Traveling iClass

 The new breed of mobile phones such as iPhone 3GS & Android have three base characteristics that set them apart from their lessors:
  • Sensor Supported
    • Vison via camera and camcorder
    • Audio via microphone
    • Gravity/acceleration via accelerometers
    • Touch via the GUI
    • Electromagnetic - everything from GPS signals, WiFi transceivers, BluTooth, Cell Phone signals to Compass bearingsLocation-Aware
      • And this section is evolving rapidly as large companies and home coders alike apply 'collective intelligence' to assess what the market wants, and how to go about providing it.
      • Also I envisage a new breed of sensor apps coming online as wired and wireless sensor 'bolt-ons' are connected to the phones to provide perception across say temperature, microscopy, smell and even taste
  • Internet Connected
    • Within a given 3G signal umbrella you can source the web.
  • Location Aware
    • Via GPS signal processing and cell Phone triangulation

I'd been trying to get a suitable acronym from SS, IC and LA. Lassic, Ssicla and finally iClass appears out of the mix...

 just like the dyslexic guy who walked into a bra... and said Ouch!.  It was an iron bar.
