Look out, naysayers — projectiondesign is giving this whole “3D revolution” thing some serious street cred with the F10 AS3D. Slated to debut at InfoComm 2008 in Las Vegas, the unit marks the company’s first active 3D stereoscopic projector. Notably, this isn’t the firm’s first foray into the third-dimension, as eight of its F20 sx+ PJs are currently being used in a 3D visualization system at Munich University. Moving on, we’ll also find its brand new three-chip DLP F80, which features a WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200) resolution, ACOP (Advanced Color Optical Processing) technology and a stratospheric price tag (we’re guessing on that last one). We’ll be holding out for pricing / release information, but we don’t suspect it’ll be too long before those critical points get divulged.

So we’ve seen a few solar-powered gizmos (that we wouldn’t touch with a ten twenty foot poll), but Thanko’s own sun-lovin’ DAP actually doesn’t look half bad. The Solar Digital Audio Player, from the front, looks like any other ho hum unit, with a 1.8-inch 220 x 176 resolution display, 4GB of internal storage space and a miniSD expansion slot. Flip ‘er over, and you’ll find a thoughtful kickstand that just so happens to have a solar panel slapped right on, enabling the brilliant, outdoor sunshine to give it a few more minutes of life. There’s no official word on a price or release date, but we wouldn’t bank on it ever coming Stateside, anyway.

Sorry, but squats are so 20th Century. Instead, strap on the HULC — Human Universal Load Carrier — exoskeleton and effortlessly carry an extra 200lbs. HULC not only increases your human payload, but it also “decreases [your] metabolic cost”. In other words, it seems Berkeley Bionics developed this thing for extremely lazy people, those who lose their breath easily, or for those on what they call “long duration missions”. This is no joke, though — the company is taking orders for the suit already.

It only makes sense to go all expensive on the things you look at most often, like your TV, car, or — in this case — your keyboard. For only (!!) $155, you too can get a handmade Nishi-Ki USB keyboard. Yours is sure to be the object of typist envy cube farm-wide. Nishi-ki keyboards pack 86 keys and work via USB or PS/2 interfaces. Sorry, Mac users, no Command keys.

It’s starting to sound like that DigiTimes report, which holds that ASUS is ceasing production of the Eee PC 900 in favor of the upcoming Atom-based 901, might just be false. Notebook Italia has it from an ASUS rep that the account is totally untrue, and that both 900 and 901 models will be produced and sold alongside one another (for now, anyway). And given that it’s DigiTimes, we might just be able to put this one to bed.
[Thanks, Sergio]

It’s being reported that Hutchison (aka 3) snagged the iPhone for distribution in Hong Kong and Macau, which could come as early as next quarter according to the South China Morning Post. Like the rest, this was supposedly another one liner un-announcement with no real info, but you probably wouldn’t want to anger Steve before WWDC. Besides, in Hong Kong 3 doesn’t sell anything but 3G phones — so put that in your iPipe and smoke it.
