Jai Spring 2011 Collection. Photo: Lou Rouse Jai ‘s ‘playfully regal’ spring 2011 collection is as refreshing as a strawberry lemonade on a hot summer day.

It’s getting to be the norm when tearing down the latest piece of tech that the first thing to confront the inquiring disassembler is a big bad battery pack. The Galaxy Tab doesn’t disappoint in that respect, with a chunky white slab of power storage dominating the majority of its subdermal real estate. There are also comparatively large speakers and other little curios to explore, but we’re not going to spoil the show for you. Just head on past the break for the full video.

November 2, 2010 No Comment
You should by now be aware that we’re big fans of Microvision’s Show WX pico projectors. Whether integrated into the smartphones or gaming peripherals of the future, we feel like the company’s Laser Display Engine has a big part to play in our lives. It’s therefore very welcome news to hear that its research team has managed to integrate a ” direct ” green laser into the portable projector setup, making for simpler and cheaper manufacturing of smaller components. Up to this point, Microvision has been performing its color mixing using a red laser, a blue laser, and a red laser specially re-calibrated to output green light, but that added bit of complexity can now be set aside with the inclusion of lasers that produce green hues natively. The company cites at least five global manufacturers ready to produce direct green beamers in commercial quantities by late 2011, so with a bit of luck and price competition, the pico projector dream might have itself a glorious realization after all.

Or would you guess the best city for electric cars will be the one with the most charging posts? Wrong on both tries, says General Electric (which by the way makes a charging post, the WattStation): the “best” cities for EVs will be those where nearly everybody already drives to work. … Read the full story on TreeHugger
