\\nFlexibility is the key to air power, AND ereaders. The F-15C gets a new set of eyes and Sony debuts a bendable e-screen!
\\nAND Flexibility making it\\xe2\\u20ac\\u2122s move to batteries. LiIon battery made on paper by Stanford researchers. Probably won\\xe2\\u20ac\\u2122t be in phones, but could make for \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153active\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d RFID technology, among other thin uses.
\\nSpeaking of Batteries, Panasonic is finally creating rechargable AA batteries that recharge through frustration! (er, shaking\\xe2\\u20ac\\xa6) Great they say for remote controls, and other hand held devices. About time, *I* say.

\\nAndroid Is As Open As The Clenched Fist I\\xe2\\u20ac\\u2122d Like To Punch The Carriers With
\\nMG Siegler
\\nSep 9, 2010
\\nThis past weekend, I wrote a post wondering if Android was surging in the U.S. market because Apple was letting it? The main thought was that by remaining exclusively tied to AT&T, Apple was driving some users to choose Android, which is available on all the U.S. carriers. In the post, I posed a question: if it\\xe2\\u20ac\\u2122s not the iPhone/AT&T deal, why do you choose Android? Nearly 1,000 people responded, and a large percentage focused on the same idea: the idea of \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153openness.\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d
\\nYou\\xe2\\u20ac\\u2122ll forgive me, but I have to say it: what a load of crap.
\\nOld News, but worth mentioning: Gorilla Glass is also in the Samsung Galaxy S displays (and it is transparent aluminum. Sort of.)
