October 8, 2010 No Comment
Say you’re watching a cooking show on television and you see some ketchup. Tasty, right? Salivating? Need some ketchup right this second ? Look no further than KDDI’s “smARt” television viewing concept, which uses your phone as a tool to get more information on stuff you’re seeing on the boob tube in real time. Using an Android-powered Sharp IS01 to demonstrate, KDDI’s crack team of presenters showed some delicious-looking food on screen then captured it with the phone’s camera, which ultimately resulted in being redirected to a site where you could purchase a bottle of Hunt’s for

We’re not going to make any apologies. So long as Sony Ericsson continues to pretend like Android 2.x doesn’t exist and keeps kicking out new devices running Android 1.6, we’ll keep docking it points like the meanest of Russian judges. The 3-inch X8 is set to be Sony Ericsson’s most affordable Android handset — we were told it’ll cost south of $300 unlocked — to date, but then you get your money’s worth with a 600MHz processing core and a 3.2 megapixel fixed focus camera. Oh, even better news is that the X8 will get updated to Android 2.1 “a little later” than SE’s X10 line. If you want to avoid all this Android upgrade drama (and save a few more pennies), Sony Ericsson is also starting to ship out its no-frills Cedar candybar as well — perfect if you just want your phone to act like a phone and little more.

In case you’ve got some fundamental issue with Apple’s upcoming AirPlay , or just a fifth-gen iPod nano you’re unwilling to part with, here’s a handy little adapter for you. Produced by Cywee and likely to be sold for around $99 by PCD in the US, this RF streamer plugs straight into your iDevice’s dock connector and then beams video, pictures, games and the like over to its nearby base station, which in turn hooks up to your television by a set of RGB cables. Any app that utilizes Apple’s video output API is a candidate for having its visuals sent over, though resolution is unfortunately capped at 480p and you’ll need line of sight at a distance of no more than 15 feet for everything to work correctly. Just to make sure we’re all appropriately underwhelmed by its current product, Cywee promises an 802.11n WiFi variant that’ll handle 1080p and output via HDMI for next year. Great, we’ll just wait for that one, why don’t we?
