By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Sep 15th 2009 No Comments

It comes as no great surprise, given our unboxing video and hands-on with the new PMP is already live, but Microsoft have officially announced the Zune HD. As well as reconfirming the specs we’ve already heard – NVIDIA Tegra processor, 720p HD playback, OLED multitouch touchscreen and either 16GB or 32GB of storage – Microsoft have also revealed that yes, the Zune HD will play 3D games such as Project Gotham Racing: Ferrari Edition and Audiosurf Tilt together with getting Twitter and Facebook clients later in 2009.

Nokia Erdos luxury OLED slider tipped for October [Video]

By Chris Davies on Monday, Sep 14th 2009 No Comments

Nokia’s high-end 8800-series handsets have been in need of a new poster-model for some time, and according to the latest leaks that might just be the new Erdos. The Nokia Erdos is a compact slider with a 2.4-inch 320 x 240 OLED display, 3G WCDMA, WiFi, A-GPS and a 5-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss autofocus optics and dual LED flash.

However what makes the S60 Erdos special is that all of that is packed into a compact, stainless steel casing that’s apparently carved from a single block of metal. The OLED display is covered by a mirror-finish glass panel that’s only transparent when the display is active.

OLED inkjet printing tech promises cheaper, larger displays

By Chris Davies on Friday, Sep 11th 2009 No Comments

oled OLED is still the bouncing, potential-filled baby of the display tech world, but manufacturing costs mean it’s still taking its time to replace LCD and plasma in our living rooms. Startup Kateeva reckon they can change all that, using inkjet printer technology combined with proprietary inks and drying systems to produce large-scale OLED displays that will eventually cost, the company predict, 70-percent of an equivalently-sized LCD panel.

Samsung Plans for OLED Laptops by Year-End 2010

By Evan Selleck on Friday, Sep 4th 2009 1 Comment

Samsung is a fan of OLED. We’re seeing it more and more in their manufactured phones, and no one is arguing that it’s the best way to view anything of any kind of importance. And now it looks like Samsung plans to see OLED in the next best thing: laptops. It’s a great idea, and one that we hope to actually bear into fruition. Especially if it hits mainstream, so that way it doesn’t hit everyone’s wallets too much.

By Evan Selleck on Monday, Aug 31st 2009 2 Comments

On Sunday, LG announced that they are going ahead and releasing their previously planned 15-inch AMOLED television, and sooner than we could have hoped. If September wasn't big enough already, LG wants to wiggle in and make sure that you get to watch "your Zune HD" via a great looking, and brilliant display. But, are our wallets ready for another OLED tv? If LG can officially ship this thing, then we'd like to hope so.

Sony’s OLED TVs Could Be MIA Until 2010

By Evan Selleck on Monday, Aug 17th 2009 No Comments

Sony is known to get overly excited about their products, but that shouldn’t be surprising. If you can’t be excited about your own products, you probably shouldn’t waste the consumer’s time. But when it comes to their projections for their OLED televisions, executives may have been a bit over their head when they projected the future sets would be symbols of the company’s technological comeback. A recent report says that Sony is setting the plans for a 2010 launch, and that may be exactly what they need.

Liquid-OLED displays could allow non-standard shapes & longer lifespans

By Chris Davies on Monday, Aug 17th 2009 No Comments

Alright, as images go this one isn’t the most eye-catching we admit, but the technology it’s explaining is far more exciting. Researchers in Japan have developed what they’re calling a Liquid-OLED, and just like the gooey fruit-flavored chocolates your mother loves it has a liquid center rather than the traditional solid-state one you’d find in traditional OLEDs. The benefit, they claim, is that Liquid-OLED displays could be more easily curved, and even refilled should the organic layer degrade over time.

The Apple tablet has been a thing of rumors for a long time now. Whether that’s because everyone wants one, just wants to look at it, or because it’s Apple-related, doesn’t change the fact that at this point in time, the rumors are looking to be more and more like unofficial leaks.

Microsoft have officially announced the Zune HD for pre-orders, with the OLED touchscreen PMP set to land in pockets on September 15th.
