[Story] Haptic Palm, Here I Come
Tony is a 17-year old student. Recently, his dad bought him the newest phone in the Haptic series – Haptic Palm. At first, he was elated at the fact that he now has one of the coolest phones, not aware of how the phone is capable of much more things…
Tuesday, July 25th 2011
Tony woke up in the morning with a usual drowsy feeling. To get started off freshly in the morning, Tony starts stretching, and suddenly realizes that he might be forgetting something. Tony started to get anxious, unable to figure out what he is oblivious of. While Tony was struggling with his brain to recall what is missing, Haptic Palm starts ringing – so Tony picked it up. On the screen it said: JULY 25TH 2011 1PM ‘MEETING JAMES AT COEX’.
Palm Schedule:
One of the major functions in Haptic Palm is the advanced scheduling program ‘palm scheduling.’ Although most of the contemporary phones are released with the ‘calendar’ function that reminds people of whatever they save, this program is different. First of all, it is very easy to use. The contemporary calendar function is useful, but it is neglected because it is rather complicated and appeals as a ‘not-worth-the-time’ function. Haptic Palm enables people to go directly to ‘palm pad’ where they can access the ‘schedule pad.’ There, they can easily ‘write’ whatever they want to save and set the date on which they are to be reminded with an alarm. This way, people will be able to trust their phones in keeping promises and due dates.
After finding out that he has an arrangement with his friend James, he sets off to coex – where he promised to meet James. At his doorstep, Tony looks up, only to be greeted by a cloudy sky. Then, Tony takes out his Haptic Palm and accesses the ‘weather’ menu.
Palm Weather:
Weather forecast exists in forms of widgets in some phones, but right now, it is too weak to be supplied to everyone in every phone. Haptic Palm contains the weather function as a default function with only the most necessary information (Weather of today, the week, the temperature etc.). This way, people can still be informed even if they miss the news the evening before.
Tony finds out that it is likely to rain that afternoon, so he takes an umbrella; and what do you know, it starts raining! When other people are busy running to avoid the rain, Tony could stroll lightly under his umbrella.
By the time he gets to COEX, James meets Tony all wet. James asks, ‘dude, how did you know it was going to rain today?’ Tony just smiled and pulled Haptic Palm out of his pocket.
