Android smartphones get Kodak rms software for relatives – Tweakers

If you are older audience, then you should really take the necessary ..

From my work I come regularly to the elderly who, sometimes from their own intrested but often imposed by (younger) a family (occasionally used) Smartphone purchased or received. However, the average senior from about 70 years here with some problems, experience it as an irritation or at least a step backward

The main issues are:

– Battery life. . With their old Nokia dumbphone (if necessary provided with a fresh battery) has a standby time of one week feasible, where you can be pleased with many smart phones with a day, although this generation but little effect on the device is: Occasionally a photo, rainfall alarm or for ladies Wordfeud, that about sums it together apart from calling and a few who reads text messages.

 – Puny. The elderly often suffer from osteoarthritis and the like. With trembling hands and whether or not it is damn sight worse difficult to hit the right buttons. That was on the dumbphone sometimes tricky but on average smartphone one is really wrong with what often used unnoticed two fingers, keep your finger on the screen for too long or wipes when removing the finger across the screen. Everything with them unwanted side-effects. The visibility is often a problem by the average text size. Of course you those scales but the average senior abhorred al l configuration options and if they tie one making it for them then the layout of the system to his granny and it is 200% for most too small.

 – Difficult. Though a bit appointed in the preceding paragraph but the average senior has less easily learn. The changeover from dumbphone to smartphone is a world of difference.

Perhaps the next generation of seniors has, over a year or 10 to 20, less problems with it (as smartphones in their current form uberhaupt still exist) because they started it much earlier but for the present generation with the current range of products rose with us the following advice:

 – Call, just use a dumbphone, if necessary with extra large keys and voice feedback of the act
.
 – Touch screen device, use a large tablet (minimum 9 “) and take there a stylus with good grip, for example, the thickness of a fountain pen
.
 – Place a loader at the bed and make it load the habit at night on the nightstand. Another advantage is that, there are problems were, the phone within reach (or rather is in a dock so that troublesome charging cable also do not need to be gepriegeld it)

If Kodak, or another manufacturer, well agree with these findings – they also make their own because this is pretty universal – the battle would go and really would try to come up with a seniors smartphone, which is really a gap in the market, I think
 And till the time that device there is is an iPhone 6 plus, with a stylus and a loading dock, I think the best option. The reason is the durability (material), size, less complex control and ease of locking / unlocking the device. There are also relatively more accessories available for each specific iPhone model than an average android / windows phone making a suitable dock is found quickly.

 Of course, some aspects are more / less weighty than others and will need to be considered specific for each senior.
