Now that the Nintendo 3DS is announced using a parallax barrier display, we bet that many of you were hoping to see a 10-inch 3D tablet or laptop with a similar glasses-less display. Hell, we were…
Apple CEO Steve Jobs’ obsessive focus on design detail is at least partially responsible for why the tech sphere and the design sphere are so intertwined at the moment. Which makes the ire that Jobs has received for the current iTunes 10 logo (not to mention the foibles of Ping ) particularly poignant. The universal hatred for this thing has spawned an @BPGlobalPR-esque Twitter account , some pretty impressive suggestions of alternate logos over on design collaboration site Dribbble , and an email to Jobs himself
Last week we gave the Apple loyalists in attendance a chance to rip and rag the iPhone 4 , and this time around we’re doing the same for Motorola’s best frienemies. The Droid X is without question the largest Droid in the family today, and calling it a showstopper on Verizon would probably be understating things. Now that it’s been on the market a few months, we’re curious to know how you early adopters like (or dislike) it.
The Obama administration back in January promised $8 billion in funding for cities and states to build high-speed, intercity rail projects .

And here it is, Panasonic’s prototype G-series micro-four-thirds shooter with new interchangeable 3D lens . We caught the pair hanging out at IFA with nary a soul around to take notice. Too bad for them, good for you if you’ve made the jump to a panny MFT as the lens will ultimately be compatible with your Lumix G micro system…
The SD Card Association (truth be told, one of our favorite card-related associations) has a new spec in the works that will almost triple the speed of its SDHC and SDXC cards, according to CNET . The specification, which should be complete Q1 next year, will achieve 300MB per second by adding a second row of electrical contacts on the bottom face of the card, and will be backward compatible with older, slower devices. Although being referred to internally as SD 4.0, brand names for the technology are still being considered — with UHS-II (the successor to UHS-I ultra-high speed bus cards) as one possibility.

The CDMA-equipped Samsung Galaxy Tab has so far been nothing more than a sticker in a random snapshot and some whispers about Verizon , but Boy Genius Report is saying that the Tab’s also bound for Sprint ’s network this November, on both its 3G and 4G (i.e. WiMAX ) network —
