Toshiba teases Android Honeycomb tablet

We had an early look at the Toshiba Android Honeycomb tablet at CES 2011 but the company has now put up a teaser site for this unnamed device.
The site has a Flash-y intro which shows off all the features. This includes a 10-inch screen with 720p resolution and ambient light sensors to adjust the screen brightness, a 5-megapixel rear camera, a front-facing camera for video calling, SD card slot, USB port, HDMI out, headphone jack, NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, GPS, motion sensors and more.
Even though it isn’t needed with the tablet version of the software, the Toshiba Android Honeycomb tablet will have the four standard Android buttons on the bezel. We haven’t been able to dive into the latest version of the little, green robot to know if these standard buttons are even needed anymore.
Other than that, the Toshiba Android Honeycomb tablet teaser page doesn’t reveal much more than we didn’t know: this device is poised to be a killer tablet in 2011. The lack of an official name is a little disturbing when you consider this device will be “coming this sprint,” but we definitely can’t wait to get our hands on this bad boy.
The Toshiba Android Honeycomb tablet ranked high on our list of most-anticipated tablets of 2011 but it didn’t quite capture the top spot. In fact, it was only in the seventh slot as the iPad 2, Galaxy Tab 2, PlayBook, webOS device and a few others ranked ahead.
Still, I’m starting to think that this Toshiba Android Honeycomb tablet can be a dark horse in 2011, as the specs look out of this world, the look and feel of the device are very impressive and, hopefully, the software should run like butter. One thing is for sure, we will soon have a wealth of options to choose from so you can look for IntoMobile to let you know what we think is worth the cash.

The StumbleUpon engine then passes on recommendations from users whose interests seem similar to yours. Hit the Stumble button and you’ll get a random page that the engine thinks you’ll like. The more you like or dislike its recommendations, the more these random pages will surprise and delight. Device : iPhone , iPad , Android 2. iReddit Reddit is a self-described social news website where users vote for their favorite stories, pictures or posts from other users, then argue vehemently over their meaning in the comments section. In recent years, it has gained readers as its competitor Digg has lost them.

‘Wireless’ humans could backbone new mobile networks

People could form the backbone of powerful new mobile internet networks by carrying wearable sensors. The sensors could create new ultra high bandwidth mobile internet infrastructures and reduce the density of mobile phone base stations.Engineers from Queen’s Institute of Electronics, Communications and Information Technology are working on a new project based on the rapidly developing science of body-centric communications.Social benefits could include vast improvements in mobile gaming and remote healthcare, along with new precision monitoring of athletes and real-time tactical training in team sports, an institute release said.The researchers are investigating how small sensors carried by members of the public, in items such as next generation smartphones, could communicate with each other to create potentially vast body-to-body networks.The new sensors would interact to transmit data, providing ‘anytime, anywhere’ mobile network connectivity.Simon Cotton from the i
