OLED Display and Accelerometer Pocket Watch (WiP)
Author: Jon Daniels
A friend had a broken pocket watch, gutted it, gave the case to me. I measured it, and did a rough draft of a board with a densitron display, accelerometer, AVR and LED. This is just a first crack at it. I haven’t hooked up any of the power circuitry to the battery and haven’t figured a lot of other things out, but I’ll post things as they come.

Engineer Guy shows how a phone accelerometer works, knows what’s up and sideways (video)
Author: Tristan Richards
We love finding out how things work, and arguably one of the most important parts of the smartphones and tablets we thrive on is the accelerometer gauging our device’s orientation. Imagine our delight, then, when we see the University of Illinois’ Bill Hammack (i.e. The Engineer Guy) giving a visual rundown of how accelerometers work. Although it’s certainly the Cliff’s Notes version of what’s going on in your Android phone or iPhone, the video does a great job of explaining the basic concepts behind three-axis motion sensing and goes on to illustrate how MEMS chips boil the idea down to the silicon form that’s needed for our mobile hardware. Hammack contends that it’s one of the coolest (and unsung) parts of a smartphone, and we’d definitely agree; you can see why in the clip after the break.

CyanogenMod 7 update brings WiFi, sound and accelerometer support to TouchPad (video)
Author: Natalie Wood
Oh, sure — HP’s webOS may be one of the most sophisticated tablet operating systems in existence, but with a permanently stagnant market, The CM Team has decided that your fire sale TouchPad may be better off running Android. You know, from a long-term perspective. All jesting aside, the crew has been pounding the pavement on a new (and vastly improved) CyanogenMod 7 for Android, with this build providing functional WiFi, access to the Android Market, audio (albeit a bit fast) and an operational accelerometer. There’s no code being released just yet — the team’s still working to cull the aforesaid Hamsterdance effect — but you can catch a sneak peek of everything in action just above.

Sony VAIO P Series gets an accelerometer, touchpad (Updated: starts at $799)
Author: Alexander McQueen
Well, we did have some strong evidence to suggest that Sony was planning a design update to its VAIO P Series, but there happens to be a lot more than fresh aesthetics going on with the new 8-inch lappie. Sure, it gets a new matte lid that’s available in five different shades, but Sony has also updated the 1.3-pound P Series with an optical touchpad and accelerometer. The former is built into the LCD bezel and, as the picture above shows, is all about navigating the desktop by just holding the screen – the pad is on the right bezel while the right / left mouse buttons are on the left. The accelerometer is probably the most interesting addition – you can flip the device vertically to read documents, but also tilt it to the left or right to move forward or backward while surfing the web. Pretty cool stuff, and there’s even more: it’s been given a faster Intel Atom Z560 processor option, though the entry-level unit has a slightly-slower Z530 CPU. Still waiting for US pricing to see if Sony can tempt us with its notoriously expensive VAIO P when it begins shipping in June. We’ll have a piping hot review of the new VAIO P coming up later this morning. So, will you hit the break for the official PR, or just wait for the review? Decisions, decisions.
Update: The U.S. has finally released its PR. The VAIO P will start at $799 stateside, though that includes the 1.6GHz Atom Z530 processor, and not the newer Z560 upgrade. That’s an $100 price drop, but still too much if you ask us.
