Of course, here comes Betty with her awesome new iPhone... she can play games on it.. use it as a GPS...and surf the web, BUT can it look at what you did the other day, and tell you how to improve it??
Check out the Polaris phone, a new phone/system made by KDDI and Japan's Flower Robotics. Its part phone, part robot. That's right, you read that correctly, Robot. It is a three way system that incorporates your TV, phone, and robotic sphere pictured up top. The sphere has speakers for the phone and its music, and wheels, which roll it to the closest power source to charge your phone. The sphere also links up with your TV, and displays all the details of your life and behavior your phone records. It records everything... and when I say everything... I mean it. It follows who you email, where you go, who you call, what you buy...etc It also analyzes your habits based on patterns, and gives you advice.
Unfortunately, this is still a prototype, as the data collection system and Nav part of the sphere need more time and work. Fortunately for us, the company says that it plans to have this gadget available by next year.
So start saving up, cause looking at how it's going so far, this hefty thing is going to eat a relatively large whole through your wallet.
