Live photos of an unannounced Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread-running LG Univa E510 just surfaced on the web.

Hands-On With Sony's New Wedge-Shaped Tablet S

Still got tablet fever. Somebody must, because they just keep coming. Sony unveiled the final versions of its two new Android tablets Wednesday. These are the same two devices we saw last month — the curvy, wedge-shaped full-sized tablet is now called the Sony Tablet S, and the dual-screen tablet that folds up into a pocket-sized burrito is now called the Sony Tablet P.

The Tablet S will land in stores this September, priced at $500 for a 16GB version and $600 for the 32GB version. The Tablet P will arrive closer to the end of the year, and pricing on that one is still up in the air.

The Minimal Multitouch Mutewatch

The Mutewatch is like an iPod Nano, without the annoying iPod part. You know those silicone armbands that turn the touch-screen iPod Nano into an oversized watch. Imagine that you could have one of those, only without the Nano, and for €200 instead of €150.
You have now successfully imagined the Mutewatch, a watch named (presumably) for the silence that will gush from friends and coworkers when you tell them how much you paid for it.

The Mutewatch is actually pretty cool: Its face is a multitouch display.

BMW begins testing autonomous car tech on highways

Automakers are always looking to push the boundaries with experimental technology, but BMW seems to be ahead of the curve with respect to autonomous vehicles. Previously, BMW was sticking to closed circuits to show off its TrackTrainer. Now, however, the German automaker is venturing out on to public roads, and it's doing so with an automated 5 Series fitted with advanced ConnectedDrive technology. The system is enabled with a push of a button, once a driver has reached a highway. After it's allowed to work its technical sorcery, the ConnectedDrive system takes over acceleration and braking duty.

Izon Spy Camera Streams Video to iOS Devices

Monitor the baby, or make a celebrity-style sex tape. You decide. Photo credit Stem Innovation. Izon is a “remote room monitor” which beams video across the Internet and onto the screen of your iPad, iPhone or iPod. It might also be described by a more cynical person than myself as a kind of lifestyle spy camera.

The Izon is a white plastic stick which swivels on its dome-shaped magnetic base to be easily pointed at whatever you want to spy on. Then, when away from home or office, you can dial in via a companion app and enjoy a live stream of whatever is going on.

AT&T's HTC Holiday Now Known As The Raider?

We all saw this coming. Its a very common occurrence where a phone’s name will change right before its release and the HTC Holiday will be no stranger to this. According to this user agent profile obtained by PocketNow, the HTC Holiday will now be known as the HTC Raider which we saw HTC recently apply for a trademark not too long ago. Sounds like a pretty cool name to me but that title too, will likely change once this 4G LTE enabled device is finally released on AT&T. Internally, AT&T is calling this device the Waikiki but there’s no way that will stick if AT&T knows what’s good for them.

Sony Inviting Canadian Consumers to Sony Tablet S (S1) Event in Toronto Mid-September

If the Sony S1 – Sony's first Honeycomb tablet (the 10.1 inch single display model) – interests your pique even a little bit, Sony's willing to let you into their main Canadian offices to check the tablet out at a “Customer VIP” invite-only event. The event takes places September 14th and 15th. The tablet isn't all that exotic put up against contenders – it has a 1GHz dual-core processor, Android 2.3, a 10.1 inch display and more. It will be unique, though, thanks to the ergonomically-designed form factor and its Playstation Certification. I know I can't be the only one excited to hear more about this.

Space Invader Couch

Designer Igor Chack has designed something that our geeky eyes could not miss: a Space Invader Couch. Named Retro Alien Couch, possibly to avoid troubles with Taito, the couch is said to feature all fine leather and memory foam cushions. We haven't seen one, let alone tested it with our own behinds, but at the very least, we find the idea to be very appealing to a certain category of customers. The designer says that the customer can choose the color, but this will probably cost an extra.

Rumor: iPhone 5 to have a metal chassis and a 3.5-3.7-inch screen after all

Thanks to what numerous rumors have told us so far, we've been working under the assumption that Apple's upcoming iPhone 5 will have a 4-inch display. However, that may not be the case after all, according to (what else?) yet another iPhone-related rumor, this time coming courtesy of DigiTimes. Apparently, the iPhone 5 having a 4-to-4.2-inch touchscreen wasn't something based in facts, rather representing nothing else than the market's expectations regarding the smartphone.

Microsoft making file copying better in Windows 8

One of the great things about GUI operating systems is dealing with file management. While some of us from the old days became pretty good at shuffling files around via the command line, seeing graphical representations of files and dragging and dropping them made things much faster and easier. Microsoft has changes planned for the way Windows 8 handles the copying and moving of files. Microsoft cites add-ons TeraCopy, FastCopy, and Copy Handler as software it has looked at for file copying.

MIT's folding CityCar takes a spin on video, still no room for humans

The MIT Media Lab has been working on a folding, stackable electric vehicle for quite a few years now, but it seems those have at least been fairly productive years, as the so-called CityCar has now finally progressed to something resembling a finished prototype. The only problem for those eager to hop into one is that it's a half-sized prototype, which makes accommodating a driver just a tad difficult. It does do a fairly good job of folding itself up though, and MIT expects a full-size version to go into production in 2013.

SignalGuru uses a smartphone camera to help you manage traffic lights, save fuel

Nothing burns fuel (or patience) faster than stop and go traffic, something MIT researchers are hoping to minimize with SignalGuru. The smartphone-based system commands you to slow down or speed up based on whether the light is green, yellow or red to help avoid gas-guzzling activities like idling and accelerating - reducing fuel consumption by 20 percent. Unlike Audi's Travolution system that relies on WiFi and 3G to communicate with traffic lights, this latest development uses your smartphone's camera to detect signal status and create a Green Light Optimal Speed Advisory (GLOSA), which will predict and learn traffic light patterns.

Verizon HTC ThunderBolt 4G now just $0.01 with contract at Amazon

The HTC ThunderBolt 4G was Verizon's first 4G LTE smartphone. Since its release, we've seen it discounted by Amazon a number of times. Prices ranged from $179.99 to $129.99 and even $99.99. However, Amazon now offers the ThunderBolt 4G for the best price of all: free.
Well, almost. You will have to pay one penny (so yeah, $0.01) for the device. But that's (literally) a small price to pay if you'd like to take advantage of great data speeds on your phone.

As you may have expected, you do have to agree to sign a new two-year contract with Verizon in order to get the phone at that price.
