OK, here’s a 3G application I actually find very interesting — the 3G “mobile eye” that Smart Communications has launched. I’m a parent, and the idea of using your 3G mobile phone to keep an eye on your kids and make sure they’re safe while you’re at work appeals to me.
Here’s an excerpt from INQUIRER.net reporter Lawrence Casiraya’s article:
Called “Mobile Eye,” the portable device comes with a SIM (subscriber identification module) card that allows it to receive video calls. The user can then control the camera — which can pan in different directions up to 45 degrees — via a video call or SMS.
The device also has a built-in microphone and speaker for two-way communication, and a memory card slot for video recording (using the 3gp format), which is enabled via a video call.
