If you're a fan of TomTom's Go Live series of nav units, you'll get a kick out of what the company announced today. Hitting retail and online stores in October is "the world's first portable navigation device with a suite of popular travel apps," the Go Live 1535M. That's right folks, this piece of dashboard flair will allow you to use Yelp, TripAdvisor, Expedia and Twitter all from the comfort of its 5-inch touchscreen. In addition to the new application integration, the GPS juggernaut's classic features will be available as well: hands-free calling, real-time traffic info, local search, fuel prices and weather forecasts.

More HTC Sensation Devices Added to Official Bootloader Unlock Support List

More HTC Sensation Devices Added to Official Bootloader Unlock Support List

The initial list of devices supported by HTC for an official way to unlock their bootloaders was small, but they have since been working to add more. The most recent update sees no new phone models, but we do get support for HTC Sensation units in other regions and on other carriers. We’ve got T-Mobile getting in on the fun as well as Turkish and Arabic units. We also have French carrier Boygues Telecom’s version on the list. If any of you have devices that fit the bill here and don’t want to use community-brewed methods, get on over to HTC’s site now (note: this may void your warranty).

We've seen flavors of Android on our tablets, smartphones - even a microwave oven - but Parrot's Asteroid receiver is finally ready to park in your car's dash, bringing a tricked out version of Google's mobile OS to yet another innovative platform. In addition to an FM radio and a line-in connection (duh), the Asteroid also includes USB connectivity, an SD card slot, music on demand, and voice activated music search. There's also hands-free calling over Bluetooth, contact voice recognition, and automatic phonebook sync - all controlled using a built-in jog wheel or your voice, and displayed on a 3.2-inch LCD.

Eyeborg replaces eye with wireless video camera

Eyeborg replaces eye with wireless video camera

Rob Spence is a name that is famous among a handful of those who have been following his work, but for those who have not heard of him before, he is well know for the Eyeborg bionic eye. Spence has been in contact with a bunch of engineers to actually transform the use of an endoscope into something far smaller – that is to have it function in an in-socket video camera. The Eyeborg will be turned on by waving a magnet near it. When that happens, it will start to transmit a wireless video signal to a handheld LCD viewer, now how about that.
