Theres recently been an influx on news on 3D movies, games and TVs. This trend is set to continue with upcoming sporting events that would be broad cast in 3D such as the State of Origin and the soccer world cup. The need for broadcasting them in 3D could be questioned and now we know it is outright dangerous.

Interesting device this little 7" alarm clock. At first glance it appears to be some type of tablet, but in actual fact Sony claims it can only be for stationary use (regardless of the Dash name). Reading this article however will soothe your Justin Bieber Fever. Haha...

I'm lost for words. I swear I began writing my previous article, yesterday, about the direction mobile devices are heading, mentioning my favourite smartphone maker Palm. Just today its been announced that Palm is to be merged with HP.
Palm has been recently struggling in a highly competitive smartphone market, going against Apple, RIM (Blackberry) and Google (Android). Hopefully this merger will give palm the scale to compete with these much larger competitors. I also hope the brilliant webOS, some smart features which I  previously discussed, will make it on devices sold in Australia.

The first thing i contemplated was whether I should start saving for a new possible tablet and smartphone.  I guess my allegiance will be less strong with the new webOS devices if they don't carry the Palm brand but I'll still buy it if its a good enough product. Haha-- and the second thing was trying to imagine what my Company A loves company B picture, synonymous with Engadget, would look like.

Can you believe that its been nearly 20 years since the Palm pilot graced our world? When it was first released it dominated the pda market, with its monochrome lcd touch screen and its easy to use PIM (personal information manager) application. Back then, using a pda was the ultimate sign of  geekness-- it was actually the first thing i brought with my newspaper delivering money. But over time the PDA has been rendered irrelevant with the advent  of the smartphone (pda+phone combined) and now tablets. So what will your future mobile device look like?

That above is definitely not the new Ipad from Apple. The new Ipad actually looks like a huge ipod touch with slightly more capabilities. In my own opinion I believe this device sits between a netbook and a laptop.

Two days ago, a Linux's fan produced a small revolution by putting Android OS into the iPhone 2G, he created a functional Driver which allow the iPhone to run normally with the Android OS, by using the home button as the menu button, switch on button as a return button. Many functions and features were able to retain, such as, high performance, WIFI Internet, listening to music, phone calls and more...

I just checked out the Microsoft Kin.  It is the sucessor to the HipTop (SideKick in USA) which was highly popular amongst the x generation that took the motto always connected to new levels.  Its a touch screen phone which has a slide out keyboard that's been built with social networking features in mind. So it has features such as the posting of status messages to sites like Facebook, Twitter and Live Messenger simultaneously.
