Cell Phone Powered By ‘Supercomputer’ Demoed

January 31st, 2008 | Category: Gadget News

Accenture’s research labs in Nice, France, Tuesday showed off an application that enables a cell phone to act as a thin client to massive compute power (well, a Windows XP laptop, anyway) essentially transforming it into a CELL PHONE SUPERCOMPUTER. The picture shows part of the demo where the phone’s camera snaps a photo of a cheap print of Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring, and the system recognized the painting, and returned information about it from a database. I want one.
