Texas Instruments OMAP4 Chipset Can Drive 3 Independent Displays
February 3, 2010
The Nexus One and Motorola Droid all have nice displays, but things could get better, right? Texas Instruments (TI) has come up with a nice demo unit (picture courtesy of Slash Gear) that is powered by Android, and the best part is that it sports 2 screens, as well as HDMI-out. whether that wasn’t suitable, it additionally has a 12-megapixel camera, and a pico projector. It’s certainly not a device that will be making it to the market anytime soon, as it’s more for show, but it’s certainly something that makes you drool. With all the video grunt under it, possibly we’ll be seeing phones with multiple displays in the near future?

Parrot A.R. Drone: Helicopter Controlled by an iPhone
January 6, 2010
We've seen it in Paris last month, but the Parrot A.R.Drone has done quite an impression at CES Unveiled. First a lot of "huh??" considering Parrot is mainly known for its Bluetooth hands-free devices. Secondly, considering the demo unit was working really well as it hovered at the entrance of the show. It certain did attract a lot of attention. I was lucky abundant to try it myself last month, at CES Unveiled, only the Parrot employees were conducting the demos. Piloting is easy to learn, you just have to tilt your iPhone slightly in the direction you want the quadricopter to fly and you can see where you are going on the phone’s screen as well, thanks to the camera embedded in front of the bird. The Smart Parrot Piloting Software (SPPS) uses the phone’s motion sensor, an inertial unit, ultrasound sensors and a vertical camera under the cockpit of the A.R. drone, according to Parrot, the combination of these elements offers a great accuracy in the controls, I have tried it and I can confirm the company’s statement.

Qualcomm Demos FLO TV On iPhone
November 21, 2009
Qualcomm has demonstrated a sample receiver that would bestow the iPhone and iPod touch the ability to receive FLO TV reception. While the receiver itself is probably as large as the iPhone, there’s no mention as to whether the size is due to it being a test/demo unit, or whether that’s really the size needed to produce it work. There isn’t any knowledge as to whether such a device is planned for production, but it’s always good to see companies try and stay ahead in terms of tech.
