12 Nov 09 Optoma Concept Projector and Screen
This one device is under construction by Optoma, but it essentially uses a pico projector with compact screen to create a new type of display. I am going to assume that all the hardware folds up in this bag, and it is easily portable.
Of course, the projector would have to be directly pointed at the screen, right? I am assuming that the user cannot block that, so this device couldn’t be used like a laptop. I suppose that this could work for presentations, in rooms where there isn’t a screen, maybe.
Since this is still concept, we don’t have a release date or price as yet.

12 Nov 09 Can the Casio EX-FS10 improve your golf game?
As you can see in the photo above, the golfer’s caddy is holding the camera to look at the angles of the golfer’s swing posture. I’m guessing the red line is the angle of swing, and the blue line is the direction where the ball will go.
I imagine that this feature was developed to market to the golfing crowd, and maybe it will work. There is no word of price or availability as yet, though.

12 Nov 09 Looks like Readius will be released after all
We recently reported that the Readius may receive a second chance since Polymer Vision went bankrupt, and it looks like it will come to pass.
Wistron is apparently planning to release a flexible e-paper display that is similar to the Readius sometime in 2010. We don’t know the exact date, and we also don’t know whether this e-paper device will feature the Bluetooth, tri-band GSM/EDGE, dual-band HSDPA, microSD expansion and SMS capabilties of the original plan for the Readius. We shall see.

12 Nov 09 Fujitsu F-04B separting phone with pico-projector
One of the many phones that NTT Docomo is releasing this winter is the Fujitsu F-04B Separate Kentai, a phone that has the unique ability to split its keyboard from its display. The keyboard and display are synced wirelessly via Bluetooth, and I can imagine that will come in handy for all sorts of applications.
I have recently learned that the user can also attach a 854 x 480 projector in place of a keyboard. So, a detachable keyboard and a pico projector? What could be better? How about a 12.2 megapixel camera?
There is no word of price or availability, but it will probably be a Japan-only release.

12 Nov 09 Chumby One on sale today
I’m sure that you have at least heard of the Chumby, a mobile internet device that can be used as a digital picture frame and Internet radio player. You will be pleased to know that its sequel, the Chumby One, has been released today.
The major differences between the two models is that the Chumby One has a faster CPU, more memory for storage, as well as an FM Tuner. Also, the shape is a little more sharper and business-like, rather than the cush exterior of the original Chumby. In fact, the Chumby One looks like it was made by Apple. Anyway, you should be able to get the Chumby One for $99, which is half the price of the original Chumby.
Yes, I know the number after it doesn’t make much sense. Shouldn’t the follow-up be called the Chumby Two?

12 Nov 09 TomTom iPhone app to get an update
TomTom has recently updated their iPhone app, and has made some welcome changes.
They have finally added text-to-speech (which is usually a staple amongst GPS devices) as well as graphic lane guidance (the feature that gives the user a display of highway intersections). There is also a help menu that offers a shortcut to emergency numbers and directions to the nearest emergency services. The update also includes a free map update and even a safety camera database update. Yes, the user will be able to receive a warning when approaching speed limit cams.
According to my source, this update is pending approval. It will be free for those who already have the TomTom app, but it will cost everybody else about $99.

12 Nov 09 Facebook Can Now be Used as Alibi in Court
I definitely wasn’t expecting to come across this particular story but it seems that Facebook, and probably other social networking sites, can prove to be very useful in court. A 19-year old kid was arrested on October 18 as he was a suspect in two crimes. His smart defense lawyer cleared him in court as it looks like the young man in question was updating his Facebook status exactly at the time the crimes in question were committed. “Where’s my pancakes?” is the status that he entered from his father’s apartment at the time of the alleged crimes.
Sure you’ll say that the alibi could have been manufactured but that’s less likely to have happened. Here’s what the defense lawyer said when someone implied that the Facebook update could have been entered by anyone having access to the defendant account:
This implies a level of criminal genius that you would not expect from a young boy like this; he is not Dr. Evil.
Will we see Facebook and other social networking sites used as alibis in the future?

12 Nov 09 Windows Mobile Marketplace Offers Non-Mobile App Store Too
Those of you still playing with a Windows Mobile handset will be happy to know that Microsoft has decided to upgrade its Windows Mobile Marketplace. Starting today the store can be accessed from any browser not only from your mobile browser.
Other updates include enhanced security and anti-piracy measures not that we care too much about those. But the fact that the Marketplace can now be accessible from any browser and that apps can be downloaded a lot easier straight on your PC right now is definitely great news. Here’s what the official blog had to say about the new Marketplace:
While we’ve heard great feedback on the Marketplace experience on Windows phones, sometimes people just want the benefits of a shopping on a PC. Starting today, Windows phone customers can browse, buy and download applications online at the Windows Marketplace for Mobile site. The selected applications are delivered wirelessly to the customer’s Windows phone and install the next time the Windows Marketplace client runs on the device. This creates another way for customers to easily find and purchase applications and gives developers a whole new level of exposure.
How would you describe your Marketplace experience so far?

12 Nov 09 Palm Pixi Available Already in Walmart Stores?
The Pixi is supposed to be official this Sunday but it looks like the phone has already been spotted at certain Walmart locations. The Pixi is reported to have a $400 price tag at certain stores in Tennessee although that hasn’t been confirmed yet. In fact the Pixi hasn’t been spotted in Walmart’s system yet which means the phone is not available for purchase yet.
Will the Pixi be a hit phone or will it have to stay in the shadows of other smartphones like the Droid this winter? Will you buy a Pixi in the near future?
