Thinklabs Electronic Stethoscope iPhone App

Thinklabs Medical have created a new iPhone app that integrates with the electrostatic ds32a stethoscope to provide detailed visual readings of sounds heard by the stethoscope.

By attaching the ds32a to your iPhone you get to use basic editing and see a number of visualisation options that can be emailed or sent by MMS to other users to monitor what is happening.

As well as being able to record sounds from the stethoscope, a pre-recorded library is also available that can be used to teach students as well as being used for comparisons of live sounds. [Read more…]

New iPad SDK Mentions Video Calling

The Apple [AAPL] iPad was first announced about a month ago and at that time it was revealed that it doesn’t have a camera at all on the device. A few weeks later it was spotted that the iPad’s bezel actually had a cut out for a camera but it still seems like the final iPad won’t actually arrive with a camera. This could mean a second generation iPad is already being built.

A new iPad SDK was recently released that was also found to support a front facing camera, camera flash, zoom and video conferencing.

This information was found in the SDK thanks to a couple of buttons that show large Decline and Accept video call buttons which appear to be too big for the iPhone screen. [Read more…]

Michael Jackson Disco Shoes

These shoes are designed to look like the shoes worn in the classic Billy Jean video which MJ wears when walking on floor tiles that light up. The problem though is that if you want your own light up floor then you are restricted to walking on that floor if you want light up squares under your feet. Normally, you wouldn’t be able to easily carry a vast amount of light up tiles around with you.

These shoes actually come with light up tiles attached to them allowing you to take the light up squares with you wherever you are walking. [Read more…]
