Next iPad’s camera supplier outs itself in Taiwan Stock Exchange filing?
December 1, 2010 No Comment
At this point, is there anyone that doesn’t suspect the next iPad will sport a camera? We’ve heard as much, more or less , and now here’s more fodder for the suspicious out there: according to Digitimes , a Taiwan Stock Exchange filing from Largan Precision pegs itself as the “sole lens module supplier” for the impending second-generation iPad, with shipments (of the part or of the tablet, we’re not sure) due out in the first quarter of 2011. It’s worth noting that Largan is the camera parts supplier for the iPhone 4. We haven’t been able to check out the filing ourselves yet, and for its part Largan’s not saying a word, but we’ll let you know what we dig up. You can now return to the part of your iPad 2 dream where it’s rocking a glasses-free 3D ultra-retina display… on both sides… and it’s transparent… and foldable… and not real.

CAIRO (AFP) – The Egyptian opposition weighed up its limited options on Wednesday after the ruling party crushed its main rival the Muslim Brotherhood in a bitterly-disputed parliamentary election. The National Democratic Party of President Hosni Mubarak won 209 of 221 seats in the first round of voting, according to official figures released late on Tuesday night. “Electoral earthquake in the ranks of the opposition,” ran the headline of the independent daily Al-Shuruk. In Sunday's election, which took place amid charges of widespread violence and fraud, the outlawed but generally tolerated Muslim Brotherhood…

Bumpy ride ahead for US diplomats UK criticised in cables Pakistan has dismissed fears expressed in US diplomatic cables, released by whistle-blower website Wikileaks, that its nuclear material could fall into the hands of terrorists.

December 1, 2010 No Comment
Seems like LG really has a thing for those quantum dot LEDs . After hooking up with Nanosys earlier this year, the Korean giant is now stretching out another of its tentacles — LG Display , to be specific — for a partnership with a competing QLED designer in QD Vision . What’s being promised by this joint venture falls right in line with your generic pipe dream — better color accuracy than OLEDs , up to twice the power efficiency at a given color purity, and a cheap and straightforward manufacturing process. In fact, because QLEDs do not require the same glass substrate as most current display technologies, they offer unmatched flexibility ( ol

ASUS is still holding back some of the details on this one, but what it has revealed about its new U36 ultraportable is certainly enough to get us interested. Weighing in at just over three pounds, the laptop is said to pack your choice of a Core i3 or i5 processors, along with NVIDIA Optimus graphics, and a four-cell battery that promises ten hours of battery life — all of which comes wrapped in a 0.75-inch magnesium shell that’s apparently available in your choice of black or silver. Unfortunately, all other details, including the screen size (though 13.3-inch seems likely), remain a bit of a mystery, as does the pricing and launch details.
