IT’S TERRIFYING, THANKS FOR ASKING. God why am I even friends with these people?
First we had a conceptual demonstration of Google’s smart-glasses, and now an actual one of what a user would experience wearing the things. Basically they’re glasses with a see-through mini screen in the far corner that accepts voice commands that begin with, “Okay, Glass…take a picture/take a video/take your pants off,” whatever. Based on the video demonstration it also looks like you’re in store for a way more exciting life, doing things like hot-air ballooning, trapeze swinging, stunt plane flying, being a ballerina, being an ice skater, snake handling, horse jumping, fire juggling, ice carving, being a runway model — you name it. “I don’t do any of those things.” Not yet you don’t, but I think this is gonna be a big year for you. “You said that last year.” But you didn’t have smart-glasses! “True.” Ahahahahahahah, oh God you believe me.
Hit the jump for the demo and prepare to not live a normal, regular person life anymore.

Insight: Getting device and experience in-hand is the single most effective method of converting Android and iPhone users to Windows Phone. Idea: Use mobile web to deliver a touch-enabled demo of the Windows Phone Metro UI directly on iPhone and Android devices. Lower the barrier of demoing a Windows Phone to these customers to nothing more than clicking a link. Allow customers to interact with the interface as though they had a Windows Phone in their hands, highlighting the unique features of this new operating system by staging an opt-in ‘takeover’ of their handsets. Innovation: iconmobile built an emulator that replicated the Windows Phone 7.5 experience as closely as possible on competitor devices. It gave users the freedom to explore Windows Phone simply by clicking a browser link. Each tile launched a mini-demo highlighting features that differentiate WP7.5 Effortlessly delivered straight to the phone via the mobile web (using HTML 5, JavaScript and CSS3) — no app downloads, installs or app store visits were required to view the experience.

I’ve been hacking around on Arduino for the last week or so. Along the way, I acquired both the Tri-Colour reverse (light text on a dark background) LCD display as well as the OLED display. Built both, and wired up the LCD to my Arduino Mega 2560. I separately wired the OLED to an Uno I’ve got. This is as simple demonstration of the OLED display. Its connection is a little simpler than the colour LCD, of course, because the backlight and contrast adjustment circuitry don’t apply to OLED. I’ve also posted a clip of the LCD version running essentially the same sketch. It’s also on my channel. Anyway, both are very easy to get running. The only soldering I had to do for these was to attach the header to the display so it can be plugged into a breadboard. Each of these took around an hour to build, and everything needed is available at www.adafruit.com – They’re great to work with and ship all my goodies very quickly.

Here at CTIA’s MobileCon in San Diego, me and colleague Chris Velazco got to sit down with RIM’s Jeff Gadway for some extended BlackBerry 10 hands-on and feature demo time. We shot the uncut video above of the newest OS out of Waterloo doing its thing for over six minutes, and then he handed it over to us to poke and prod on our own for some quality time.
What we found was a mobile OS that has a lot of charm, and that actually felt pretty far along in terms of its level of completion (as you can see above, it can go continuously for quite a while without showing signs of pre-release jitters). I’d heard plenty about RIM’s gesture-based navigation “Flow,” but it’s hard to grasp the sense of rhythm you fall into with it until you’ve actually put it through its paces. Likewise, the camera features, including the ability to select better frames for individual faces and components of a shot, feel amazing in practice, and they have a clear use value instead of seeming like novelty gimmicks.
BB10′s predictive keyboard is also an extremely impressive feature. Gadway told us that engineering actually spent a lot of time getting the satisfying click sound just right, and worked to make sure that the keyboard was both responsive to key taps that occur in rapid succession and even overlap. It even learns, identifying commonly mis-typed letters and adjusting the hit zone for those keys over time so that if someone is consistently hitting R when they mean E, for instance, eventually BB10 will anticipate which they actually meant to hit, even if where they’re physically tapping doesn’t change.
Another big star of the BlackBerry 10 keyboard is its predictive capabilities. These shone in our tests, offering next word suggestions above certain keys before anything’s even typed. It’s actually a little frightening how well it can work, and could be good fodder for a linguistics graduate thesis in my opinion. Natasha has a good run down of specific features, if you’re looking for more detail about any in particular.
There are still some big questions about the OS, around search for example. We asked about how it’ll work across the OS and web, but Gadway said that part still isn’t being talked about outside the company. I also noticed some sluggishness when it came to loading the BB10 web browsers, and Gadway ran into some problems getting the camera app to load, though those essentially seemed to work themselves out.
Long story short, this is a mobile OS that can and does impress, and when RIM says it offers a fundamentally different approach to mobile computing than other options already available, that’s not just blowing smoke. Nor is it merely the PlayBook experience ported to a phone; it’s substantially better than its tablet precursor, in my opinion. But at the same time, webOS was also an impressive, unique platform that won a lot of early fans in the tech world, and we all know how that story ended. RIM is obviously in a very different position vis-a-vis the smartphone industry than was HP, however, so BlackBerry 10′s fate is far from a foregone conclusion.

While its high pixel density mobile displays stole much of the attention at CEATEC 2012, Sharp also has tech destined for bigger screens like this “Moth Eye Panel” that Engadget Japanese took a look at during the show. Thanks to nanoscale irregularities on its surface similar to the eye of a moth it claims to give bright colors and high contrast while cutting down glare as seen above (moth eye panel on the left) The technology isn’t in use yet, but Sharp says the film has been produced in 60-, 70- and 80-inch sizes already, so if you thought the company’s extra large and Elite HDTVs couldn’t get any better, next year’s model will probably have at least one way to prove you wrong.
