Litl working on a settop box with smartphone-like remote, not scared of Google

You’ve got to hand it to Litl — even after the Webbook failed to impress, the startup is still trudging though the gadget trenches. And there’s no doubt that the new settop box it’s tinkering with sounds interesting: like the Webbook, it will run Litl’s very own Linux OS , and will be based on a browser and web apps — in fact, the company is launching an SDK for the Flash-based HTPC tomorrow at the Flash and the City conference. The most interesting thing to us is the cute little touchscreen remote, which will apparently let you control the UI from the couch with multitouch gestures

Evoluce 47-inch HD multitouch display gets off-screen gesture control

Evoluce, the manufacturers of that mammoth 47-inch full HD touchscreen , are out of control! Apparently, they’ve decided that unlimited simultaneous touch inputs (and thus unlimited simultaneous phalanges) was not enough, so they’ve gone an’ added gesture support — up to half a meter from the device. Apparently this bad boy supports Windows 7, although if you want your interface du jour to put the “unlimited” in “multitouch” you’ll most likely have to roll your own.

Aigo debuts Maemo-based Walkshow NX7001 MID

We’re not quite sure what’s gotten into Aigo these days, but we’re not about to try to stop ‘em — the company has just followed up its impressive-looking N700 Android tablet with this Maemo -based Walkshow NX7001 MID. While this one isn’t quite as sleek as the Android tablet and has a few drawbacks (a resistive touchscreen, for starters), it is a Mameo-based MID, which isn’t exactly all that common these days — DIY jobs aside. The rest of the device’s specs also look to be decent enough, if not necessarily all that impressive, including an 806MHz Marvell PXA310 processor, a 4.3-inch WVGA display, 128MB of RAM, built-in WiFi, 3G and GPS, dual cameras, and a microSD card slot for expansion

NPD: 75 percent of US iPhone, iPod touch users download content, other 25 percent think Opera Mini is a tiny concert

While we can’t honestly imagine an iDevice user going about their life without connecting to the iTunes App Store at least once in a blue moon — if not on a semi-permanent basis — the statistically-significant NPD Group decided to look into the matter regardless. Sure enough, the org reports that a full three-quarters of iPhone and iPod touch users in the US do indeed download apps and entertainment content from the internet.

Bill Gates: Microsoft pursuing ‘a lot of’ tablet projects, pen-based input will be ‘mainstream for students’

Few people would’ve taken the news of the Courier’s demise lightly, and while Microsoft sought to comfort us, it’s never quite as reassuring as when you hear it from the progenitor himself: “Microsoft has a lot of different tablet projects that we’re pursuing. We think that work with the pen that Microsoft pioneered will become a mainstream for students.
