Sharp shows 3-D displays for mobile devices (AP) – NIMBRUNG.NET
TOKYO – Sharp’s latest 3-D displays deliver bright, clear imagery without the cumbersome glasses usually required for such technology. Now the bad news: They only work on a 3-inch (7.5-centimeter) screen held one foot (30 centimeters) from the viewer’s face.
Sharp Corp. demonstrated liquid crystal screens Friday for mobile devices that showed 3-D animation, touch-panel screens that switched from one 3-D photo to another and a display connected to a 3-D video camera.
Movies and TVs in 3-D are no longer surprising. Sony Corp. and Pansonic Corp. of Japan, as well as South Korea’s Samsung Electronics Co. and LG Electronics, already sell or are planning 3-D TVs.
The drawback until now has been the need for special glasses, which show different images to the right eye and the left eye. Sharp’s 3-D technology doesn’t require them because the displays are designed to shoot different images to each eye.
The technology may be applied to TVs in the future, said Executive Managing Officer Yoshisuke Hasegawa. But he acknowledged it now works better when the distance between the viewer and the screen is fixed.

iPhone app reviews: Icraig, Craigslist search assistant – Helium – NIMBRUNG.NET
Hot Breaking News about iPhone app reviews Icraig Craigslist search assistant Helium
icraig is a iphone and ipod touch app created to allow searching of Craigslist, made by Splashdata inc. and although the lite version of the program doesn’t allow you to search everything the only part that appears to be limited is the personals and adult sections which many people do not use at all.
Over the years the internet has become more smooth, polished and internet shopping has become an increasingly large part of the economy. One of the most unlikely winners in that is Craigslists, a website that looks like it could have existed in the first years of the internet, but that simplicity is part of the reason that it is so popular and unique and the reason that it makes such a good iphone and ipod touch app as well.
The interface of iCraig is very simple at the top of the screen there is a place to type in a search, below that are four buttons that let you select location, Category, sub category and filters which let you choose to only look at listings with pictures or only search the titles, you can also set the minimum and max price.
The main weakness of this app that that it is only as useful as your local Craigslist if you live in an area that has a good and active Craigslist then this is going to work very well, on the other hand if you are not able to find anything worthwhile on the website it will not do anything more. The other small thing is that they charge you 1.99 to have access to everything that is on the website. This wouldn’t be a big deal if it was the same people who own Craigslist but charging to access information on someone else’s website it seems a bit odd to charge for that, though I do understand that they have to make money somehow.
This is actually easier in a lot of ways than using Craigslist itself because every time you log on to the app it already has your previous options saved so that you will immediately be in it and you can check it on the fly which is important for Craigslist since the good deals can disappear very quickly.

Research in Motion ships record 10.5M BlackBerries, shares slide – Apple Insider – NIMBRUNG.NET
Published: 06:00 PM EST
BackBerry maker Research in Motion reported strong sales for its fiscal Q3 2010 but saw its shares slip some 7% as both revenues and shipments fell short of Wall Street’s expectations.
The Canadian smartphone maker said it shipped 10.5 million units during the three-month period ended February while adding 4.9 million net new subscribers. Analysts, however, had expected closer to 11 million units.
By comparison, Apple shipped 8.7 million iPhones during its first quarter of 2010, which ended in December. The fiscal quarters of the two rivals are always offset by two months, which means there’s never been precise data available to the public for a direct comparison of iPhone and BlackBerry sales over a set three-month span. RIM’s Q3 ended in February.
Apple only sells the iPhone on AT&T in the US and has not dramatically discounted its smartphones in “buy one get one” offers. RIM has expanded its sales largely through lower priced models such as the popular BlackBerry Curve. Even so, RIM’s profit margins came in at 45.7%, higher than many analysts has expected.
Despite lots of good news, it appears RIM’s earnings reports triggered a selloff due to unrealistic expectations.

Google searches trigger error messages in China (AFP) – NIMBRUNG.NET
SAN FRANCISCO (AFP) –
Google said Tuesday that many searches at its Chinese-language site failed to return results due to a glitch that misled China censors into thinking queries were for Radio Free Asia.
“Lots of users in China have been unable to search on Google.com.hk today,” a Google spokesman in California said in an email response to an AFP inquiry.
“This blockage seems to have been triggered by a change on Google’s part.”
The day before the problem started Google upgraded search code parameters worldwide to include a “gs_rfai” string of characters as part of a modification intended to improve query results, according to the company.
“Because this parameter contained the letters ‘rfa’ the great firewall was associating these searches with Radio Free Asia, a service that has been inaccessible in China for a long time — hence the blockage,” the spokesman said.
