At the recent Greener Gadgets Design Competition, the engineer demonstrated a subcutaneously implanted touch-screen that operates as a cell phone display, with the potential for 3G video calls that are visible just underneath the skin.

The basis of the 2×4-inch “Digital Tattoo Interface” is a Bluetooth device made of thin, flexible silicon and silicone. It´s inserted through a small incision as a tightly rolled tube, and then it unfurls beneath the skin to align between skin and muscle. Through the same incision, two small tubes on the device are attached to an artery and a vein to allow the blood to flow to a coin-sized blood fuel cell that converts glucose and oxygen to electricity. After blood flows in from the artery to the fuel cell, it flows out again through the vein.

Panasonic has announced the P905iTV for the Japanese market, and as you can expect by the cellphone’s name, it is capable of streaming TV content into the big 3.5-inch display screen with a 854×480 resolution.The Viera TV Phone has a sliding keyboard that is hidden when not in use, and features a 2 megapixel camera for the photos and videos that can be recorded/played at 30 frames-per-second.

Other details are scarce so far, but the numbers of the battery life are known - 230 minutes of talk-time, or 160 minutes of video.

If you didn’t buy an Asus Eee PC, you probably know someone that owns one, and if that’s not true either, I am sure you heard of the thing, at least that! When I saw it for the first time, I was quite surprised, and didn’t expect to see it sell so well. I usually don’t believe what the local press says, not “official” reports from local retailers either, but I have friends working in the field, and I know for sure that the Asus Eee PC had really strong sales. I see no problem with that, but Sony seems to have nightmares about the Eee PC leeping it up…
