Polar USA S625X
It looks like Polar has released a running shoe pod version for sDM over GPS; I have to imagine the quality is excellent.

Already looks like the pod is submersible in water.. It is integrated with bicycle monitoring. It communicates via Infrared – that’s boring; why not bluetooth. Not sure if there is a Mac version of the software… This is interesting – ties in with nokia phone 5140. I just checked it out – great phone. Man, I’m looking into this stuff.

outsourced to India

Posted on May 24, 2005

I learned about a company that sells software to help companies like yours manage offshore outsourced operations. From call centers to engineering firms to accounting firms; they are all doing it. So its not just people answering phones, PhD’s making 30K per year in India do the work. 30K in India is big bucks. International business is where its at. My company is rapidly restructuring to serve China and Asia.

But I believe it will all even out in the end. Inflation will take hold, people in India with money will want things, standards will rise. In 50 years India will look like we did in the 50’s. We will look like Europe does today. In 100 years places like Africa will be labor pools and perhaps we will have a revolution. Its all in the history books. Do what you can to make it today.
