The Third World has had an explosive growth in mobile phones. The mobile phone technology has meant a leap in so far as the developing countries has not had to go via landline phones to create a telecommunications system. However, it is not without problems. The most difficult is probably access to electrical power to charge phones and to power base stations. In many places where there is no, and probably never will be, a power grid people are left with diesel generators, with all the problems they bring. A better solution would be to use solar power, a commodity that's abundant in most of the parts of the world that need it. Motorola has sensed this, and are now testing placement of charging kiosks where you can charge your cellphone for free. If there's only Motorola chargers availabl
I love the Kioskcom tradeshow every year because I always get to see the next big thing in self service kiosks. This year, there seems to be a big shift from cash payments to credit cards as more and more booths show kiosks with credit card readers instead of cash dispensers. I know [...]

I'm currently down in Florida - getting here was a nightmare. After missing two flights (neither my fault) I could rant for hours about the inefficiencies of airports. There is definitely big money to be made by someone who can reengineer the whole security/check-in process. Alas, I am not that smart.
As I sat on the runway watching people de-ice my plane (read: long delay), my stomach started going crazy. I had traveled via train, cab and foot to make it to the airport. I had left my apartment at 7am and it was now 2:30pm. I had run all over the terminal, argued at multiple ticket counters and wasted $7.95 on a crappy internet connection. I forgot my toothbrush. I was amped. But now, sitting on the runway with my endorphins in check, hunger was catching up to me. Unfortunately all I had to look forward to was a bag of peanuts and a cup of juice. Furthermore, I would have loved to watch a DVD, but I had also forgotten to pack one of those.
The Idea: Someone should set up a nifty lit

They do not envisage increasing sales of package holidays, more last minute breaks and DIY holidays.
Would you be attracted to browse at one of the kiosks if you noticed one whilst in a shopping centre?
