Vodafone will market short on the first Google Phone with Android operating system. The Magic HTC has really interesting features and could be an excellent springboard for Android, probably the real alternative to the various Iphone and PDA with Windows Mobile and Symbian.
In Open Source operating system, the possibility of customizing your phone by downloading and installing a very simple widgets or other programs. Direct access to Google online services such as Google Maps, Gmail, Google Talk and Youtube.
The first Google Android Phone to spread amongst the general public is always the HTC G1. Now we can use this new system here in Italy with the HTC model Magic (dubbed by many G2). These are the main technical characteristics:
Given the huge number of licenses withdrawn (especially on weekends) because of drunk driving, you try to make the method more aware of the "drivers" on Saturday night by offering them an object of fashion. In fact, according to the statistics disseminated by the Carabinieri Como - as a reference city for the project - are over a hundred licenses have already been collected in 2009 and about a dozen that the Police every weekend escapes to drivers a little tipsy. To prevent the continued spread of this phenomenon, was born the "Do not Drink the license" promoted by the Municipality of Como, by E20, ASL, the CA and the Italian Red Cross. All this is possible thanks to a small software that is loaded on the phone or on the navigation system of the machine.
In practice, the software will simulate the situation of driving under the influence of alcohol under the alcohol that currently have in your blood. This project wants to experience. Simulating the condition of having too drunk to drive the boys want to bring to the awareness that drinking even one beer and placing themselves at the wheel may lose their license but also life. Prohibitionism is not, therefore, but awareness. Overall, the initiatives relating to security in the youth believe that the project "Sobriomobile", which can be used on any mobile phone, enabling young people to become aware of the problem in a conscious way. This is a project that we have addressed the young people of high school (8,000 in the whole city) using techniques and tools that everyone uses every day, so the mobile. In fact it is almost a game that allows young people to understand what has been drunk and in what situation you are.
The card to be able to download the program will be distributed at colleges for free at a series of meetings to be held from next week until the month of May, meetings during which we will explain how to join this project. Do not forget that if we involve eight thousand high school students, in the end we will have involved 16 thousand parents and many friends or relatives. because not only are young people drinking and to get the license, but also adults. The plan if working according to the statistics will be disseminated throughout Italy, where the phone is a popular tool now.
