Even though it has yet to be released, the WePad I wrote about a month ago has been renamed. Why is it that names seem to be such a focus when it comes to these tablet computers? First we had all the jokes about feminine hygiene products and Apple’s name choice. Some are still waiting Continue reading...
Until we get those new fangled touchscreens, and hopefully other devices someday, that can be powered from our own human generated electrical energy, purchased electricity remains a necessity.

While we still don’t have consumer versions of that Light Touch projector/computer that turns any surface a touchscreen, I have come across something that is available that turns any surface into a speaker. OrigAudio has come out with, “The Rock-It portable vibration speaker system takes music from your device and generates it into vibration sequences. Continue reading...
I keep hoping to see consumer applications available of that amazing gizmo that turns any surface into a touchscreen. But it seems we are still waiting for companies to manufacture products incorporating the Light Touch technology that has been developed by Light Blue Optics.
