The device was the I-slate, an <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111005005339/http://www.gizmag.com/i-slate-tablet-pc/16900/" target="_blank">ultra-low-cost tablet computer</a> that is being developed by the Institute for Sustainable and Applied Infodynamics (ISAID), a joint venture of Houston's Rice University and Singapore's Nanyang Technological University. The 10 to 13 year-old children were students at a rural school near Hyderabad, India. The tablet is designed for use in such impoverished schools, as each unit is expected to sell for less than US&#36;50, and future models will run on solar power. Now that the field tests are complete and the results have been analyzed, the I-slate is set to go into full production. <a href="/web/20111005005339/http://www.gizmag.com/i-slate-tablet-production/20049/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20111005005339/http://www.gizmag.com/scienceandeducation/" style="float: left; ">SCIENCE AND EDUCATION</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111005005339/http://www.gizmag.com/invisibility-cloak-mirages/20048/">New cloaking device is no mirage &#8211; but it's like one</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111005005339/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/">Ben Coxworth</a></p> <p><em>14:44 October 4, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="/web/20111005005339im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111005005339/http://www.gizmag.com/invisibility-cloak-mirages/20048/#comments">1 Comment</a> </p> <p></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111005005339/http://www.gizmag.com/invisibility-cloak-mirages/20048/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111005005339im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/miragecloak.jpg" title="A new 'invisibility cloak' utilizes the same effect that causes mirages to appear (Image: ..." alt="A new 'invisibility cloak' utilizes the same effect that causes mirages to appear (Image: ..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>You have no doubt seen mirages on the distant surfaces of hot highways before, looking like pools of water shimmering on the asphalt. Such illusions are caused by hot air above the road, which refracts light waves coming down into it from the cooler air above &#8211; in other words, the supposed &#8220;water&#8221; is actually the sky, its image being bent toward you by the low-lying hot air. Well, scientists at the University of Texas at Dallas have put the same principle to work in the lab, and created an invisibility cloak that can be easily switched on and off. <a href="/web/20111005005339/http://www.gizmag.com/invisibility-cloak-mirages/20048/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20111005005339/http://www.gizmag.com/onthewater/" style="float: left; ">ON THE WATER</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111005005339/http://www.gizmag.com/waterbuggy/20045/">Waterbuggy &#8211; a low speed sea-scooter for kids and families</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111005005339/http://www.gizmag.com/author/pawel-piejko/">Pawel Piejko</a></p> <p><em>13:50 October 4, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="/web/20111005005339im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111005005339/http://www.gizmag.com/waterbuggy/20045/#comments">1 Comment</a> </p> <p><img src="/web/20111005005339im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111005005339/http://www.gizmag.com/waterbuggy/20045/picture/143922/">13 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111005005339/http://www.gizmag.com/waterbuggy/20045/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111005005339im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/waterbuggy.jpg" title="Designed by Bodrum Marine Group, the Waterbuggy is equipped with a 10HP engine and offers ..." alt="Designed by Bodrum Marine Group, the Waterbuggy is equipped with a 10HP engine and offers ..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Riding a high speed <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111005005339/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/pwc/" target="_blank">personal water craft</a> (PWC) can be an exhilarating experience, but not everyone likes the adrenaline or the engine's roar. Aimed at those new to such water toys, or families with kids, the Waterbuggy is designed for calmer activities. Designed by the Turkey-based Bodrum Marine Group, the Waterbuggy offers a maximum speed of 8-10 km/h (5-6 mph) and can be reportedly operated by a child.

The iPhone 4S retains the ground-breaking Retina display technology and glass back of its predecessor, but has undergone something of an internal overhaul. Apple's new smartphone gets a brand new dual-core processor, an 8 megapixel camera capable of also shooting full high definition video, and a new personal assistant application that uses voice recognition. The 4S also promises up to double the previous download speeds and will be available on over 100 carriers worldwide. <a href="/web/20111005005339/http://www.gizmag.com/apple-launches-iphone-4s/20046/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20111005005339/http://www.gizmag.com/scienceandeducation/" style="float: left; ">SCIENCE AND EDUCATION</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111005005339/http://www.gizmag.com/nobel-physics-prize-awarded/20047/">Nobel Prize in Physics goes to expanding-universe researchers</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111005005339/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/">Ben Coxworth</a></p> <p><em>13:26 October 4, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p></p> <p></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111005005339/http://www.gizmag.com/nobel-physics-prize-awarded/20047/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111005005339im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/nobelphysics-1.jpg" title="The Nobel Prize in Physics for 2011 has been awarded to three scientists, whose research p..." alt="The Nobel Prize in Physics for 2011 has been awarded to three scientists, whose research p..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>For almost a hundred years, it has been widely accepted that the Universe is expanding, and that it&#8217;s been doing so ever since the Big Bang occurred approximately 14 billion years ago. It was initially assumed that the rate of expansion was slowly declining. What came as a surprise to many scientists, however, was the relatively recent announcement that the rate is in fact <em>increasing</em>. That was the remarkable conclusion reached by three physicists located in two countries, and it has just earned them the Nobel Prize in Physics for 2011. <a href="/web/20111005005339/http://www.gizmag.com/nobel-physics-prize-awarded/20047/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20111005005339/http://www.gizmag.com/electronics/" style="float: left; ">ELECTRONICS</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111005005339/http://www.gizmag.com/kodak-playfull-waterproof-video-camera/20041/">Kodak Playfull waterproof camcorder captures 720p underwater videos </a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111005005339/http://www.gizmag.com/author/pawel-piejko/">Pawel Piejko</a></p> <p><em>10:36 October 4, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p></p> <p><img src="/web/20111005005339im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111005005339/http://www.gizmag.com/kodak-playfull-waterproof-video-camera/20041/picture/143916/">5 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111005005339/http://www.gizmag.com/kodak-playfull-waterproof-video-camera/20041/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111005005339im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/kodak-playfull-waterproof-video-camera.jpg" title="Kodak has unveiled a waterproof version of its Playfull camcorder in the form of the Playf..." alt="Kodak has unveiled a waterproof version of its Playfull camcorder in the form of the Playf..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Kodak has expanded its pocket camcorder lineup with the announcement of the water-, dust- and shock-resistant cousin of the Playfull camera, the Kodak Playfull Waterproof Camera.

The tiny rocketships will be comprised of the all-wheel-drive drive-train and 480 bhp 3.8-liter twin-turbo V6 engine from the Nissan GT-R supercar wedged into Nissan's diminutive crossover city car. The cars are being built by RML for Nissan Technical Centre for Europe (NTC-E) with a view to testing the &#8220;public&#8217;s reaction to a seriously sporty Juke.&#8221; The performance of the tiny super-city car is not yet known, but given the horsepower and dimensions of the vehicle, it will no doubt be one of the fastest accelerating roadcars in existence.
