Keeping your eyes on the road gets ever more difficult with ever-bigger, ever-brighter GPS navigation units hitting retail. This product of University of Utah research could obsolete them entirely by tickling your fingers. It’s called “shear feedback,” effectively stretching the skin on your fingertip to tell you which way to go, achieved via a pair of old Thinkpad trackpoints, which were always too coarse a grit for our delicate tastes. The nub moves left or right to tell you where to go, and in a test distracted drivers were 24 percent more likely to follow directions through their digits than when told by cold, uncaring GPS lady

When everyone else was doing 10MP, Fuji were one of the few companies that forcibly stuck to the lower megapixel ranges in an attempt to make the best use out of each and every pixel. Their early finepix models were spectacular, particularly in low light, with low noise in high ISO in comparison to their competitors who sought to attract the naive public with the megapixel race. This is a touch like Nokia with the N86 8MP. They only moved up when they were ready for it, and boy have they shown folks that they’re ready

Okay, I got your attention, but just to let you know, this has nothing to do with anything NSFW. Apparently, the Samsung Galaxy Tab hat this icon marked “Porn” on its homescreen, but it is nothing naughty. In fact this is short for “pornire”, the Romanian word for “start”. You have to admit that is pretty funny. Source Related Posts Samsung Galaxy Tab Android Tablet Here is some pictures of the Samsung Galaxy Tab that have been showing up on the web

Whoa! Is that a Porn icon on the Samsung Galaxy Tab?

GSM Arena has already performed a shootout (blind one in fact in an attempt to reduce bias) of the Nokia N8 against the Samsung Pixon 12 . Which as we know, comfortably won, beating out even the dedicated digital camera, the Sony HX5. They said that they didn’t bother with the Sony Ericsson Satio for two reasons – first the Pixon in previous sets has already beaten the Sony Ericsson Satio and secondly, the lack of wide angle in the Satio would make it more obvious. This comparison of the 12MP shooters, N8, Pixon 12 and Satio comes via vnvas  from data.bg. Nokia N8 followed by Pixon 12 and finally the Satio.

Axel from blog-n8.fr compares his Nokia N8 with his Samsung Galaxy S (GT i9000). The difference is most astonishing, especially in low light the N8 shows that this is not merely any old camera phone. Look how much that bigger sensor helps the N8 capture photos in low light conditions (non flash assisted as flash would be ineffective at these distances) Axel notes time and time again the colour accuracy of the N8 (always the first pic in this post) compared to the Galaxy S

The Nokia X3-02 Touch and Type has a fixed focus 5mp camera (no flash). I haven’t had a chance to properly test out the camera – these shots were mostly taken on the move (hence I’ve added to the blurring). Pictures are captured with the camera button on the touch screen.

asd The game SimCity came out in 1989, but its presence is still felt in every corner of the gaming industry. From new incarnations on consoles and PDAs and phones to new versions for PC and other platforms to influenced games for a variety of platforms, it is clear that Will Wright had SOMETHING right! The iPhone and iPad have been home to a number of games in this style, and I have just found my new favorite – Virtual City from G5 Entertainment! The Hype: Build a city of your dream – a residential paradise or an industrial center. Build dwelling houses and industrial buildings. Produce goods and deliver them to the shopping malls. Setup mass-transit system to take your citizens to places like parks, cinemas and stadiums.

Building the Plastruder isn’t too difficult, but it does take about two hours. I’m highlighting the general build process. You are going to want to follow the official directions carefully, double-checking everything. It’s not hard to build, but having a short, or other problem, can lead to disastrous results

Unless we’ve miscounted somewhere along the way (a distinct possibility), this week marks the 100th episode of our little outpost on the information superhighway. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Digital City show if everything ran smoothly, so you shouldn’t be surprised to find that Scott has been called away on urgent business and is here only in spirit (plus, he sent a note). Standing in is CNET News reporter Greg Sandoval , who joins the discussion on Windows 7 phones and Google’s top-secret music cloud project — but is stunned into silence by our extreme nerd-out over the past weekend’s New York Comic Con . The rest of us, however, happily narrate our photo galleries from the show, showcasing the usual collections of costumed character and overpriced collectibles

The Microsoft Kinect system hasn’t even launched yet , and it’s already getting a number of impressive games and accessories. One worth mentioning is this Game Boat peripheral – just hook up the Game Boat while playing Kinect Adventures and you’ll get fully immersed in the action. Fun idea, but is it real or fake? Take the quiz

We know you’ve been waiting for our Apple TV review , and we’ve been playing with Apple’s second try at a home theater set top box for about ten days now, and figured it was time to report back with our thoughts. The thing is, it really is a lot of the same in terms of usability and interface. There aren’t many changes (yet!) to that side of things, despite things being very different under the hood. The new Apple TV is a lot smaller, and runs iOS 4 , and is priced at just $99. It’s centered around a focus on renting movies and TV shows rather than purchasing them.

We just got a quick look at a previously Korea-bound Samsung X430 laptop that Microsoft has tapped as a “Microsoft Store Exclusive.” It’s pretty good hardware, both inside and outside, for the price. Also, due to its Store-exclusive nature, Microsoft also put the promised “Microsoft Signature Image” on here, which means a copy of Windows 7 completely free of crapware and trialware, though Microsoft has put a good quantity of first party software that you’ll probably want like Windows Live, Bing Maps 3D, and Microsoft Security Essentials

Inflatable tanks were used in both world wars so this isn’t exactly new news but I’m posting it anyway with the hopes Russia sends me some free vodka for the good publicity. So, yeah — Russia has ordered a boatload of blow-up army vehicles at a cost of almost $3,200 per piece. Tell me — how much are you currently spending on assault rifles? Because I have a truckful of slingshots AND THEY ARE PRICED TO SELL, RUSKIES! The purchase has drawn sharp criticism from military analysts, who say the Kremlin should be spending its oil wealth on buying real military hardware rather than rubber copies. “Inflatable military hardware is most effective in conflict situations when there is a need to confuse the enemy,” the daily Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper argued on Tuesday.

French carrier SFR has outed the upcoming Palm Pre 2 and shed light on some details about this smartphone. First things first, though: this represents confirmation that a Palm Pre 2 is on its way. Believe it or not, it’s the first actual confirmation from such a trustworthy source to hit the interwebs

So, you can go and nab Zune 4.7 right this minute. Also, Microsoft is showing off Windows Phone 7 right now behind semi-closed doors (sorry, public). Can we bring these two beautiful stories together? Turns out we can, and we did. Now, if you’ve ever used a Zune before, this isn’t going to be that revelatory of an experience, but there are enough minor tweaks and one major one (the Windows Phone 7 Marketplace) that we thought were worth a quick video walkthrough

Wir haben ein paar neue Informationen von der Amerikanischen FCC vorliegen, nach denen es ein neues Palm Pre 2 Smartphone in kürze geben könnte. Bei der FCC ist nämlich die Plakette zum Palm P102UEU Modell aufgetaucht, welches als EU-Modell gelten könnte. Laut einigen Usern aus dem PreCentral Forum könnte das neue Palm Pre mit einem UMTS/3G Modul erscheinen. Dazu würde ein 1150mAh Akku folgen, ein TI OMAP 3600 Prozessor mit 1GHz Taktfrequenz und wahrscheinlich auch die Kombination aus Touchscreen-Display und QWERTZ-Tastatur. Sobald wir eine Offizielle Information zum Palm Pre 2 vorliegen haben, melden wir uns natürlich wieder

As you may have heard, last week in Stockholm a bunch of lucky stiffs talented, hard-working scientists (and one fiction author) got to meet the King of Norway. Science-y highlights include the Physics prize , which went to Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov for some fancy tricks with carbon (specifically graphene); the Medicine prize , to Robert G. Edwards for inventing the test tube baby; and the Chemistry prize , to Richard F. Heck, Ei-ichi Negishi, and Akira Suzuki for, ah, some other fancy tricks with carbon (plus palladium). That’s all well and good.

We just spent some serious, and we mean serious time with Xbox Live for Windows Phone 7 . Just like your Xbox, this is sort of an amalgamation of “the place you go to play games” and “the place you go to ping and taunt your friends who also play games.” Unfortunately, it seems there’s a bit of a disconnect between phone-based scores and records and Xbox achievements — they all add up to the same gamerscore, but you can’t easily pull up your most recent Halo exploits to show off on your mobile, for instance.
