HP's Windows Tablet Appears Dead; WebOS Tablet Lives

Oh, for those halcyon days of early January. Microsoft's Steve Ballmer was on stage, Hewlett-Packard tablet in hand, and the iPad was still officially a rumor.

Six months later, it's a brave new world. HP is buying Palm, the the Apple iPad is now the geek accoutrement du jour, and the poor HP Slate? Locked in a closet, if not a dustbin.

Forrester's Sarah Rotman Epps helped host her firm's Untethered conference Wednesday in New York City, and generated this tweet: "HP: WebOS tablet coming. No comment on Windows device."

Phil McKinney, a gregarious sort of gentleman, was scheduled to speak at the conference, where Technlogizer's Harry McCracken said he asked about the fate of the Slate. McKinney offered up the no comment of doom, which led Epps, McCracken and other attendees to bury the poor Slate in the grave of ignominy.

At least we know that Palm's webOS lives.

Shapeways: 3D Printing for Pros, Hobbyists—and Really, Anyone

I first heard about Shapeways in 2008: It's a Web-based service that prints and sells user-designed 3D objects. I liked the DIY sound of it, as well as the cutting-edge-tech aspect. Not being adept in a computer design myself, I ordered one of the customizable, already-designed objects (the Lightpoem candle holder) and loved it. I wound up recommending Shapeways as a really different and creative place to find gifts.

Shapeways has come a long way since then. It's added more printable materials, full colors, many user designs, and new ways to customize objects. Tony Hoffman and I recently had a conversation with Shapeways CEO Peter Weijmarshausen to find out what's new and coming up for the site.

According to Weijmarshausen, Shapeways now boasts close to a thousand individual "shops" set up by independent designers selling their Shapeway creations (sort of a cross between Etsy and Quirky), with some making upward of $1,000 a month. "The idea is to create a community," he told us, and the Shapeways community is certainly flourishing, with an active forum and blog as well as frequent contests for designers. Also fostering that sense of community: The Co-Creator model, where buyers can team up with their choice of designer to tweak and customize a design.

The CEO was also bullish on the new printable materials, including alumide, plastic mixed with aluminum powder; milky-white matte glass, made from recycled materials; and full-color plastic. Some are only temporary, such as the gold-plated stainless steel, available just until June 15. Weijmarshausen explained that they add new materials gradually, as each type requires its own printer.

Quick Drive: Audi A3 TDI Beats Hybrids on the Highway

The Audi A3 TDI puts hybrids to shame on the highway. This little turbo-diesel station wagon gets 42 mpg with a 600-mile cruising range on the highway. Around town, it's rated at a reasonable, albeit less-than-hybrid, 30 mpg. Minimum buy-in runs just over $30,000 for something about the size of (pardon the crude comparison) an old Saturn station wagon. For the price you do get the industry's most tasteful cockpit.

Pandigital Releases $199 Full-Color Touchscreen Novel eReader

The era of the color e-book reader is upon us. Granted, it was rather forcefully nudged along by the Apple iPad, but the Pandigital e-reader seems likely to be yet another nail in the coffin of the current crop of black-and-white readers, such as the Amazon Kindle in its various iterations.

Pandigital today announced that it has extended beyond its digital photo-frame roots with the release of the Novel eReader, a $199 e-book reader with a 7-inch TFT LCD color touchscreen display. The device features access to Barnes & Noble's eBookstore and the company's LendMe technology, which lets users share e-books with friends.

The Novel has 800-by-600 resolution, Wi-Fi, a mini-USB port, a SD/MMC slot, and 1GB of built-in memory. It can read a number of file formats, including PDF, ePub, and HTML.

The Novel eReader ships in June.

Intel Moves on from Yahoo Widget Partnership with Google TV

In 2008, Intel partnered with a search engine provider, staking a claim in the world of Internet-connected TVs. No, it obviously wasn't Google, but Yahoo, and the first "widget" TVs.

Intel's representative at the time was Eric Kim, senior vice president and general manager of Intel's Digital Home Group. On Thursday, I ran into Kim again at the Logitech suite, where the company was showing off its Google TV companion device behind closed doors.

Kim received a demonstration of the Google TV technology just before I did. His reaction? "Very innovative."

Given Intel's previous partnership with Yahoo, why was Intel backing rival Google? According to Kim, the first Yahoo devices were "simple types of applications," lacking the interactivity of the full Web. The Google TV technology "doesn't need selling," he said, calling it the "right place to be" for Intel.

Intel continues to partner with Yahoo on its Connected TV initiative, and will continue to support it, he said.

Integra Ships 3D-Ready Receiver

We're all going to hear a lot more about 3D home video this year, and Integra is ready for the revolution. It has introduced two 3D-video-ready THX Select 2 Plus certified home theater receivers. They allow home theater owners to take full advantage of that extra dimension in video and sound.

The Integra DTR-30.2 and the DTR-20.2 use HDMI 1.4a A/V, so they can pass 3D signals from the player to a 3D video display, while simultaneously extracting uncompressed full-definition soundtracks using Dolby True-HD or DTS-HS Master Audio. They're compatible with 3D broadcast formats, and have five rear HDMI inputs and one output. The DTR-30.2 also has a front panel HDMI input. They're available now for $800 and $600.

Data Usage on Cell Phones Now Trumps Voice Calls

This was bound to happen at some point.

Although almost 90 percent of U.S. households now have a cell phone, the amount of voice minutes consumed has stayed relatively flat. But for the first time, wireless industry association CTIA reports that the amount of data in text, e-mail messages, streaming video, music, and other apps on mobile devices in 2009 surpassed the amount of voice data in calls, according to the New York Times.

"Originally, talking was the only cellphone application," said Dan Hesse, chief executive of Sprint Nextel, in the article. "But now it's less than half of the traffic on mobile networks." He added that within the next few years, it's possible cell phone users will pay primarily for the data they use instead of by voice minutes.

Sharp Launches 3D Mobile Device Camera

Sharp Corporation has unveiled a 3D camera module for mobile devices that could capture high-definition 720p 3D video images.

To do this, a 3D camera requires peripheral circuitry that applies image processing between two images, taken with two cameras that capture images simultaneously for the right and left eyes. This is bit of a trick to pull off for something that can squeeze into a four ounce cell phone, but that appears to be what Sharp has accomplished here.

The company said it will begin shipping samples in July, and will begin mass production later in 2010.

Last month, Sharp Corporation announced it was also working on 3D-capable cell phone displays that won't require special 3D glasses in order to view properly. (via FierceMobileContent)

Spacecraft to Conduct Massive Experiment--With Lasers

NASA and ESA are planning to launch three spacecraft into orbit around the sun some three million miles apart, and then have them shoot lasers at each other, Popular Science reports.

You may want to stop for a moment and just bask in the coolness of that idea. Back yet? The purpose of this project will be to prove one last part of Einstein's theory of relativity: the existence of gravitational waves, or "huge ripples in time and space that flow outwards from the collision of huge celestial bodies like black holes," as the report said.

To do this, NASA and ESA will deploy LISA, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna; it consists of three spacecraft that will fire lasers at each other and measure the relative positions of floating cubes of gold and platinum alloy--with a precision of 40 millionths of a millionth of a meter.

The project is set for launch in 2020.

Nokia, Harman Connect the Car to Smartphones

Nokia and in-car entertaiment company Harman said Monday that the two companies intend to develop a smartphone-to-car interface that could pass information back and forth between the two computing systems.

Neither company revealed a timetable to complete development. Nokia and Harman indicated that the physical connnection would be made via a USB cord, with Bluetooth as a backup for short-range trips. However, the Bluetooth connection could also quickly drain the phone's battery, the two companies noted.

However, both companies said that they could add the functionality of the other device to augment its own.

Specifically, it appears that the two companies envision the smartphone as a communications and possibly authentication device, capable of feeding data to the automotive system and vice versa. In one example given in a joint statement the companies released on Monday, a car low on gas/petrol would alert the phone, which would then search out a list of nearby gas stations. The partnership also assumes that locations like parking garages would be able to signal their availability, and ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) would be able to tap into the connection as well.

"House" Finale Shot on a Canon DSLR

Canon reported on Monday that the season finale of "House" has been shot entirely on a high-end digital SLR, the Canon EOS 5D Mark II. The episode marks the "first network prime-time drama" to be shot on a digital SLR.

Based on a preview clip I saw, the finale involves some sort of disaster trapping House and the case beneath a building. I'm not entirely sure if the video actually plays a role in the plot or not, or if it's strictly incidental.

In any event, shooting a high-profile show like "House" on a digital SLR should validate the HD video capabilities that manufacturers like Canon have begun adding to their high-end and even mod-range cameras - even if Canon didn't specifically say that the video shot was in HD.

In addition to shooting the episode on the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, Canon EF lenses were used for a complete Canon workflow for image capture, Canon said. "Recording every second of footage to compact flash cards, the crew for HOUSE took full advantage of a completely digital workflow and was able to complete filming the entire episode in just 10 days," the company said.

The finale ends tonight at 8:00 PM ET/PT on Fox.
