Experience Making, the Nokia Way.
Christian Lindholm at Nokia took the wraps off of a life recording application that spans the mobile phone, personal computer, and the web. The project is still in the concept phase, but looks quite promising. Experiences (text, pictures, audio, or video) can be taken on your mobile phone and synchronized and archived with your personal computer. You can then sync and share certain information with everyone on the web. More information can be found in my notes from the ETech session. Posted by Matt Croydon By matt@ooiio.com.

The ViriChip Uses an Atomic Microscope to Catch Viruses. Researchers in Iowa have used nanotechnology to develop a very small silicon chip to catch and help identify viruses, according to Technology Research News. The device, dubbed the ViriChip, is used in conjunction with an atomic force microscope (AFM). The prototype is already able to identify several viruses and should be in labs in less than two years. A particular application could help save lives by enabling doctors to check a donor heart for potential infections before transplanting it to a patient.
