Remember when iRex single-handedly revolutionized the e-reader industry last fall? Remember “Seeing Is Believing?” We didn’t either, until the company reminded us of its continued existence with the announcement that it’s developing a new color e-book reader that uses subtractive color mixing to display text and images three times the brightness of existing displays. While this won’t be the first color e-ink tech we’ve laid our eyes on, the promise of print-quality color e-books is certainly tantalizing. Your move, Sony.

The Programmable Matter project unveiled by Intel in August last at the Intel Developer Forum is pretty incredible!

Programmable Matter allows you to materialize any object in the form of a spectrum 3D interactive and malleable at your request.

Imagine being able to email a 3D image to someone.

It’s not available yet, but Intel thinks that the transition from project to reality may be possible by only 5 to 10 years. I am thinking longer than this. Reminds me of Stargate Atlantis where they use nanobytes to create 3D items and people.

This thing’s been on quite a journey from concept to production, but here we are — finally, a true successor to Pantech’s quirky Duo on AT&T. The Matrix PRO features HSDPA (up from UMTS), integrated GPS with AT&T Navigator, Bluetooth, a 2 megapixel cam, Video Share support, and Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard, but the real draw lies in the device’s pair of sliders — one for QWERTY, one for digits. At nearly 23mm thick, it’s not the thinnest smartphone in the world — that honor supposedly belongs to the Nokia E55 — but where else are you going to get this many buttons on a single device? Pricing and availability are forthcoming.

Making use of a 103-inch Panasonic Plasma and a multitouch-capable overlay from U-Touch, British software developers UI Centric put together this awesome-looking table hockey demo that puts all other 103-inch, touch-based table games to shame. UI Centric created the game as a demo for the 2009 Integrated Systems Europe show in Amsterdam, which is for A/V and electronic systems integration, presumably for homes, blah blah blah. And I wish there was more to say on the matter, but aside from professing my love for virtual table hockey games, that’s about the extent of it.
