Uniden Develops Custom Vonage Phone

The new Uniden UIP1869V cordless phone comes with a corded base unit and is expandable to support up to ten cordless handsets. What makes the cordless phone unique is the integrated Texas Instruments’ TNETV1060 VoIP gateway chipset which actually allows you to use the phone for answering VoIP calls. The phone will plug directly into your broadband connection or router and basically eliminates the need for a special phone adapter.

The Uniden UIP1869V phone system will use 5.8Ghz wireless technology.

There is no mention as to when the new phone system will be available for purchase, or its price.

When King County, Washington, voters cast a ballot for King Conservation District Board of Supervisors this year, they’ll be able to do so by smartphone, if they wish. While the county, which includes the city of Seattle, has about 1.2 million voters, in the past only between 1 and 3 percent usually participate in these types of elections. Supporters of the move are hoping it will empower more people to vote, but critics worry about the security of such a system.

By inputting their name and birthday via their phone’s internet browser, King County voters can log in to the portal. They choose and verify their candidate, then use their phone’s touchscreen to submit their signature.

Smart A.I. bodysuits could reveal when babies are developing mobility problems

Baby smart bodysuit

In sci-fi shows like Star Trek, people wear jumpsuits because, well, it’s the future. In real life, babies could soon wear special high-tech jumpsuits designed to help doctors monitor their movements and look for any possible mobility issues that are developing.

The smart jumpsuit in question has been developed by medical and A.I. researchers in Finland’s Helsinki Children’s Hospital. In a recent demonstration, they fitted 22 babies, some as young as four months, with jumpsuits equipped with motion sensors. These enabled the suits to register the acceleration and positional data of wearers and relay it to a nearby smartphone. A neural network was then trained to recognize posture and movement by comparing data from the suits with video shot by the researchers.

Zanco tiny t2

U.K.-based Zanco thinks you have space in your pocket for another phone, and from the looks of it, the Tiny t2 won't take up much space at all. What the company's calling the "world's smallest phone" appeared on Kickstarter this week, becoming fully funded in less than a day.

This is the second tiny phone from the company, the other being the Zanco Tiny t1, introduced in 2017 and on sale on Amazon for $50.
