Light Touch projector makes any surface a touchscreen

A previously little-known company from the UK called Light Blue Optics has demoed a projector at CES which allows users to interact with the light image as if it were a touchscreen.

The Light Touch throws a 10-inch image at WVGA resolution at incredibly short distances thanks to the holographic projection technology involved. At the same time the infra-red touch sensitive system allows users to interact with social networks, multimedia sharing and any other applications that can use the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth support in the device to connect to the Internet.

It comes with 2GB of onboard flash memory, a microSD card slot for expanding the storage and the battery life will last 2 hours. Expect to hear more from this one on the OEM front as interest grows.

TRANSPARENT PHONE

Here’s an official concept phone this time,  created by Aston Martin and Mobiado, the famous luxury gadget designer. It is a transparent phone running Android and these are all renders, right now. Dubbed the CTP002, this phone is a big sapphire glass surface with titanium edges.
The glass is in fact a capacitive touchscreen and Mobiado hopes to also implement a SIM card slot, a chipset and a battery on this gizmo. Mobiado CTP022 is supposed to connect to the car and its display, with the latter showing a map of local venues and friends from the Foursquare network. Turns out that the camera in your car can snap a photo and post it on Facebook letting everyone know you own an Aston Martin.

This is all daydreaming if you ask me, but the concept of the device will be shown at BaselWorld in Switzerland, so feel free to drop by, if interested.

Nomura: Samsung to become world’s largest smartphone maker this quarter

Samsung will become the world’s largest smartphone vendor in the third quarter of 2011, replacing beleaguered mobile manufacturer Nokia, which has held top position for the past fourteen years,according to Nomura

“In 1996 Nokia launched the Communicator and the smartphone market that it has led in unit terms ever since. After about 14 years at the top, Nokia looks set to relinquish its smartphone crown,” Nomura analysts said in a research note.

Nokia has lost initiative in the smartphone market to Apple’s iPhone and Google Inc’s Android devices, and at the lower end, to more nimble Asian rivals.

Overall, Nokia still makes more cellphones than Samsung due to its strong position in basic cellphones and its wider distribution network in emerging countries.

The company is switching to Microsoft Corp’s software from its own Symbian platform as part of an overhaul of its phone business set out in February by new Chief Executive Stephen Elop.

On May 31 Nokia abandoned hope of meeting key targets just weeks after setting them, raising questions over whether its new boss can deliver on the turnaround he promised.

Apple: "Amazon's store is 'inferior' !"

There has been a dispute between the two competitors, Apple and Amazon over the phrase "app store". apple is has currently sued Amazon for opening the Android-only App store on its site. There has been recent court filings over this issue and in the latest one Apple argued that Amazon's use of the phrase for its Android "app store" will confuse its costumers that amazon is offering its own storefront for the Apple App store. However, Amazon claimed that the phrase is generic. Apple further argued that the Amazon's services are inferior and that their "inferior services" will damage the Apple's brand image for their consumers.Apple is also afraid that Amazon might also confuse its consumers further by offering its own "App store" for Apple iOS devices.

Further issues that Apple is having with Amazon is that it is offering softwares for Android devices that are "rooted"---the Android equivalent of "Jail-broken" Apple device.

Moreover, Amazon has also intended to target Apple's costumers by launching a new service that would allow the consumers to download softwares for MAC personal computers from Amazon.

so what do you think.... will Android users pick Amazon's app store over Apple's. Why? leave your comments below!
