Gagan:
Samsung is attacking the range of high-end camera phones with full force. The latest to one bring home loads of mega pixels is Samsung’s INNOV8, also known as i8510 in some quarters. The Symbian S60-based smartphone has 8 MP camera accompanying its stylish black looks. The slider handset also has a 2.8” QVGA LCD with 16 million colors. There are some of the other stuff to look forward to like embedded 3D games, high speed data connections, GPS, WiFi, HSDPA 7.2 Mbps, and a host of entertainment features. But the center of all attractions will be the terrific camera that’s incorporated. The 8-megapixel autofocus device has image stabilization, face detection, ability to take panoramic photographs, Wide Dynamic Range, and even a receiver of images with geotag locations using the GPS. INNOV8 records QVGA videos at 120 fps and VGA videos at 30 fps and has fully loaded video editing software in the phone itself. The entertainment is guaranteed with FM radio, 3D surround sound, and a standard 3.5 mm output jack. The internal flash memory in this device is 16 GB and there’s also a microSD slot for more. The headset has Bluetooth 2.0 stereo support making it even more enjoyable. i8510 measures 106.5 X 53.9 X 17.2 mm and has battery that lasts up to 300 minutes of talk time. INNOV8 has European release due this August.

Chinavasion recently unveiled their new MP4 player that they claim is the world’s thinnest portable media player. It even beats Brando’s disappearing screen MP3 player, in fact this 4GB CVSJ-1304 beats the former record holding device by a whole millimeter!
To give you some perspective on how thin this 4.5mm thin device is, it would take 4 credit cards stacked on top of each other to be at equal thickness. It comes with a 1.8 inch touch screen, with a resolution of 160 x 128, supports media formats such as MP4, MP3, WMA, ASF, and WAV. Additionally, it comes with an FM tuner, a rechargeable battery and USB connectivity. It is already on sale for only $39.55, which is a great price for a 4GB MP4 player, especially one that is this thin.

I don’t think the people at D-Link sleep given the fact they put out so many products all the time. The latest to cross the tech news wires is the new D-Link Fixed Dome Network Camera (DCS-6110), priced at around $700.
The D-Link Fixed Dome Network Camera (DCS-6110) is designed for professional indoor surveillance and security applications, though you can probably mount a few of these bad boys around the home as well. It is an IP-based network camera equipped with PoE support so it can receive both power and data over a single Ethernet cable, allowing it to be placed in locations that aren’t near a power outlet.
Features of the DCS-6110 include support of simultaneous dual streaming of MPEG-4 and Motion JPEG (MJPEG), 3GPP “Mobile Surveillance” from a properly equipped mobile phone and email notifications via the included management software. It is available now.

Samsung is kicking out another home theater in a box system which sports an included Blu-ray Disc player. This one is called the Samsung HT-BD2E and pricing will be at around $800.
The Samsung HT-BD2E, which will be available in August, joins two similar systems Samsung already offers. This particular system reportedly offers the same quality features as the others while also offering a more “user friendly” 5.1-channel design. It includes your four typical statellite speakers, a center channel and a passive subwoofer.
Features of this system include 800 watts of total power, support for most major surround sound formats, HDMI output, Bluetooth wireless rear speakers and 1080p Blu-ray playback.

Aperion Audio announced a few days ago a new two-way home theater tower speaker designed to put out big audio in a compact design. It’s called the Aperion Intimus 4T and pricing is set around $650 per pair.
The Aperion Intimus 4T tower speakers feature dual 4″ woven fiberglass composite mid-woofers and a reportedly audiophile grade 1″ silk dome tweeter. A pair of these speakers is designed to be used as either the main speakers in small to medium sized rooms, or they can be used as surrounds as part of a larger system. Body colors to choose from include gloss black or real cherry.
Features of the 4T speakers include an anti-resonant cabinet, magnetic shielding on the speakers, five-way gold-plated binding posts and floor spikes and footers. They are available now.

JVC have updated their Neodymium in-ear canal headphone range with the HP-SX505, keeping the same folding design as the earlier HA-SX500 but, according to a company rep, tweaking the specifications. The new set support a frequency range of 8Hz - 22,000Hz and have a pressure sound sensitivity of 104dB/mW from the 16mm Neodymium driver units.
Maximum power input is 200mW, and while the fixed cord is 0.8m long they’re likely to ship with an extension (as did the HA-SX500 set). A brass ring is meant to reduce vibration and “energy loss”, though I’m not entirely sure how that’s meant to work.
The JVC HP-SX505 in-ear canal headphones go on sale at the beginning of August 2008, with a MRSP of €80 ($125). They’re currently available for pre-order from GeekStuff4U.

Microsoft will be demonstrating a spherical version of their multitouch-capable Surface system at the company’s Research Faculty Summit 2008 DemoFest, according to their own booth map. The phrasing suggests that Surface, which is currently a flat table that can respond to multiple points of contact (see our two hands-on demos here and here), has developed into a round display that would be more usable by a larger number of people.
A spherical touchscreen would present a variety of technical challenges no matter the mechanics. Currently, Surface use a camera to identify points of contact on the glass table-top, changing the image projected from underneath accordingly. Translating this onto a sphere would likely require multiple cameras and multiple projectors to ensure full coverage. Resistive or capacitative touchscreens are yet to be used in such large-scale or oddly shaped applications.
It’s unclear whether the “Multi-Touch Spherical Display” is merely a proof-of-concept or a potential product idea. Currently Surface has found applications in AT&T stores and casinos; a version that could be used from all angles might be useful as an information point in shopping malls and resorts.

Seed Magazine posted an interesting photo series documenting scientific laboratories after dark. Describing the top photo above -
Much of the fundamental knowledge that underpins our search for extraterrestrial life and supports our understanding of our solar system's history and evolution emerges from this small room in Theodor Kostiuk's laboratory. On the rightmost table, infrared light from a powerful carbon dioxide laser excites various molecules to reveal their spectroscopic signatures. This and other lasers in the lab often operate overnight to increase the precision of their measurements.
