn’t just a gaming gimmick?they want to try it everywhere.

Here’s how everyone’s still-favorite Microsoft figurehead (sorry Ballmer!) sees camera-based motion tech playing out:

[The concept also works] for media consumption as a whole, and even if they connect it up to Windows PCs for interacting in terms of meetings, and collaboration, and communication…I think the value is as great for if you’re in the home, as you want to manage your movies, music, home system type stuff, it’s very cool there.

Combined with his statements that it’s specifically “Windows guys” who’ve latched onto the technology, this implies something like a motion-controlled Windows, core application set or, at the very least, Media Center. He doesn’t offer any specifics, but gesture-based music, video and photo manipulation aren’t too difficult to imagine. What about office uses?:

…I think there’s incredible value as we use that in the office connected to a Windows PC. So Microsoft research and the product groups have a lot going on there, because you can use the cost reduction that will take place over the years to say, why shouldn’t that be in most office environments.

So the coolest thing about Natal in the workplace is, based on what we know now, “cost reduction.” Guys, I want dance-actuated PowerPoint presentations at a minimum.

We’ll probably see some meatier details about Microsoft’s wider motion control ambitions soon enough, but even with this scant information, it’s fair to say that the company is serious about the technology. We’re well overdue for an overhaul to the way we interact with computers, and the fact that Microsoft is aware of this?and doing something about it?is promising. Tentatively.

The UI is glossy and glowy and widgety?lighting effects, reflections and giant buttons abound. It can be impressively smooth in action, given how dinky the T91′s guts are (1.33GHz Atom Z520). It has its own apps inside, like a flashy photo program, notepad for scribbling, and internet radio. There’s widget desktop inside as well. You can move between the Touch Gate homescreen, widgets desktop and Windows XP by flicking left or right. It’s confusing and annoying though?why can you only have five programs on the Touch Gate homescreen? To get to other apps, you have to move a slider sitting below to “unlock” the rest of the apps, which pop up in a semi-circle. From there, you can launch one, or trade out the apps that appear on your homescreen.

But let’s just cut to it: I’m just not sure why anyone would want this, barring other third party apps you’d install that would unleash the potential of the tablet. (Which is perfectly adequate from a hardware standpoint?the touchscreen is pretty accurate with the stylus after calibration, though the LED-backlit screen suffers from the typical Asus dimness.) With the exception of being able to literally scribble notes and some whizbang photo flick gestures, there’s nothing you can accomplish with Asus’s custom widget OS overlay you couldn’t do on a regular netbook with a regular Windows XP build. And a glorified app launcher for a handful of custom apps + a widget desktop that essentially exist just to lie on top of Windows XP to make touch actually usable aren’t exactly compelling reasons to spring for a tablet, especially when more often than not, the experience simply frustrates because the software seems to misinterpret what you intended a tap to mean.

If there’s a specific reason you want a Windows XP tablet with a crampy screen that doubles as decent last-gen netbook with a crampy screen, then for $500, the T91 might be your ticket. But if you’re just aching for a cheap touchscreen tablet to dick around on the internet, you’d be better off waiting for the $300 CrunchPad. The T91 was much better as the glimmer of hope in our eye at CES.
