Toshiba has just unveiled their ZX900 Series CELL TV, so named for its powerful CELL Engine which has 143 times the processing power available in current TV models. What exactly are they using all that power for? Well, with the Toshiba CELL you’ll be able to watching everything in 3D. That’s right, when true 3D content isn’t available CELL TV’s TriVector 2D to 3D Conversion takes any 2D content and converts it into 3D in real time — games, movies, sports, TV shows, whatever.
If that hasn’t sufficiently blown your mind, CELL TV is also a high-end Home Entertainment Server with a built-in 1TB HDD, BD Player, and 802.11n wireless. Content can be downloaded from the Internet, transferred from your PC, or recorded directly onto the HDD from the BD Player. Furthermore, the companion CELL Set-Top Box connects to the display without any wires. Net TV content will include Netflix, VUDU, CinemaNow, Pandora and more. And there’s video phone capability.
The CELL ZX900 Series is the first CELL TV Series, and will be available in large 55″ and 65″ screen sizes. This two piece system features a sleek Set-top Box, and a display in the new Genesis Design with a black brushed aluminum bezel with acrylic trim.

Optoma unveiled their newest series home projection systems, the Game Time projector series. According to Optoma, the Game Time projectors were designed specifically with interactive gaming in mind. The two new projectors are the GT360 and the GT720, and both feature 2,500 lumens, 3,000:1 contrast ratios, built-in stereo speaker systems, and short-throw lenses to accommodate smaller room configurations. The GT360, Optoma says, is designed with the Nintendo Wii in mind, with a native SVGA resolution of 800 x 600. The GT360 is capable of accepting and processing full 1080p HD signals from other sources, but the resolution output remains limited to 800 x 600. On the other hand, the GT720 is geared toward the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 with a higher native widescreen resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels. Like the GT360, the GT720 can accept full 1080p sources, but again, the resolution is locked in at the native 1280 x 800 resolution. Aside from the slight bump in resolution, the only discernible differences between the two projectors are their color schemes; the GT360 comes in white, while the GT720 is available in black.
As for the 3D-readiness of the projectors, both are DLP, which means they are capable of 3D playback, however, the functionality of their 3D capability is dependent largely on a user’s input sources.
The GT360 and the GT720 will arrive this March and will be priced at $499 and $699 respectively.

Check out the video below. A group of people strapped their iPhone 3GS to an RC plane and took off. The footage is amazing and the quality of the iPhone 3GS continues to amaze me every day.
Can you draw? If your like me you can only draw a few things well. Perhaps one the most difficult things to draw is yourself, and we all have to go down that path at one point in our school lives, very few can master it. Well what if you could draw yourself without moving a muscle, sounds ridiculous rite? Jen Hui Liao’s Self Portrait Machine will take a picture of you, and all you have to do is strap your hands in and let it do the work. You will literally start to see yourself appear! It’s amazing! Check out the images below, I am amazed at it’s quality.
Shown in the picture above (Click To Enlarge), Alex Lindsay and his team have thrown together a shoulder mount for the iPhone 3GS. Clearly these guys have allot of time on their hands *giggles*, the shoulder mount features a Shotgun Mic, Light Panels Micro, Beach Tech Box, Pro Red Rocks Shoulder Mount and Follow Focus. Although there are some bugs still to work out, this thing looks like allot of fun, both to use and make. Though, I don’t think we will be seeing these in the Apple Store any time soon.
