An Acoustic Hyperlens
This is the acoustic hyperlens developed by the Xiang Zhang research group. Think of it as a radar dish for sound waves. Put into practice, it can increase performance of ultrasound baby spotting and sonar submarine sighting by 8x. [EurekAlert] -

Sony Ericsson Kiki Concept
Mobil delivered this rendering of Kiki, a Sony Ericsson phone with a projected display and um, presumably, somewhere, a keypad. I like green. People need to make more green handsets. [Mobil via Engadget] -

CrunchPad Prototype Caught Taking Off Box And Baring All
This is a rumored "extremely recent" look at a CrunchPad prototype. What do we learn? First, the demo man says the tablet will be out by this year, "for sure." The other is that the video guy is a klepto. More » -

Pandora Handheld Gaming Computer Prototype Revealed
I'm sure Pandora, the DS and netbook frankenstein, will eventually reach the market. Seriously, it will. One day. At least here's a real-world prototype. Turned off. Like everyone who has been following it. [DCEMU] -

Conductive Plates Could Make the Microwave Obsolete
You know what I hate about waffles? They get cold too quickly. This plate concept would keep my Eggos toasty without having to hit it with the microwave—because the heating element is built-in. More » -

Macbook Air Prototype Escapes Cupertino, Gets Sold on Ebay
A Macforums member who bought an "as-is" Macbook Air from Ebay has ended up with some pretty strange fruit: It's actually an early Air prototype, bearing marks indicating it was built in May 2007, six months before the Air was introduced. It's got a few giveaways: the microphone positioning near the webcam is off, there's no keyboard lighting, no "MacBook Air" legend, it runs an interim build of OS X 10.5 and the bottom is black-colored aluminum, versus the usual shiny silver. Lord knows how this baby escaped Cupertino's clutches, but escape it did. Does this make it valuable like a prototype stamp to a philatelist? Only another Ebay sale will tell. [Macrumors] -

LED Bath Temperature Floaty 10x More Useful and Beautiful Than Rubber Ducky
This watertight, multicolor LED housing sits in a bath and changes hues according to water temperature. Simple and a lot more effective than a simple faucet mounted sensor that will not compensate for cooling off periods. But not as simple as dipping your toe into the water. If this were it, I'd probably recommend that this concept never see the light of day, but it also can be switched into a candle mode. [Yanko] More »
