MeeGo fans will be happy to get a glimpse of MeeGo’s pre-release stock UI for devices. However just like Symbian, there’s no guarantee that the experience is going to be consistent across manufacturers. There’s a video apparently captured from an online survey that makes it seem like Nokia might be going in a different direction.

Some of the improvements include a powerful multitasking user interface, Ovi Store integration, updated music player, and more. Check out a video below to see what Nokia has been up to recently.

Yeah, this bot looks like Casper the friendly ghost. The Telenoid R1 comes from designer Hiroshi Ishiguro and just like Casper I’m sure he doesn’t mean to scare people, but he will. It’s the latest telepresence robot in Japan.

Weighing in at 11-lbs. the robot’s stubs, tail, eyes, mouth and limbs all move in synch with the user, thanks to 9 actuators. Facial expressions are transmitted to the robot through FaceAPI software, which tracks the eyes, mouth, and tilt of the head.

This guitar hero controller is perfect for the player that shuttles his instrument back and forth between home and various friends homes. The NEXiLUX wireless guitar controller breaks down into just a few pieces and fits neatly inside a bag.

It’s compatible with the PS3 or PS2, but you can also slide a Wii-mote inside of it and use it with your Wii. The makers also claim that it has more responsive fret buttons than the cheap controllers that ship with the games. If you prefer touch over buttons, there’s a set of five touch-sensitive fret buttons too.

The Samsung YP-MB2 iPod touch competitor has been making its way around the net, seen in blurry videos, but now the device is apparently getting close to being official. I mean, just look at this much clearer picture of the device.

Looking at the picture, it definitely resembles the Galaxy S, but there is no front-facing camera and proximity sensor. Looks like the YP-MB2 features a lower resolution camera, 3.2-megapixels. This one is expected to be announced on August 11th, and it should be offered in capacities from 8GB to 32GB.

If you haven’t yet picked up a dedicated GPS navigation system and live in Europe, then you might want to check out the Becker Traffic Assist Z215 GPS navigation system. It’s listed on Amazon for €267, although only on the German site with no confirmation on whether the Z215 will make its way to the US.

If it ever does, you can take advantage of its eco route software for the most fuel efficient route, letting you enter commands using speech. Aside from that, there’s also free lifetime traffic information, Navteq’s traffic patterns solution, a 3D navigation display with lane guidance and even buildings.

You wanna do some boxing with the PS Move, but you are worried about throwing the controller through your HDTV. Perfectly understandable. That’s where CTA Digital’s glove peripheral will help. It keeps the controller attached to your palm.

The Ultimate Boxing Gloves feature velcro pouches that will secure your Move controllers while you punch. There is also a second level of velcro security in the adjustable wrist straps, which make sure that both glove and controller don’t go flying.

Well, that didn’t take long. Amazon only announced the third generation Kindle last week, and started selling it, now it seems that this new lower priced Kindle has been extremely popular as it is now sold out until September. Both the WiFi and 3G models of the new Amazon Kindle are ‘temporarily sold out’ and new orders may not ship until the 4th of September 2010.

Obviously the big draw is the new price. The WiFi only model retails for $139 and a 3G model retails for $189 and the new Kindle is thinner and lighter than the previous model.

LG is aiming this one squarely at the young Generation Z mobile consumers in Korea. It’s called the LG Wink Series and it consists of the Wink, Wink Style and Wink 3G. All are full touchscreen display phones, targeting first time touch phone users with more versatile texting functionality, more music options, wider social networking support, and a customizable, user-friendly interface.

The LG Wink fits right into your palm with a 2.4″ display. The LG Wink Style has a 2.8″ LCD display and comes in a range of color options with accents on the front button panel. While the LG Wink 3G delivers quality data transmission and connectivity, making sure you remain connected with friends and family via push e-mail and social networking.

Windows 7 wasn’t exactly meant for tablet devices, but we are seeing it on tablets more often. Now Pegatron has their new MasterPad prototype tablet, measuring just 14mm thin with an 11.6″ IPS (In Plane Switching) display, running at 1,366 x 768 widescreen resolution.

Some other specifications include a 1.3-megapixel webcam with a microphone, USB ports, a memory card reader, an accelerometer, a mini-HDMI port, 3G and 32GB or 64GB SSD options. The body is magnesium and aluminum alloy. The 2-cell battery is a bit disappointing but hopefully the final product will better.

The Chevrolet Volt extended range electric vehicle is finally set to come to market. The car will carry a $41,000 sticker price. A lease on the Volt will go for $350 per month and the first year will see limited production.

Production will increase the next model year and Chevrolet has announced that by 2012 it will have increased production by 50% to 45,000 units. More units built and sold will help reduce the cost and hopefully that steep price will come down significantly.

Every once in a while a truly useful USB-powered device comes along, and this time it’s the USB Stapler Hub from Thanko. It retails for about $35 and is powered by 3 AAA batteries while also giving you a 4-port USB 2.0 hub.

Spare ports and a stapler all in one. It should save you some desk space on your office desk. You’ll be a stapling fool and all your office buddies will want one.

Why is it that the Japanese make so many robots and give them the creepiest designs they can find? What happened to robots that looked like robots? I’d be more comfortable talking to Robby the Robot than the creepy ass Telenoid R1.

This robot is so creepy it makes Gene Simmons look like a nice guy. The idea is that the blob-like android would be teleoperated and is the size of a small child and is used by kids to transmit their presence to grandparents and others that are far away.

Corning has been offering Gorilla Glass for years but the stuff has only become common in the mobile market over the last few years. We typically see Gorilla Glass used for smartphone screens like the iPhone 4.

Corning has announced that starting next year Gorilla Glass will find a new market. The glass will be used to protect HDTVs from scratches and breakage. This is great news for Wii players who won’t have to worry as much about killing the TV.

I bet that there are lots of people out there who see something and think man I wonder what would happened if I did this or that. Most of us never really do whatever it is that we are curious about, but there are a few folks who try out their wonders.

A guy has finally answered that question burning in my mind of what would happen if you tossed a brick in the washing machine after you hooked it up to what appears to be a more powerful engine. As the video starts the machine is already smoking and thrashing about with one brick in it.

WowWee’s robots are always awesome as fun companions, but they aren’t very useful for much else. Up until now that is. The company’s new Roboscooper will actually pick stuff up off your floor. Which means that this little guy will clean everything your Roomba can’t.

He takes six AAA batteries, so he can potentially do alot of cleaning. The catch is that it will only pick up small, one ounce objects, and its storage capacity is not very big. You can operate this guy in autonomous or remote-controlled mode. There’s also a “whack” mode, which makes this little bot swat objects out of his way.
