Turning a plain old display into a multi-touch affair isn’t exactly a groundbreaking feat, but we’re still drooling over the Industrial Technology Research Institute’s (ITRI) latest touchscreen enabler . The Taiwan-based outfit recently showed off a new attachment that the folks over at Netbooknews claim can make displays of any size touch-friendly. We’re told that the touchy-feely accessory is still in development, which means it probably won’t hit our living room anytime soon, but our fingers are tingling just thinking of the possibilities. Hop on past the break to see the thing in action.

The first time we saw the rumored Supersonic we were blown away. HTC and Google had just wowed us with the Nexus One , and here we were looking at something even better — a 4.3-inch phone with WiMAX wrapped in a white body. This prototype was buggy and had abysmal battery life, but it was real. Four months later it landed in our hands at Google I/O . We’re of course talking about the EVO 4G which went on to become a runaway hit for HTC and Sprint as the first ever 4G smartphone in the US. And here we are, a year later with the HTC EVO 3D , the legitimate heir to Sprint’s mobile kingdom — at least until the Motorola Photon 4G comes along. When we first played with the 3D-capable handset at CTIA we were suitably impressed, but we left with a lot of unanswered questions. How do the 1.2GHz dual core processor and qHD display affect battery life? Is 3D a compelling feature or just a gimmick? What is 2D camera performance like with the lower specced camera? Is the EVO 3D a worthy replacement for the EVO 4G? Find out in our review after the break.

A spokesperson for the organization confirmed that Cooper will be receiving the award for his coverage of the Gulf oil spill last year. The NWF identifies itself as “the nation's largest conservation organization,” working through education, preservation of habitats and ecosystems and protection of wildlife. The gala press release announced that the celebration will be “showcasing talented individuals who have used the arts to make a difference for wildlife and people.” Anderson Cooper's bio featured by the NWF includes the work he did on “Planet in Peril,” a CNN special from 2007 on the climate change debate which NewsBusters scrutinized . The federation's website also has a substantial page on global warming and its effects on wildlife. The organization states that global warming is “human caused” and is “happening now.” The NWF also says it wants to help transition America to a “clean energy economy.” Here is a bizarre NWF video about climate change featured on the group's website. Also, click here to see when Anderson Cooper donned a bunny suit and interacted with apes in his coverage of wildlife that aired last fall.
