night vision 20100427 OLED film could mean really cheap night vision

The days are gone when Night Vision used to be limited within the accessibility of military Special Forces only because over the past couple of years it has become accessible for whoever wants to use it. In fact, even a person with small pocket can easily have access to this amazing feature if he/she is seriously interested. But, we could be on the threshold of a green-screen revolution if study taking place at the University of Florida, led by Dr. Franky So, comes to fruition. Dr. Franky along with his students are currently working on an OLED film which is a lot excited by infrared.

It has been around a year now since iPod touch and iPhone users were able to have access to Sirius XM app but it seems like Android users too will soon be able to get into some mobile streaming.  Although no specific date of launch has been announced yet, the app is “coming soon”, and seems to be a lot identical to the iPhone OS counterpart, complete with assistance for streaming over both 3G and WiFi. However, somewhat curiously Sirius SM is saying that this app will be available only for Nexus one and Droid, although that is a pretty puzzling considering they are not the JUST Android 2.1.

If you are too eager to get yourself a ThinkPad netbook (Yes, I’m talking about original Atom-based, 10” Thinkpad), we have got some good yet bad news. Let’s start with good news i.e. Lenovo is indeed working on them. Well, the bad news is that you will need to enroll yourself in a school in New South Wales for having access to one.  Yep, according to Lenovo, the product is meant for the Australian school district only. The netbook in accordance to sources features a 1024×600 10” screen rather than the original 11.6” one. Also, it boasts a 1.6GHz Atom N450 processor that doesn’t have as power as AMD Neo, which is being used in the X100e. However, you can expect your notebook to run for at least 2 more hours with the same 6 cell battery.

The cellophane GPS got a good rise and admiration in Europe this year. ComScore, a company that keeps tracking painful sounding concepts like market share and penetrations, lately reported that around 21 million Europe-based people quit asking their phone for directions last year. Well, that is up 68 % from the 12.5 million who did so in the year 2007.  Well, judging by recent events, 2010’s numbers can be expected to be stellar nonetheless.
