Holy Crap! *New Tech/Gadget Thread*
NWR_DrewMG:
I've been test driving the new iPhone 3.0 OS since it launched yesterday, and I'm really liking it. They made some changes to the way it plays podcasts (like a 30 second rewind button) which should really come in handy.

Actually no, I haven't.

I've read the Nokia article and I think it's moving in the right direction. I, however, think it would be way more useful if someone could come up with a way to harness sound waves rather than radio waves.
But I'm more interested in this: http://www.sciencentral.com/articles/view.php3?article_id=218392803
A long-lasting, quickly-charged, super battery could make this budding technology even more useful.

Wow, very interesting article. That clearly sounds much better than Nokias solution, and the fact that both teams seem to be shooting for the same time frame (for their ideas to hit market; 5 years) it'll be interesting to see how things unfold and what takes off.
My money would be on the new capacitor technology from your article, but who knows.

On TV a couple years ago I saw a British firm demonstrate a new material technology. It was originally intended to coat the blades of helicopters to help silence them when activated by an electrical current, but it ended up doing the opposite: it made audio. So we have a thin surface material that's basically a paper-thin speaker. The applications they had for it were pretty awesome: turning cell phone screens into the speakers themselves, laptop screens, and whatever mostly unused flat surfaces you can think of. I was hoping to see this technology in mobile phones this year, but I guess it's not ready yet.

Wow imagine an iPhone where the whole screan is a speaker... I'm sure Apple is and i'm sure they'll try to keep other manufacturers from using that in their devices with some sorta stupid patent like they did with touch controls on the iphone ;)
