Due to the back-folding keyboard, the 5-megapixel camera with flash on the Backflip is situated in an unusual position as well, to the bottom left corner of the keyboard. That allows you to take pictures when the keyboard is in the closed position. The back of the keyboard features a large touchpad to assist with scrolling through content on the screen.

Other than its unusual design, the Motorola Backflip’s specs include a 3.1-inch display with a 320X480 resolution, 512MB ROM, and 256MB of RAM. The Backflip is reported to run on a 528MHz processor and will offer support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS.
The touchpad on the back of the screen is… well, interesting, but that’s about all we can really say about it at this point — as Sanjay said during the keynote, it’ll be up to devs utilizing Moto’s API to do the really awesome stuff with it. In the meantime, it acts exactly as you’d expect a trackball or optical pad to work on Android — just upside down.

In terms of the screen and the Blur experience, it’s a dead ringer for the CLIQ, for better or worse — the big difference, of course, is the fact that the screen can be tilted. The phone’s got a sensor so it can detect when the screen’s at a 45-degree angle, putting it in a media mode and making it particularly useful as an alarm clock. Would we buy one? We’re not sure — it’s no Droid, certainly — but maybe it doesn’t have to be.
MOTOBLUR is Motorola’s Android-powered content delivery service created to make phones more personal and socially smart. It is the first and only solution to sync contacts, posts, messages, photos and much more—from sources such as Facebook®, MySpace, Twitter, Gmail™, work and personal e-mail, and LastFM—and automatically deliver them to the home screen. Content is fed into easy-to-manage streams allowing you to spend less time managing your life and more time living it.

BACKFLIP is designed around the MOTOBLUR experience and provides multiple features to keep phone conversations moving. Multi-tasking has never been easier with BACKFLIP’s reverse-flip QWERTY keyboard and high-res 3.1” HVGA screen—letting you see more and respond faster. Navigate quickly and easily through menus and features with the new and unique BACKTRACK™ feature. BACKTRACK is a touch panel located on the other side of the device, offering you a new way to scroll through—the Web, texts, e-mails and news feeds without obscuring the home screen.

The Backflip also boasts a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus and an LED flash, video capture, 32 GB of expandable memory, the full Android HTML browser and a 3.5-mm headphone jack. The phone runs on Android 1.5 with Motorola’s cloud-based Motoblur user interface.

Motorola said they will not be announcing a carrier at this time, but we can make a pretty safe guess where this GSM phone will be landing. Stay tuned for a more in-depth hands-on analysis as well as a video showing off the Backflip’s one-of-a-kind design.

With two down, that means we can expect three Android-powered smartphones from HTC to come to “the nation’s fastest 3G network.” Again, no concrete information is known, but it’s not hard to guess that at least one of those devices could be the lust-worthy Nexus One.

As if the big Android announcement wasn’t enough, AT&T also announced that it would be launching not one, but two WebOS-powered devices this year from Palm. Will they simply be versions of the Pre and Pixi, compatible with AT&T’s 3G network? Or will they be entirely new devices?

Thanks to its iPhone exclusivity, AT&T could very well wind up the only carrier in the U.S. to offer a handset with every major smartphone OS. On the other hand, this could just be a move to strengthen AT&T’s stable of devices before that exclusive deal ends and Verizon gets its paws on the Apple phone. [From: Engadget and Engadget]

He also showed how to rappel down an elevator shaft and even rappel up a suspension river bridge. Have confidence in your ability, he said.

In the film, he goes it alone. But he says that while he would be suspicious of everyone, wanting to find people to communicate with would give him a reason to live.

The program struck me as a mini “Life After People”; well, maybe there are a few people.

Hello from Vegas!

No sooner did I land at McCarran Airport this afternoon, than I was whisked away to Motorola’s press event on the eve of the International Consumer Electronics Show. There, I met up with Noah, John and Aaron, who have already been hard at work covering CES and were now assessing the latest announcement from the infamous Droid maker.

Moto unveiled its latest (but — the company promises — definitely not its last) Android handset: The Backflip. The unique device sports a 3.1-inch touchscreen and a full QWERTY keyboard that folds backwards. And that’s not the only unusual thing about this phone; there’s also a touchpad on the backside of the display component. (So if you’re holding it with two hands, you can swipe to navigate screens using the fingers on the back.) The company announced plans to release APIs to let developers innovate different ways to use the touchpad.

Motorola’s looking at a Q1 launch in Europe and parts of Asia, but there’s no word on when it will land in the U.S.

Look for more details on this and other news from the PhoneDog editors soon. In the mean time, enjoy these fast comparisons between it and Moto’s other Android phones, the Cliq (on the left) and the Droid (on the right).

Microsoft and Courier isn’t likely to become a product anytime soon, if ever, according to people familiar with the matter. Mr. Ballmer’s presentation will also include other new hardware running Windows 7, including the ultrathin new desktop from Lenovo.
In fact, we wouldn’t be surprised to see some more firm dates applied to both Project Natal—maybe even getting a peek at some non-game related demonstrations—and Game Room, confirmation of which leaked earlier today. Read on for our up to the minute liveblog of Microsoft’s CES keynote if you want to know what Steve Ballmer and crew will be doing for the next hour.
LAS VEGAS – Jan. 6, 2010 – The Consumer Electronics Association kicked off the 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) tonight with a pre-show opening keynote by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer and Entertainment & Devices President Robbie Bach.

Over 110,000 manufacturers, content providers, corporate buyers, engineers and media people converge each year in Las Vegas to identify the latest trends in consumer technology. More than 2,500 exhibitors show off their gadgets and technologies — from e-readers and 3-D televisions to free-standing solar panel systems.

During his keynote Ballmer highlighted the unprecedented innovation in the consumer electronics industry during 2009. Despite the economic turmoil the industry continued to deliver exciting new products and services at pace and, in Ballmer’s view, is set up for continued success

Later this Spring, ‘Game Room’ will come to Xbox LIVE. This is a destination for the classic arcade games.  You can buy once and play on both your Xbox 360 and Windows PC. A new game will be released every week. You’ll be able to invite friends through Xbox LIVE and share your custom arcade and show off your personal collection.

Project Natal is coming this Holiday 2010

Keep an eye on Inside Xbox for more details on all of the above.

GM has teased its new GMC Urban Utility Concept (mentioned previously as the GMC Granite) prior to its debut at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show on Monday. The concept hints at a new segment GMC may venture into to compete with the likes of Kia’s Soul and Nissan’s Cube.

“We’ve designed a new breed of truck that’s as efficient as it is chic, innovative as it is functional,” says Frank Saucedo. “Our goal was to create the next generation of urban mobility, fusing a flexible, functional social space with an urban-box design that’s equally at home at the cabin or the club.”

We’ll find out more info next week at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show.

It’s only a proof of concept, but this is laptop with a clear OLED screen—but a stone’s throw from those floating 3D displays of Avatar. Practical? Not necessarily. The future? OBVIOUSLY.

The resolution, I don’t know. It’s pixely, but let’s not quibble.

You see right through the thing, then something appears on the screen (like a white background), and you can’t see through it anymore.

Are you processing this? No, you can’t be. It’s only 2010. Man wasn’t prepared for this kind of technology yet. The brain hasn’t evolved enough. We’re primates. Squirrels. Slugs.

Maybe in 100 or 200 years, the great artists of the world will reflect on what’s happened today and make some sort of sense of it all. Until then, we’ll just keep on breathing, in, out. Until then, we’ll weep.

Sprint’s Overdrive hub is a lot more than a cellular modem: It’s got dual 4G/3G connectivity, shared connections with up to five devices over Wi-Fi, and can serve as a sort of mini NAS, with shared microSD storage.

Early leaks of the device were mostly right, but given that the Wi-Fi range is even further than expected—150ft, Sprint and Sierra claim—actually undersold it a bit. (WiMax is fast enough, and that Wi-Fi range is long enough, that you could conceivably use one of these as your primary source of internet at home. Nuts, basically.) A 1.4-inch LCD screen lets you know who’s connected to what and how, and gives you a precise battery reading—fixing one of the dumbest problems with Verizon’s Mifi. Actually, all around this device feels like the MiFi on steroids—it’s even a bit bigger, at about 3 x 3 x .6 inches, though that’s still pretty compact for what you’re getting here.

The Overdrive goes on sale January 10th for $100.

With a two-year service agreement, ha! Thought you were getting out of that one, didn’t you! Never. [Sprint]

UPDATE: For scale:

Advanced Flow Technology increases efficiency /
Fast GC for trace-level analysis with high sample throughput
Market-Leading sensitivity with redesigned suit of detectors /

Shimadzu, one of the worldwide leading manufacturers in analytical instrumentation, presents its new GC-2010 Plus. Featuring the specially designed AFT (Advanced Flow Technology), the GC-2010 Plus combines highest separation efficiency with increased productivity and reduced analysis time.

Analytical methods are improved continuously to ensure optimal consumer safety as well as environmental protection and continuous increase in product quality. As the number of compounds to be controlled steadily increases new ideas and new technologies must be applied to extend the separation efficiency in gas chromatography. In order to be prepared for future demands, using the latest GC technology has become a must for every laboratory.

All components of a GC system need to be integrated seamlessly. Improved carrier gas control, injection systems and column oven performance together with a family of new, best-in-class detectors engineered using the latest technology make the GC-2010 Plus well suited for highest requirements. The new features of the Advanced Flow Technology additionally boost the performance of the system.

Advanced Flow Technology – the lead in efficiency and productivity
Advanced Flow Technology is based on four systems to further enhance efficiency and productivity of a GC:

• In Multidimensional GC (MDGC) two capillary columns with different separation mechanisms are coupled. MDGC systems separate and quantitate compounds in difficult matrices e.g. petrochemical (e.g. oygenates in petrol) or food samples (e.g. aroma compounds).
• When the target compounds have eluted from the column, the back flush system reduces analysis time by reversing the flow in the system and so flushing high boiling point compounds back through the split vent.
• To bring the effluent from the column to two different detectors (e.g. FID and EDC) the detector splitting system is applied. A mass spectrometer can also be used as second detector. In the detector switching system different detectors can be selected easily.
Free-of-charge Advanced Flow Techno¬logy Software controls all parts of the AFT in combination with GCsolution and GCMSsolution software.

Important factors to consider when choosing the optimum tool for any milling process include tool vibration, surface finish of the workpiece and wear on the tool.

These elements are directly addressed by several new high performance solid carbide cutters from Dormer. Developed primarily for high metal removal, semi-roughing, semi-finishing and finishing operations in steels, all incorporate Dormer’s unique unequal helix concept.

The primary benefit of this feature is that it gives the milling operation a far greater degree of stability. Resistance to “chatter” and reduced tool vibration promote a controlled and stable operation, superior finish on the component, lower wear and tear on machine tools and enhanced tool life.

Consequently, metal removal rates can be increased considerably while greater axial and radial depths of cut can be achieved at high cutting parameters.

Available in medium (S250 & S252) or long (S254 & S255) cut lengths and with a choice of cylindrical or Weldon shanks to increase the application field, the range covers not only new generation machines but also enables the performance of older generation machines to be fully exploited.

A new roughing cutter (S335) further extends the applications covered. In addition to the unequal helix angle, it incorporates a special HRA asymmetric chip breaker to reduce the stress concentration on the most critical point of the profile. Extremely sharp end teeth improve performance, particularly in plunging and helical interpolation operations, and a special edge rounding treatment reduces chipping.

All cutters benefit from Super-G (Aluminium Chromium Nitride) coating for outstanding wear resistance and reduced chipping problems on the cutting edges, with subsequent benefits to tool life and productivity.

The product launch is supported by a comprehensive brochure that includes full range details, dimensional data and optimum operating conditions.

Sescoi unveiled its WorkNC parallel features (multi-threading and multi processing) for the first time at Euromold 09. WorkNC’s parallel computing capabilities enable it to take advantage of the speed of the latest multi-processor computers by splitting computational tasks between processors, reducing memory requirements and greatly increasing the speed of calculation. WorkNC users have long had the ability to program the next part while calculating the previous one, and can set-up a queue of jobs to be calculated out of normal working hours. The new parallel algorithms will extend and further improve these capabilities, virtually eliminating waiting times, bringing an optimized toolpath to the machine tool in a fraction of the time previously possible.
