Even though it has plans to release a competing technology, Microsoft has agreed to license Adobe’s Flash Lite technology for its Windows Mobile operating system and browser.

The two companies are expected to announce Monday that Microsoft has signed a license to use Flash Lite and Reader LE in …

Our female alter egos at Tech Digest just scored a video hands-on with Samsung’s new YP-S3 MP3 player. The iPod nano rival should be out this June and is quite similar to its Cupertino competition, with a screen only 0.2-inches smaller and comparable music, photo and video playback abilities. The Samsung adds a built-in FM radio and a 2GB option to accompany the usual 4GB and 8GB models. [Tech Digest]

What better thing to bring you on a sunday afternoon than a concept cellphone that looks like it was dreamed-up on a lazy sunday afternoon: a cellphone with two cameras. No, not your usual one on the front/one on the back. Looking like Wall-e has crashed through your phone, this one has two on the back, with two flashes. The design page has the word “STEREO” writ in letters large under the image, so we’re going to guess the twin cams are for making stereo images. You know, that faux-3D effect that is surprisingly cool. Shame the rest of Lysandre Follet’s phone design is so meh.[Coroflot via Dvice]

It might look kinda grey and boring, but the tiny ring in that image is a world-beater: it measures just five microns across, and is only 300 nanometers thick. That’s very, very tiny indeed. So, it won’t be going around anyone’s finger as a symbol of undying love… but it may be a key component in single-photon detectors and quantum computing, which makes it very cool indeed.
Shown last week at the American Physical Society, the ring was actually produced in the University of Melbourne, and is crafted from synthetic diamond material. It’s designed to be a component in a device that detects single photons, which in turn has a role to play in quantum computing. That’s the nifty technology that uses strange things like photon-entanglement and data bits that are neither zero or one. One day it’ll may make super-computers even more ridiculously powerful than they already are, for, you […]
