In one of the next episodes of FutureWeapons, we might just have this new 'weapon' featured. This is the latest weapon that each US military soldier will carry with them. The latest 21st century state of the art weapon.
Yes, Apple Iphone is the latest addition to the US Military arsenal. Each soldiers will be equipped with an Iphone or Ipod Touch.
Newsweek has an article about the latest weapons in the US military's arsenal. The iPod Touch and the iPhone are being adapted as general purpose handhelds for soldiers in the field. 'Apple gadgets are proving to be surprisingly versatile. Software developers and the US Department of Defense are developing military software for iPods that enables soldiers to display aerial video from drones and have teleconferences with intelligence agents halfway across the globe. Snipers in Iraq and Afghanistan now use a "ballistics calculator" called BulletFlight, made by the Florida firm Knight's Armament for the iPod Touch and iPhone. Army researchers are developing applications to turn an iPod into a remote control for a bomb-disposal robot (tilting the iPod steers the robot). In Sudan, American military observers are using iPods to learn the appropriate etiquette for interacting with tribal leaders.
Talking about Iphone, it reminds me of these images created by Iphone haters
"So the only difference that Iphone and a brick has is the touchscreen?"
"Where can I buy that?"
Still need an Iphone? Get it here.
Want to make a 3G call using the Iphone 3G? Here's how
