Toshiba’s name was mysteriously absent from the list of MWC 2012 attendees this year, but the company did manage to discreetly show off some new hardware at Nvidia’s booth. As you might expect given the real estate, the yet-unnamed tablet runs Nvidia’s Tegra 3 processor, so it games like a champ. As you may not expect, the 7.7-inch screen is actually OLED, making it one of the larger OLED models we’ve seen along with Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 7.7 (which actually launches on Verizon today). Besides the ultra-vivid OLED screen, the 7.7-inch display size lends itself nicely to gaming since your thumbs can easily reach all parts of the screen, and it’s quite thin and lightweight. Full specs were not available, but judging by the quality of product at MWC, we’re guessing we’ll hear more from Toshiba on this one shortly.

This crazy headband uses music and brainwaves to make you a better athlete

A person wearing the Alphabeats headband.

This company wants you to put on a headband and listen to music while the device's sensors in it read your brainwaves to help you focus and to increase your sporting performance. It’s called Alphabeats, and the electroencephalogram (EEG) headband combines with your choice of music and an app on your phone to help train your brain to either stay in its top-focused state or concentrate on its requirements in the moment, whether that’s relaxation, recovery, or sleep.

Aimed at professional ahtletes or highly motivated amateurs, Alphabeats won a CES 2023 Innovation award and is now available for pre-order. It costs $499 at the moment, but the price will increase to $689 after the promotional period ends. You probably won’t be surprised to learn (given the recent growing and unfortunate trend) that this price includes a year’s subscription to the service, but at the time of writing, there’s no information about how much the subscription will cost after the first year.

Here’s how Apple could change your iPhone forever

Over the past few months, Apple has released a steady stream of research papers detailing its work with generative AI. So far, Apple has been tight-lipped about what exactly is cooking in its research labs, while rumors circulate that Apple is in talks with Google to license its Gemini AI for iPhones.

But there have been a couple of teasers of what we can expect. In February, an Apple research paper detailed an open-source model called MLLM-Guided Image Editing (MGIE) that is capable of media editing using natural language instructions from users. Now, another research paper on Ferret UI has sent the AI community into a frenzy.

OnePlus' merger back into its parent company, Oppo, has been both good and bad for the "Never Settle" brand. While OnePlus has seen a dismaying downfall in the quality of its previously distinctive interface, it has helped make up for that in camera performance -- thanks in large part to Oppo's partnership with imaging stalwart Hasselblad. That collaboration is rumored to bear fruit once again, this time in the form of a flip phone with a robust camera.
