Sure, in the past we’ve got a hearty chuckle out of initiatives that involved Redfly terminals and Clippy variants , but the question remains: how can we get cutting-edge tech into the hands of soldiers faster? We’ve recently come across some RFIs for DARPA projects aimed at developing apps and an App Store for Android and the iPhone OS, with two in particular — Mobile Apps for the Military (DARPA-SN-10-27), and Transformative Apps (DARPA-BAA-10-41) — catching our eye

We didn’t exactly get the best look at Sony’s new ultra-compact concept camera at PMA last month, but the company is now thankfully starting to reveal a few more details about the “DSLR quality” camera.

Being drip-fed information on the HTC Supersonic is unlikely to be as pleasant an experience as actually having one, but it’s all we can do to fill the time until this beast of a phone finally makes its official debut (probably on Sprint ).

In a world full of stylish pocket camcorders , there are few reasons to recommend Coby’s ho-hum Snapp series, which has only just now managed the transition from cheap plastic junk to tasteful Flip knockoff with today’s introduction of the CAM3001, CAM4505 and CAM5001 Snapp HD.

Trainspotters, eagle-eyed bloggers, and tech detectives of all stripes have had a field day with last night’s iPad commercial . At the very least, we got a pretty good look at some e-book prices , ranging from Ted Kennedy’s True Compass: A Memoir ($14.99) to Three Cups of Tea: One Man’s Journey to Change the World… One Child at a Time by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin ($7.99)

Where art thou Dell Adamo XPS ? That’s the question this poor error page seems to be asking when customers attempt to order the insanely thin laptop on Dell’s site. Though it only went on sale back in late November, Dell.com no longer has the crazily designed, $1,799 laptop up for purchase

Samsung hasn’t yet abased itself to competing head-on with the lowest price netbooks out there, but its Samsung Go can at least vaguely keep up with the times spec-wise, notching up from the N310 to the N315 model name in the process. The $429 rubber-clad netbook has been bumped to an Atom N450 processor, along with Windows 7 Starter, 1GB of RAM and Intel GMA 1350 graphics. Just in case you were scared of getting bored, Samsung and The New York Times are keeping up with their chummy relationship , pre-installing Times Reader 2.0 on the laptop

Spring Design’s Alex e-reader has certainly had one of the more interesting product launches in recent years and, with an actual release now seemingly imminent , it’s finally turned up in the FCC’s hands. There’s not many surprises left at this point, but the agency has at least treated us to a peek inside the device, and offered us our first look at the device’s user manual

Is there room for a product that’s part digital picture frame, part all-in-one PC, but mostly just a monitor? Acer seems to think so, and it’s doing its best to carve out a niche for itself with its new 24-inch D241H model, which promises to do nothing short of “revolutionize the way you use a monitor.” To accomplish that feat, the monitor packs built-in WiFi, along some basic internet / media player capabilities that will let you check your email, keep watch on the news, weather and other things via some widgets, or simply enjoy some music, photos or videos. You’ll also get a built-in memory card reader, a pair of USB ports, a wired LAN port, and an apparently included wireless keyboard (no touchscreen here, folks)
