In a world where convenience rules our lives, the iPhone continues to surprise.  I have seen alot of great applications developed for the iPhone including blood glucose testing and wireless air phone applications.  Now the trendy development portal of the iPhone comes home security.  Even though other wireless devices can utilize Schlage’s LiNK application it is the cool factor that come into play here.

The iPhone software is a free application following the $299.00 purchase from Schlage plus a $13.00 monthly usage fee. The starter kit includes a deadbolt lock, a network communications bridge, and a module for remotely controlling a lamp or appliance. The bridge connects to the home’s existing router and transmits data via low-power radio signals to the LiNK System lock.

Advantages to Homeowners include email notifications when someone opens the lock by entering a code on the lock’s keypad and the ability to track temporary entry codes provided to cleaning services or painters. All information is stored for a 90 day period then purged.

The bridge communicating using the X-Wave Technology connect’s to the home’s existing router and transmits data via low-power radio signals to the LiNK System lock. Schlage LiNK provides fully encrypted communication between the lock and the user (similar to the security used in on-line banking) your access and online information is safe and secure.

It rages me! How about you? Comment on your Rage.

“According to this article new high and low end iPhone models are coming dependent  upon a consumer’s geographic area.  I do not completely agree with strategies regarding multiple models.  It would seem the overall success of the current iPhone model justifies a single hardware release with additional feature activation via application add-on.  Better video support, Wi-Fi and camera are basic features that should be standard to all iPhones in a mediary pricing rage.  Especially phone upgrades.  I agree with certain geographic locations receiving the “low” end model based on an areas network infrastructure but standard features are standard features.  I would want all hardware features with application add-on.  This newly announced strategy should be interesting to follow.”

An equity research firm is predicting that Apple will shortly introduce two new iPhone models, tailored for different geographic markets.

That’s a somewhat different perspective from others who have predicted that the recent preview of the iPhone 3.0 operating system indicates that a new high-end model will be unveiled about mid-year. Instead, Daniel Amir, semiconductors analyst with Lazard Capital Markets, says in his report that a high-end phone will be sold in North America and a low-end model in several fast-growing overseas markets, such as Brazil, China, India and Russia.

The LCM analysis was picked up by AppleInsider’s Katie Marsal.

The North American model will have video support, a better digital camera and 32GB of memory. The low-end version will lack video support, and possibly lack a Wi-Fi radio, and have less storage.

There’s been speculation recently that several hardware IDs found in the 3.0 software beta hint at multiple new OS X-based mobile devices, including new models of iPhone, iPod Touch, and possibly entirely new products.

In the report cited by AppleInsider, LCM’s Amir says iPhone shipments are much stronger than expected so far in 2009 and will continue so. He writes that first calendar quarter shipments could reach 4 million units, in part because of an exceptionally strong March, possibly reaching 1.5 million units. While analysts had been expected quarterly shipments to reach 3 million to 3.5 million, Amir is predicting 3.8 million to 4 million.

And he thinks that number could nearly double in the second quarter, though AppleInsider’s Marsal noted the pace might not be sustained if buyers expect a mid-year release of a new model, and postpone buying the current iPhone 3G.

The 3.0 OS release, due out this summer according to Apple, will offer more than 100 changes, and over 1,000 new APIs available to iPhone software developers. Among the base OS changes are support for copy/paste, and for being able to tether a laptop to the iPhone and use the phone to access the Internet. (Watch videos of iPhone apps of the week.)
