POPSSolar iPhone Just another step in the evolution to a new power industry. The power industry is in the very early stages of change that's similar to the change in telecommunications that has occurred over the past 20 years. I'm extremely excited to be following it (and clipping it).

POPSApples New iPhone / iPod "It's really thin, thinner than any smartphone. 11.6mm, thinner than the Q and the BlackJack, all of them. Ring and silent, volume up and down." 9:53am - "We have a 2 megapixel camera built right in, let's take a look at the top. A headset jack, 3.5mm, SIM tray, and a sleep-wake switch. Let's look at the bottom, we've got a speaker, mic input, and an iPod connector."

POPSHumble mouse turns 40 and loses its touch "The mouse now faces unprecedented competition. Laptops which make no use of a mouse are an increasingly popular alternative to desktop computers for workers on the move. Apple's popular iPhone and Nintendo's Wii have shown the potential for touchscreens and movement sensors. HP is pushing a mouse-less TouchSmart PC. Microsoft has invested millions of dollars in a coffee table-shaped 'Surface' computer which responds to natural hand gestures, touch and physical objects." And still it has done its job in making computers more accessible... happy birthday :-)

POPSHow Apple generates so much buzz Steve Jobs is truly a remarkable marketer. There is so much to learn from him, but i suspect that much of it either comes naturally or doesn't come at all.

POPSGoogle Phone Not a Phone? Turns out that Google isn't making hardware...no big surprise there. But if it contracts a handset maker (like HTC, as Forbes writer Brian Caulfield has reported) to build the phone and then installs its own innovative OS, that could still offer real competition to the iPhone.

POPSStar trek, tracked inside school :) Researchers at the Technology-Enhanced Learning Research Group (TEL) are designing new learning environments using interactive multi-touch desks that look and act like a large version of an Apple iPhone. The team observed how students and teachers interact in classes and how Information Communications technology (ICT) could improve collaboration. They then set about designing an interactive classroom solution called 'SynergyNet' to reflect TEL's aims of achieving active student engagement and learning by sharing, problem-solving and creating IT in schools is an exciting prospect - our system is very similar to the type of interface shown as a vision of the future in the TV series Star Trek!

POPSiPhone Scalpers Get Their Comeuppance These "entrepreneurs" who show up at big tech launches and buy merchandise just to resell it are no better than scalpers, and I'm glad the scheme isn't paying off for them. Consumerist had a story earlier this week about a woman who paid $800 to skip to the front of an iPhone line, thinking she'd buy out the whole stock, and resell them... only to have her plans ruined by Apple's two-phone maximum. She lost the dough and I bet she hasn't even sold the two she did get. This is pleasing to me. That's what you get for trying to rip off gadget-fiending geeks! -David M. Ewalt

POPSOpen-Source Hardware - The Bug Users of the Bug can put modules together as they see fit and then write or download code to make them operate as required. They are then free to share designs and programs with other users. ... Eric von Hippel, head of the innovation and entrepreneurship group at MIT's Sloan School of Management, says that Bug Labs is part of a general economic trend toward letting users do things for themselves. Von Hippel expects that early adopters will come up with useful innovations, encouraged by the Bug's relatively cheap modular components and the community spirit that Bug Labs is trying to foster. "Ordinary users can benefit from the hacking efforts of the leading edge," he adds.
