Welcome to a Digital Camera Battery specialist of the Panasonic Digital Camera Battery
When the iPhone 4S first debuted, its big sell was Siri. The assistant app was supposed to be the first realization of AI technology, the best way to utilize what the smartphone could do. Of course we soon learned that all the celebrity endorsements in the world couldn’t make Siri what it wasn’t, and it’s been an often-mocked, largely disappointing feature.
It’s due for an upgrade, which we’ll likely see in the iPhone 5, but until then there’s something of a gap space in the market for developers to exploit. Cue a Google reactionary product! Debuted at Google I/O, Google Now looked with battery like Panasonic CGA-S101A Battery , Olympus Li-10B Battery , Olympus BLM1 Battery , panasonic NV-GS10 battery , panasonic VHS-C Battery , canon EOS 400D Battery , panasonic VW-VBD1E Battery , panasonic VW-VBD1 Battery , Panasonic CGA-S002 Battery , HITACHI DZ-HS300E Battery , Olympus FE-230 Battery , canon MV930 Battery to be a step up from the Siri experience, with a deeper integration into how you use your smartphone and tighter predictive abilities.
But it’s not here yet, and it’s certainly not going to be native for any iPhones in the near future. So again, hello market gap. It’s a gap that the team behind Saga noticed. “Scout’s honor, hand to god, we did not know Google Now was in development but when we heard from our guy at I/O about the announcement, we were super thrilled,” CEO Andy Hickl tells me. “We were really excited because it made our job making people understand this space so much easier.”
In a quick demo of Saga (which launches today and is free for iPhone), Hickl showed off how the phone, much like Google Now, reads what you’re using your phone to do and then makes predictions about what you might want to know and keeps a dynamic log of your history. Hickl describes it as a heads-up display for life: it’s a behind-the-scenes way to use your data, location, and habits to figure out what type of help you might need.
Under the hood, Saga uses your GPS information via nearby Wi-Fi hotspots, the phone’s accelerometers, and puts that into its backend machine to make data observations that it then packages nicely and displays to you. It doesn’t rely on check-ins or need frequent location updates you manually log; Hickl insists it gets down the minutiae of your movement, which is something that should interest Quantified Self enthusiasts who like the ability to track their every human moment.
To that end, Saga launches with a few key platform integrations. The app will work with Runkeeper, Fitbit, and Withings integration, and Nike+ is on the horizon.
Of course you can’t talk about a location-based app without talking about battery drain – the great bane of location aware apps. Luckily for us and developers, this is getting better faster and faster, and Hickl says that you can use Saga for 30 hours on one overnight charge. The launch was actually delayed because the team wanted to get battery drain down ahead of the debut.
