Looking into this more, while I agree this particular implementation of the technology is useless Fulton Power seems to have a better one. Additionally theirs might actually have enough products that use it to become practical. For one thing it actually is wireless charging, for another Texas Instruments and National Semiconductor are working to improve it and make it cheaper.

Logitech, Phillips, Olympus, and Sanyo are members and may well create devices to work with it.

Really, just having TI's vote of confidence is huge..they're not as well known as some today but they invented the integrated circuit AND the microprocessor. Fulton (and Convenient Power) seem to have a lot of what they need on the engineering side and the CE side to make this become standard.

I just hope that more companies jump onboard with this "Wireless Power Consortium" so the idea isn't destroyed by incompatibility issues. I'm excited.

Am I the only one who thinks the most impressive part of this is the voice acting? Compared to the typical VA its absolutely amazing.

Given the timing I'm calling shenanigans until there is some actual proof of the crack. While I seriously doubt PS3 will be able to avoid being cracked indefinitely I need more than some flashing text for this to convince me given the timing.

That in pounds sterling, so it would be right around 40 USD.

Buried wisdom of the ancients, a primordial evil best left undisturbed, the chain linking destiny, the space seperating our dimension from that beyond?

So many possible ideas and any of them would be awesome with Team Ico at the helm.

I personally favor the pulsing laser method over these more..exotic methods, but if it works so be it. As long as we don't do what the guys at VirRx claim they can do, can anybody say "I am Legend"?

Specifically, OLED CAN be low power, just like LCD can use less power than CRTs, whether this actually happens or not is up to manufacturers and relevant law though.

Thanks for telling me about that story Godskitchen and hemmy, its certainly not "long ago" even PHOLED was only 20,000 on blue..but I'm not going to make a big deal out of that.

The main problem with OLED is lifespan, specifically the lifespan of the blue organic compounds that are used. Otherwise (at least in theory) its superior in cost, potential size, image quality of every kind, and viewing angles over LCD.

If OLEDs become affordable enough and the yields increase it should be able to become the new CRT.

Hooray, Faux Business News HD, Golf HD and THE WEATHER CHANNEL HD! Be one of the approximately two dozen people watching Fox in HD, see the guy with a club hitting the little ball better than ever and see the weather radar in glorious HIGH-DEFINITION!

Well, at least National Geographic and History Channel are good, but thats about it. If Time Warner expects to keep their business they'll have to do better, because Grande where available already does.

It has a usb ethernet adapter for $29.99. I still dont see all the fuss about not having the port built in, must people at homes have wireless networks. I do see the battery as a killer for me buying. "

Actually most people are still running wired networks..now maybe Apple's purchaser base being the overconfident and overly rich bunch that they typically are (given the price of Apple hardware) mostly have wireless but I doubt even that.
