CTL's 2Go Pad Is a 10.1" Windows 7 Tablet, Ready To Rival iPad
CTL. Ever heard of 'em. Probably not, but these days, it's not surprising to hear that a company you've never known existed is making a tablet to compete with the iPad. Everyone's trying it at this point, and it looks as if Samsung's Galaxy Tab has been dubbed the main competition thanks to deals with four U.S. carriers. But not everyone wants a tablet tied to a data contract, and the 2go Pad is definitely aiming for the market that doesn't. This slick new device is available to pre-order now, and it features

Quantum Computing Within Reach Thanks To UK Researchers
If you're reading this site, chances are you have heard of Moore's Law. You may have even heard of the law of diminishing returns. Or perhaps you've heard that fast is never fast enough, and big is never big enough. But have you heard of quantum computing? Most people hear that phrase and simply think of some science fiction movie that they have seen in the past. But outside of Hollywood fantasies, it rarely has any real meaning for the average consumer. That's mostly because quantum computing is still a pipe

GV Mobile + Google Voice App Returns to the App Store
It's back, after what developer Sean Kovacs called "a year and a half of being sick." It's GV Mobile + and it's back in the App Store. Last year, Apple purged all Google Voice-enabled apps from the App Store. Recently, after Apple published its App Store guidelines, developers noted that their GV-enabled apps did not violate any of those policies, and thus re-submitted themselves. It wasn't a race, but in terms of the first GV app to re-reach the App Store, it was GV Connect, not GV Mobile + that did so. Of

Eurocom's 17.3" X7200 Panther 2.0 Gaming Notebook Has HDMI 1.4 Input
Eurocom is a name synonymous with high-end, cutting-edge machines. It's also a company that rarely makes anything that's truly "portable." Without a doubt, the company's calling card is their high-end gaming notebooks, and the machines they make are about as close as you can get to having desktop power within a notebook. The new X7200 Panther 2.0 is no different. It's a powerful new laptop that just so happens to be the world's first notebook with an HDMI 1.4 input port. HDMI 1.4 is the latest version of the

Eurocom's 17.3" X7200 Panther 2.0 Gaming Notebook Has HDMI 1.4 Input
Eurocom is a name synonymous with high-end, cutting-edge machines. It's also a company that rarely makes anything that's truly "portable." Without a doubt, the company's calling card is their high-end gaming notebooks, and the machines they make are about as close as you can get to having desktop power within a notebook. The new X7200 Panther 2.0 is no different. It's a powerful new laptop that just so happens to be the world's first notebook with an HDMI 1.4 input port. HDMI 1.4 is the latest version of the protocol, which fully supports 3D. The Panther 2.0 can be customized in pretty much every way imaginable, but the company suggests using a 6-core Intel Core i7-980X Extreme Edition or a Xeon 5600 Series processor to really feel the speed.
Customers can choose from a variety of NVIDIA GPUs (GTX 480M, GTX 470M or GTX 460M single or dual/SLI operation and Quadro FX series card), so the only limits on how high your frame rates will climb is your budget. It also supports up to 3.25TB of storage across four physical hard drives (available in RAID 0/1/5/10) and up to 24GB of DDR3-1600 memory.
The HDMI 1.4 output and input means that you could actually plug a Blu-ray player or gaming console into the notebook and use it's internal LCD for playback. Talk about flexibility. And since it has a massive 17.3" panel, you won't be lacking for screen real estate. Pricing will vary wildly depending on your configuration, but you should be able to start customizing your own starting immediately.
EUROCOM X7200 Panther 2.0 is the world’s first notebook with an HDMI 1.4 Input port!
Eurocom is the world’s first notebook manufacturer to offer an HDMI 1.4 Input port in a notebook. Eurocom is currently offering HDMI 1.4 I/O port in the new Panther 2.0 Mobile Workstation.

2)Â HDMI 1.4 Specifications
A major innovation with the Panther 2.0 is the introduction of an HDMI 1.4 input port, making the Panther 2.0 the first to have this feature.
Having HDMI 1.4 in and out ports increases the functionality of the Panther 2.0 exponentially. Now it can be used for many Video and Audio production, editing, recording and viewing purposes. HDMI has always been a great interface for the high speed transfer and streaming of video.
HDMI 1.4 has added a few new features:
- Transfers video in 3D. HDMI 1.4 supports several stereoscopic 3D formats including field alternative (interlaced), frame packing (a full resolution top-bottom format), line alternative full, side-by-side half, side-by-side full, 2D + depth, and 2D + depth + graphics + graphics depth.
- HDMI 1.4 incorporates a dedicated Ethernet Channel enabling high speed, bi-directional networking at up to 100 Mb/sec. This consolidates video, audio and data in a single cable.
- HDMI 1.4 has added an Audio Return Channel which enables a device to send audio data upstream to an A/V receiver, thus eliminating the need for an S/PDIF audio connection. LipSync functionality ensures the audio stays in sync with the video.
- Transfers video in 4k x 2k Resolution (4096x2160p24). This adds support for extremely high video resolutions, 4000 lines wide by 2000 lines high. Putting your home theatre system on par with cinema projectors.
- HDMI 1.4 introduces a new micro connector for small portable devices, which allows cell phones, cameras and other small devices the ability to transfer video just like any other video device.
3)Â Benefits of HDMI 1.4 Input in the EUROCOM Panther 2.0
Many other manufacturers have included HDMI output ports on their Workstations in the past. However, Eurocom is the first to provide both HDMI out and HDMI in 1.4 ports in EUROCOM Panther 2.0 and offer this via Modular HDMI interface allowing for upgradeability to future HDMI standards and ensures a long lifespan of the notebook.
Eurocom is the market leader in Mobile Workstations, therefore adding new technologies into new EUROCOM models is standard practise. Eurocom is targeting specific vertical market with its HDMI in based Panther 2.0, specifically:

GV Mobile + Google Voice App Returns to the App Store
It's back, after what developer Sean Kovacs called "a year and a half of being sick." It's GV Mobile + and it's back in the App Store.Last year, Apple purged all Google Voice-enabled apps from the App Store. Recently, after Apple published its App Store guidelines, developers noted that their GV-enabled apps did not violate any of those policies, and thus re-submitted themselves. It wasn't a race, but in terms of the first GV app to re-reach the App Store, it was GV Connect, not GV Mobile + that did so.
Of course, the link to GV Mobile + may or may not work for you as yet: it's propagating globally across iTunes servers. You might want to start Tweeting about it, though. Kovacs said on his blog that "I’ll be blowing away some promo codes via Twitter (@seankovacs) once I get them AND if #gvmobile trends on Twitter, I’ll set that bad boy to free for the night."
GV Mobile + is $2.99 on the App Store, just as GV Connect is. Nothing against GV Connect, but we can attest that GV Mobile + was probably the best non-official GV app when it was last in the App Store. This is not the same app that was around then, however. GV Mobile + has been in the Cydia market for jailbroken iPhones since being booted last year.

Crestron iPanel Converts iPad Into Ultimate Home Remote Control
There have been tons of apps and accessories produced for the iPad in just a few short months, many of which are truly ground-breaking. But few have added on functionality quite like this new Crestron iPanel. It's the just snap-on panel designed specifically for use with the iPad. Crestron is a well-known name in home automation, but usually they prefer to sell users Crestron controllers to control Crestron devices. The iPanel breaks away from that by letting consumers use the iPad they already own, but with a little bit of Crestron help.
The device is set to debut officially soon at CEDIA, where it will snap onto the iPad and connect via the Dock Connector. Then, it will use Wi-Fi to transmit button presses to your other Crestron equipment. Note that this isn't a screen overlay; users will still have total control over the iPad's touchscreen, so you really are adding extra functionality (although adding a bit of bulk around the edges). Final details have yet to be ironed out, but it's clear that this iPanel could be a real home entertainer's dream when used in combination with their favorite home controlling apps. It just might be the ultimate remote control. Agree? Disagree? Too bad we don't know a price point, but we hear the company is aiming for under $500. Steep, but not too steep when you consider the price range of other Crestron controllers.
