Nokia isn't relying solely on its partnership with Microsoft for its future; the company is also asking armchair pundits to put their inventions where their mouths are. Invent With Nokia is a new initiative inviting suggestions for devices, features and services from the general public. If Nokia can patent it, they'll pay the inventor.

HTC Flyer Review
It’s been a long time since we’ve seen an HTC tablet: the HTC Shift, in fact, all the way back in 2008. Even then the company didn’t play by the normal rules, pairing Windows Vista and Windows Mobile on a single device. Now, it’s the turn of the HTC Flyer to shake things up once more, and the talking point today is whether a slate with a stylus can compete when fingers are in fashion. 7-inch star or ‘droid dud? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.
Google I/O 2011 video now online: Keynotes & Sessions
Google only had a fraction of the capacity at I/O 2011 this past week for developers who wanted to attend, but the company has followed up on its promise to make all the keynotes and sessions available to watch online. Both the first and second day keynotes, and over 30 sessions, are now streaming.

HTC Flyer Unboxing & First Impressions [Video]
Android tablets aren’t exactly in short supply these days. As well as the current big-name Honeycomb slates, like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, Motorola XOOM and ASUS Eee Pad Transformer there’s no shortage of low-cost alternatives and no-brand upstarts. Into the fray wades the HTC Flyer, fresh to store shelves today and managing to differentiate itself by virtue of its Sense interface, 7-inch form-factor and – perhaps most importantly – digital stylus.
MOPHO DJ uses iPhone for digital scratching [Video]
The humble accelerometer shows its worth again, with Stanford University computer music student Nicholas J. Bryan turning an iPhone into a DJ tool that allows analog turntables to control digital music. MOPHO DJ uses the iPhone's accelerometer to track its position on the turntable, picking up a DJ's scratches and transmitting that wirelessly to a nearby computer which processes MP3s in real-time.

Hasbro Android Robot Toys get I/O video playtime
Our new favorite monkey robot, Kibot, may be stuck in Korea, but Hasbro has wider ambitions for its Nexus S powered Robot Toys. On show at Google I/O this week, the Android-bots are basically self-powered motorized cradles into which the Samsung smartphone docks, hooking up via Bluetooth. You can then hold races and use object recognition, just as in the video after the cut.
LG Optimus Big vs Samsung Galaxy S II
Rivalry between Samsung and LG runs strong – the two companies took thinly veiled pot-shots at each other’s neighboring booths during press briefings at the Korea World IT Show today – and so with a brand spanking new LG Optimus Big on hand and a Samsung Galaxy S II in our pocket, it seemed fitting to see how the two uberphones compare. Read on for the first foray in what’s likely to be a lengthy battle royale.
LG Optimus Big hands-on [Video]
The Optimus Big isn’t one of LG’s most inspired names, but it certainly describes the new Android smartphone well. Its 4.3-inch display puts it among the biggest of the current Android crop, and unsurprisingly pits it against longtime rivals Samsung’s well-esteemed Galaxy S II. We grabbed some hands-on time while strutting the halls of the Korea World IT Show today; read on for the full details and some video.
Brain-sensing Necomimi robo cat ears are furry-awesome [Video]
We've seen brainwave-sensing used for mind training games, the judicious application of comedy torture, and attempting to control the nearest robot: now the technology has reached its summit, with cosplay-style wiggling cat ears. The handiwork of Neurowear, the Necomimi straps a couple of motorized furry cat ears to a brainwave-monitoring headband, so that you can wiggle them appropriately.
