Sony's Upcoming 3D TV

Sony has shown off a new single-lens camera able to capture 3D images.

The majority of existing 3D set-ups use two-camera systems to record images tailored specifically for the left and right eye of the viewer.

Phones Revolutionizing Computer Technologies

Nokia's N97 combines a touchscreen and keyboard

Smartphones are not only revolutionizing the mobile phone industry. They are also about to change the way we use computers.
The mobile phone industry is in trouble. Network operators are squeezed for margins. Handset makers either suffer sharp losses or fight hard to stay profitable.
Hurting most are the stars of years past, like market leader Nokia and eternal runners-up Motorola and Sony Ericsson.
'Expensive' sells

This new generation of phones have so much power in them, so many activities, they've got so much information on them that it is the defining new category for our industry Eric Schmidt, Google chief executive

They specialise in so-called feature-rich mobile phones - work horses that deliver good performance but are neither cheap-and-cheerful nor smart-but-expensive.
But with the world still feeling the impact of the global recession, it is this middle market that suffers most.

New Eyes Free Phone

EyesFree is a new phone which will truly mesmerize you. It will tempt with at its first glimpse. EyesFree, is a new interface for Google's Android mobile phone operating system. It consists of a touch sensitive screen which allows users to use the phone without even looking at it. Thus people who are have a weak eye-sight or are blind can utilize this phone in their daily life.
This easy to use EyesFree, mobile phone works in a very easy manner. Whichever part you touch on the screen acts as number 5, move your finger upwards and left and you’ll have 1. Similarly as you slide your finger down you will get 8.

New Technology TV

VOD Technology Provides TV On Your Terms

New technology, and the Internet in particular, has made video entertainment that much more accessible to people in every walk of life. In fact, the wide variety of technology available these days can make it difficult to keep up with all of the options for enjoying great video.

Gone are the days when we were forced to choose between whatever happens to be on TV and our own modest collections of video tapes or DVDs! That's because of the growing availability of video on demand services. Video on demand is actually a broad range of technologies that can be used to deliver specifically requested video content to a viewer virtually instantly. Generally, this is done through a list of videos that are available in an archive.

Memristor Future of Your PC

Memristor: A Groundbreaking New Circuit

Since the dawn of electronics, we've had only three types of circuit components--resistors, inductors, and capacitors. But in 1971, UC Berkeley researcher Leon Chua theorized the possibility of a fourth type of component, one that would be able to measure the flow of electric current: the memristor. Now, just 37 years later, Hewlett-Packard has built one.

What is it? As its name implies, the memristor can "remember" how much current has passed through it. And by alternating the amount of current that passes through it, a memristor can also become a one-element circuit component with unique properties. Most notably, it can save its electronic state even when the current is turned off, making it a great candidate to replace today's flash memory.

How to fit 300 DVDs on one disc

A new optical recording method could pave the way for data discs with 300 times the storage capacity of standard DVDs, Nature journal reports.

The researchers say this could see a whopping 1.6 terabytes of information fit on a DVD-sized disc.

They describe their method as "five-dimensional" optical recording and say it could be commercialised.

The technique employs nanometre-scale particles of gold as a recording medium.

USB 3.0 Speeds Up Performance on External Devices

The USB connector has been one of the greatest success stories in the history of computing, with more than 2 billion USB-connected devices sold to date. But in an age of terabyte hard drives, the once-cool throughput of 480 megabits per second that a USB 2.0 device can realistically provide just doesn't cut it any longer.

Google's Desktop OS

In case you haven't noticed, Google now has its well-funded mitts on just about every aspect of computing. From Web browsers to cell phones, soon you'll be able to spend all day in the Googleverse and never have to leave. Will Google make the jump to building its own PC operating system next?

Cell Phones Are the New Paper

Log in to your airline's Web site. Check in. Print out your boarding pass. Hope you don't lose it. Hand the crumpled pass to a TSA security agent and pray you don't get pulled aside for a pat-down search. When you're ready to fly home, wait in line at the airport because you lacked access to a printer in your hotel room. Can't we come up with a better way?

What is it? The idea of the paperless office has been with us since Bill Gates was in short pants, but no matter how sophisticated your OS or your use of digital files in lieu of printouts might be, they're of no help once you leave your desk. People need printouts of maps, receipts, and instructions when a computer just isn't convenient. PDAs failed to fill that need, so coming to the rescue are their replacements: cell phones.

Next-gen DVD that can hold 2,000 movies unveiled

The revolutionary disc could be on the market within a decade, researchers reported in the journal Nature.The discs store 1.6 terabytes of data, pipping the capacity of current DVD and Blu-ray discs which hold up to 50 gigabytes.

A standard DVD recorder uses light of a single wavelength to 'burn' data onto the surface of the disc, reports ABC Online.

Phone Moods

A phone that expresses users' moods via 'light messaging'

In London, If you feel that texting does not express your mood while you type an SMS, then new "light messaging" by Nokia of Finland might just do the trick for you.

The company has filed a patent on a new breed of cellphone capable of "light messaging", which could enable users to send a text with a background colour that clearly expresses their mood.
