Samsung is hoping to ramp up production of larger OLED-based TVs and bring them to the masses as early as next year.
Sony might be stealing all the thunder [and cash] with its incredibly skinny XEL-1, and its newer, almost invisible OLED panels, but Samsung did show off a very impressive 31in OLED telly [above] at CES 2008. Right now active matrix OLEDS (AMOLEDS) are restricted for use in smaller panels but by 2009/2010, Samsung believes it will have reached the economies of scale possible to bring them to laptops, TVs and monitors.
Right now they are beautiful but heart-stoppingly expensive.
I have to admit that this stylish table from Intelligent forms (iF) looks better than most tech-oriented tables and, since it uses the power of the sun to recharge all your gadgets, it certainly gets the thumbs up on the green front.
The SOLo Lounge Table sports solar cells sandwiched into the glass top to gather up those free sun rays and convert them into 17 kilowatts of energy (per year) to charge your gadget and laptop batteries via three in-built USB ports.
It also features an LCD display and Bluetooth technology so that you can view, receive and wirelessly transmit data to any other Bluetooth-equipped devices like laptops and phones, as well as surf the net. The company says:
If you want ‘pretty breasts’ then Wang Wei of Bubby (pronounced Boobie) Robot Technologies may have just the thing for you, without going under the knife.
The Portable Breast Massage Robot is designed for breasts of varying sizes and the two fan-shaped manipulators supposedly do the same job as a professional masseur, just on your boobies. Apparently it’s a lot cheaper than paying a ‘professional’ stranger to do it but you do have to wear the robot, which looks something very like a bullet-proof vest.
Apart from some medical reasons for why the Boobie Massager is good for women, Wang & Co are not unaware of other, less medical, uses.
The PS3 really needs an online rival to Microsoft’s Xbox LIVE but players are about to be let down again as Sony announces yet more delays with PlayStation Home.
Of course, the delay wasn’t exactly presented as a delay, but rather as an opportunity to extend the public beta testing. C’mon Sony – just say it’s not ready and give us a date we can trust. It was due to launch last autumn, then Christmas but now it will be Autumn again before we get a peek.
