One of the great features about the HTC Flyer is the fact that it can work with a stylus to essentially draw free-hand pictures or notes on the screen.

Today we’ll look at a few companies in the tech world who have proven theres more to their inspiration than just perspiration. The moves of these companies suggest they’ve moved past reality into something they’ve convinced themselves will sell to the people. Here’s my list of company’s I suspect have hit the rock: Amazon refuses more »

There was a time when resistive touchscreen devices were pretty commonplace. The problem with resistive screens is the stylus that accompanies them. Operating the device can become tedious if the stylus is ever lost, and multi-touch gestures are contributing to the demise of the stylus. However, Wacom isn’t so quick to abandon the stylus. It has created a stylus specifically for capacitive screens that may have some practical use.

The iPad is great for kids, if you don’t believe me, hand the device to a young kid sometime and see how long it takes for them to give it back. Or, bring them to the iPad display in the Apple store and see how long you spend in the store if you don’t pull more »

Hit by hard times? Financial markets got you worried about dropping bucks on a shiny new phone? LG feels your pain and wants to reach out to all those folks who want the sexy touchscreen-type phone with the aptly named KP500. KP as in “Kitchen Pass,” as in you won’t need to check with your significant other to buy it thanks to its super low retail price. Unfortunately, I suspect LG did not name it the KP for that reason.

Compact, rugged, and with a price tag that won’t break the bank, the newest model of outdoor ready compact cameras by Olympus has a clever little feature that they invite users to tap into. Yeah, ok…so I’m sure by now you’ve figured out it has something to do with tapping, right? Well, correct you are.

Usually, one does NOT want to bump, bang, or ever tap their camera any more than necessary. In the case of the Stylus 1050 SW however, Olympus invites their users to “tap into worry-free fun”. It means just what is sounds like. The camera uses an innovative tap interface where it registers taps on not only the screen area like some other touch screen cameras do; but also anywhere on the camera body. It uses an accelerometer so that it can read taps on different surfaces to control different functions just by tapping the appropriate area. Certain taps on the right side of the camera do one thing…taps on the left another. You can even calibrate the tap sensitivity to your liking. According to Olympus, it offers benefits in adverse conditions as well.

Trust Olympus to come up with yet another digital camera geared for photo enthusiasts with highly active lifestyles. The new Olympus Stylus 1050SW is a rugged 10.1-megapixel digital camera that is shockproof, waterproof and freeze proof. It can withstand five-foot drops to the ground, still works even at the most freezing weather condition and won’t get drown out on you even if you submerged it into water up to 3 meters deep.

Related to its rugged features, the 1050SW also features Tap Control which according to Olympus makes the top, back or sides of the camera sensitive to touch which in turn makes up for easy control of the camera’s menu settings. This is made possible by the 1050SW’s 3D accelerometer that detects the direction of the force on the camera’s body.
