Apple tablet

More and more news pop up as we approach to January 27th - the day of big Apple event that will bring in the world some official information on Apple tablet, widely known as iSlate, announcement of iPhone 4G and iPhone OS 4.0, plus new Mac OS X version. That said, we will now try to bind in some of the freshest leaks on basically all four products.

A trustful source close to Apple insiders stated recently that the tablet (model number K48AP) is going to be powered by an ARM architecture based processor, will be the first to feature Apple's latest touchscreen navigation technology and will be a hyperbolized iPhone overall.

That brings up the question whether the tablet is derived from iPhone 3GS or plausibly shares the same platform with iPhone 4G. As we know, iPhone 4G will be nothing like the current version considering hardware and software. UI, I am sure, will stay pretty close to what we have now and that's a good thing since iPhone is so popular for being extremely user friendly. Given that, I think Apple shall develop an iPhone OS 4.0-like operating system for the tablet rather than Mac OS X-like. However, some say that OS X update has been hold off because of some tablet-related bits here and there. Well, two weeks of waiting is what left.

Hasbro’s New RC Flying Millennium Falcon

Hasbro’s remote-controlled flying Millennium Falcon is one of those items that, if you didn’t see the photo, you’d have to ask, “What do they mean, flying? As you can see, however, Hasbro
designers had the inspired idea to replace the saucer-shaped hull of the Falcon with a propeller to make it fly, although at a speed a few points behind lightspeed. Here’s Hasbro’s catalog copy for the RC Falcon, which will retail for about $49.99 this fall

HTC HD Mini Runs Windows Mobile 6.5.3

One phone that didn't get leaked to death before the announcement was HTC's HD Mini. After yesterday's WinPho7 launch, Windows Mobile 6.5.3 may seem tired, but the hardware on this industrial wonder is anything but.

I mentioned the word "industrial," which is possibly the best word I can think of it. If the Legend is the sexy younger sister, and the Desire is the brainy older sister, then the HD Mini is the younger emo brother. With visible screws on each corner of the back, it's rugged, hard and very manly, almost giving the Droid a run for its money. It may not be powered by Android, but I still think this phone is worth your attention—at least, until Windows Phone Series 7 launches
Specs-wise, the 3.2-inch capacitive HVGA screen has 320 X 480 pixels, a 600Mhz processor has been used, and RAM and ROM are at 384MB and 512MB respectively. The camera is the typical 5.0-megapixel autofocus/flash affair, and Bluetooth, GPS and Wi-Fi are included—you can actually turn the phone into a Wi-Fi hotspot, like with the HD2.

Slicked over Windows Mobile is HTC Sense, which makes it bearable, but with Windows Phone 7 Series just around the corner, the HD Mini may just find it's the slightly-emo stepchild.

Brick Lamp Takes Apple Minimalism

You think that your MacBook embodies the essence of simplicity because of it was painstakingly machined from a single slab of aluminum? Well, the Brick Lamp by HC Wang is pretty much just that slab of aluminum.

The Brick Lamp's controls couldn't be simpler. You want light? Place the lamp on one of its edges. You want dark? Place the lamp on its back.

Of course, while HC Wang may be on to something here, I'm pretty sure that I can take the design to the next level. How?

Panasonic and Sanyo create new storage battery

That is great to be totally undependable from traditional energy sources, but unfortunately for a while it is a questionable matter, though slowly we are moving forward. Desire to get rid
of traditional fuels that cause undesired consequences is pushing this field of science forward.

Army of scientists work in order to get the highest outcome from natural renewable resources as sunlight, wind, rain, geothermal heat, tides etc. Share of energy that is obtained this way is in constant growth. Most of renewable energy technologies are powered by the sun. But even sun energy is not continuously accessible. That is why the problem is how to have a storage of saved energy always available is so actual.

Panasonic together with Sanyo brought to the light some plans how to fix this problem. They plan together to create and to supply in nearest two years lithium-ion cell battery with storage capacity that allows supply with power whole house for a week long (probably they mean Japanese home). They plan that this battery will come with mechanism that will allow to monitor how much electricity is used by transferring of the corresponding data on their TV.

Though many sources are in doubts about such possibility until 2012, we keep our hopes high. Many times we witnessed how impossible from first glance things, were brilliantly executed. This is a noble mission and Panasonic and Sanyo are not going to capitulate.

NVIDIA Optimus technolog

Intriguing news from NVIDIA have appeared on their blog today. The brief announcement says NVIDIA is putting final touches on a mysterious Optimus technology. The manufacturers
themselves say NVIDIA Optimus is notebook-orientated and works with platforms that carry an onboard NVIDIA graphic processor.

NVIDIA Optimus technology will debut at CES 2010 and will be released in a short while afterwards in Q1. Optimus is designed to improve graphic experience on notebook platforms whilst keeping power management efficient. That is very pleasant to hear, but what was not yet pronounced by NVIDIA is the actual architecture of Optimus. The first thing that comes to my mind is making use of the latest Intel Atom Pineview processor, probably implementing it on top of the Ion platform. I'm really afraid to make suggestions here as Optimus could really be something completely new.
