Now a days, a stand alone videophone would seem like a waste of money considering you can’t do anything with it besides make video calls. However, 20-30 years ago, such a device would be the most amazing thing ever. Well, it seems that ASUS is a bit late as they have recently shown off the above AiGuru SV1T videophone for use with Skype.

Honestly though, this the AiGuru SV1T videophone is a pretty nifty device with an 800×480 7-inch touchscreen display, WiFi and Ethernet connectivity, a VGA webcam, microphone and speakers.

Unfortunately, due to the fact that it will probably be priced right around $300, it will most likely never come off because why buy one of these when you can jut get a netbook for the same price that does the same thing, plus more?

It seems that Kopin Corporation have managed to create what they are calling the world’s smallest VGA LCD display. At just 0.27-inches, I’m not arguing, but the fact that this little guy has a resolution of 600×480 makes this a true breakthrough.

But why? Well, prior to this manufacturers haven’t been able to cram that many pixels into such a small display. In fact, the pixels used are about the size of a human’s red blood cell, now that’s small! Kopin also noted that they are working towards creating a 2048×2048 display no larger than a postage stamp.

Why you would ever need such a small display to display such a high definition picture, I don’t know, but it sure is cool.
