But since a good news never comes alone, these new glasses also comes with a new battery offering you up to 3h worth of 3D just after 2 minutes of charge or a total of 25h of 3D if fully charged for 30 minutes.

New Lithium Battery Tech Can Stand the Heat
Like UnlikeLi-Ion batteries were a massive technological step forward from NiMH cells but were not without faults of their own—like their tendency to explode. A new Lithium-Imide technology from Leyden Energy, however, send Lithium-Ion the way of NiMH.
The problem with traditional Li-Ion batteries is that they're very susceptible to both heat degradation, wherein high temperatures generated by your quad-core, overclocked CPU's cause the electrodes in the battery react with the electrolyte resulting in diminished charge capacity, and to moisture, which reacts with the salts in the electrolyte itself to create Hydrochloric acid. Being some of the most caustic stuff on Earth, Hydrochloric acid eats throug...

Mass production of Intel ultrabooks slated for September
Like UnlikeFiled in: NotebooksIntel
Acer, ASUS, Dell, Lenovo and HP will begin to mass produce Intel-powered ultrabooks in September, on schedule for a second-half launch, DigiTimes reported on Tuesday. ASUS’ UX21 ultrabook will be the first such device to market, despite reports to the contrary that HP would release its device before ASUS. Instead, HP’s ultrabook may not launch until the fourth quarter or early next year, a far cry from the original rumored August launch date. Models from Acer and Dell could be late to the market, too, due to slower than expected panel production. Intel introduced its ultrabook roadmap in May and hopes the devices, which will be powered by the company’s latest Core processors and 22nm Ivy Bri...

Samsung Galaxy S II with WiMAX stops by the FCC on its way to Sprint
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S II
This Sprint-bound Galaxy S II already posed for one candid and now it also appears to have made a tour of the FCC's testing facilities. Packing CDMA and WiMAX radios, along with a design that matches the leak and and an appropriate model number (SPH-D710), this definitely appears to be the Within we were expecting. So far the only additional clue teased from the FCC documents comes from Wireless Goodness which points out it's 5mm taller and 3mm wider than Euro-spec Galaxy S IIs, but feel free to click the source link and look for yourself.

T-Mobile responds to Sen. Al Franken's recommendation against AT&T merger
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesT-MobileAT&T
Minnesota Senator Al Franken sent a letter to the heads of the Federal Communications Commission and the Department of Justice earlier this week, stating that AT&T’s proposed $39 billion acquisition of T-Mobile USA was not in the best interest of the American public. “The competitive effects of a merger of this size and scope will reverberate throughout the telecommunications sector for decades to come and will affect consumer prices, customer service, innovation, competition in handsets and the quality and quantity of network coverage. These threats are too large and too irrevocable to be prevented or alleviated by conditions,” Franken wrote. The Minnesota democrat also said that the deal c...

UK: Samsung Galaxy Tab Android 2.3 updates rolling out as we speak
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsTabletsSamsungGoogleGALAXY TabAndroid 2.3
As expected, Samsung has started rolling out Android 2.3 Gingerbread updates for the Galaxy Tab in the UK. We’re not sure whether everyone can get it at the moment, but as far as we know, it requires Samsung’s Kies software for the update process to take place. That said, it’s safe to bet over-the-air updates will follow shortly.
You’re most likely already familiar with all the software changes included in Gingerbread; they are worth repeating, nonetheless. Among the things you should expect are improved power management capabilities, better Copy/Paste, support for SIP-based VoIP calls, downloads management and so on.
As usual, we advise you to backup your most important information like con...

Acer moving to the cloud, woos talent from HTC, Asus, Pegatron
Like UnlikeFiled in: ASUSAcerHTC
Acer seems to be relatively quiet on the mobile front recently, but that silence might be of the eery type just before a storm – the company has sacked its chief executive officer in March and since then has been stepping up its R&D and smartphone and tablet effort. Just a couple of days ago, Acer set up a new global research and development center in Chongqing, China, pouring some $4 million into future software and services. In addition, the Taiwanese manufacturer is rumored to be looking to acquire California-based cloud-service provider iGware for $320 million. The deal envisages a new cloud service integrated into the company's software. Acer Cloud, as it could be called, is expected to...

Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsMotorolaVerizon WirelessXOOM
The Motorola Xoom, the very first device to run Google’s tablet version of Android known as Honeycomb, hit store shelves on February 24th of this year. When Verizon announced it, they said that at some point in the future, most likely during the summer, customers will be able to get a free hardware upgrade that adds support for 4G LTE. Such an upgrade will require that you send your Xoom in for modification, and it’ll take up to a week to perform the necessary labor. To say Xoom owners have been impatient with regards to finding out when this free upgrade program would begin would be an understatement. The situation didn’t exactly improve when earlier this week Verizon announced that they’d ...
