NHK recently show off its all-new Super HD camera that seems to gain ability of producing an immense 7680×4320 pixel, which is around 16 times the resolution of full HD. NHK claims that their brand new innovation can product images 4 times wider and higher than in full HD. Also, the camera supports 8K video recording with 33MP sensors.

The experts at XDA-Developers once again come up with an outstanding innovation this week: a leaked 100MB file which might be the firs ever Windows Phone 7 ROM intended for a device. Needless to say, it could probably reveal information about a phone that we barely knew existed – “HTC Mondrian”. At good, the contents are likely to reveal wonders that are beyond expectation, including bundled apps, full specs and even the equips required for properly shoehorning WP7 onto your current HTC handset. At worst, the community would hardly ever bother opening the blasted file or discover it is all a clever hoax. Well, there is no indication at all, so all we can do is dreaming for now.
You would be shocked to know a mind-controlled prosthetic arm like they shows in the movies is now for real. Yes, you heard it right! Otto Bock Healthcare in Germany has officially announced the prototype prosthetic arm that you can control with your thought.

Although AMD used to be into desktop graphics market only, it is now into notebook industry too and according to many, the company is said to be able to score a big win over there as well. According to sources, the HP will be launching 190 all-new laptops with AMD over a few months to come which is a lot more than 40 laptop models launched last year. Let’s see how far it goes!
Finally, the day is here when EeeKeyboard, which is so far one of the most awaited keyboards in the history, is officially launched. The keyboard started its journey way back at CES 2009 and is expected to hit the market very sooner but it really took a long time but lastly, as we can see Asus finally gave a break to the patience of millions of potential users worldwide. Let’s not regret for delay as it at least arrived anyway!
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. Much to your surprise, the stuff’s multiple layers convert that light to a spectrum that is visible by our eyes, and if everything goes better as expected, it could be layered onto almost anything from normal glasses to car windshields.
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.
Sony recently quietly unleashed an all-new water resistant, wearable Walkman – the NWZ-250. It arrives in both 2 GB and 4 GB models, and the battery life is assumed to last for up to 11 hours in normal. With 43 grams of weight, it is probably best for even those weight very weight sensitive ears. They will be available in four difference colors including black, lime green, magenta and silver. The price you will need to pay for owning this tiny treasure is $60.
Not much satisfied with a mere electric skateboard? Well, it seems like some researchers at Shibaura Institute of Technology in Japan weren’t either as they are trying their best to come up with so-called “robo-skateboard” since last few months. With this upcoming invent, you are likely to travel around six miles per hour. Weighing in a whopping 33 pounds, robo-stakeboard will probably hit the outer-world by 2013 and the researchers till then will try to reduce its price to ¥100,000 (just over $1,000). Again, all we can do is wait and watch! Let’s hope someday we will finally get to ride on it.
You have probably heard of bionic eyeballs, which actually are assumed to be highly enhanced cameras that are implanted into human eyes. It looks like Bionic Vision Australia has indeed invented a real kind. BVA, along with the researchers at the New South Wales University, have exhibited their enhanced prototype of the “eye’ that boasts a pair of glasses mounted with an extremely quality camera, a pocket-mounted CPU, in addition to a wireless electrode chip that need to be implanted into the eye by surgical process. The electrode chip includes total 98 electrodes that tends to stimulate cells on the optical nerve, resulting in better vision for those with sight problem due to their optical never concerns. Clinical trials have been scheduled to start later this year in the city of Melbourne, with an expectation that actual eye patients will get treatment sometime in the year 2013. Kudos!
