2012 – San Francisco…
Vitoto was a failure.
It feels good to say that. There has been an air of uncertainty around the state of the company for the last few weeks, its nice to make a decision.
Firstly, I am proud of myself for taking the shot.

To search on iOS 7 you need swipe down from the middle of the screen anywhere in the phone to bring up search.
NOTE: This will not work if you are in an app that uses scroll such as Safari or Mail.
Here is an example:
So you already know that you can turn your iPhone into a hotspot, but a PUBLIC one? that anyone can use?
Here is the idea.
Its an app that allows you to create a public hotspot that anyone can access with NO password. But for the user to access the hotspot, they need to watch a 10 second video advertisement.
Video ads pay anywhere form $30-80 CPM (cost per thousand impressions).
The app provider can organize rev share with its users, so that they get a percentage of the advertisement revenue (say 50/50).
This could be a great additional revenue stream for cab or bus drivers, or just a great way to offset your phone bill costs.
We just released an update to Vitoto which includes the ability to edit your videos, its bad ass.

Or on the iTunes App Store.
iPhone battery life is a huge problem that I hear people all around the world bitch about.
Here are my ideas to solve it:
1. Put a solar panel on the back of the phone. This will give you the ability to charge anywhere there is light.
2. Implement kinetic and heat inductors. This will be the phone charges when it moves and when its in your pocket.
3. Have lock screen access to turn off and on the biggest battery drainers. Including 3g/4g/LTE/WiFi.
