Just what are Apple doing with pico-projectors in their R&D labs? Another patent application from the company has been spotted, this time describing various configurations: Apple reckon you could fit a pico-projector into not only an iPhone or iPod, but into an Airport Express style wireless router, a MacBook or a separate accessory.
In our collective haste to pester Nintendo about the next-gen update to the Wii, we sometimes forget that Microsoft’s Xbox 360 is beginning to look a little long in the tooth too. A new image purported to be of the refreshed Xbox 360’s mainboard has emerged, and most obvious is that Microsoft have put the console on a diet – it’s considerably smaller than the current ‘board in use.

Dolby have announced Dolby Surround 7.1, an 8-channel surround sound audio system that's intended to better support both traditional 2D and newer 3D content. Integral to the new system is the introduction of two new audio zones - Back Surround Left and Back Surround Right - which, in tandem with the existing front two zones, should make for more impressive 360-degree surround effects.
Love the HTC Desire but not feeling the standard brown casing that we’ve seen up until now? Your luck is in: a silver version of the Snapdragon-based Android handset has been spotted over in the Netherlands, where it’s already up for pre-order. Both devices are functionally identical, beyond the brighter casing on the silver model.
T-Mobile USA have finally confirmed pricing and availability for the HTC HD2, the Windows Mobile 6.5.3 smartphone that European users have been taunting their US counterparts with for several months now. The T-Mobile HD2 will arrive on March 24th priced at $199.99 with a new, two-year agreement.
Having been spotted up for sale once before, before being unceremoniously yanked from the virtual shelves a few hours later, Samsung’s 3D-capable Blu ray player, the BD-C6900, is now finally shipping. Announced back in January at CES 2010, the BD-C6900 obviously supports Full HD 1080p content but also includes both wired and WiFi connectivity for streaming media and internet-connected widgets.
A new Lenovo netbook has apparently been spotted in Australian schools, seemingly based on the company’s ThinkPad X100e but with a smaller display. The Lenovo ThinkPad Mini 10 – as it’s said to be labeled – has the same chassis and keyboard of the X100e, but fits in a 10-inch display rather than its sibling’s 11.6-inch panel.
It can’t be all rosy, now can it? Despite the plethora of news coming out of MIX10 yesterday, we were definitely expecting some kind of shade to come over the glowing press the mobile Operating System was getting. Here it is, folks. It looks like Microsoft is not including Copy and Paste into the Windows Phone 7 Series suite of features. We know, we know. This sounds brutally reminiscent of another company’s antics over the past couple years, but let’s not look at it like that.
Have you ever been walking around at night, and wanted to be able to head off into those spooky woods, but realized that you had forgotten your trusty flashlight (or maybe your Squishy Light)? Or, maybe you’re one of those people out there that feels like you’re entitled to headlights, like a car? Whatever the case, sandal company Teva has the answer for you.
Tablets are back in style, no thanks to a little thing called the iPad, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Sure, there’s going to be all sorts of failures out there, but at least we can hope that the majority of these slate-style mini-computers will be worth our time. Take, for example, this 10-inch tablet that Marvell was showing off at the Future of Publishing Summit on Tuesday. It’s running the Android mobile Operating System, which isn’t that big of a surprise, and it’s got a few features that make it seem worthwhile.
