In a world populated with “Works with iPhone” devices, the uninformed Android phone owner might feel neglected and confused by the lack of Android-specific solutions for listening to their music on the road. Fret not, ye Android-loyal. pOriginally posted at a href=”http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13746_7-10460099-48.html” class=”origPostedBlog”The Car Tech blog/a/p
Face it, folks — the days of windows being just windows are behind us. Before long, our panes will double as widget displays or makeshift televisions, and AIST has the prototype to prove it. The demonstration seems to utilize technology that’s far different than that seen in Samsung’s iceTouch PMP, but it’s certainly no less exciting. According to DigInfo, AIST is developing florescent glass suitable for excitation by near-UV LEDs, and by combining this [borosilicate] glass with LEDs, it’s possible to obtain transparent, flat light sources.” Better still, we’re told that the prevailing thought is that this here technology could be used to develop see-through displays as well as “light sources and displays that use solar cells without modification.” Anxious to see what a transparent LCD could do for you? Hop on past the break, mash play and let your imagination run absolutely wild.

ATT is finally extending the availability and coverage of the 3G Microcell femtocell… but not to the places that need it most. pOriginally posted at a href=”http://www.cnet.com/8301-17918_1-10460190-85.html” class=”origPostedBlog”Dialed In/a/p
Call us optimistic, but we pictured February 25th rolling around with us laying on a couch and watching some Olympic ice dancing clips on the JooJoo’s 12-inch screen. Ah, but here we are about to cross off the last few days of the month and the only thing we’ve got in our hands are some tissues and hot cocoa. Promising to ship units to those who pre-ordered in December within 8-10 weeks, Fusion Garage CEO Chandra Rathakrishnan told us just a month ago that it was on track to ship before the end of February. However, when we called them up to see what the deal was we were told they’d have a shipping update for us by the first week in March. Additionally, when asked if there were delays with production or shipping the first units to customers we got the never fun “no comment.” We’re going to go ahead and assume there’s been some sort of delay — perhaps JooJoo primary investor CSL has been too busy updating the BlueBerrry KIRF line with an optical pad to write out the check for the manufacturing costs. Okay, that’s unlikely, but we’d love to hear if any of those that pre-ordered have heard differently or anything at all.

Not interested in piecing together your own hybrid SSD hard drive with something like SilverStone’s HDDBOOST kit? Then you might want to consider waiting for Raidon’s upcoming HyBrid Disk drive, which promises all the same benefits with none of the hassle (apart from actually installing it in your computer, that is). Complete details on this one are still a bit light, but you will apparently be able to remove the SSD and use it on its own if you like, and then have its contents automatically backed up when you put it back in its enclosure. No word on pricing just yet either, but Raidon says the drives will first be available in an internal, 3.5-inch version in April, with an external version following later in the year.

Johnny Cash’s “Guess Things Happen That Way” was the 10 billionth song to be downloaded from Apple’s Store using iTunes.
Looks like there won’t be a shortage of new laptops and netbooks next week at CeBIT, and if Blogeee is to be believed ASUS will be showing up with at least three new 10.1-inch Eee PCs. The most exciting of the bunch seem to be the executive-aimed 1016P and 1018P, which will both apparently have an aluminum chassis and 14 hours of battery life. The .7-inch 1018P is said to be the thinnest netbook ASUS has ever created, and sport an integrated fingerprint reader and USB 3.0. Uh, USB 3.0 in a netbook? We don’t see why not. Finally there’s the 1015P, which seems to just be an refresh of the 1005PE with a matte display and a wider touchpad. It sounds triple E exciting, but we promise to find out more on these little guys next week when we are live in Deutschland.

Miyamoto may have been dropping hints about some new Nintendo hardware recently, but it looks like a true Wii successor isn’t among the options in the short term. That’s according to Nintendo’s Cammie Dunaway, who told GameSpot during the company’s just-concluded Media Summit that she doesn’t see a proper Wii follow-up coming “anytime soon.” She further went on to note that even though the Wii now has a larger installed based than the PS2 did at the same point in its life cycle, the Wii “still has a lot of room to grow,” adding that “we’ll have it [a successor] ready when we think the time is right.”
