To those uncertain of the significance of this event, please watch minutes 48:05-51:35 of the keynote speech.
Up until this point, I thought the presentation was pretty mild. I was impressed by some interesting ports of various quirky, visually interesting if not dry apps.
Then Mark Cain, CTO of MIMvista took stage. He started explaining the CT & PET imaging software for physicians. Then, he showed a MIP Movie of a PET image. Then he colored it. And pinched it, spun it and pulled it. Whoah!
First, those are traditionally massive images requiring serious bandwidth and processing power. Second, this is a cell phone. Third, it took only a few weeks to get this far.
If propogated widely, what might happen? Democratization? Remote medical diagnostics? virtual schools?
This device could be the solution to the $100 laptop. I think we've barely scratched the surface... Get this thing in Africa ASAP please!
