More information about what we might expect from the PS3 has been revealed as well, from the VP of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. It appears we should expect motion detection and facial recognition technology to be a part of the PS3, which in turn should make for a lot of interesting applications, interfaces and last but […]

This is a cool retro version of a blog I haven’t been reading enough (it seems): Gizmodo 1983 – turn back the time 20 years and be impressed by the “new” gadgets. Not all too original, Wired has run something simular – but it sure is a lot of fun remembering the former cool gadgets, and see how far we have come in 20 years.

E Ink, Philips show paper-like display Philips and E Ink have unveiled a new paper-like display prorotype at the Society for Information Display (SID) show, boasting higher resolution than anything seen before. […] The display features a resolution at 160 pixels per inch (ppi), which is significantly higher than anything demonstrated previously. Enabled by continued improvement in E Ink’s electronic ink display material and Philips’ custom designed thin-film-transistor (TFT) backplane and driver electronics, the new displays are a result of

This is a technology that many different companies have been working on for quite some time now. And now, according to some press photos and a VERY brief “press release” on Siemens AG’s web site, it seems like it might be just around the corner: Siemens AG – Siemens Innovations Paperlike Display One application of the “paperlike display” seems to have be given the name epyrus, but it is quite impossible to find any more information anywhere about the unit.

I sometimes write about gadgets that are cool. Quite a few of them is in the making, and it seems to be a trend to launch information about them, sites and even ordering – loooong before they ever ship. Which often makes us have to suffer the long wait and anticipation until they are released. One such gadget is the Neuros MP3 Digital Audio Computer, its a neat concept. A radio, radio transmitter, MP3 (and hopefully Ogg Vorbis) player, it has mic and line in, the ability to record from

c|net writes about a deal that puts Rambus in future PlayStation From the looks of it, the Playstation 3 will be extremely powerful, at least compared to todays game consoles. I have posted rumors about PS 3 earlier.

This is a neat gadget – the SDCam is a camera for Pocket PCs with SD I/O ports. The camera is korean, and the pages are all in Korean, so if someone has a translation of the information posted on the page, I would be very happy to get it :-) The basic info about the camera is: It has a CMOS image capture chip (which should make it cheap to produce), and it can take pictures in 800×600, 640×480 and many other lower res modes. It has 2x and

Pretty perverted, huh? The F.A.Porsche designed monitor from Samsung can be made to turn over on the side and let me browse the web at 1028×1280 – or work in Flash for example. :-) I think that is going to become my favorite position for it ;-) Here’s some pictures just to give you some insight into how my world looks like when browsing the web and working different applications right now:

This is cool, I’ll get it installed on my iPaq as soon as I have the time – PocketPalm from the swedish company Kodeness is out in an early alpha version (don’t expect too much), and will let you run Palm OS programs on your Pocket PC device. PocketPalm promises to give me the best of both worlds on my iPaq, I can’t wait to try it out :-) [Via PocketPcHow2]
