First Dell Adamo XPS Prototypes Had Multi-touch LCD TouchPads
Still drooling over yesterday's Adamo XPS pics? I am. But it could have been a very different machine. Early prototypes had LCD touchpads (similar to notebooks like Fujitsu's N7010 and Sharp's Mebius), and even a capacitive-touch keyboard. Take a look: More » -

Dual Screen Netbook Concept Actually Looks Practical
I was pretty skeptical about Kohjinsha's dual 10.1-incher when I first wrote about it, but it actually looks decently engineered in this video. The second display simply slides out behind the first, like on GScreen's Spacebook and Lenovo's W700. More » -

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] -

Digital Ruler
This wooden, yet digital, concept ruler combines "values of a traditional ruler, with advantages of a digital interface." I think it still needs lines, but how cool is it that it sets the zero point wherever you start measuring? More » -

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] -

Scarpar Powerboard Is the Closest Alternative to the Hoverboard
Scarpar doesn't say much about their Powerboard; it's been in development since the 90s and EDAG's helping with manufacturing. Great. But the video speaks volumes, showing the Powerboard on sand, snow...even off-road. Awesome. More » -

What If the iPhone Got Invented in 1990?
Yesterday you saw the iPhone prototype with secret messages, but here you have it in full video action. It's ultra fast, but it looks like if it was designed in the 90s. By Jean-Luc Picard. More » -

iPhone Prototypes Contain Seeeeeecret Messages

Samsung Shows Off Giant 40-inch OLED HDTV
Way back in 2005, Samsung technically showed off a 40-inch OLED screen. We didn't want to be rude and say anything at the time, but it wasn't sporting HD resolution and the contrast ratio was a measly 5,000:1. Now Samsung is showing off their new 40-inch OLED (that's a mere 8.9mm thick), and needless to say, its specs are more than a little worth our attention. More » -

Robot Hand Can Sense Objects Before Touching Them
Over at Intel's R&D fair, Wired got to play with a robot hand that is able to sense an object it's about to come in contact with before actually touching it. Using electrolocation, the fingertips of the robot hand send out a weak electrical impulse, and approaching objects interfere with that impulse, which allows the hand to form to the object before touching it.
