Show Script:
HEY THERE HOPE YOU'RE HAVING A GREAT DAY...
I'M RICH DEMURO AND YOU ARE WATCHING THE SYNCHED UP SHOW.
DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, BUT I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A LITTLE LEERY ABOUT AMAZON'S 1-CLICK...
NOW I HAVE A REASON.
ENGADGET FOUND A KINDLE E-BOOK THAT'S JUST ONE CLICK AWAY FROM A 42-THOUSAND DOLLAR CHARGE ON YOUR CREDIT CARD.
AND IT ONLY HAS ONE STAR!
HERE'S A ONE CLICK MOMENT YOU WON'T REGRET...
IT'S A 3-D INTERFACE FOR YOUR CELL PHONE!
IMAGINE MOVING YOUR PHONE AND BEING ABLE TO SEE AROUND CORNERS AND BEHIND THINGS...
PLUS POP UP WINDOWS THAT ACTUALLY POP OUT!
THE TECHNOLOGY CALLED TAT CASCADES... FROM A SWEDISH SOFTWARE COMPANY CALLED THE ASTONISHING TRIBES.
THE COMPANY ALSO HAS LOTS OF OTHER COOL CONCEPT VIDEOS ON THEIR WEBSITE.
NOW FOR THE DOWNLOAD...
IF YOU HAVE AN IPHONE AND ITUNES...IT'S SIMPLE TO SYNC..
NOW DOUBLETWIST WANTS TO MAKE EVERY DEVICE PLAY THAT NICE.
THE SIMPLE PROGRAM AIMS TO LET YOU DRAG AND DROP MEDIA FROM YOUR COMPUTER TO JUST ABOUT ANY DEVICE.
DOUBLETWIST WORKS WITH PHONES, MP3 PLAYERS, THE PSP, DIGITAL CAMERAS AND MORE.
WHILE YOU JUST DRAG AND DROP - THE HEAVY LIFTING IS DONE IN THE BACKGROUND...
DT CONVERTS MEDIA INTO A FORMAT YOUR DEVICE WILL RECOGNIZE.
RIGHT NOW JUST A MAC VERSION...BUT WINDOWS IS COMING SOON.
WITHIN SECONDS OF DOWNLOADING DOUBLETWIST I WAS PUTTING MUSIC, VIDEOS AND PICTURES ON MY BLACKBERRY...
PLUS PULLING SOME STUFF OFF OF IT.
TONS OF POTENTIAL HERE...
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT SOUND MEANS...
IT'S TIME ONCE AGAIN, FOR A QUICK QUIZ!
((QUICK QUIZ/SHIRA LAZAR))
THANKS SHIRA...
AND THANKS TO BLANKSPACES FOR LETTING US TAPE THERE.
NEXT UP - THE BETA...
HOW ABOUT MAKING SOME FREE PHONE CALLS?
FREE-VOICE-LINE-DOT COM CAN HELP YOU DO JUST THAT...
NO LOGIN REQUIRED - THE MINIMAL SITE SIMPLY ASKS FOR THE NUMBER YOU WANT TO CALL AND YOUR PHONE NUMBER...
IT CONNECTS THE TWO AND RINGS YOUR PHONE FOR A COMPLETELY COSTLESS CHAT.
YOU DO HEAR AN AD BEFORE YOUR CALL STARTS.
YEAH I DON'T THINK IT WILL WORK WITH 900 NUMBERS...DO THOSE EVEN EXIST ANYMORE.
FINALLY - A FUN USE OF PHOTOSHOP...
MAKING SIGNS FLOAT.
CHICAGO ARTIST MATT SIBER WAS INTRIGUED BY ALL OF THE TALL SIGNS LOOMING OVER MID-AMERICA...
SO HE WONDERED WHAT THEY WOULD LOOK LIKE WITHOUT THE POLES.
HIS FLOATING LOGOS PROJECT GIVES US A PEEK...
IT KIND OF LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING YOU'D SEE IN THE FUTURE...
FLOATING SIGNS ADVERTISING PLACES TO EAT, GAS UP AND BANK.
COMING BACK DOWN TO EARTH...
THAT ABOUT DOES IT FOR THIS EDITION OF THE SYNCHED UP SHOW...
TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK BY DROPPING ME A LINE ON TWITTER...
I'M RICH DEMURO - CONSIDER YOURSELF ALL SYNCHED UP AND DON'T SAY I DIDN'T TELL YOU SO.
