Apple eyeing sunlight-visible iPad displays in new patent app
Apple has filed for a patent that would use a new, circular polarizing film to both improve outdoor visibility of devices like the iPad and iPhone, as well as allow those wearing polarized sunglasses to better see the screen. A so-called "retardation film" would convert the linearly polarized light from an LCD display into circularly polarized light and thus reduce distortion. The system could allow Apple to make a future iPad - or iPad case - that can be used in direct sunlight like an e-paper ereader, but still taking advantage of the video-capable benefits of traditional LCD.

iPad 3 AMOLED plans led Apple COO Tim Cook to Samsung meet?
Samsung Mobile and Apple may be at each others' throats in the courtroom right now, over allegations that the Galaxy range of phones and tablets too closely mimic the iPhone and iPad, but relations between other Samsung divisions and Apple are reportedly going from strength to strength.

Our Gigantic Aire LED Black Monitor Contest WINNER!
I have a story to tell you about this monitor. It involves the end of the world, what that ended up being, and how we forged the wilderness for you to have this monitor, oh you winner. It all happened about a week ago when the tides were coming in, our hair was feeling crunchy, and it was time to wake up from a 30 minute binge sleep (the longest any of us are allowed to keep our eyes closed, of course.) We woke up, and there it was, a big hole in the wall where the monitor should be – avast! Said we, pirates on the loose! Therefor we had to take action. This is not a choose your own adventure but it DOES have one happy ending – continue on, crime stoppers!

Fitting an active digitizer obviously increases bulk and, more importantly, cost - a tricky proposition if some people may never actually bother buying the pen. All that could change with the advent of Hanvon's Dual-Touch ERT Technology, however,

E Ink snowboard with giant nose display surfaces at SID 2011
The E Ink display is a very cool bit of tech. The displays are easy to read in direct sunlight and they need little power to operate. Over the years since the E Ink screen debut, they have found their way into all sorts of devices from eReaders to watches with lots of stuff in between. At SID 2011, a new use for an E Ink screen surfaced and it is a first. The large screen you see there is on the nose of a snowboard. I hope it's rugged.
