This is pretty cool — if you will be near time square over the next couple of days, Kodak has a campaign called: “Your Picture in Times Square – When you want it there”
I really like the way this technology and design works here… you email a photo and wait for a confirmation and then you can go to the giant screen and “on-demand” tell it to display your photo for a ten second interval… very cool. All the details are at the below link :

There is a rumor that APPLE will be releasing a 7 inch design of an APPLE Tablet, according to PC World as early as January 26th.

We all know about the recent SONY, Barnes & Noble and Amazon’s e-book readers which provide an interesting mixture of technologies to allow the screen to provide low power usage and glare-free viewing even in bright sunlight, ideal for reading on any device. The added benefit of color that currently eludes E Ink screens on the market have also been rumored. The display made by a company called Qi, touts a hybrid E Ink and LCD screen. So I wouldn’t really call these devices “tablets” but they are certainly some form of it, an it all depends on how you define the design.
And what about the operating system within this 2010 tablet race ? Reportedly a 10.1 inch tablet will run Google’s Android, which is now become a popular OS for devices as well as phones… I like that one!
So 2010 may hold many options for tablets with Dell, Asus, Microsoft and Apple all supposed to have tablets in the works it’s an exciting time for this market.

Dragon Dictation – Speech-to-text translation
Speech-to-text translation isn’t a new idea, but Dragon Dictation for the iPhone turns the concept into a functional reality. The app makes it easy for you to dictate notes, e-mails or text messages, which are then instantly converted to text. With a click of the button, you can go on to send your dictated text via e-mail or SMS, or to save it to the clipboard. Best of all, Dragon Dictation is completely free (for a limited time).
The application itself has a minimalist design: When you launch it, you’ll be able to hit a button and record your dictation — and that’s it. After the initial voice-to-text transcription, you can also edit via text or voice, replace poorly transcribed words with suggested alternatives and select words or phrases to delete.

Dragon Search - Search the entire web with your voice
The app’s design is very simple to use and lightening fast. After you launch it, simply click the red button to say your search query. Hit “done” and you’ve just searched practically the entire web with your voice. Results are displayed on single page views per search engine, and you can use your finger to quickly scroll through the horizontal toolbar to arrive at your destination of choosing.
