Disappearing Car Door

In this day and age, car manufactures and designers have been making vehicles loaded with as much technology as possible. Cars have advanced from little scraps of medal to luxury cars worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is an industry which is continuously growing. A company known as Jatech LLC located in California, came together to invent a Retractable Vehicle Door. This project is also known as the “Disappearing Car Door”. This new feature is an invention which is unique and stylish. This disappearing door is a feature which makes getting into your car a whole new trend. By adding this feature, it is proven that there are many advantages such as:
-the Drop door does not swing out endangering other road users or pedestrians.
-less parking or garage space required
-no one can “block you in” from getting into your vehicle
-enhances body stiffness and strength in your car
These are only a few features of the disappearing door. The disappearing door opens from beneath the vehicle. It is something like power windows, which is controlled by the user. These doors care easily opened and closed with the simple touch of a button. Below is a video explaining exactly how these doors have been adapted into vehicle technology and the positive attributes it provides a driver.The Disappearing door is one of the most unique features I have ever seen, and will probably be one of the most popular trend in the future.

Apple Ipad

Apple has came out with another extraordinary piece of technology named the “I pad”. This device is claimed to be “the most advanced technology in a magical revolutionary device”. The price for this product starts at $499, which is not so bad. After coming into fierce competition with many other devices such as the Nokia XpressMusic 5800, this new device which apple presents seems to regain their number one position in this industry. This device offers their consumers a big and multi touch screen where they can write emails, browse the net, watch movies, and go through photos. This device also is very slim as it is only 0.5 inches thin and 1.5 pounds. The Ipad also comes with over 140 000 applications from the day it is purchased. Some may argue that this device is very unnecessary and is oversized. Some may also argue, why bother buy an Ipad as it is similar to a computer? But if one were to compare the two, an Ipad has its advantages which a laptop computer cannot compare to. A laptop needs cables and wires to use the device. Whereas an Ipad is charged and there is no loosened wires running around. It also offers 10 hours of battery life, wireless adaptors, performance A4 chip inside, and audio. The Ipad has a powerful speaker system which comes with an earphone jack and a built in microphone. Overall this device was a great idea to create, as it proves how strong technology has been advancing in the 21st century.

Iphone KIller

Nokia a well established organization came out with a product which has shocked many Iphone users. This product is the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic.The XpressMusic happens to be a very intelligent and versatile device. Due to its unique and smart features, I have concluded that the Nokia is a better phone than the Apple Iphone.

In Comparison

The Touch screen on the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic offers an amazing image quality. Some may argue that the Nokia offers better image quality. As well the Nokia comes with a small and efficient touch screen pen, which allows users to accurately identify what they want to touch. The Iphone only allows consumers to use there fingers which can be complicated to those who have bigger fingers. When I purchased my Nokia XpressMusic 5800, I received multiple video and audio plug-in cables which allow me to output videos and images directly to a TV of my choice. However, Apple only offers their standard USB cable with their device. The Nokia Xpress Also comes with a 3.2 mega pixels camera with Carl Zeiss Optics and dual flash which is really good for just a phone. Iphone offers 2 Megapixels camera. The Iphone doesn’t have flash as well. The Xpress Music also has a unique feature which the Iphone cannot challenge as yet. This would be video calls. Iphone has not yet made this possible for their devices. Overall the XpressMusic happens to be not much smaller in size and is listed at a lower price. So why bother wasting all that money investing in an Iphone?
