Samsung Galaxy Tab can be made to run all apps in full screen, here’s how (video)

You might have noticed in our Galaxy Tab review that a number of pretty significant Android apps failed to scale to fully utilize its real estate, leaving an unpleasant black border surrounding their content. Well, you can now take that issue off your list of cons for this otherwise delectable tablet as our buddy JKK has figured out a way to overcome the scaling problemo. Using Spare Parts, a free app available in the Android Market, and a couple of reboots, he was able to convince the Engadget app to run in full screen on the Tab. He’s right in guessing that we’d be happy about that, though we imagine owners of Samsung’s slate will be the ones with the biggest grins on their faces right now. See the how-to video after the break.

Bluetooth AirTurn BT-105 gets real, aims to flip digital music sheets on November 16th

Remember this guy ? He’s back, and better than ever before. In fact, he’s bringing all sorts of good news for digital sheet music readers, namely that the AirTurn BT-105 is just weeks away from shipping. This Bluetooth-enabled system — which links up with standard page-turners and connects with your iPad, Mac or PC in order to flip from page to page without ever taking your hand away from your McCartney replica bass — even includes a debounce filter to prevent multiple page turns for each foot switch press. The system plays nice with forScore, MusicReader, and unrealBook, and the rechargeable battery is said to be good for a solid 100 hours. It’ll ship to Americans on November 16th for the tidy sum of $69, but before you rush away and jot down the date on your pocket calendar, head on past the break and mash play. It’s worth it, trust us.

Panasonic sinks $30 million into Tesla, begs for an earlier Model S build

Okay, so executives at Panasonic probably aren’t in any big hurry to get ahead in the long, long wait for a Model S , but a $30 million gift could probably get ‘em just that. Panny has this week sunk quite a few bills into Tesla by way of a common stock purchase, and while the two have expressed fondness for each other before, this kind of investment doesn’t happen without a serious tie-up being in the works. Of course, Panasonic just so happens to be the planet’s leading battery cell manufacturer, and as of now, it’s being called Tesla’s “preferred lithium-ion battery cell supplier for its battery packs.” So yeah, you know where to look first when things start overheating , melting or spontaneously erupting in flames.

Sony Optiarc debuts 12x Blu-ray writers, makes ‘em friendly with BD 3D

Not that we haven’t seen a 12x Blu-ray burner before, but it’ll be a cold day in the underworld before you hear us griping about a little friendly competition. Sony Optiarc has taken the cellophane off of its newest crop of half-height writers, the BD-5300S, BWU-500S and BWU-500S. These guys will soon be shipping in a variety of retail and OEM configurations, offering up Blu-ray 3D playback, 12x toasting of BD-R media (dual-layer steps down to 8x) and a copy of CyberLink’s Media Suite 8 with the latter unit. The outift’s not talking dollars and cents, but you can judge the value for yourself when they start filtering out in the next few weeks.

Apple’s dead pixel policy leaks out, up to 15 anomalies ‘acceptable’ on 22-inch and above screens?

There’s nothing quite like coming home with a shiny new laptop only to find tiny black and white dots peppering your LCD, especially when the screen’s manufacturer tells you that you’re plumb out of luck. If you buy Apple, that scenario might honestly play out just the same, but the chart above could save you an embarrassing argument at your local Genius Bar. According to the allegedly leaked internal document , Apple has a set of precise charts that determine whether or not it will replace your LCD — a single dead pixel will save an iPod or iPhone, for instance, and Apple will tolerate only two on an iPad IPS screen. We’re sorry to say it’s not the same if you buy Mac, as you could have a staggering fifteen dead pixels on that pricey Cinema Display and still have to pick up the tab. Hang on to those receipts, folks. Apple’s dead pixel policy leaks out, up to 15 anomalies ‘acceptable’ on 22-inch and above screens? originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 05 Nov 2010 00:54:00 EDT.

Ask Engadget: best passive noise cancelling headphones?

We know you’ve got questions, and if you’re brave enough to ask the world for answers, here’s the outlet to do so. This week’s Ask Engadget question is coming to us from Alex, who just can’t take the noise, dude. If you’re looking to send in an inquiry of your own, drop us a line at ask [at] engadget [dawt] com . “Hello Engadget. I’ve always been a fan of high quality audio but I have a problem. I need noise cancelling headphones, but active noise cancelling gives me a headache and my ear canals aren’t round enough to use in-ear earphones. I’ve also looked into custom earphones but I can’t afford paying $400 or more for a set. What are your recommendations for the best pair of passive noise cancelling headphones? My ears thank you.” We will say that Klipsch’s oval ear tips tend to fit in funky ear canals that typically reject round ones, but if you’re still hellbent on a pair of cans, we’re hoping our audience below can toss out some advice. If they can hear us from underneath their noise cancelling headphones, of course.
