OLPC: This is going to be a hot item, once the word gets out.
dSLR: Did you hear about Kodak's new camera? It has a lifetime warranty.
LTE W7Phone: Everything chosen is less than second rate. Sad decine.
Lenovo X1: Thunderbolt is similar to USB3. 10Gbps data and display connections over a single cable.
Pico Projector: How bright it is (Lumens) makes all the difference unless you're in a dark room with a pure white backdrop.
LG/GoogleTV: About time...MacTV up next(!?).

Aw heck, can't wait till Google buys Apple. We already have Google Apps...not that far off since they both end in LE.

I wonder if you could put a solar panel under an LCD screen so it would take an advantage of just lying there and work with no or a little battery?

Ever since DuPont announced its OLED printing process I have been eagerly awaiting the first displays and the feast for the eyes the displays promise. So its with no small amount of irony that what we will see betrays an underlying lack of vision. Yet another American developed manufacturing technique given away to Chinese factories with no attempt at all to make it here. Standing on the shoulders of giants we are becoming giant killers.
