While there’s still no ( official ) word on when we’ll get any BlackBerry OS 6 hardware, much less that 9800 Bold , RIM has seen fit to provide us another glimpse at the software front. This time round we’re looking at multimedia features, including the photo gallery, a brand-new podcasts app and YouTube, alongside extra camera controls (including a face detection mode) and roundabout confirmation that at least some new BlackBerries will support pinch-to-zoom . Oddly enough, there’s no video showing off the new multimedia functionality, just a set of stills, but we suppose RIM realizes it’s all been done before and Crackberry addicts will take whatever they can get right now.

We’ve already gotten our hands on the Archos 7 Home Tablet , but the Archos 8 has been considerably harder to come by, and hasn’t made much of a public showing since a brief appearance courtesy of the FCC back in May. The folks at Archos Lounge have now gotten their hands on the bezel tablet, however, and given us our first real look at the device. As you can probably tell from the form factor, this one is primarily designed to be used propped up on a table or a desk, but you can fold away the kickstand and do a bit of bezel-enhanced web browsing if you like. Head on past the break for Archos Lounge ‘s video of both tablets — en fran

Don’t you just love it when a plan comes together? Or when a rumor plays out perfectly ? We’re looking at a case of the latter here today, as HP ‘s oh-so-lovable 12-inch TouchSmart tm2 is now available to order with a Core i5 processor. Just months after gaining Core i3 support, the convertible tablet can now be ordered with a 1.2GHz Core i5-430UM (capable of hitting 1.73GHz with Turbo Boost)

The Galaxy S, when announced, had a full 4 hours to bask in the limelight of this year’s CTIA in Las Vegas before Sprint outshone it with the HTC EVO 4G, the country’s very first 4G phone of any kind. While the EVO’s specs were clearly more breathtaking, the Galaxy S still had nothing to cry about.

Android 1.5 and 1.6 are still major players in the field, together accounting for some 41 percent of all Google-powered phones in use as of July 15 — but for the first time, Android 2.1 is on significantly more than half of the phones out there, up from an even 50 percent in mid-June . 55.5 percent of devices are running Eclair to be exact, and Froyo also makes an appearance with a little sliver of 3.3 percent — an anemic figure obviously hampered by the fact that no one outside Google itself (on the now nearly-defunct Nexus One ) has deployed the latest version yet. It’s fascinating to see the change in the version mix over time get visualized like this — now all we need is that dark green line at the very bottom to shoot upwards and obliterate everything else on the graph. Let’s make it happen, guys. Google: Eclair is on more than half of all Android phones, Froyo bursts onto the scene originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 21 Jul 2010 13:38:00 EDT.

Autom is a tiny robot , and he’s getting closer than ever to availability. His whole job? To coach you to lose weight… that’s right, Autom is a dieting robot. You start off by entering the details of your diet, fitness level, and exercise into Autom’s databank, and then he sits on your countertop and has daily ‘conversations’ with you — which we assume are full of a lot of reassuring aphorisms and ‘go get ‘em’ talk.

We asked Howard Odgen about some of the other people getting interested in Augmented Reality, Foursquare for example who recently released “layers” of their own. Though he remained a little tight-lipped about that, he did agree that it would…

We were quite surprised (to say the least!) to see the original Windows 7 HP Slate 500 appear yesterday on the company’s site , and HP officially confirmed this morning that the product is still very much in the works. The outfit’s not sharing much, but a spokesperson from its Personal Systems group did tell us that they’re “in customer evaluations now and will make a determination soon on the next steps.” It all seems very vague and mysterious at this point, but the evidence is surely mounting that we’ll be seeing HP join Microsoft’s “hardcore” tablet push.

Bioartifical organs differ from, well, plain ol’ artificial organs because they consist of biomaterials and cells. And while bioartificial livers are becoming increasingly commonplace, it’s only recently that working lungs have been grown in a lab. Working at the Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston, researchers removed the left lungs from rats and stripped them of cells with a process that left the blood vessels, airways, and connective tissues intact. Using all that as a sort of scaffolding, lung cells were regrown on the scaffolding in a bioreactor.

What you just heard was the sound of five new FinePix cameras popping out of Fujifilm’s doors. Yippie! If all goes well, we’ll be seeing these SDHC -loving / xD -hating babies from late August. Let’s start working through the list: the 12 megapixel, 720p-video (24fps) F300EXR boasts auto-focus speeds that are “as good as” DSLRs , all thanks to the camera’s hybrid auto-focus system — a combination of Contrast AF (as used on most compacts) and Phase Detection AF (as found on most DSLRs).

Its lack of jetpacks means Heinlein’s visions of future warfare have still not come to pass, but we’re getting closer with word that Lockheed Martin’s Human Universal Load Carrier ( HULC ) exoskeleton is ready for military testing. Since last we heard of the thing it’s been “ruggedized” and made a little more battle-hardy, able to carry 200lbs plus its own 53lb heft without burdening the doughy soldier inside, demonstrated after the break

Cellphones with front-facing cameras might be all the rage right now, but Samsung continues to lead the field of cameras with front-facing screens — it’s bringing its total count of DualView cameras to six with the new flagship ST100 (pictured) and ST600. In addition to sharing a new larger 1.8-inch front screen, both cams feature the same 14.2 megapixel sensor with ISO 3200 sensitivity, a 3.5-inch rear display, and a new “jump shot” mode that uses the front screen to cue a group of people to jump and then fires off three quick snaps to capture the action. Adorable, we know. You’re also getting 720p video recording, a gesture-driven touchscreen interface, and smart face recognition that can recognize up to six manually chosen people and 14 automatically registered people. The big difference between the two is the lens — the $329 ST600 sports a protruding 5x wide angle optical zoom lens, while the $349 ST100 slims things down with a new 5x internal optical zoom.
