Hi guys, remember the Asus Eee Transformer Prime teardown? We promised you a closer look inside the chips and here you have it. Just check out the link in the bottom and you¨ll be taken to chipworks who have conducted some closer research on the silicon within this wondertablet.
There are many cool things to be uncovered at the CES, but it can sometimes be hard to find the awesome stuff in this jungle of technology. Anyway here is something that Engadget found, its basically a HUD which works by beaming lasers at glass containing a film of nanoparticles. The test version was a blue projector but they are also being developed in red, white and even dual blue and red. Whats so smart about it is it requires very little distance between the projector and the projection surface. The demo version you see in the video was only 3 feet from the image, which was still very clear. They say it can be used as a HUD in cars, and it accepts input from VGA, USB and memory cards!

Vincent Perriard is currently designing this high end watch that combines mechanical action and fluid measurement with the HYT H1. This hand-wound timepiece has a 65 hour power reserve and displays the time via pumping bellows that push bright green fluorescine past the time markers. A rendered video embedded after the break does more to explain how the watch works, but may not help you figure out its rumored $45k price tag.
Have a kindle? Is 1 weeks continuous battery life not enough? Do you want a fancy case with a built in LED light? Then you probably want one of these, a company called SolarMio has a solar-powered Kindle case with an 800 lux LED light. Pop the light out and it turns on, pop it back in and it’s off. here’s a 1,250mAh battery that can provide up to 50 hours of illumination when fully charged, and better yet, can also be used as backup power for your Kindle. It’s not clear how long charging takes but the company states that one hour of sunlight can give you three days of reading. Sounds pretty good eh?
It’s made from pleather and costs $80. Shipping will start January 14th. (more…)
