The perennial Apple Tablet rumor gets another kink in the tale today, with gossip-gluttons DigiTimes reporting that the company has pushed back the predicted early-2010 launch – which they peg as March – into the second half of the year. They’re also quoting component manufacturers who tip not one but two Apple Tablets with similarly sized displays: a 10.6-inch LCD TFT and a 9.7-inch OLED version, the latter likely being supplied by LG Display as part of their ongoing five-year $500m panel deal.

Looks like Dell’s SX2200T won’t have the whole multitouch monitor playground to itself. HP have announced a new, Windows 7 compatible touchscreen display, the HP Compaq L2105tm, a Full HD 1920 x 1080 LCD with an optical touchscreen supporting one- and two-finger control.

Sony stage BRAVIA/PS3 crash test in bizarre promo [Video]

By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Oct 21st 2009 No Comments

I’d love to have been a fly on the wall at Sony Australia when they came up with this one. ”Guys, it’s a worldwide recession, we need a promotion to keep people buying the PS3 and BRAVIA HDTVs. I know some of you want to run a competition and give the darned things away, but I think we’d be far better off firing one against the other and sticking it up on YouTube.” Hence how we end up with a video of a PS3 being launched at 22 meters per second toward a poor, defenceless flat-panel TV.

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Oct 20th 2009 2 Comments

We’re ramping up to what looks like the launch of the Barnes and Noble Nook – in fact our own Vincent Nguyen is in New York today for the company’s press event – and as you’d expect the ebook geeks aren’t content to take the news when B&N feed it to them. After the WSJ broke the news that the upcoming dual-display device will be, bafflingly, called Nook, our friend (and general malcontent) Mike Cane dug up the company’s trademark application.
