iPhones and other gadgets get a charge from bus shelter ads

The next time you're waiting for that bus that is really, really late, there's no need to worry about your iPhone or iPad battery dying. Thanks to a creative ad company and the Vitaminwater brand, bus shelters in several American cities are being equipped with a USB port for charging.

The shelters are currently in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York. Ad agency Crispin Porter + Bogusky, which is sadly the same firm that brought us the Microsoft "I'm a PC" campaign, is using the tag line "Alternative Energy Source" to describe both the Vitaminwater product and the function of the bus shelter plug.

Samsung has had charging kiosks in many airports for several years, so the concept isn't exactly new. But this is the first time that charging has hit the streets, usually the one place that you really need to plug in and charge up. It would be wonderful to see more advertisers providing this type of public service, giving their products and potential customers a plug.

Kootol patent infringement notices targets Twitter-client developers

Apparently not content in letting Lodsys hog all the patent-trolling fun, India-based Kootol Software Limited has decided to send out a number of patent-infringement notices to companies ranging from Apple, Google and Microsoft to Iconfactory, Seesmic and Ubermedia. All of these are drawn off of another patient-infringement notice filed against Twitter and revolve around transmitting messages to others in real time via a subscription feed, which is the basis of Twitter's service.

MacStories' Cody Fink provided a handy link to an in-depth post by FOSS Patents which theorizes why Kootol pulled the move that it did -- mainly to scare companies into paying what is considered to be a poorly funded venture while Kootol's patent application is pending. In any case, Kootol has emerged as a rival to Lodsys as this year's Grinch, but Kootol's ultimate goal appears to be taking on Twitter with everyone else as collateral. We hope Apple will help its developers fend off Kootol just like it's doing with Lodsys.

Review: iRiver Story HD e-reader

Review: iRiver Story HD e-reader The iRiver Story HD design feels rough compared with Barnes & Noble and Kobo e-readers, and the interface needs some work, too. But the emergence of the first Google Books-driven e-reader will surely drive competition among the players in this space, and that can only benefit book lovers.
