MorphCase now on Indiegogo ; )
I know everyone thinks you need cellular to be mobile these days, but we are on the brink of a wi-fi explosion. The technology for a Wi-Fi phone won't need a cellular data network to always be connected in the future. Wi-Fi networks are easy and inexpensive to set up as compared to a cellular tower.
Just using my current prototype with my iPod Touch, there is rarely a time when I'm not connected to wi-fi. I've been researching wi-fi and white space technology for the past three years and all it will take is a national network for people to be connected seamlessly. These are the most current advances I'm really excited about:
-
CableWiFi and
Passpoint point have started their wi-fi networks
- Connectify created
Dispatch technology your to combine networks for faster speeds wherever you are
-
Anyfi.net is working on chips for hotspots that allow you to stay connected to your home network
-
Spectrum Bridge is advancing every day with White Space Technology and integrating their chipsets into
products (Mifi's, routers, etc.)
If there is a consumer demand for my case, in no time Apple (iPod) , Samsung (Galaxy Player) and even Sony (Walkman) will add the speaker (top) and microphone (bottom) to their players. Right now, they all want to stay in the billion dollars cellular industry and that is why there is so much fighting in the patent lawsuits. If any of them opt to change their products with the microphone/speaker...my case will be obsolete. But that is okay...my goal is to change the cellular industry by making mobile technology less expensive for consumers and advance wi-fi technology from that point on ; )
I know...I get super-excited when I talk about wi-fi and the possibilities ; ) So many companies have these great ideas with wi-fi and no one has thought of collaborating and putting them together, yet : ( My company is small, but that is all I think about. How great would it be to have our cable/internet/phone/mobile phone bill for everyone in our family be something like $20/month...have the security of being connected to our home network...and have lightning fast speed by using several connections together?
I've launched on
Indiegogo hoping to gage the public interest. I've put everything I have in this, and things like that only make me more determined for people to see what is now a viable option to cellular. I'm posting updates/photos of everything as I work toward getting it manufactured so people can have confidence that this is a product that will be made and I hope it will make them want to back my campaign.
I greatly appreciate anyone checking it out so you can decide if it's something you would like to see become a reality ; )
