‘Dumb’ players smarten up

A German electrical engineer who helped make MP3 players a reality has turned his attention to making “dumb devices” act smart.

Karlheinz Brandenburg, now a professor at Ilmenau University of Technology in Germany, is backing ‘Perfect Stream’ technology that lets computing power in the internet do the thinking for simple gadgets.

“When I first met these guys it sounded crazy to me,” Brandenburg said.

“But I have a fondness for crazy ideas because when we star-ted MP3 it seemed crazy to everyone as well.”

The idea with Perfect Stream is to have digital video and audio tailored to individual tastes and delivered as a service to essentially any gizmo that can talk to the internet.

Personalised internet stre-ams can flow seamlessly to sophisticated online electr-onics or to “any kind of stupid phone, a $50 phone with a pre-paid plan”, said Perfect Stream advocate Nikolas Samios.
