We have seen videos of baggage handlers and package deliveries take a
turn for the worse. The problem is that often it is difficult to pin
down who did what, and when to your stuff while it was in transit.
Baggage
handlers at airports have earned infamy for poor handling of personal
luggage, although they are not the only source of potential damage to
checked baggage. Turbulence during the flight or a broken stow in the
cargo compartment can shift things around and potentially cause damage.
That fancy whiz-bang gadget you just ordered has its challenges as
well. Maybe the delivery driver is having a day of lapsed judgment
decides to play soccer with your package. Or, maybe things get bumped
around at the sorting facility.
It would be pretty cool if you
could know just how well your package is being treated while it is in
transit right? There are already devices that measure designated
impacts for sensitive items, but they are either mechanical in nature
(and often single use) or are super-sophisticated and thus cost
prohibitive. DropTag bridges that gap with a Bluetooth connected
telemetry tag that will provide real time updates to your device.
With
DropTag, from the moment a package is shipped or a bag is dropped, you
will be able to see how and when your goods are being (mis)treated. The
company behind DropTag, Cambridge Consultants, is still developing the
hardware and mobile application that accompanies it, but from the looks
of things, they are well on their way to having a nice value-add piece
for merchants and customers alike.

Images taken with the camera on the Samsung Galaxy S IV
For the last few weeks, information about a smartphone for AT&T with
the model number Samsung SGH-l337 has been spotted. Thanks to the
UAProf, we know that the device has a 4.99-inch 1920 x 1080 display
which works out to 441ppi. Pictures allegedly with the camera from the
AT&T model have been joined with pictures claimed to be from a model
for Korea (SHV-E300S). The story here is that the two devices are said
to be different variants of the eagerly awaited Samsung Galaxy S IV.
The pictures were uploaded to Google+ with the photos taken from the
Korean camera uploaded on Wednesday and the shots from the AT&T
model uploaded on Thursday.
In
a way, those who already have been collecting money in a piggy bank,
selling blood (or, ahem, other bodily fluids) raising money for the
sequel to the current flagship Android model, might hope that these
pictures have nothing to do with the Samsung Galaxy S IV. Why? Because
the data indicate that the pictures were most likely not shot using a
13MP camera, which has been rumored to be on the back of the phone.
Either a camera with a smaller sensor was used, or else someone at
Samsung fiddled with the controls in an attempt to get the dogs off the
scent. The latter is a possibility as the EXIF data indicates that the
maximum resolution was not used.
