That venture is the company's move into digital binoculars with two models - the DEV-5 and DEV-3 - which boast full HD video recording, 7.1 megapixel still capture, optical image stabilization, 3D recording, HDMI output and (on the more expensive DEV-5) geotagging via an in-built GPS receiver. <a href="/web/20111007182146/http://www.gizmag.com/sony-3d-dev-binoculars/19579/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20111007182146/http://www.gizmag.com/aerogizmo/" style="float: left; ">AERO GIZMO</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111007182146/http://www.gizmag.com/787-final-certification-flight-test/19566/">787 Dreamliner completes flight testing</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111007182146/http://www.gizmag.com/author/noel-mckeegan/">Noel McKeegan</a></p> <p><em>21:12 August 18, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="/web/20111007182146im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111007182146/http://www.gizmag.com/787-final-certification-flight-test/19566/#comments">2 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="/web/20111007182146im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111007182146/http://www.gizmag.com/787-final-certification-flight-test/19566/picture/140303/">9 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111007182146/http://www.gizmag.com/787-final-certification-flight-test/19566/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111007182146im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/787-dreamliner-certification.png" title="Boeing 787 completes flight testing for type certification with Rolls-Royce engines (Photo..." alt="Boeing 787 completes flight testing for type certification with Rolls-Royce engines (Photo..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>It's been <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111007182146/http://www.gizmag.com/787-dreamliner-completes-ultimate-load-test/14663/" target="_blank">bent</a>, scraped along the runway, frozen to -42 degrees C, flown over 1700 flights and spent almost 5000 hours in the air - now the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111007182146/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/787/" target="_blank">787 Dreamliner</a> has completed the final flight tests required for type certification with Rolls-Royce engines. <a href="/web/20111007182146/http://www.gizmag.com/787-final-certification-flight-test/19566/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20111007182146/http://www.gizmag.com/mobiletechnology/" style="float: left; ">MOBILE TECHNOLOGY</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111007182146/http://www.gizmag.com/jawbone-era-review/19544/">Jawbone ERA Bluetooth headset review</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111007182146/http://www.gizmag.com/author/noel-mckeegan/">Noel McKeegan</a></p> <p><em>00:47 August 17, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="/web/20111007182146im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111007182146/http://www.gizmag.com/jawbone-era-review/19544/#comments">3 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="/web/20111007182146im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111007182146/http://www.gizmag.com/jawbone-era-review/19544/picture/140060/">8 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111007182146/http://www.gizmag.com/jawbone-era-review/19544/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111007182146im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/jawbone-era-5.jpg" title="Jawbone ERA Bluetooth headset" alt="Jawbone ERA Bluetooth headset"/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Jawbone has built a reputation for producing slickly designed Bluetooth headsets and the company's latest flagship model - the Jawbone ERA - continues that tradition. The ERA is an exceptionally lightweight package that has 25 percent more audio output than previous models, an updated version of NoiseAssassin noise cancelling technology, an onboard processor and flash storage, but its the first ever inclusion of an accelerometer in the unit that has really grabbed attention. So is this a case of tech for tech's sake or does it actually add up to a better headset? We've been putting the ERA through its paces to find out. <a href="/web/20111007182146/http://www.gizmag.com/jawbone-era-review/19544/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20111007182146/http://www.gizmag.com/aerogizmo/" style="float: left; ">AERO GIZMO</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111007182146/http://www.gizmag.com/first-787-dreamliner-ana/19459/">Paintwork completed on first passenger-carrying 787 Dreamliner</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111007182146/http://www.gizmag.com/author/noel-mckeegan/">Noel McKeegan</a></p> <p><em>16:36 August 8, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="/web/20111007182146im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111007182146/http://www.gizmag.com/first-787-dreamliner-ana/19459/#comments">1 Comment</a> </p> <p><img src="/web/20111007182146im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111007182146/http://www.gizmag.com/first-787-dreamliner-ana/19459/picture/139428/">13 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111007182146/http://www.gizmag.com/first-787-dreamliner-ana/19459/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111007182146im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/787-dreamliner.png" title="ANA's first 787 Dreamliner rolled out of Boeing's paint hangar on August 6 (Photo: Boeing)" alt="ANA's first 787 Dreamliner rolled out of Boeing's paint hangar on August 6 (Photo: Boeing)"/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>The <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111007182146/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/787/" target="_blank">787 Dreamliner</a> is edging closer to delivery.

During this EV renaissance much of the focus has been on developing improved power sources like batteries and fuel cells in order to deliver the range and performance consumers have become accustomed to during the age of oil. Transmissions on the other hand, despite being so important in the ICE space, hardly rate a mention because the wide torque curve of electric motors makes them largely irrelevant. It could be time to rethink that approach according to U.K. based engineering firm Antonov. The company has produced a 3-speed transmission designed specifically for electric vehicles that promises to bring significant efficiency gains and a better driver experience. The company's Business Development Manager Dave Paul outlined these benefits in a presentation at the IDTechEX Electric vehicles conference this week in Stuttgart. <a href="/web/20111007182146/http://www.gizmag.com/antonov-3-speed-transmission-ev/19088/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <center class="snap_noshots"> <div class="next_prev"><strong> <span>1</span> <a href="/web/20111007182146/http://www.gizmag.com/author/noel-mckeegan/2/">2</a> <a href="/web/20111007182146/http://www.gizmag.com/author/noel-mckeegan/3/">3</a> <a href="/web/20111007182146/http://www.gizmag.com/author/noel-mckeegan/4/">4</a> <a href="/web/20111007182146/http://www.gizmag.com/author/noel-mckeegan/5/">5</a> <a href="/web/20111007182146/http://www.gizmag.com/author/noel-mckeegan/2/">Next </a> » </strong></div> </center> <div class="dotsontop">  <div id="search_form_bottom"> <form action="https://web.archive.org/web/20111007182146/http://www.gizmag.com/search/" id="cse-search-box-bottom"> <span class="title">Looking for something?
