iPhone Waters Your Plants

We know that iPhone is a fascinating gadget with its innovative and various functions. But its new gardening opportunity is really amazing. Now people have a chance to use the iPhone to water their plants. As someone created a robotic system that when controlled by your iPhone’s Safari web browser waters your plants!

Sure you would be astonished, but here is how it works: It is possible by checking Mobile Safari Position. Whenever Mobile Safari changes position from horizontal to vertical, a web server notices the changes and via a JavaScript, and some electrical engineering, changes the position of the can and moves it up and down.

P.S. Who knows what would be another surprise from iPhone?

Updated Interface Google Apps On The iPhone

Google released a new updated interface for the iPhone and iPod Touch that lets Google Apps users easily access everything they need in an integrated environment: Google Calendar, Google Docs, Reader as well as Google Apps like Google Notebook, Google News and Blogger.

Google also announced that it is now available in several languages. They also implemented search query suggestions, and email auto complete.

If you have Google Apps for your domain, you can bookmark or set http://www.google.com/m/a/your-domain.com as your default page for quicker access to the information you find the most useful. This specific functionality is new, but the interface you will be using is actually a few months old.
