Image: S2-P2-P6, by sculptor Roxy Paine . About a year ago I was wandering around Maker Faire Bay Area thinking about polymerization. Collin had recently posted his now-world-famous cymatics video , and I was standing around talking to the TAP plastics folks about whether it might be possible to “freeze” cymatic forms by applying the sound waves to some kind of polymer resin that could then be solidifed, almost instantaneously, by adding a drop or two of catalyst

We’ve seen a fair few universal remote add-ons for the iPhone and iPod Touch ( New Potato Technologies’ FLIPR , L5 Technology’s L5 Remote and, of course, the Power A iPhone Universal Remote Case being the most notable) and now we have another in the form of the i-Got Control Universal Remote which will work with the iPhone, iPod Touch and, when you eventually get it (assuming you ever wanted one), the Apple iPad tablet, thanks to being iPad-Ready. The i-Got Control iPhone, iPod Touch & iPad Universal Remote, which comes in the form of both hardware, namely a IRB1 accessory which connects to your device’s 30-pin dock connector, and a free i-Got-Control App, which is set to be offered via the App Store, is said to come complete with over 40,000 IR codes for consumer electronic devices already stored and, should you have a device that isn’t in the App’s database, there’s no need to worry as you’ll have the option of adding it thanks to ‘i-Got-Control’s user-friendly learning capabilities’.

Rumors of cell phones that run on the 4G network , which promises much faster downloads and uploads than today’s speediest networks, have been floating around for more than a year. Yet no phone maker or carrier has produced a 4G cellphone . That includes Sprint , the first and only carrier to actually have a 4G network in place.

It’s not really a shock that some of the the hi-tech geeks who work for Microsoft would enjoy the iPhone over the (usually) dreadful Windows Mobile devices. But, as it turns out, they’re forced to hide their iPhones from Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. Very few employees will use an iPhone openly, some disguise them in “old” smartphone cases (Palm Treo 680, anybody?).

You know I’ll tell you to grab a huge chunk of salt for this one, boys and girls, since the handset in the picture here looks too good to be true. The device is said to be one of LG’s upcoming Windows Phone 7 Series handsets and this time around we’re not talking about the LG Panther which we’ve already seen. Today we have a HTC HD2-like device here and I think that’s the best description/comparison I can make for you right now

I’m happy to officially announce you that the Google Nexus One is the first Android handset that has caught the attention of the all the major carriers in the USA. That’s right, Sprint has joined everyone else and not only has it done so but it also officially announced its own CDMA Google Nexus One through a regular old-school press release. T-Mobile is the first carrier of the Big Four that started selling Google’s phone and then it was quickly followed by Verizon, at least on paper
