Love it, but wasn't the software tricorder app shut down by CBS on the basis of trademark infringement? How on earth will this project survive that?

- marquis 15y agoGet notoriety, be forced to change name amid flurry of press. Speaking of which, did that other app come back to life?
- bullseye 15y agoThe tricorder app was apparently shut down because CBS claimed it infringed upon their graphical interface, not because of the name itself. The app has since been relaunched. http://code.google.com/p/moonblink/wiki/Tricorder http://code.google.com/p/moonblink/wiki/Tricorder
- TeMPOraL 15y agoWhich is sad, because a Tricorder without LCARS interface is kind of... lacking something.
- ja27 15y agoI can't find it in the market. Looks like it's dead again. I guess all the source code is there. I've missed that app. The LCARS interface was neat but just showing off the sensor capabilities to people, especially kids, was great.
- arkany 15y agoI think he'll be fine. You can quickly rename it with minimal fuss. Kudos to an open source project and possibly using the preexisting science setup for the medical Tricorder XPrize.
- gcb 15y agoannounce the commercial version, quadcorder. And when everyone buys it, announce pentacorder. and when everyone buys it, announce... pentacorderS. and a month later hexacorder? no, pentacorderS white. Because one is born every minute.
