MAPTOR ! GPS
Another good thing about the Maptor is that it has GPS included; as a result there is this big red arrow on the map that points to your current location. Therefore getting your bearings and charting your course is easy.
Although the images of the projected map look visible enough even in daylight, I wonder if it’s really going to be that clear in its practical avatar.
Anyways, I think this project has the potential to make it to the market and be a hit, I would love to get one for my husband, who hates to ask for directions!

The First iPad Stylus With an On-Screen Cursor
Billed as an "active stylus" for the iPad, the iPen can be recognized by the tablet even when the tip hovers above the display. Allowing for improved stylus accuracy, but also facilitating an on-screen cursor.
That might not seem like a big deal for a device designed to be used with taps and swipes, but anyone who's ever used a Wacom tablet with a PC will appreciate having that visual cue of where exactly the tip of the stylus has been detected.
The peripheral—which attaches to the iPad's dock port—uses the same ultrasonic technology that lets those smart pens capture handwritten notes. But I think it's put to better use here.
As you can see in the video, the iPen allows for extremely detailed and precise pen strokes. Which will be appreciated by artists, and should vastly improve the capabilities of handwriting recognition software. Because it's a third-party peripheral, apps have to be specifically written to take advantage of what the iPen can do. But the company behind it has already lined up considerable support from App Store developers. And since they've more than raised the $35,000 they were seeking through Kickstarter, you might actually be able to buy one in the near future. [Kickstarter via John Nack]

Apple may launch ‘iPad mini’ in Q3
Apple is reportedly working on a smaller version of its popular iPad tablet that will launch in the third quarter next year. Citing sources in Apple’s parts supply chain, DigiTimes on Friday claimed that a new iPad with a 7.85-inch display will enter production at the end of the second quarter. LG Display and AU Optronics will supply the panels, according to the site’s report. DigiTimes suggests that Apple, which previously stated that a 7-inch display was too small for a tablet, will build the smaller slate to “cope with increasing market competition including the 7-inch Kindle Fire from Amazon and the launch of large-size smartphones from handset vendors.” Earlier reports from Ticonderoga Securities analyst Brian White suggested that Apple would launch an “iPad mini” in 2012, but that mini referred to a lower price in the high-$200 range rather than a smaller form factor.

Apple v. Samsung Saga: Australia Backs Sammy; iPhone & iPad Banned in Germany
We recently heard some scary news regarding the Apple vs. HTC lawsuits and their potential to damage Android. Fortunately, now it looks like there have been a couple major reversals for the Apple vs. "everyone" debacle, at least in regards to some of their other lawsuits.
Android scored two major legal victories this holiday season. First, the final appeal from Apple in Australia ended in favor of Samsung. Originally, Apple won a temporary injunction to ban sales of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia, but then an appeals court reversed that decision. Apple then appealed that decision, but were rejected on this final appeal.
The second victory for Android was a bigger one. A little known, and only mildly covered lawsuit was also pending in which Motorola counter-sued Apple, claiming copyright infringement against a Moto patent that basically covers a: "METHOD FOR PERFORMING A COUNTDOWN FUNCTION DURING A MOBILE-ORIGINATED TRANSFER FOR A PACKET RADIO SYSTEM". A ruling was handed down in the Mannheim Regional Court in Germany on this lawsuit, banning the sale of the iPhone and iPad throughout Europe! Right now this is only a preliminary injunction and is only enforceable against Ireland-based Apple subsidiary Apple Sales International. Apple must now remove the infringing functions or appeal to Karlsruhe Higher Regional Court, which is likely the route they will take. This is a fairly stunning setback for Apple, but of course will continue to develop over time.
It still remains to be seen how things will go for Android as a whole though. On December 14th, a U.S. court will finally hear HTC's appeal regarding their infringement of a couple of Apple patents. We covered it previously, but it bears repeating because the patents are so broad that if Apple wins, it could affect the entire Android ecosystem.
Here's a small add-on to the overall story. In a bit of ridiculous irony, back in September, Apple actually had the gall to accuse Motorola and Samsung of being "anti-competitive" by using patent lawsuits to stifle competition. Apple must have forgotten the time-line of events, because they were the ones who began this gigantic lawsuit fiesta, and Motorola and Samsung simply counter-sued in defense. Obviously, a big part of the problem is the broken patent system, and the ability of companies to license broad and vague patents. However, that does not absolve anyone of their responsibility to use the system fairly. Stating that "the system is broken and setup that way, so it is perfectly okay for a company to take advantage of it" is like saying it would be okay to murder someone if the law permitted it. There is such a thing as ethics, and it is up to each person, or group, to attempt to be as ethical as possible.
Regardless of the philosophical debate, Apple calling Motorola and Samsung "anti-competitive" is like that kid you played with that constantly changes the rules of the game, and then calls you a cheater when you win anyway. After a while, no one wants to play with that kid, and it almost looks like that is what Apple might be worried about. What do you think?
Stanford University and HP webOS go where no computer has gone before
We all know mobile technology is revolutionizing our personal and professional lives. But it’s also transforming the field of medicine in new and exciting ways.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an advanced technology that collects and analyzes detailed images and 3D renderings of the body’s internal organs and structures without exposing patients and doctors to dangerous radiation as X-Rays do. The greater safety of MRI has made possible an exciting new field called Interventional Radiology, which involves a doctor actually working on a patient with a real-time view of the patient’s insides.
There is one catch, however: the incredibly powerful magnets used by MRI scanners make the use of regular metal-filled computers impossible. However, Dr. Andrew B. Holbrook, a Research Associate at Stanford University, realized that an HP TouchPad could, with some modifications, be made non-metallic enough to go where no computer has gone before: into the MRI chamber!
