Laser TV Technology: Plasma and LCD Killer?

Two companies blurted out some boisterous bluster today, saying they have laser TV technology that can smack down LCDs and plasma displays because their idea costs half the price, looks twice as good, is half the weight and thickness, and only uses a quarter of the electricity.

Samsung SCH-B600 Has a 10-Megapixel Camera Inside

Here’s what Samsung is calling “the world’s first super camera phone,” the Samsung SCH-B600. That’s a 10-megapixel digital camera in there, and the lens is long enough to let it zoom 3x optically.

Fujitsu Notebook-Slash-Turntable

This Fujitsu laptop has a giant touchwheel on top that lets the notebook function as a digital turntable. It’ll even connect wirelessly to an iPod for its music. You really can’t have this one, though. Not only is it a Japanese CEATEC unveilling, but its a prototype. Humbug, anyhow. Who the hell wants to scratch…

Homer Simpson Dashboard Toy

Not as sexy as a hula girl, this Homer Simpson dashboard toy critiques your driving in the typical Homer Simpson manner.

T-Mobile’s Announces 3G Data over UMTS, Late Better Than Never

Sometimes, peer pressure is good. One case: cellular data.

Until today. TMo just announced that they’re finally going 3G, starting in Q4 of 2006. Gizmodo…
