Wed June 9, 2010 | Posted in: computers, peripherals, digital imaging
3M at an event today showed the first example of a USB 3.0-based display.

The panel uses just 8W of power, or about half of what a similarly sized LCD would need.

Apple's iPhone 4 Retina Display claims "exaggeration?"
Wed June 9, 2010 | Posted in: iPhone, industry, mobile phones, Apple
Apple's claims behind the iPhone 4's Retina Display aren't completely true, display research veteran Raymond Soneira claimed today. While Apple claims that 300 pixels per inch (PPI) is the limit of the human retina and that the iPhone 4's 326PPI easily exceeds it, the DisplayMate president notes that the resolution would need to reach 477PPI for the pixels to truly be 'invisible' to a healthy human eye. Apple's claims don't become completely true until about 1.5 feet from the LCD.

Tue June 8, 2010 | Posted in: mobile phones
Motorola's Droid 2 was spotted in earnest for the first time this evening in a small but significant leak. The lone image shows just the front of the device but tellingly mentions the same A955badge associated with the Droid 2, the direct sequel to last year's range-topping Verizon phone.

Tue June 8, 2010 | Posted in: iPod, iPhone, industry, gaming
The PSP Go was an experiment to see where the mobile gaming industry was going, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe head Andrew House claimed on Tuesday.

While House admitted the Go faced poor sales, he contended that the sales themselves didn't matter as much as the lessons learned.
