Foxconn is one of the largest manufacturers in the world, here they are showing a reference design for a 10″ capacitive multi-touch Nvidia Tegra 2 Powered Android tablet, which they could thus provide for brands that would want to sell these perhaps cheaper than the iPad all over the world. Although Foxconn is known to manufacture for Apple, and Apple is known to demand exclusivity on components, it is to be seen how keen Foxconn will be to provide capacitive touch screen tablets to the competition. When an eventual Apple ~10″ capacitive touch screen exclusivity might expire? When Google will finally announce official support for Marketplace and optimized features for tablets?

Forever Plus Corp Digital Microscope in a panda bear
Posted by – July 14, 2010
Forever Plus Corp is showing new easy to use USB microscopes, they come with drivers for Windows or Mac, a special software to capture pictures video from the microscope or to do stuff like measuring the size of very small thing. I think it is pretty awesome to have cheap digital microscopes to magnify very small things onto the computer monitor or onto a HDTV. I plan to use one of these in my video reviews when it might be relevant to magnify small parts of cool products.
