Ultra-Shapable E-Ink Becomes Reality This Fall

How many concept products have we shown featuring some form of curved or oddly shaped E-Ink display? A pillion?* Thankfully, the good people at E-Ink have seen fit to make these dreams come true: New "ultra-moldable" E-Ink cells are 40% thinner, can be cut into unique shapes, and even curved. This doesn't mean they're bendy, but it does mean you will be one step closer to achieving that bionic soldier-of-fortune look you'd like to cultivate to woo the ladies. The first product to be demonstrated is this humble but high functioning Delphi keychain. In the world of novelty keychains alone, the possibilities seem limitless. [Electronista]
*I am not entirely sure there is such a quantity as a "pillion," but there should be.

iPhone Controls Vehicle in Real Time Using Delphi's Concept Web App

The chaps at Delphi were just showing us a cool concept; they were using a web app on an iPhone to control a GMC Acadia vehicle. The prototype on display was able to check the automobiles vital stats, open and close windows, retain user configurations for seating options and even start the ignition. Check out the video of it in action after the jump.

The Hottest Video Game Tech of the Mid-'90s, Harnessed in Delphi's Driving Sim


I just checked out a rad driving simulator at the Delphi booth. It totally made me feel like I was behind the wheel, as you can see in the video. To be fair, they were showing off some pretty interesting tech, such as sensors that could tell if you were looking straight ahead or off to the side so it could warn you that you were getting too close to the car ahead of you, and the graphics were secondary. But I just couldn't get over the graphics.

XM's XpressRC Features Color Screen, Preset Channels, Instant Replay

In spite of having hardware partners, XM still develops its products in-house, which explains why every XM product has the same basic look and feel. The XpressRC, technically from Delphi, marries the color screen you've seen on the Samsung Helix/Pioneer Inno product with the XpressR-style split screen for browsing without losing "now playing" info.

Delphi's Promiscuous Sound System Docks Most of Your XM Receivers

When it comes to showing its love, Delphi's new Premium Sound System doesn't hold back. The promiscuous player has the ability to work with a variety of XM receivers, as opposed to just docking one. So in other words, you can slide in your Roady XT, SkyFi 3, Inno, and so forth. The verdict is still out on sound quality (although there's a built-in bass enhancer to enrich sounds at low level), but feature-wise, Delphi's got our full attention. The unit will be out this spring for $179. – Louis Ramirez More »

Delphi SkyFi3 Review, A Capable Ugly Duckling

We've had our eye on the SkyFi3 for some time now and the folks over at CNET have put it through the ringer noting that other than the MicroSD expansion slot it carries, the SkyFi3 doesn't bring anything new to the market (especially not with its budget feel and monochrome display). You'll have to splurge an additional $49 dollars on a pair of "funky-looking" antenna headphones if you want Live XM capability and even then, the sound quality is "a tad compressed sounding." Overall, it's deemed a "nice audio companion for those who spend lots of time in their autos." If the Inno and Helix are outta your range, the $200 SkyFi3 might be what you were waiting for. – Louis Ramirez More »

Delphi SKYFi3 Made Official, But No FCC Approval Just Yet

Wildly unsubstantiated rumors last month hinted at the release of the Delphi SKYFi3, a portable satellite radio compatible with XM. Rumors, begone! since Delphi has now officially announced the little radio that could... provided it gets the approval of the FCC. Yep, Delphi's announcing the product before it has even been properly anointed by that cranky regulatory body. Good move, Delphi. More »

Delphi SkyFi3 XM Satellite Radio Spotted, Has Removable Storage

Sharp eyes have spotted Delphi's upcoming SkyFi3 portable XM Satellite Radio. By far, its biggest attention getter is the fact that it has a microSD card slot, letting users store up to 500 songs and 10 hours of XM programming. There's also a 30-minute replay feature, so in case you want to hear a song that aired 25 minutes ago, you're in good hands. The microSD card slot means that the SkyFi3 is the first portable satellite radio with removable storage. You can just hear the RIAA's lawyers packing their briefcases. More »

Delphi Recalls Belkin Boombox, Sort Of

So Delphi, being the prestigious company that they are, is fixing a problem that isn't completely their fault. The Delphi RoadyXT is an XM receiver that includes a dock connector on the bottom. Apparently this connector is pretty particular to how it is docked and if not done correctly, could easily be damaged. This is where Belkin comes in. More »

Live From CES: Delphi's Driver No-Doze


This driver sleep monitor has been talked about plenty before, but it was fun to see it in action in Delphi's booth. It finds your eyes in an instant, and then bleats when your lids are closed for more than a few seconds. It would have to be installed in the car's driver-side dashboard display, but I was assured that it would not require a new adjustment for each driver. Anyone seen this tech used in a real vehicle yet? More »

Live From CES: Blind Spot Monitor



Delphi, best known as a car audio brand in the US, is getting sensitive. The company is working on a bunch of interesting stuff with sensor technology that they had on display here at CES. The first is a blind spot detector for motorcycles (and cars, eventually). The sensor beams out 10 feet to the side and 26 feet in back of the bike and measure the temperature of the highway. It then compares the two signals 8 times every second to determine whether someone is in your blind spot. Then it sends a flashing signal to your sideview mirror for whichever side the other vehicle is on.

Live From CES: Delphi Intelligent Child Restraint and Crib Monitor


Delphi is also working on sensors for the child safety zone—an area of much interest to the child-bearing Gizmodo editors. The intelligent child restraint is a device to help ensure that you install your car seat correctly. Child seats are mis-installed 80% of the time, a stat that will come as little surprise to anyone who has spent an hour trying to figure out how to strap one of these suckers in. Press the "test" button on this monitor and it senses whether the belts are tight and that the seat is correctly positioned. If you do something wrong, a red light signals one of four zones that needs work. The trouble, of course, is that it can't tell you how to get the straps correctly positioned, only that you are doing something wrong. But at least it narrows down your search. This sensor has to be manufactured into the seat, but Delphi will only say that they are working with "several" partners to bring this to market. More »
