MSI caught showing off VoIP video conferencing phone running Android

There are already plenty of fish in the sea when it comes to VoIP picture-frame phones, and only a few have succeeded in arousing us, but this well-guarded fella here at MSI's CeBIT booth seems to have some potential with its unusually large touchscreen. According to the label, the MS-9A31 landline-VoIP hybrid phone will support DECT, video conference call and instant messaging, all courtesy of Android. A quick glance around the phone also reveals two LAN ports, a USB port and a card reader -- the latter two presumably for stuffing multimedia files. No word on price or availability, but if MSI's prominence can win over Skype's heart then we might have a winner here (and ASUS better watch out). We gathered some shots, but there's also a video walkthrough after the break.

8 Natural Looking HDR Photos

A lot of HDR photos look surreal and artistic. They’re usually seen as high contrast with bright and obvious halos. This set of photos shows the opposite; HDR tone mapping used to enhance the details while keeping the realistic look of the photo. Here are 8 examples of HDR tone mapped photos that looks so realistic you probably wouldn’t have known they were tone mapped if we haven’t told you.

Icon Fight

I thought the new Techmeme share icon was a bit strange but after reading Gabe’s comment, I discovered that there’s a bit of a dust-up over what icon people are using to indicate sharing. But what I didn’t realize until now is that part of the Open Icon set includes a Geotag Icon, which I will [...]

VU Meter finagled into a PSP, reminds us of a time when the PSP was sexy

Sure, the PSP is still a mighty attractive piece of hardware. "Handsome," you might say, but that heart-pounding allure is all but gone these days. While we wait a few more years for Sony to rectify that with a PSP 2, we can drool over another mod by "http://www.engadget.com/search/?q=f00&invocationType=wl-gadget">f00 f00." This time he's managed to squeeze a working VU Meter onto the back of the ever-moddable machine. Sure, it's not a revolution in the world of PSP hacking, but it's impressive and somehow comforting in its own we-guess-the-PSP-is-still-pretty-cool sort of way. Video is after the break.

Flex framework component localization

Having just gone through far too many hoops to get a the flex framework localized I thought I’d share a few notes here. All I was trying to achieve was to ensure the Flex components (mx) adhere to a selected locale so things like date choosers and other locale-dependent components could be tailored to the users [...]

Learn how to create a simple virtual layout in Flex 4

This post goes over the basics of writing a very simple custom layout that supports virtualization in spark. It assumes that you have already built a custom layout that handles the real (non-virtual) case and are comfortable doing so. The main difference between a virtual and non-virtual layout is how many renderers are created. [...]

Samsung Go N315 grabs a Pinetrail processor

Samsung hasn't yet abased itself to competing head-on with the lowest price netbooks out there, but its Samsung Go can at least vaguely keep up with the times spec-wise, notching up from the N310 to the N315 model name in the process. The $429 rubber-clad netbook has been bumped to an Atom N450 processor, along with Windows 7 Starter, 1GB of RAM and Intel GMA 1350 graphics. Just in case you were scared of getting bored, Samsung and The New York Times are keeping up with their chummy relationship, pre-installing Times Reader 2.0 on the laptop.

One of the exciting new features in Flash CS4 is Deco Tool (shortcut U). This is actually 3 tools in one, because if you check properties panel while deco tool is selected you will notice 3 different drawing effects: Vine Fill, Grid Fill and Symmetry Brush.

Keepin' it real fake: HP Mini 5101 knockoff is almost as good, almost as expensive as the real thing

Coveting a beautiful new netbook but can't quite manage the $399 for a new HP Mini 5101/5102? Maybe this knock-off would fit your budget, looking more or less indistinguishable from the real thing. The ports have a slightly different layout (with some of them looking a wee bit askew) and the red hue here doesn't have quite the same lustre of the real thing -- but it is awfully close, right down to the chrome HP logo on the lid. How much would you pay for this piece of impressioned gadgetry? How about $337? Sure, the difference is enough to cover a copy of Heavy Rain, but could you live with yourself typing your e-mail every day on a lie? Beyond that, we have a suspicion this thing wouldn't last much longer than the Origami Killer's victims.

How to access query string arguments with AS3

Found a great blog post with an ActionScript 2 class that parses the current URL and creates accessible properties out of query string arguments: http://blog.circlecube.com/2008/03/20/get-current-url-and-query-string-parameters-to-flash-tutorial/ I needed something to parse any URL, so I made a few adjustments and converted the class to AS3.

Viliv S10 Blade tablet unboxed and multitouched (video)

Viliv's latest touchable objet d'gadget is the S10 Blade convertible tablet, a slim and sophisticated little thing that looks like it will elevate the company out of the ultraportable business and into the realm of things that take up a little bit more room in your messenger bag. Chippy over at UMPCPortal was granted access to a pre-production unit and has delivered this exhaustive unboxing and hands-on video, featuring no less than two minutes of multitouch scribbling. The device looks like it's a very good size, the form factor looks simple and solid and, with an MSRP starting at just $699, we're quite eager to see how it holds up in a full review. All in good time, readers. All in good time.

Different versions within a single file – Layer Comps

Photoshop allows you to save several variations of a composition in the same file by using so-called layer comps. This setting remembers the position, opacity, blending mode and style of a layer. A separate layer comps window gives you easy control.
