The name Elan Microelectronics might sound familiar. They are the company that may be looking to sue Apple for their multitouch technology. This is called "eFinger Transparent Touchpad" technology and it is running on Android. This is interesting and we could possibly see it on a future Android device. I'm excited for multitouch on Android, but I'm not sure why it wasn't implemented on the T-Mobile G1.

Palm Pre Touchstone Could Be a Whole Product Line
Palm has possibly just purposely slipped the fact that the Touchstone inductive charging dock for the Palm Pre could be more than just a plain ol' battery charger. Touchstone could also be the first product of an entire lineup. That's all anyone knows for now and it'll be interesting to see what Palm has up their sleeve. I'm really looking forward to Palm's future devices; it seems that they are really taking their products to the next level. Talk about going next-gen.

Innovizion 65-Inch Weather-Proof HDTV
This is the large 65-inch HDTV made for outdoor use. This Innovizion HDTV is weather-proof and has a "glare reduction coating" so it is perfect for the ideal camper. The only problem is that it is going for a retail price of $35,990 USD. There is no word on how good this screen is at blocking out the sun or dirt, but if you want to check it out then go ahead. The $36,000 price tag may be out of range for most of us though.

CUBE B52HD PMP Is Real Cheap
Sadly this PMP will probably not be released here in North America and that's bad news. It has a 5-inch 480 x 272 LCD display, a bunch of codec support, 1,280 x 720 video out, 8GB of on-board storage, and an expansion slot (microSD possibly). The saddest news for us North Americans is that it only costs 499 yuan ($73 USD). I'd get one, if it came out here.

KO M400 PMP Still A Concept
The new bezel-less PMP you see here is the KO M400. While it may still be just a concept, it looks amazing. Many people are guessing the this will be a 5-inch full touchscreen HD PMP. This will probably never hit America, but it looks sweet being all bezel-less. Keep in mind that this is still a concept photo, so there is no word on if it is actually being made right now.
