Well, well, well. Look what we have here. It’s been awhile since the last time you saw HP’s flexible screen, and we have to admit, is way too long. It looks even better than it was back in the day, when the company and Arizona State University worked together to demonstrate that it was the first time. Yes, our teams were already made in this matter, or even our tablets, but for now we will have to live with the screenshots and maybe a video from time to time, to celebrate with us again.

We will capture Hardware.info screen, but definitely the strong job of capturing the video below. We hope that HP was planning to put its flexible displays in some sort of flexible team (yes, we can dream), but apparently the only material that could survive a half dozen roll-ups. That’s not good enough for something that people use every day, at least one year. Therefore, no image appears flexible real, even if the material has been created for it. What we get out of the design, is thinner and lighter displays, which also is a good thing.

Do not forget to watch the video and see the show in motion. A video definitely does it justice, even if the still images that look good. No word on whether we will see a screen from the screen layout-flexible in the short term, but it seems that HP is committed to reducing the burden on many of the gadgets we use today, most of our computers . So hopefully they can stay on the ball, and leave some units self here in the near future.

There’s no hiding the fact that when something new, the first thing I do is open the box, pop in the battery (if you need a battery), and then turn that thing off and start walking your business. I do not want, which is to activate the device, and knowing you have some information-jacking botnet malware program running on it. That’s a bad day. That’s exactly what happened to several thousand people who recently took a HTC Vodafone Spain Magic, the wireless service provider has recently admitted.

Mariposa’s agent officially infected botnet somewhere in the stadium of 3,000 handsets, the company told the Spanish press on Thursday. The company had met its Iberian branch, along with representatives from Panda Software, which really caught the infringement of malware from the beginning. Vodafone Spain has a magic HTC a company representative to test and that when this whole problem started, back in early March. While Butterfly is the big name to be launched at any time, it seems that other malware strains were also found in many of the Magics HTC. How was the theft of information from the program to find its way into phones? Using SD cards. A second infection was also confirmed by the announcement earlier this week when a phone made its way to a security consultant S21sec.

Vodafone Spain is now in the works for MicroSD cards replacement of 3,000. Not because I think it is a precautionary measure, but because it has fully admitted that 3,000 devices are more than likely infected. Fortunately, Vodafone is investigating the situation, and so far has found that the event is a “localized” and not spread through other terminals of Vodafone Europe. This is definitely shocking news, but we are pleased that the wireless service provider is to admit the problem and do what they have to do to fix the situation. We hope you can cut off the source and prevent something like this happening again.

While the iPhone SDK 3.2 beta has been out since the official announcement from Apple iPad, the developers have not been able to submit their applications anywhere. Apple has given them plenty of time to make the best applications that can, for the specific reason they do not want to spoil the launch of their defective software Tablet legendary device. This is a good strategy, but now the floodgates are open and officially developers can submit their applications to the App Store.

The kicker is, is that if you want your application to be ready for launch on April 3, you need your application to be submitted to the App Store on March 27. That’s not a big difference from the official launch, so Apple should be taking steps in the process of approval of the application, as well as vetting applications that are launching really worth it. We hope we see a number of applications ready for launch iPad, because as much as we like to play with the 150,000 applications, we wanted to see what the iPad is capable of. (Even if it takes a while to actually see.)

If you’re a developer, then you got the email saying that good news. We hope that you have the second best application, as we all know what makes that coveted number one place in the App Store is one of those noble goals that all developers do for themselves. May we suggest an innovative game that takes full advantage of the hardware specifications of the iPad? While we are excited about this game perfectly iPad was first shown, we are very excited to see the potential shown by the developers out there.

Microsoft has captured some pain last week during the last phase of the debacle of copying and pasting, a meme that began when Apple missed the functionality of the iPhone (and took two years to add in) and was raised to the admission that Windows Series 7 Phone not included with the ability to cut text from one application and paste into another. In fact, copy and paste is just one example of Microsoft lock your smartphone experience new, cutting a lot of OEM and customization for the user in the process. They are not the only company to do so, however, only the latter seems to decide that users want delineated – perhaps even prescriptive – experiences instead of flexibility.

Poster-child, indeed, for these reins firmly UX is the iPhone, and we can only imagine that there are some giggling going on in Cupertino on changing his rival of this approach. Mobile Windows used to be the go-to type of flexibility in smartphones: Yes, there appeared to be hot in his home state, but if you beat an application that access – or just wanted to play with – the core elements of the Microsoft device little effort was made to be on your way. It has become a hotbed of ROM and modify everything yourself, to change patterns of blinking LED to completely revise that based only streamline all aspects of the phone, the kind of thing Android modders are doing now, their counterparts in for Windows Mobile were doing years before.

Another good example is the iPad. As discussed before, listen to the reception of media from Apple’s upcoming tablet, which are forgiven for thinking that was the device, first in the world, not the last device touchscreen in a segment that goes back to years. What seems to have commentators – and, judging by the pre-sale estimates, potential owners – is nonetheless excited by what Apple can do to make the “other equipment to maintain” a headache-free device. If you already have a main computer – whether desktop or laptop – and maybe a netbook, so the last thing you want is to add another machine to look after, meet with software updates and anti-spyware, like everything pamper more, yes, an oversized iPod touch.

On the other side of the apparent gap, such as the Nokia N900 device, a phone that – outside the box – at the border can be frustrating. The N900 does not have the instant gratification of other latest devices, that are inclined backward to delivering the range of functionality within reach of a finger. Instead, Nokia is making a name for himself among those who want to experiment with their mobile devices, not to overload the standard platforms, connecting hardware uncommon and, in general the realization through some of the touches that the paradigm desktop to the mobile space.

Of course, you can not blame manufacturers for wanting to control their user experience. For all the good work of HTC and others have done with changing the user interface of Windows Mobile 6.x, Microsoft still capture the pain of reviewers and owners alike to encourage fragmentation UX. With Apple assault ahead in the segment of smartphones is hard to criticize Microsoft for not following his example and closing some of the areas previously turned around and bit them. Meanwhile, the so-called flexible – a challenge? – Devices like the N900 is not expected to be a spectacular sales success.

There is a misconception that technology-Aware – the kind of people who read this site and keep up with the latest, early adopters, perhaps – are the recipients of complex devices simultaneously with blinders to the demands of current. It is a false distinction: they are all “guilty” of wanting a device that “just works”. Yes, some users might also want a greater degree of flexibility – to change, adjust or in general a step outside the expectations of the manufacturer that the device could be useful – but there is a hypothesis, however, that the basic functionality is rock solid.

That expectation has been forced to dumb-down devices? Maybe – is certainly one way to guarantee the basic principles are addressed – but to be fair, that seems to be the way that many consumers prefer. A shop full of diplomas of application is all very well until one of them goes wrong and ends with your address book. Developers have to be smarter to meet stiffer third software guidelines, sometimes for good reasons, such as sandboxing applications to prevent a crash down the whole system, sometimes for reasons not as great as constraints blanket in the background processes. There is no dumbed-down and there’s just dumb, it remains to see whether asking the user experience stable, in fact, left us with fewer options in general.

Do people use energy more careful if they can control it through a device known? That is what is energy management technology provider of Tendril count, but has borrowed the style of the inspiration of a digital clock to control the power of his vision, not only can display real-time use, but predict future employers.

That means you can expect to put in the dryer, even a low power period was predicted, or the vision could highlight where the cheapest energy rates is activated. There is also a web page that shows that accompanies most comprehensive data that allow it, with “planning to use personal energy” believed, and surely then educate the subway to make better predictions.

Vision measures about 8 x 6 inches and weighs less than two pounds, and Tendril believe that with continued use could be seen 10 to 15 percent reductions in energy bills. All very well, but the vision remains to be seen how expensive it is to be, that is offered – Tendril work with energy companies, instead of selling products directly to consumers – and whether single-purpose devices of this type can have peoples’ attention.

Remember the Joo Joo? Of course you do; we just covered it, after all. Letting you know that the future tablet from Fusion Garage got a bit of an upgrade in the User Interface department, before it’s ultimate release later this month. But, you know what’s better than knowing your latest gadget won’t have a bland, boring desktop? Getting to look at its insides, thanks to some documents found in the FCC’s databanks. And, believe it or not, the Joo Joo has some good things going for it.

First and foremost, we’ve got the NVIDIA Ion combined with Intel’s Atom N270. Second, despite the fact we’ve heard from Fusion Garage themselves that the Joo Joo won’t be shipping at the end of March with 3G on board, the FCC reveals that there is indeed a 3G card in there, so maybe something is changing. However, while we love the combination of Ion and the Atom N270, we have to admit that we’re not really sure the battery life is going to be anything to write home about. While the Joo Joo’s main competition is primed at a 10 hour battery life, there’s some speculation going around that the Joo Joo will barely make 5.

It’s going to just be a few short weeks before Fusion Garage unleashes their tablet, so before long we’ll be able to give you all the gory details, instead of banking on FCC documentation. Though, after seeing the upgraded User Interface and knowing that an application store of some sort is shipping with the fully HD-capable tablet makes our hearts flutter a bit. Essentially, we just can’t wait to get our hands on a new gadget.

Have you heard? The Game Developer’s Conference (GDC) is going on right now, which is why it shouldn’t go as a big surprise that all these companies are announcing things there. Yes, they’ll generally have a video game/gaming twist to it, but that’s okay. Especially when we have Microsoft presenting, and they’re giving details on how push notifications are going to work on the upcoming mobile Operating System.

Right up until the official announcement of Windows Phone 7 Series, there came a time when multitasking came under fire. Was it going to be included? Would Microsoft really ditch such an integral feature (and one that’s been highly scrutinized by the competition)? Well, at least in the form of their online “multiplayer” games, it looks like push notifications are going to be the rule, rather than the exception.

As the video explains, this is going to be the best way to run these games. As we’ve mentioned before, asynchronous, turn-based games are definitely going to happen on Windows Phone 7 Series, and this methodology is going to make sure they run smoothly.

However, this is dealing with gaming. And while they do show that the live tiles, the ones that are displayed on the phone’s “home screen”, and explain that they are going to get updated in real-time, we’re wondering just what this means for third-party applications, as well as first-party ones. Will there be no multitasking at all? (Outside, of course, listening to music and the like.) Will Pandora, which was noted during the initial keynote, work while you’re sending a text message? These are the questions that people are still asking, and even though we may have just shed some light on it, we’ve certainly not illuminated the depth of the cave quite yet. MIX10 anyone?

Welcome to the future, ladies and gentlemen. What we have here, by definition, is exactly where technology should be going. While we love all our gadgets, from the smallest magnets to the largest LED TVs, it’s this kind of tech that makes our spines tingle. After all, even if it may not work as well as it does in all those science-fiction movies, it’s sure going in the right direction. Intendix wants to make it possible for those who may not be able to speak, to finally get what they want to say out to those around them, and we can’t help but love the process.

The Intendix computer was debuted during CeBIT 2010, but there were some key details missing from the presentation. The technology itself was created by the Austrian Guger Technologies, or g.tec, to better improve the lives of those with any kind of locked-in syndrome, or any other kind of situation that may prevent someone from telling people what they want or need.

And yes, you are right about what it does: the system is a thought-to-computer network, which works by placing an EEG helmet on the user. From that point on, the user can “text,” or trigger an alarm if needed. The system is also able to speak the text out-loud, copy or print text to or from an email, or to issue commands to an external device. The system works at a rate of about five to 10 characters per minute.

There’s no other way to look at this: it’s mind control, but in a far more healthy, and lucrative fashion. Trying to help others is never a bad thing, and we’re hoping that the Intendix makes it to as many people as it can who need it. However, like any other thing that’s needed, there’s always a price tag. What we’re looking at now is about $12,250 for a single unit. There’s also no word on widespread distribution or manufacturing, but hopefully that gets cleared up soon.

We love gadgets with cool names. And while Sony’s BLOGGIE may take the crown for strangest, the EVIL camera takes the cake for awesome. The EVIL part stands for (Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens), and that basically does a great job of breaking down the core elements of this camera. While the looks may not attract the most hardcore of consumer, it may have enough in the software end of things to make anyone on the fence change their mind, given enough hands-on time with the device.

About a month ago, at the PMA show, images of the EVIL camera came to light. And while they did a great job of showcasing the camera proper, there were some question floating around on how snapping photos would be handled, among a few others. Well, it’s all been answered now, as the latest images of the EVIL’s methods have come out, and show a touchscreen. It also shows us that photographers will also be able to save images in the JPEG and RAW modes. Plus, there’s an APS-C sized sensor in this little guy, which is pretty fantastic on Sony’s part.

Despite the fact that the EVIL is just a camera, Sony has found themselves giving enough to place an onboard tutorial for you, if you do decide that this is the camera for you. While the EVIL camera may not seem like it could be a real DSLR competitor, from what we can see in specifications, we’re wondering if Sony could find a reasonable price tag to go along with this gadget, and therefore definitely woo some potential buyers. Unfortunately, there’s no word on pricing or availability at this point.

In some urban areas where there are lots of cars and people the fastest way to get around is often a bike or walking. In more spread out rural areas riding a bike to work can mean a trek of many miles. A cool new bike concept with a carbon fiber frame and electric power has turned up that makes getting where you need to go cool and green.

According to the designer, the carbon fiber frame is conductive and would be used to conduct the electric power rather than wires. The concept has electric motors between the dual-rims in front and back of the bike.

The concept also uses regenerative braking to generate power for the battery that drives a counterturning axle rather than gears or chains like most bikes use. This concept is a bit farther along than some we have seen, the creator already has a prototype built and in testing. I wonder how the bike protects the rider from the power sent through the frame.
