Razer Blade Gaming Laptop Launch Delayed Until Early Next Year

Anyone hoping to get their hands on a new Razer Blade gaming laptop before the end of the year. Is going to be disappointed to learn, that Razer has now had to postpone the scheduled launch date for their new Blade laptop after hardware changes.

Towards the end of the development of the laptop Razer decided to upgrade the 320GB hard drive included in the Blade laptop to a lovely sparkling 256Gb solid state drive. But unfortunately the company has now run into a few problems trying to source the new SSDs for inclusion and launch before the holiday period.

Razer CEO explained on their Facebook page:

“And now, the bad news. Because we managed to upgrade the HDD to an SSD at the eleventh hour, we were only able to secure quantities of the new SSDs to arrive at our manufacturing facilities at the last minute and as a result, we will not be able to fulfil our initial launch orders of the Razer Blade before the holidays.”

Razer now hopes to ship initial quantities of their Razer Blade gaming laptop, in mid to late January for our customers in North America. But will try to bring that date forward if possible.

Curved glass iPod-bangle in Apple labs tip insiders

Apple‘s engineers are experimenting with wearable devices, insiders claim, including a curved glass iPod intended to be worn on the wrist and controlled using Siri voice commands. The “very small group of Apple employees” are part of an industry-wide push for wearable tech, the NYTimes reports, using the now-ubiquitous smartphone as a data-crunching hub.

The relative size of the team Apple has working on the iPod-bangle project is probably an indicator that it’s not high on the company’s agenda for release. Still, the iPod nano has at least in part jumped the gap to become a legitimate “wearable” itself: with the latest model, Apple added a variety of user-selectable watch faces, meaning the iPod can be used with one of various third-party wrist straps as a timepiece replacement. It’s not clear what wireless technology Apple might use, though the company did add Bluetooth 4.0 support (aka “Bluetooth Smart Ready“) in its recent iPhone 4S.

There are also systems like ANT+ and Nike+ which use low-power wireless connections to join sensors such as pedometers to smartphones and PMPs. Garmin released an ANT+ compatible watch earlier this year, the FR70, which uses the wireless tech to track heart rate during exercise with a bundled sensor.

Apple has competition, however, with Google also working on its own wearables tech. The search giant’s so-called X Labs employs programmers, engineers and others formerly of Microsoft, MIT and Nokia Labs and is working on the “internet of things” or an interconnected mesh of network-enabled gadgets, sensors, devices and more. They, sources claim, would be able to whisper back details to your Android smartphone.

The Shape of Things to Come

Sphero is a new toy that meshes the personality and maneuverability of a remote-controlled car with the simple form factor of an ordinary ball.

You control this colorful, robotic sphere using apps that run on your smartphone. Sphero holds promise, but it’s going to take some imagination and some app development to really get the most out of this innovation.

Sphero’s been hotly anticipated since its debut before last holiday season. The robotic ball begins shipping Monday, so those who pre-ordered will get theirs in the mail this week. Unfortunately, due to production difficulties and high demand, many who ordered Sphero won’t see theirs delivered until January.

The translucent white, baseball-sized ball costs $130, and it can be controlled using free apps on either iOS or Android devices. It glows — an RGB LED array inside the robotic orb can display thousands of colors, just pick one. When the LED is on, the gears and electronics stay hidden. A simple gyroscope keeps the darkened half of the ball facing towards the ground, and the shadow of a fish’s tail appears at the “back,” so Sphero appears to be swimming wherever he’s going.

The apps controlling the toy communicate with it via Bluetooth. Right now, Sphero’s app offerings are slim — it launches with six different apps, all of them free. But the company has opened up its SDK to developers, so hopefully some innovative apps and hacks will show up soon.

The fundamental app (called “Sphero”) controls the ball using a joystick-like touchscreen controller. A small circle representing the Sphero sits inside a larger circle. Push the inner circle any direction, and the Sphero follows suit. The further from the center you push it, the faster Sphero rolls. There are three speeds: “cautious,” “comfortable” and “crazy,” which is about three feet per second. There are advanced controls, like a “boost” function and the option to control the ball by tilting your phone. The controls beyond the basic touchscreen joystick are difficult to master, so the more space you have to roll around in, the better.

Google will put Majel on the line to rival Siri

Majel is Google’s voice controlled assistant in the wings and it is poised to compete against Apple’s iPhone 4S-based Siri. The new chatter surrounding the yet to be launched Majel can be translated down to Watch out Siri: Android’s coming at you. While smartphone users generally agree that no smartphone voice assistant has yet to rival Siri--a technology with roots in a DARPA project with a history of research before Apple bought it in 2010 -- Siri is in for more serious competition.

Based on tips circulating this week, Android Voice Actions will be followed by a newcomer that will be further up in the voice recognition hierarchy and it's called Majel.

The site Android and Me has published a story that Majel will make its debut shortly. A better conversational experience will challenge that from Siri. The key factor that has held Voice Actions back was a rigid verbal command syntax, say observers, whereas Siri ‘s AI capabilities have entertained as well as helped iPhone users.

According to reports, Majel will get natural language processing capabilities. End users will be able to speak to their phones Siri-like, using natural speech rather than having to think of ways to phrase their questions to make their phrase or sentence understood.

While Majel will be intelligent, it will not have Siri’s personality traits. Majel will not have much of any personality, say the tipsters. If Siri is a coy, sophisticated mate, Majel will be just a helpful voice assistant. Majel will make no effort to be “spunky” but will just “talk, listen and interpret,” says a report.

Google’s company purchases in 2010 and 2011 may have something to do with attempts to ensure Majel talks, listens and interprets extremely well. Smartphone users seeking useful information from a personal voice assistant are likely to find Majel up to the task.

The company acquired Phonetic Arts in 2010, a UK-based speech synthesis business. Google reportedly intends to use the technology to improve the sound of its automated voices. Also, Google recently acquired Clever Sense, the developer behind Alfred, a context-aware, curated recommendation engine. Alfred has proven its worth as a discovery engine that can make restaurant recommendations for users based on information gathered about the user’s tastes. Google also bought restaurant authorities Zagat in September, further bolstering its information trove.

Some say Majel could be released by the end of next month, while others assume an early 2012 launch to be more likely. What’s more, Android watchers point to Google’s June I/O event as a fitting time for the company not only to announce the next release of Android but also to announce that Majel is integrated into the platform too.

Apple releasing 7.85-inch mini iPad in late 2012

Apple is preparing to launch a smaller screen iPad in late 2012 as a response to competition from products produced by Amazon andSamsung, a report has claimed. 

DigiTimes quoted "sources in the supply chain" as claiming that the US firm is working on a 7.85-inch screen iPad for release "prior" to the fourth quarter of next year. 

The website said that the 'mini' tablet would be launched in addition to the rumoured full-size iPad 3, which is expected to be announced at the end of first quarter.

Research has suggested that global shipments of tablet computers will reach 60m units in 2011, of which Apple holds a dominant 70% share. 

However, the firm is facing increasing competition from Samsung's range of Galaxy tablets, covering models featuring seven-inch to 10.1-inch screens, but also Amazon's already popular Kindle Fire, a seven-inch screen tablet available for just $199 (£127). 

DigiTimes's sources have indicated that Apple is to release its next-generation of iPads in the first quarter of 2012 to maintain its position as the market leader. 

The website said that Apple has already purchased 7.85-inch touchscreens from LG Display for the 'mini' iPad, and it will soon buy further panels from AU Optronics (AUO).

Its sources claimed that the Cupertino-based firm will most like start production on the smaller tablet at the end of the second quarter of 2012.

Next year will be a busy time for Apple if all the various rumours are proved correct, as the iPhone 5 is expected to launch in the summer, and a brand new 'iTV' connected television product is also speculated for release.

It’s Here! Facebook Timeline Now Available To Users Worldwide

You’ve been anxiously waiting for it, and now it has finally arrived. Facebook Timeline, which MG likened to ‘the story of your life on a single page’ when it was first announced back in September at the F8 event, that is.

We told you how to get it early (and millions of you did) and what it looked like, but most of you earthlings – not living in New Zealand – had to wait patiently until the glorious day Facebook decided to flick that on/off switch.

This morning, they did.

Wait, are you still here? Go click that “Get It Now” button and revisit your life (or at least the parts of it you or others shared on Facebook).

You’ll have seven days to review everything that appears on your Timeline before anyone else can see it, and you can choose to see how it appears to a specific friend or the public.

As a commenter on this post put it: “Today will be the most unproductive day in America this year”.

And, of course, the rest of the world and stuff.

BBC iPlayer iPhone App Now Available To Download

Earlier this month we reported that the BBC would soon be releasing a new iPhone iPlayer application. Following on from the launch and success of their popular iPad iPlayer application, launched some time back.

Well if you have been patiently waiting for the iPlayer app to be released on to the iPhone. You will be pleased to know that it has now been officially launched, and the BBC’s iPlayer application is now ready to download on smaller iOS screens.

Aldebaran Robotics announces Nao Next Gen humanoid robot

Aldebaran Robotics' Nao robot has already received a few upgrades from both the company itself andother developers, but it now has a proper successor. Aldebaran took the wraps off its new and improved Nao Next Gen robot today, touting features like a 1.6GHz Atom processor and dual HD cameras that promise to allow for better face and object recognition even in poor lighting conditions. What's more, while robot's outward appearance hasn't changed much, it has also received a number of software upgrades, including Nuance voice recognition, an improved walking algorithm, and a number of other measures to cut down on unwanted collisions. As before, the robot is aimed squarely at researchers and developers, but the Aldebaran's chairman notes that the company is continuing to pursue its goal of providing a Nao intended for individuals -- a goal he notes is being aided by the contributions from its developer program.

Razer Blade Gaming Laptop Approaching Pre-order For Christmas Delivery

Gamers looking to treat themselves this holiday season, might be interested to know that Razer’s new Blade gaming laptop is approaching pre-order status, and deliveries will be made in time for the holidays, says Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan.

In an Interview with gaming website Kotaku, CEO Min-Liang Tan explained a little behind how the design of their new gaming laptop came about.

“When I served in the army, I was sent for survival training in the dense jungles of the tropics. We carried only the most essential gear and one key item in my kit was my KA-BAR combat knife”

“It was simple, minimalist and utilitarian – and we used it for everything from hunting, to preparing food, cutting rope and building floats. Every night after setting up camp, I would spend my time sharpening it during watch. It was one of the finest knives I’ve ever used – clean, cold. supremely balanced and lethally sharp.”

Shipping has already started to selected gaming CEO’s and pre-order are expected to start for us in a few days time for around $2,800.

The FBI may soon rely on iPhones to identify suspects by fingerprint

If you own Apple's smartphone — or any other touchscreen device, for that matter — you're already well-versed in the shiny devices' ability to pick up fingerprints. But soon, criminals may experience the fingerprinting abilities of the iPhone in a whole new way, thanks to the FBI. A new accessory called the MobileOne will allow law enforcement to scan the fingerprints of suspects and instantly compare them against a national database of wanted criminals.

The MobileOne works with any retail iPhone and simply plugs into the port on the bottom of the phone. The add-on is equipped with a biometric scanner that can read a person's fingerprints in just a matter of seconds. Rather than taking a suspect into custody and running their prints in the traditional fashion, the device could allow quick scanning and potentially clear an individual within minutes, saving both time and money in the search for a criminal.

The FBI is scheduled to begin testing the MobileOne in 2012, and once it passes its field trials it could potentially be made available to law enforcement agencies nationwide. The product won't be for civilian use, and it will only work with the government's various criminal databases anyway, meaning even if you got your hands on one, it wouldn't do much more than grab a picture of your friends fingerprints. The hefty $600 price tag should also discourage anyone from trying to obtain one for less legitimate purposes.

LG Optimus Pad sequel photos leaked, gives 4G gossips something to talk about

The purported successor to LG's Optimus Pad, or G Slate, has surfaced on Korean news sites. According to reports, LG's next roll of the tablet dice will feature true 4G connectivity with LTE, a middle-size 8.9-inch WXGA screen and a dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm processor. The tablet will drop the rear-facing dual-lens setup found on the original, cutting down from two five megapixel sensors to a single eight megapixel camera. The device [shown above, left] looks to be running a customized Honeycomb skin, apparently on version 3.1, although we hope to see an Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade a little further down the road. Prices? Dates? These are likely to remain closely guarded secrets for now, but you can grab a closer look in a second leaked shot after the break, or brave the full (Google-translated) report at the source.

StumbleUpon Gets Slightly Less Stumbly

 StumbleUpon, the venerable service for finding cool Web sites that has always emphasized serendipity over structure, is unveiling a major makeover tonight. The basic idea remains the same: You can find interesting sites, one after another, by pressing a Stumble button (and can recommend sites you like so other folks stumble upon them). But the StumbleUpon site and Web-based toolbar (now called the StumbleBar) have a new logo and a fresh coat of paint, and some new features make it easier to use StumbleUpon to wander around the Web in a slightly more organized fashion.

The service already had an “Explore an Interest” search option that let you enter a keyword and then stumble through sites that related to it. Now it’s much more prominent–it’s part of the StumbleBar, which it wasn’t before–thereby encouraging you to focus your stumbling if you choose. And the list of interests on the StumbleUpon home page is more prominent. Via Technologizer

New Apple TV To Come In 3 Sizes

Apple will launch their new Apple TV in time for the last quarter of 2012, with sources in Japan telling SmartHouse that 3 sizes are being planned including a 32" model and a 55" model.

The Apple TVs will incorporate a new processor that is set to appear in the iPad 3, which is due midway through 2012. A totally new software interface has been written that allows users to call up programs using voice commands via the new Siri personal assistant app built into the iPad, iPhone and directly into the TV.

 Sources at a major Japanese company who are involved in manufacturing the TV believe that the 55" model will compete with new Smart TVs from Samsung and LG that will have new processors built in while offering a combination of OLED display, as well as new Super HD TV technology from LG. 

In Australia manufacturers are banking on the new generation of Smart TVs combined with new content services from the likes of Telstra, as well as new display technology to drive sales.

 Tim Barnes, Senior Marketing Manager Entertainment at LG Electronics, believes that the attraction of first run movies and access to movies hitting DVD rental stores will drive sales.

"We will see new technology and a new generation of Smart TV launched at CES in January. These TVs will have 3D TV capability as well as new Smart TV capabilities. This will allow us to deliver a new generation of content from the likes of Telstra and other providers like Red Bull TV, while delivering a new viewing experience for consumers".

"If Apple does launch a new TV it will help us grow the Smart TV market in Australia with consumers upgrading to not only new TVs, but attach home theatre systems that will deliver for them a big movie experience".

The respected Piper Jaffray, Managing Director and Senior Research Analyst Gene Munster, said recently that Apple will launch a new TV offering called iTV in time for the US 2012 holiday season.

 However it is not known how Apple will go in the UK where there is already an ITV Company, there is also a web site called itv.com. Via SmartHouse

Meizu MX Gets Official, Coming In January 2012

We have been hearing quite a bit about the Meizu MX over the last few months, and Meizu has just confirmed that their latest Android smartphone will go on sale in China in January next year.

We now get to find out the final specifications on the device, it will come with Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread, although Meizu has said that it will get Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich at a later date.

Hardware wise, the Meizu MX features a dual core 1.4GHz Samsung Exynos 4210 processor, 1GB of RAM and a 4 inch ASV touchscreen display with a resolution of 960 x 640 pixels, plus an 8 megapixel camera and 16GB of built in storage.

The Meizu MX is expected top retail for around $470 when it goes on sale in China in January. Via GeekyGadgets

YouTube unveils biggest redesign in its history

The redesigned video site displays a single news feed in the centre of the homepage featuring videos that an individual’s friends have uploaded onto sister site Google+.

There is a channel feed on the left hand side of screen encouraging users to ‘subscribe’ to their favourite YouTube channels and shows – which could mean a major boost to TV networks and individuals who have their own channels on the site. And there are big Facebook and Google+ ‘buttons’ also in the left hand column so users can easily share and see content from the video site through to their choice of social network.

On the right hand side is a ‘Recommendations’ feed, which will suggest videos that users may like based on their current subscriptions and video-watching history. The overall feel of the new YouTube is more like a social network, rather than a linear video site.

The Google-owned video site has been trying to make in-roads into hosting as much professional content on the site, as well as user-generated content and encouraging users to set up channels. However, in the UK, apart from a landmark deal with Channel 4 and then Channel Five, few other content owners and broadcasters, have entered into full syndication deals with the site – instead preferring to set up their own channels on the site and control the distribution of their content themselves. Moreover, Google’s big push this year has been around cracking the social side of the web. Since launching Google+ just over 100 days ago, it has been trying to make sure of all of its web products, such as YouTube, Maps and Gmail, have a social element deeply embedded into each user experience.

YouTube’s facelift is the biggest in its six-year history. Via The Telegraph

Apple's request to block Samsung Galaxy tablet, phone sales in the US is denied

As the legal drama between Apple and Samsung drags on around the world, US District Court Judge has rejected Apple's request to block the sales of Galaxy devices. Reuters reports the ruling came out late Friday, with the judge deciding "It is not clear that an injunction on Samsung's accused devices would prevent Apple from being irreparably harmed,". This isn't the first rejection for the folks from Cupertino either, after a request to speed up the trial was also denied back in July. The case itself will of course go on, but this means you'll still be able to get your hands on those Galaxy Tabs, Galaxy S IIs, and the like in the meantime.

Update: While Apple has yet to comment on the ruling, Samsung has issued an official statement which you can check out after the break.

Test drive Windows Phone 7.5 on your iPhone or Android handset

Now you don't need to have a Windows Mobile phone in order to test drive Windows Phone 7.5 Mango. To let prospective customers get a tastes of the mobile OS, Microsoft has created a HTML 5-based demonstration designed specifically to be viewed using the mobile browser on the iPhone and Android handsets.

The demo is for the most part exactly the type of thing you would see on a sample unit in a store, with built-in dummy contacts, text messages, and photos you can navigate through to check out the interface. A small blue dot on the screen guides users through the demo and some of the unique features Windows Phone 7 has to offer.

The advantage of the service, of course, is that users can do all that navigation from their existing smartphone at their own pace without having to go to the store and battle other customers for some hands-on time with a Windows Phone handset, or deal with a pushy salesperson.

Windows Phone is currently trailing behind Apple and Android devices in the mobile marketplace, however, it is quickly picking up pace with more and more Windows Phone devices hitting the market. Nokia for instance, recently announced two newWindows Phone handsets, with plans to make the OS its primary focus in the smartphone market in the future.

You can check out the demo for yourself by pointing your mobile browser here.

If Facebook Made a Phone, Would You Friend It?

Why would you want to buy a "Facebook phone," if—as is widely rumored—one is under development? 

Here's why: if social networking is already the center of your online activity, a Facebook smart phone might be far easier to use. If a fraction of Facebook's 800 million users were to make the switch, they would represent a powerful market force.

The phone project was revealed in reports last week that said Facebook had forged a partnership with handset maker HTC and was planning to use a version of the Android operating system, which will be tweaked to integrate Facebook deeply into its services and will support HTML5 as a platform for mobile games and apps. The reports said the phone could take 12 to 18 months to reach market. Facebook is saying nothing about the project; a spokesman said the company would not comment on "rumor and speculation."

Already, Facebook's are among the most popular apps on most smart phones. The company says that its apps on different platforms have 350 million active mobile users. The problem Facebook confronts is that its product is not very deeply "integrated," in industry parlance, into the devices that people use socially every day to e-mail, send photos, and keep in touch with friends. It's just one of many apps people use.
