So, as we sit here, waiting for Apple ( NSDQ: AAPL ) to reveal their much ballyhooed tablet device to the world, we can’t help but imagine what kind of crazy technology Apple’s “next big thing” will feature. Well, we did a little digging through Apple recent patent applications, and we’ve come across one patent that could have some truly innovative implications for the imminent Apple Tablet/iSlate/iPad. A newly published Apple patent, titled “Light Sensitive Display With Object Detection Calibration,” describes a technology that would essentially turn your display into an image sensor

Nokia ( NYSE: NOK )’s Research Center in Helsinki has invented mobile radar. Yes, you’ve heard that right. The same type of technology that submarines have and make Sean Connery in The Hunt for Red October an awesome Russian anti-hero.

You know when Google ( NSDQ: GOOG )’s mobile operating system is capable of controlling the movements of a $3000 Japanese robot, it’s only a matter of time before even bigger robots fall under Android’s devious sway – throw in a dash of self-awareness, and you’ve got a dystopian future where an amalgamate mothermind of Android phones independently controls legions of disposable (yet deceptively adorable) robots and Christian Bale cusses off coworkers in between the dropping bombshells.

The latest mobile phone from HTC is named HTC Smart, ironically the ’smartness’ is limited to only the name as this is actually an affordable phone with smartphone features and hence it is stripped of some of HTC’s legendary groundbreaking features. The HTC Smart uses Qualcomm Brew platform along with HTC Sense UI. It will be probably running on a 300MHz processor with 256MB ROM and 256MB RAM.

With all the Nexus One hubub, Google ( NSDQ: GOOG ) made a couple surprising announcements today that almost slipped through the cracks. One of the surprises was Google’s announcement that both Verizon ( NYSE: VZ ) and Vodafone ( NYSE: VOD ) would soon offer the Nexus One on their respective networks. The second surprise was Google’s preview of the Google Earth app for Android.

Google ( NSDQ: GOOG ) wouldn’t be Google if they didn’t launch the Nexus One without building up hype for the handset. One of the ways the Mountain View, CA-based search giant did that was to coin a new term to describe their Nexus One – “superphone.” Seeing as how the new Android phone packs the most advanced smartphone features available today, the new Android 2.1 OS, and a handful of innovative software and hardware technologies, Google saw fit to call the Nexus One a “ superphone .” Not a smartphone, mind you, this superphone is supposed to showcase the possibilities when you put Google and HTC together in the same room.

As a response to T-Mobile’s decision to turn on 7.2 Mbps today it appears that AT&T has done the same thing . Realistically speaking these two events were probably scheduled months in advance and press releases were written several weeks prior, but I’ll ignore the logic and just say it’s AT&T responding to T-Mobile ( NYSE: DT ) and then going one step further and calling them a nasty poo poo head. AT&T is also saying that they’re going to “dramatically increase the number of high-speed backhaul connections to cell sites, primarily with fiber-optic connections, adding capacity from cell sites to the AT&T backbone network”.

The Nexus One is live ! But, there’s a catch. Google’s own-branded Android “superphone” (a term that Google termed to describe their Nexus One) is so far only compatible with GSM networks like AT&T ( NYSE: T ) and T-Mobile ( NYSE: DT ) USA.

One little tidbit coming out of the Nexus One announcement worth highlighting is that T-Mobile ( NYSE: DT )’s 7.2 Mbps network lengthy upgrade is complete as promised , and now they’re moving towards HSPA+ (21 Mbps).

Against the Grain Media have enlisted the promotional help of DJ Krafty Kuts to launch their sampler tool application for the iPhone! This sound effects tool which comes pre-loaded with over 100 samples including MC shouts, classic dub sirens, bass drops, rises and many more useful noises to spice up your set. “I wanted to produce a sampler style app which could actually be used by DJs in clubs or on the radio” says Krafty Kuts, pointing out that this is the first iPhone App of its kind suitable for professional use. Having the ability to drop samples like ‘Make Some Noise In Here!’ along with big ‘woosh’ and ‘lazer’ noises over my mixes, without the need for a laptop or third turntable is amazing!” The app is priced at £2.99, which I’d say is reasonable – if it replaces the need to have another sampler source in your DJ setup, then it’s a steal! Looking at the UI, it’s in the same style as you’d find on sampler hardware, with nice big trigger pads on screen
