Today, The Tech Report have published a look at how these powerful new ISPs will change the mobile market. The Spectra Module Program has been created to offer the a complete package to hardware developers instead of having them create the software themselves and customize the hardware for that software. Drop by to take a look at the various sensor packages Qualcomm will be offering right here.

I trust that ARM “Trust Zone”
I trust that ARM “Trust Zone” about as much as I trust the average Dung Beetle to intentionally avoid a steamimg pile of fresh elephent dung. And Smart Phones need to come standard with Lens Caps and hardware based disable switches! It’s bad enough that that ROBOVAC’s of the world have this kinds of scanning technology to map out peoples’ houses and share such information without consent. And that phone sensor technology does it’s same work just as well in the dark on that IR channel. Of more worry about any IR scanning ability, is the see through the walls implications with that sensor IP looking at my key strokes as I Type so maybe an IR proof wallpaper will need to be installed to protect privacy.
This new Technology for scanning is not just in the relm of the Tin-Foil Hats folks to worry about, as similar IR basd scanning IP has been demonstrated seeing through walls to create some damn detailed images of the other side. Do yoe realy want to see the results of this technology so easily accessable to everybody and their dog!
