Kno launches World's First Single 14" Screen Tablet Text Book

The Dual 14.1"Kno Tablet  unveiled earlier this month has just been slimmed down to a Single screen Model. The reason for the same is that as compared to Dual screen version it will be absolutely cheaper.

                                            

The Kno is a transformative learning platform that blends a touch-screen tablet, digital textbooks, course materials, note-taking, web access, educational applications, digital media, sharing and more into a powerful and engaging educational experience that is not available on any other tablet or eReader today. With their custom software to "normalize" books into PDF format, Kno should have a large database of ebooks to offer very quickly.
With touchscreen display of this Tablet Students can take notes and annotate in the margins at an incredible speed due to the Nvidia Tegra processor.
The company plans to have their own bookstore similar to Apple’s iBooks and Amazon’s Kindle. The release of both the single and two-screen tablet textbooks to consumers will be by the end of 2010. Pricing and pre-order announcements will be made soon.

Light,small effortless wearable camcorder with no record button

Perfect for both voyeurs and narcissists, this new camera lets you shoot POV digital video pretty much anywhere you go, any time.

                                                               

If you shoot and share a ton of video clips of your life,then checkout the Looxcie Android app (versions coming for iOS and Windows Mobile eventually, too) wearable camcorder. The device will be available on Amazon starting this wedensday for $199. It allows you to capture videos at 480 x 320 pixel resolution at 15FPS.

The Looxcie can be docked to a users ear so that it can see and record what you see,making it a part of you.It will record and store upto 4 hours of video. If you see something interesting, you can hit the "instant clip" button which will save the last 30 seconds of video and package it into a video file which can be shared via Bluetooth to a companion mobile app.

                                                           
 You can also use the app as a wireless display so you can see exactly what you’re capturing, but if you’re doing that, you might as well just use the camera built into your cellphone, right? Although your cellphone can’t capture things that already happened, can it? Of course, you have a much better shot of finding interesting footage by scrubbing back through the last 5 hours of your day and cutting up custom clips – all of which you can do in the Looxcie app.
 
The quality won't blow you away, but it's still an interesting product.

Sensitive touch for Electronic 'Robot Skin'

Scientists have developed a pressure-sensitive electronic skin which could one day be used to restore touch by patients who have prosthetic limbs.This e-skin is made of semiconductor nanowires that operate using very low voltage. It is the first such material made out of inorganic single crystalline semiconductors. The skin can be applied by rubbing it or rolling it onto a surface and can detect pressure around 0 to 15 kilopascals, which would allow a robot helper, for instance, to do the dishes or handle a pet without causing damage.
                 

                                                           

The Butterfly Touch
At the same time scientists from Stanford University have developed an electronic sensor that it is so sensitive that it can feel a touch as light as a butterfly, manufactured in large sheets, the sensors could be used in artifical electronic skin for robots, touch screen displays, automobile safety and a range of medical applications.
The speed of compression and rebound of the rubber are critical for the sensor to be able to detect and distinguish between separate touches in quick succession.

Automobile safety could also be enhanced. "If a driver is tired, or drunk, or falls asleep at the wheel, their hands might loosen or fall off the wheel," said Benjamin Tee, graduate student in electrical engineering and a coauthor. "If there are pressure sensors that can sense that no hands are holding the steering wheel, the car could be equipped with some automatic safety device that could sound an alarm or kick in to slow the car down. This could be simpler and cost less than other methods of detecting driver fatigue."

The UC Berkeley engineers used an innovative fabrication technique that deposits nanowire 'Hairs'.The researchers started by growing the germamium/silicon nonowires on a cylindrical drum, which was then rolled onto a sticky substrate.

John Boland, a nanotechnologist from Trinity College Dublin praised the two approaches in a critique for Nature Materials.It is the most remarkable aspect of these studies is how they elegantly demonstrate that it is possible to exploit well-established processing technologies to engineer low-cost innovative solutions to important technical problems.

Energizer Wireless iPhone Charger

We Love anything that helps us get rid of wires around here.Mention alkaline batteries and chances are youwill have both Energizer as well as Duracell names come into mind.Well, this time we will concentrate on the former, as Energizer has just unveiled a spanking new inductive charger for the mass market




It will be built using Qi technology, which is actually a new universal charging standard that was developed by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC).The device will be known as the Energizer Inductive Charger, where it supposedly makes charging devices a whole lot easier as it will help you do away with cords and clutter.

This will be the first generation of the Energizer Inductive Charger, and it was specially designed to conveniently charge up to three devices simultaneously. Two large inductive charging zones that will not require any locking of the device into a precise position are available, while a USB port is also there for you to juice up another device including a phone, headset, MP3 player, camera or GPS unit. With a couple of LED charge lights, they will indicate whether a particular device is charging or not.

For starters, the charger will work with the iPhone or the Blackberry Curve 8900. The battery door for the Blackberry and the sleeve case for the iPhone 3G/3GS are both sold separately.Each Energizer Inductive Charger will be introduced with a Qi Sleeve for the iPhone 3GS/3G alongside a one-time replacement Qi Door for the BlackBerry Curve 8900, letting you get started right out of the box for owners of said devices, of course. One can only expect that as this catches on, more and more devices in the future will come with Qi technology built-in right away.
The Energizer Inductive Charger will hit the retail market from next month onwards, where it will be priced at $89. As for the removable Qi sleeve for the iPhone 3GS/3G and the Qi door for the BlackBerry Curve 8900, those can be purchased separately for $34.99 a pop.

Microsoft's New Xbox 360 Wireless Controller Releases November 9

Microsoft has confirmed previous rumors that is was redesigning the D-Pad element of its Xbox 360 controller launching an upgraded design on November 9 with a new Play & Charge Kit with price of $64.99 according to a company announcement on Tuesday.

Although the new controller is at the moment only set to be sold as part of a the Play & Charge Kit it players like it Microsoft will probably begin to bundle it with new Xbox 360 consoles.
It is a revolutionary D-pad that transforms from a disc into a plus with the twist of a hand." It has a "Plus" format therefore it can be used cardinal directional moves,and the "disc" format is intented for sweeping moves.The controller has 2.4 GHZ Wireless Technology witha 30- foot range.

In addition to the new d-pad, the matte silver controller also features concave analog sticks and gray A,B,X,Y buttons for added style. 
The market has showed itself to be ready to pay those kind of elevated prices in the past.Around 60 - 70% people assume that this XBOX price is little higher around $10 - $15.

Just think if the Hard Drive sold separately price, or the price of buying a wireless adapter. And people still bought that readily enough.Look at the response it's getting in all of the comment sections of news sites. It would surprise me greatly if this did actually flop.

Microsoft has also announced tweaks to the pricing model for the Xbox Live service, increasing the price tag for the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Mexico, in an effort to keep up with inflation.
