Self driving smartphone controlled baby stroller is on its way

As self-driving cars become a reality, similar technology is being used to create the ultimate smart baby stroller.

Powered by an electric motor, the Smartbe “intelligent stroller” will spare parents the tiring chore of pushing the pram. Instead they will be able to go “hands free”.

It is being promoted by a start-up company in New York City where it could prove to be the ultimate Manhattan status symbol.

Thanks to built in motion-tracking sensors the stroller not only dodges obstacles but stays close to the parent at all times.

Should the user start walking backwards, the stroller goes into reverse. If a parent stops, so does the pram.

The motor means the stroller is far easier to push uphill. It can also be used to help cart heavy shopping.

Not only does the stroller drive itself, but it is packed with other technology for labour-saving parenting.

From a choice of canopies to a built-in baby rocker, the stroller does pretty much everything. It controls the temperature, warms bottles and even plays a lullaby.

The stroller, which is also fitted with an alarm if somebody tries to kidnap the occupant, does not come cheap.

When it is put on sale at some point next year, the top of the range model will cost S3,000 (£2,250).

Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro allegedly in the making: a high-end, extra-large smartphone?

Samsung is reportedly working on a new extra-large smartphone which, according to Sam Mobile, might be called Galaxy A9 Pro (though its final name could change).

While there are no details on the features of this alleged A9 Pro, the device (model number SM-A9100) will likely be an enhanced version of the Galaxy A9, which was released by Samsung earlier this month. 

The regular Galaxy A9 (model number SM-A9000) sports a 6-inch, 1080 x 1920 pixels display, and is powered by an octa-core Snapdragon 652 processor, so maybe the A9 Pro will come with a higher pixel resolution (1440 x 2560 pixels would look great on a 6-inch screen), plus a high-end processor. The Galaxy A9 Pro may also run Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box - unlike the A9, which currently runs Android Lollipop (though it will, most probably, be updated to Marshmallow at some point). 

Right now, Samsung is officially selling the Galaxy A9 - pictured above - only in China (for around $490), and Sam Mobile has it that the A9 Pro is also headed there. Of course, this doesnt necessarily mean that the upcoming handset wont be released in other parts of the world. Well let you know more about the Galaxy A9 Pro as soon as new details are available.
