Bridgestone rolls with air-free tire concept
The days of flat tires and spares are numbered. Sure, self-inflating tires are all well and good, but don't protect from the darn puncture itself. Similar to Michelin's tweels, Bridgestone has cooked up some air-free concept tires that use a use a tough but flexible thermoplastic structure that behaves like a normal tire with nary any horizontal force produced. Each wheel is able to support around 150kg, although on a typical electric mobility scooter the load is more likely to approach 50kg. Bridgestone is looking to show off those curved, hypnotic spokes on the retail model, but is still researching how to protect against objects getting lodged inside. Roll over the break to see those spokes in action and imagine a future without puncture repair kits.

eLocity A7+ tablet is now on sale
A tablet here, a tablet there, Old McDonald had a tablet…I suppose there is a new kind of primary school song that we can teach our kids to sing even right now, considering how the tablet craze does not seem to stop with a spanking new tablet seemingly appearing once in a couple of days from the myriad of manufacturers out there. One of the latest models to arrive on store shelves, virtual or otherwise, would be the eLocity A7+ tablet that will sport the Tegra 2 system on a chip, not to mention a 7″ touchscreen display at 1024 x 600 resolution which should be crisp enough for your everyday use.
The asking price for this puppy? We’re looking at just $229.99 a pop, where you can pick it up from J&R, NewEgg.com, ShopNBC as well as other prominent US retailers. ShopNBC is said to start airing customized eLocity A7+ value bundle sales from December 8th onwards, all the way to the 19th, 2011. What makes the eLocity A7+ so special to receive this kind of seemingly royal treatment? For starters, this is a limited edition release for the upcoming holiday season, and will be available only while stocks last. Orders placed will be shipped to consumers almost immediately, so as the saying goes, the early bird gets the worm – you might want to be an early bird in this case to get yours before Christmas day.
Samsung shows off flexible display concept tablet in video
Some time earlier this year there were concept drawings of a Samsung phone with a flexible OLED display. This was a rather intriguing concept that we didn’t think would be happening anytime soon, but we were then proved wrong as Samsung stepped forward and said that flexible display smartphones were in the works and would be introduced some time in 2012.
Now Samsung’s Mobile Display Division has released a new concept video of what a transparent and flexible tablet of the future could look like and what it could accomplish. We’re guessing that Samsung’s flexible smartphone for 2012 won’t be anything like the concept video, but we definitely like where Samsung’s ideas are headed.
It showcases a tablet that can be shrunk and expanded according to our needs, augmented reality translation, and what appears to be 3D imagery as well that seems to literally leap off your screen. Check out the video below to see what Samsung’s Mobile Display Division has managed to cook up!

MIPS tablet is the “world’s first” Android 4.0 tablet for under $100
Android’s Ice Cream Sandwich is supposed to be the version of Android that bridged Gingerbread and Honeycomb, allowing both smartphone and tablet users the same experience across the board. Unfortunately Ice Cream Sandwich tablets have yet to be released/updated – at least until now.
Thanks to MIPS Technologies, you can now get your hands on what they’re claiming to be the world’s first Ice Cream Sandwich tablet, and the good news is that it will not be breaking the bank! It will retail for $99 but because it is being shipped from China via Ainol Electronics Co., the folks down at Android Central reportedly paid an additional $66 for shipping.
So what can we expect from a $100 tablet? For starters the MIPS tablet will run on a 1GHz MIPS-based XBurst CPU with a Vivante GC860 GPU, a 7” display with WiFi, Bluetooth, HDMI and microSD support, with Android’s Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 on board. Not the most impressive of specs but according to MIPS, Google’s Andy Rubin was quoted as saying:
