Apple Tablets delayed ’til 2H 2010, OLED & LCD versions planned?

By Chris Davies on Thursday, Nov 19th 2009 1 Comment

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.

OLED and solar-panel lights promise Earth-friendly simplicity

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Nov 17th 2009 No Comments

By Chris Davies on Friday, Oct 9th 2009 No Comments

Sony may not have made any significant changes to their flexible OLED laptop concept since we saw it first at CES back in January, but the sleek prototype is so alluring that SlashGear Japan couldn’t walk past it at CEATEC this week without grabbing a photo.

By Chris Davies on Monday, Oct 5th 2009 No Comments

UK radio manufacturer Revo have announced their latest model, the DOMINO D3, a DAB/DAB+ digital radio with integrated iPod/iPhone dock and internet radio streaming. The DOMINO D3 also supports Last.fm streaming, and the whole thing has a soft rubber coating that, while stopping short of making it waterproof, at least does make it fetishistically touchable.
