Name change -- pasffypl to USiT

Our mind changes quickly. Before the product is even out of the door, we are going to rename it. The name and it's meaning are now illustrated here:

USiT [use-it, U-See-it-takes]

- noun, verb.


1 : You see it, and it takes (pix).

2 : U Takes & it Sends

3 : U SiT for a while after taking the picture. No more burning midnight oil to download photos after a hard day of fun.

4 : Unlimited Storage in There (somewhere on the Internet)

5 : U Submit IT as a story about a picture is worth a thousand words.

6 : USe iTs strength (camera phone to capture the moment and desk/laptop computer to write stories).

Making up stuff

The mission for a club is usually to make up stuff for fun or other purposes.  As the first order of things for this "technology" club, we decided to make up a product and then make up a name for it.

The product to be made is a phone application that is capable of taking pictures with a phone camera, tag the photo with latitude and longitude (the fancy name is GPS positions) and then send to an easily accessible place on the internet.  Afterwards, one can download photos first and then store at photo sharing web sites, or directly get published by media web sites who are fans of RSS feed and content sharing.  

As far as making up product name goes, the first name made up was "pasffypl", which stood for "point and shoot first, find your photos later".  The word "pasffypl" sounded German or Dutch, but it is actually in real authentic English.  It was influenced by the name "Haagen-dazs", which had no real meaning in any language.  Pasffypl at least meant something in English.

Some people might ask, "a name that means nothing? what will that product do"?  The product might turn out to be a product that does nothing, with a name that means nothing.  What a great combination?  People love that stuff.

More like a phone club

At this juncture of the technology development, our focus is on different kinds of phone. There used to be many desktop and laptop computers around us, but as laptop and phone got more and more powerful, laptops are replacing desktops, and phones are taking over some of the business functions for on-the-go professionals. But wait, they are certain things get done on smart phones today that couldn't even be done by laptop computers before.

iPhone and all the phones came afterwards trying to call themselves "the next iPhone killer", all have an accelerometer, a touch screen and a camera. These are the hardware that triggered the formation of this club and that's where the story begins as they say. . .
