APPLE EVERYTHING

These RF modules would contain radio circuitry for connecting to both short range personal area networks (e.g. Bluetooth, UWB,Wi-fi, etc;) and long range wireless networks (e.g. GSM, CDMA, Wimax). And not much more.

They be small enough to be integrated in various things and places, including your car, shirt, handbag or shoe.

Your portable devices, such as iPod players will contain only short range wireless connectivity chips. But they will have all the necessary UI’s for both short and long range communication and will be able to connect and identify themselves to any RF module around. Just like today’s Macbooks connect to Airport Express to access the net.

And thus your future iPod, Macbook and whatever portable device Apple thinks off next may have full anytime anywhere connectivity , just as current iPhone 3G has in most places.

...BY STORM

Ever since the iPhone released, everybody’s been looking to topple the big dog with every touchscreen phone releasing therefore after hoping to earn the title of iPod Killer. None have really made a dent in the iPhone’s title as the quintessential and end all of be all touch-screen phones. However, if there’s anybody who’s going to make a run at it, we assume RIM will be firing on all cylinders with their upcoming release, the Blackberry Storm. Utilizing all of the functions that has made the smartphone maker so popular, RIM also looks to re-invent the touchscreen with their new “click-able” screen offering a level of tactile feel notably absent from any other phone maker. Some sources anticipate a November release with it being made exclusive only to the Verizon network.

DSLR SEES RED

Sure, the Canon 5D Mark II and Nikon D90's HD video capability is pretty amazing, but since the camera chassis and lenses are a typical DSLR shape, they lack many things in terms of utility for serious movie-makers. And that's where Redrock's "cinematizing" kit comes in.

It's designed to bolt around the camera and adds some serious mounting hardware, proper zoom and focus fine controls and lens hoods to the cameras. It certainly looks like an option to consider if you can't spring for a high-end Sony or RED cam. And though there's not much more info out there yet, the kit's supposed to be revealed today at the PhotoPlus event in New York, and the shipping date is rumored as November 1.

20/20 HINDSIGHT WITH NIKE

The Nike Hindsight cyclist's glasses from designer Billy May are designed to help prevent cyclists related accidents on the roadway. Here is how it works; At the extended side of each lens is a high-power Fresnel lens that captures the view to the sides of the wearer's head, and sends it into the peripheral vision. So in effect, the rider has an additional 25 degrees of view on both sides into his periphery.
