Jeans made with transparent pockets save you the trouble of pulling out your phone

All handset owners have had to live through the scenario where they need to access their phone to get a quick look at the time or check the score of that big game. Whatever the reason, you need to take your phone out of your jeans pocket where it is stuffed in with a shoe horn, and what a hassle that is! And if you're watching something that changes often like an NBA game or the stock market, it means continuously reaching for the phone. 

With these jeans, you no longer have to keep pulling the phone out of your pocket

One jeans manufacturer has the solution. The Delta415 Wearcom jeans are the latest in fashion for the smartphone user. The jeans have a transparent pocket that is covered by a piece of cloth that zips closed. So instead of reaching into the pocket to grab your phone, you unzip the cloth and can use the touchscreen right through the transparent material. This would be the perfect jeans to wear for those taking a big test, but then again, we don't want to condone cheating.

The Delta415 Wearcom jeans are available for $160 and the inspiration for them is said to have come from the pockets on a fighter pilot's G-suit. According to the manufacturer, the jeans are made from coated, 100% cotton premium denim and the transparent pocket is made of durable polymer film, allowing you to use the touchscreen on any phone.  There is even a hole that lets you thread the wires from your headphones into the right pant pocket.

In high crime areas, like New York City where Apple iPhone robberies are on the rise, you can hide your phone in the jeans and still sneak a peek when needed. If you are interested in ordering the jeans, just click on the sourcelink.

Microsoft Surface shows Apple could be wrong

In one sense, Microsoft has succeeded already, by demonstrating that there is a third paradigm: a transformable tablet.
That alone strikes me as a very intentional rebuttal of the Apple argument that a laptop and tablet is a "forced" convergence. (Tim Cook).
And Steve Jobs knocked the idea before that, saying it was "ergonomically terrible" and "we've done tons of user testing on this, and it turns out it doesn't work."
Well, Microsoft showed us Monday that it could work. That's all I (and consumers) need to see.
But wait. What about other decent Windows 8 hybrids? Asus' Taichi is interesting. And Lenovo's Yoga is nice too.
But those are laptops first, tablets second.
After all, hybrids are all about the keyboard. And maybe Microsoft is simply showing us that keyboards need to change in a big way for convergence to work.
(A more ominous take-away is that Microsoft is putting the PC industry on notice. Follow our lead or become irrelevant. But that's another post for another day.)
Asus Taichi is cool. But not as cool as Microsoft's Surface.

Of course the burden is still on Microsoft to deliver. (Dare I mention the need for lots of apps?)
But if Surface begins to catch on, then Microsoft will have one-upped Apple.
And that's a good thing. Somebody out there in PC land should be able to prove that Apple is wrong once in a while.

Tactus touchscreen shows off bizarre pop-up physical buttons



A touchscreen-crafting company has created a new type of display that sees physical buttons bubbling out of the usually-flat surface.
US-based Tactus reckons its blistering screen adds no extra thickness to standard touch-sensitive panels, as it replaces an existing layer within regular touchscreens.
That thin layer deforms to create buttons or shapes of a certain height, size and even firmness. "Users can feel, press down and interact with these physical buttons just like they would use keys on a keyboard," Tactus promises. Once dismissed, the buttons become flat again.
Tactus boss Craig Ciesla says the company got started in 2007, looking at the first iPhone, but wanting to preserve the physical feel of a BlackBerry's Qwerty keyboard.
Tactus has shown off the tech running on a prototype Android tablet. I can see it proving popular, especially when it comes to playing games on a touchscreen gadget -- a common complaint is that on-screen buttons offer none of the physical feedback gamers get from a traditional gamepad.
The company isn't limiting its scope to smart phones and tablets, also mentioning ebook readers, remote controls, vehicle displays and medical devices as potential recipients of its bubbling panel.
Existing mobiles try to offer some physical feedback by vibrating a tiny bit when you tap on-screen keys. That helps, but I know some people who don't like the sensation, which does make holding a smart phone feel like cradling a terrified mouse.
Those days may soon be behind us. Tactus says its first touchscreen will be ready in the middle of 2013.

Pocket TV: an Android 4.0 ICS micro-computer the size of your thumb


Android Pocket TVWhen thinking about the size and volume of today’s smartphones, most of the ever-shrinking space inside them is occupied by two major components: the battery and the display. Taking into context the impressive processing power that smartphones are able to harness, one might wonder exactly how much space does the processing hardware take up? As it turns out, not a lot more than your thumb, as it reigns obvious from one of the most impressive Kickstarter projects that I’ve had the pleasure to encounter: the Pocket TV.
Personally, I find the name to be a little bit confusing, as the Pocket TV is actually an Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich based micro-computer, one that is able to perform any of the tasks regularly accomplished by an Android smartphone or tablet, with one major difference: the visual content can be rendered on any TV with a standard HDMI port.
Once your Pocket TV is connected to a TV (I told you the name is a bit confusing), the latter is instantly transformed into a fully functional (not to mention extremely large) Android tablet. You can stream videos from YouTube, Amazon and Hulu, stream music from the web (or from your home network drive), play games such as Temple Run and Angry Birds, check your Facebook and Twitter feeds, stream on-demand news, edit documents, browse the web or have some fun with Google Maps. Basically, the pocket TV will be able to render any app from the Google Play store on your junky size TV.
Android Pocket TV Size
As your TV surely doesn’t feature a touchscreen, the Pocket TV can be controlled with one of the two available remote controls: the Standard IR Remote (one that looks and works a lot like your regular TV remote) or the Air Remote, featuring a gyroscopic sensor that allows you to control the Pocket TV much like a Nintendo Wii controller. In addition, you can program your universal TV remote to work with Pocket TV, or even use your Android smartphone to control the Pocket TV via the dedicated app.
Ok, so now that we know a little bit about the way Pocket TV works, let’s take a quick look at the hardware contained in the impressively small device:
  • 1GHz ARM Cortex A9 CPU
  • Mali-400 MP GPU
  • 512MB RAM
  • 4GB internal memory (expandable via microSD card slot)
  • Runs on Android 4.0 ICS
  • Connectivity: WiFi, Bluetooth (soon), USB 2.0, HDMI 1.3
  • Dimensions: 86 x 31 x 14 mm
  • Weight 35 grams
The Pocket TV team is currently finalizing the software development and first devices should start shipping in October to the first 200 people who have pre-ordered their Pocket TV. As a Kickstarter project, the Pocket TV needs to raise $100k before they can actually start the manufacturing stage. Fortunately though, the team was already able to raise nearly $85k at the date of this article.
Since we’re on the money topic, the early bird special offers for the Pocket TV allow you to pre-order your unit for as low as $99 (for the Pocket TV + IR remote) or $119 (for the Pocket TV + One Air Remote). Any way you look at it, these deals provide great value for your money. For more pricing information, please check out the official Pocket TV page at Kickstarter.com.
What do you guys make of the Pocket TV? It is definitely a unique device but do you find it useful as well? I sure do, so feel free to make me look bad in the comment section below!
P.S. We have contacted the developers of Pocket TV for a short interview so if you’ve got anything you would like us to ask them, make sure you let us know!
