CMI Solves Fuzzy 3D Viewing
3D seems to have taken a back seat lately but the company Chimei Innolux has managed to bring it back with new technology. CMI's 4.3" display has a 720 resolution and "cell gap" technology so that instead of getting fuzzy 3D from an off center viewing, you get a clear 2D image. There is no exact date as to when the screen will be available on devices, but if you were waiting for no glasses and a clearer screen, you are closer to your goal.

Smart TV Hits 5 Millionth Download
Samsung has announced that over 5 million globally have downloaded their Smart TV app platform. Considering the fact that it only launched in Feb. 2010, that is pretty impressive. They attribute their success to their variety of videos, games, sports and other media that can be found in over 120 countries, including 3D capability. Programming is country-specific, making all those naysayers who didn't believe in the concept sit up and take notice.
You can get up to speed by joining the Samsung revolution with your own Smart TV or purchasing the LG ST600 Smart TV Upgrader.

Freakin' Friday! 3DS Test Run by Jimmy Fallon
Amidst the hoopla surrounding the release of the 3DS, many critics are quick to shut it down on its usability or difficulty to play, but Jimmy Fallon was filled with glee when he got the opportunity to play with it last week. (But come to think of it, he is always gleeful.)
In its second week out, the portable game system sold 50,710 units, breaking the record of the PSP as the fastest selling. No doubt many of those were from people that can't resist shooting the faces of their closest buds.

Sony Takes New Stride in Gaming
Sony is working on a new technology for video gaming that allows players to see a different image depending on where they are in the room. With 3D 'Killzone 3,' the gamers will not be able to view what each competitor is doing. The tech is a form of split screen and will not be available to the public for quite a while, but may be eventually incorporated in their TVs in the future.
