With the recent announcement of the Motorola Xoom tablet running honeycomb featuring a hardware barometer, the tech bloggers were surprised to hear the addition of the barometer.
A barometer predicts the weather. Remember those things your grandparents used to have in their hall way or living room? Well, they have never really been brought into the consumer digital age. With a barometer being built into internet connected devices, Google may create Google weather - a hyper local weather forecast platform. Imagine this: a frequently updated weather forecast specifically for your location down to the nearest meter, even if you don’t have a barometer enabled device.
Crazy, right?
