Eye Tracking comPuter.....Do you Want It?

Eye Tracking Computer

Lenovo is devolping a computer that will use eye tracking help control the computer.  They are teaming up with Swedish eye-control company Tobii, and say that the earliest release would be in two years.  Using a motion sensing device similar to Kinect for X-Box, the laptop has amazing accuracy.  It could be used to play games, or help select items on the computer.  It would not be useful to replace a mouse however because, the movement would be crazy and detracting.  However, this technology could some day be used in conjunction with a keyboard and mouse, and be extremely useful.

Engadget: iPad 2 thinner, faster, has cameras, no SD slot or high-res display

Our buddies at Aol Tech sister site EngadgetOur buddies at Aol Tech sister site Engadgethave heard some details from very reliable sources (Engadget's Joshua Topolsky notes "these sources have been dead right on specific Apple plans and specifications for unannounced products in the past") regarding the second-generation iPad that will be announced on Wednesday, March 2.

We've all been expecting that the new iPad will be somewhat thinner and feature at least a front-facing camera for FaceTime, but according to the Engadget sources, the planned SD slot and higher-resolution display will have to wait for a future device.

The good news is that the sources are stating that the iPad 2 will have more RAM at 512 MB, which means fewer app crashes when multiple apps running are at the same time. It's also expected that the new device will be moving to a new generation of the Apple-designed CPU, rumored to be named the A5.

Engadget is also speculating that an announcement and demo of iOS 5.0 and the associated SDK will be made, although the new iPad will most likely ship initially with iOS 4.3 loaded. Any speculation about updated cloud services is just that -- speculation.

Whatever Apple has up its spacious sleeves for us next Wednesday, you'll find the best coverage here at TUAW. Be sure to join us as we liveblog the iPad event.

Top 10 Gadgets for 2011

2010 was full of memorable gadgets. You might remember the iPhone 4? How about the HTC EVO 4G? You also might recall a little something called the iPad? And coming up here, we’ll also see the release of the Android 2.2-powered Samsung Galaxy Tab on all four major U.S. carriers.

But about next year?

Will 2011 be as fruitful as 2010?

In a word, yes.

And here are 10 gadgets, listed in no particular order, that should definitely be on your radar when 2010 ends.

BlackBerry PlayBook, RIM’s foray into the tablet world. They have announced it,  they have shown it running Adobe’s Flash and they have revealed 3 different models however, they have yet to give their much anticipated device a concrete release date other than to say it will be out sometime in early 2011. RIM needs to get back into the game in a major way, BlackBerry 6 and the Torch don’t count, and the PlayBook very well could be the device to bring them back to relevance.

Verizon’s LTE phones, none of which have been announced yet.  Big Red will be rolling out their 4G LTE service in over 30 U.S. cities by the end of the year yet that haven’t announced any mobile devices that will be supported by the new network. One them could be the gorgeous HTC Incredible HD, but other than that rumor, there isn’t much out there. We should know more about these devices by the end of January.

Mintpass’ tablet, a dual screen, dual booting device that will be able to run both Android and Windows 7. The two screens can either fold up or fold out making it sort of a cross between a tablet and a laptop. Also of note, the screens can be used in unison or separately. Mintpass is hoping to get it out next year, they still need to find a manufacturer for it. Let’s hope it comes sooner rather than later, eh?

2011 Nissan LEAF, an ambitious 5 door hatchback car that runs on electricity and purportedly can go 100 miles on a single charge. It will cost around $32,000 and will come with a bunch of tax advantages. It’ll also less than $3 to recharge the battery making it an absurdly cost-efficient vehicle. Tempting, isn’t it?

The PlayStation Phone, a device that as of right now only exists in leaked photographs and rumored specs. Sony Ericsson is said to be working on a device, codename Zeus, that will apparently be part PSP and part Android Gingerbread powered smartphone. While the debate wages on as to whether or not the device is too late to market , it’s hard to deny that the device is one of the most anticipated releases of the upcoming year.

Nintendo’s 3DS, a portable gaming system that will be able to produce 3D without the need for glasses. It’s going to be out in North America in March and will give students another reason not to pay attention in class.

2011 Chevrolet Volt, Chevy’s much talked about PHEV (that’s plug-in Hybrid electric vehicle for those taking notes) car that will be out this year in select markets and released nationwide and in Canada within a year to 18 months. 2011 falls into that window and it will be interesting to see if the car catches on with the masses rather than just a niche group. At the start, the Volt is going to cost $41,000 proving that it takes green to be green.

3D Sony VAIO, Sony’s foray into the limited world of 3D laptops. Not much is known about the device other than some purported specifications and some photos but let’s answer the question that’s burning inside your head as you read this. Yes, it looks like the laptop will require 3D glasses. If it’s any consolation, it supposedly is going to have 16 inch 240Hz LCD. Not bad, right?

Apple’s iPhone 5, which oddly enough isn’t the most anticipated iPhone of 2010. Much like the second-gen iPad, details are hard to come by although reports indicate it has a different form factor from the iPhone 4. In fact, it’s said to have a different design than any of the iPhones currently on the market. It also might employ Near Field Communication (NFC) to support mobile computing. Expect it to show up on a bar stool in Redwood City and on camera in Vietnam soon.

The Verizon iPhone, a device that you should have known would make the list. The Verizon iPhone was probably the most anticipated device of 2010 and now that most reports peg it for an early 2011 release, it immediately becomes the most anticipated device of 2011.

Of course, those are the big ones that have pinged loudly on the radar. 2011 could also be the year of the solid state drive, the OLED television, the 3D television without the need for 3D glasses and much, much more.

Get excited.

Intel has recently introduced its educational notebook that is targeted as an educational device for kids. Named as the Intel Classmate PC, it has been around since last year and is still coming up with newer versions. The latest in the lot is the new Classmate+ PC, a notebook for kids which was recently developed by Intel in partnership with PC manufacturer Lenovo.

The Lenovo Intel Classmate+ PC offers an affordable and child-friendly rugged notebook that can be used by kids in an educational setting. It has been designed by Intel and Lenovo with educating kids in mind. It sports an Intel Atom N455 CPU, 1 or 2 GB RAM, 250GB HDD, a 10.1 inch TFT display, a 1.3 MP webcam, built in speakers and WiFi connectivity. It also sports a rugged, drop resistant exterior and a spill-proof keyboard.

The Lenovo Intel Classmate+ PC is aimed for countries where there is little access to computing devices, especially for the kids. Although the price for this new kid’s educational notebook has not yet been disclosed, it would surely be made affordable especially since it is targeted for those less fortunate kids in developing countries.

Analyst: iPad 2! Something Good As NEw!

With the iPad 2 hitting the shelves today, will other tablets be able to make a sizable cut in the market pie? One analyst says they should forget about it.

This outlook is how J.P. Morgan Research analyst Mark Moskowitz see it. According to Moskowitz, other tablet manufacturers could hit an oversupply bubble during the second half of 2011 because they are unable to sell their devices.

J.P. Morgan estimates that Apple and its rivals would manufacture about 81 million tablets this year. However, Moskowitz foresees that only 47.9 million tablets would actually ship this year, causing an oversupply among many companies but he thinks the iPad would not suffer that fate.

“In our view, the technical and form factor improvements of the iPad 2 stand to make it tougher for the first generation of competitive offerings to play catch-up, meaning actual shipments could fall well short of plan,” Moskowitz wrote in his investor report.

The oversupply of tablets, if it does happen, would not only hurt the makers of tablet computers, but also manufacturers of individual hardware components such as touch screens, processors, and graphics chips.

Among the iPad 2 competitors that are set to be shipped in the coming months include the Samsung 8.9-inchGalaxy Tab (in addition to the recently-demoed Galaxy Tab 10.1, as seen in the picture), the BlackBerry PlayBook, and the HP TouchPad. Those and many other tablets will join the Motorola Xoom, which made its retail debut two weeks ago.

HP Omni Pro 110 Business PC

P has recently unveiled its new Omni Pro 110 Business PC. This latest HP computer offers an all-in-one solution to business computing that would surely appeal to businesses big and small. And the new HP Omni Pro 110 does not disappoint in terms of looks as well.

The simple lines and doing away with a separate CPU makes the HP Omni Pro 110 quite appealing. This makes it save valuable space at the office or even in the home. But its features are in no way affected by its all-in-one design. The Omni Pro 110 features either an Intel Core 2 Duo or Pentium Dual Core processors. It will come with up to 4GB of 1333MHz DDR3 RAM and with an integrated Intel GMA X4500 graphics module. It will also feature a 20 inch monitor with a widescreen display at1600 x 900 resolution. Other features include a 6-in-1 card reader, 6 USB 2.0 slots, and a DVD burner with LightScribe function. It is expected to cost around US$639 for the base unit. There’s no word yet from HP though on when it might be available.

Solar Powered Iphone? Yes Its True!

So, I take my cell phone with me no matter where I go. I consider it a luxury, but I also like to think that I would have it with me in the case of an emergency, like when my brand new car broke down this morning, and I was stuck on the side of the highway. Oh I had my phone alright, but the battery was dead, and the charger was in my other (and I guess, better) car.

Well that wont ever happen to any of us again if Apple has it’s way. According to U.S. patent reports, Apple wants to be able to incorporate solar cells into some of their touch screen products. Can anyone say iPhone 5? Okay, can anyone say iPhone 6 then? Anyway, let’s imagine if you will, the premise of throwing your phone up on the dashboard and having it be ready to go anytime you need it. Awesome.
