US researchers have developed a system called Skinput which uses a tiny projector to display menu choices on your arm. You can then select what you want by tapping your arm. The idea is that this input method could be used to allow you to control mobile phones or MP3 players. This is under the banner of Microsoft Research and comes in response to the fact that the main thing preventing further miniaturization of devices is actually our own ability to operate them, input controls have to big enough for our fingers.

Apparently the acoustic signals given off by tapping various parts of the arm are very easy to detect and sensors can pick up the information before the software interprets it. The other big advantage to this control method is the accuracy. People can pinpoint exact spots on the body with relative ease and so there will be far fewer input mistakes than with a typical keypad. The project has no timescale for completion but it may result in mobile phones the size of a wristwatch.

In a press release Nintendo has revealed that they will be showing off a new 3D handheld, dubbed the Nintendo 3DS, at E3 in June this year. The new handheld will go on sale sometime in the fiscal year which ends in March 2011. The big news is that it will support 3D without the need for glasses. It will also be backwards compatible with Nintendo DS and DSi titles. The details are so scant at the moment that we can’t be certain about anything but it seems likely the new device will have a sensor to track movement (possibly using two cameras) so it can chart player movement.

This is a big move from Nintendo with 3D only starting to make an appearance in the market and the audience still, as yet, unproven. It could just be a bit of hype to try and boost their flagging performance but if it’s true the next generation handheld war could be closer than we think.

It may not be widely available yet but 4G wireless is coming. Currently Clearwire offer the service and they can provide download speeds between 3Mbps and 6Mbps. Although 4G will be pushed as a mobile phone service Clearwire are reporting people taking the service as an alternative to broadband and there is speculation that it might start to pick up some market share in that sector. The advantages are obvious with no wires or modem to worry about and subscribers can access the web anywhere.

Verizon are also building a 4G network right now and they’ve been reporting test speeds of 6Mbps up to 12Mbps. There is speculation that 4G may be charged on a usage basis and if that’s the case then most people won’t switch from cable or DSL. It is also never going to reach the kind of top speeds you can get with premium broadband. No doubt 4G will take off with mobile phones but we’ll have to wait and see if it goes any further.

Microsoft showed off the new range of Windows 7 phones at their Mix event but they didn’t let anyone get hands on. The prototypes were still impressive enough to create a fair bit of excitement and several commentators are already describing the Windows 7 phone as an iPhone killer. They’ve certainly thought it out carefully and the visual design and functionality looks really good. This is a whole new interface. They have also already been supporting application and game developers so there is a wealth of content ready to go and a lot more on the way.

Their consolidated services and app marketplace promise to be user friendly and will leverage existing Microsoft services (Xbox Live and Zune). The thing is the iPhone already has an unassailable lead and Android based phones are making steady progress so it might prove tough for the new Windows OS to make much of a splash. Until they actually allow some reviewers to play with the phone and check out performance and specifics we can’t be sure whether this will be a real contender.

The online gaming service OnLive has been in development for some time. The basic idea is that you can play games across the web without the latest hardware because the game is streamed at high speed to your low end PC, TV or even mobile phone. The people behind it are hailing it as a potential console beater and instead of paying out for hardware gamers can just pay for access to the latest games. However the service will cost a basic $14.95 per month and subscribers will need to pay to buy or rent games over and above that.

Several publishers have signed up and the release date of June 17th this year has been set. The service will only be available in North America to begin with and release dates for the UK, Europe and the rest of the world have not been announced. The whole thing will obviously rely on top broadband speeds but the idea of being able to play games without having to outlay several hundred on a high end games machine or the latest console has obvious merits. We’ll just have to see if it catches on.

Can’t help feeling that the announcement of Power Gig: Rise of the Six String has come far too late to create any real interest. Fans of Guitar Hero and even Rock Band will be very familiar with the concept by now and there are plenty of other clones in the now huge music game genre. The difference here is that Power Gig uses real guitars. You can plug them into an amp and play guitar for real and you can plug them into your PS3 or Xbox 360, clamp the strings and use them to play the game.

The bizarre thing is they seem to have missed the chance to use it as a genuine learning tool by simplifying the music for the game. If it really allowed enthusiasts to learn real chords and potentially assisted their learning real guitar you could see the attraction. The all important song list has yet to be announced but this is a game which could well sink without trace.
