![]() But creating a new, light, efficient, climate-friendly battery is a very Apple thing to do and it also made me think that large, inefficient batteries have always been one of the drawbacks with electric cars. ![]() This could be a smoke-and-mirrors re-hash of the wind-up computer stories. I read last December that they were working on light hydrogen batteries which could last for weeks without re-charging. The thing about Apple is that they will suddenly release a new product which is utterly different. IGLASSES COMEDY TVI cannot see what the new Apple iTV would be… there is already an Apple TV box to screen computer output on a TV screen other companies make devices which are voice-controlled or which react to hand movements. ![]() This got me thinking about Apple’s rumoured new iTV (although, of course, they could never call it that in the UK because of the existing ITV television network).Īt least twice, when they have been developing new products, Apple have created false rumours that they were working on a wind-up computer which would require no battery or, at least, mean you could re-charge the battery without plugging into an electricity socket. I laughed in Whitstable that the sound quality was so good and the lateral thinking by Jon & Jacki so impressive that it could almost be a new product from Apple… the iGlass. My product testing – putting my iPhone in the glass and playing music on it in the shop – did not go un-noticed but was not frowned-on, as the charity shop got £1.99p for the glass. It was such an impressive piece of lateral thinking that I went home and bought my own new sound system in a local charity shop. The sound is amplified by the shape of the glass and, depending on the shape, it delivers different sound qualities: bass, tinny, rich-and-golden, whatever. There, John Hale has created a new sound amplification system at a mere fraction of the cost of a top-of-the-range Bang & Olufsen or Sony sound system. OK, it’s a beach hut but it’s a very nice beach hut. ![]() My newly-installed iGlass super- sound systemĪ couple of weeks ago I went with Greenwich vintage clothing Emporium’s entrepreneurial owners Jacki Cook and Jon Hale to their second home in Whitstable. ![]()
