Anyone come across any articles covering all the things you can do with a phone these days?
Making up some training and while I think I know most of it - it's always good to get outside info.

Any extreme examples? Like - browse your home movie collection on your phone, pick one which then plays on the TV - your lights dim, personal phone assistant handles your calls, doorbell turns off etc

As far as browsing your home movies that's easy with a Synology NAS and their DS Video app. Integrates with airplay and chromecast too so you can send it to a big display in a hotel room for example in some of the posh hotels that now have airplay streaming.

The lights dimming and things like that I do with a mood on my lightwave which again runs from an app on the phone. I don't have a doorbell though and no home phone to silence.

A slightly unusual one that I like is [url= http://www.azumio.com/apps/heart-rate/ ]the ability to accurately measure your heart rate just by placing your finger over the camera lens[/url].

It works by watching your skin change colour as the blood pulses through it.
