You are currently feasting your eyes on the world’s thinnest 2,500 Lumen projector. Created by the people over at Casio, the projector is 1.7-inches thick (or is it thin?) and weights just 3.7 pounds.
Featuring a respectable 2,500 Lumens, the projector will not only improve your viewing pleasure, it will run you about $2,263

Not content with being emblazoned across guitars, breath inspectors and schoolgirl clips, Hello Kitty’s latest foray takes it into the audio department - and onto the highway.
The pink ‘Pod player plugs into the car’s cigarette lighter and plays tunes through the radio. Of course, the only tracks that’ll sound suitable blaring from this baby will be of the Girls Aloud variety…
Hot on the heels of Nokia’s own bus stop gimmick comes none other than Solo, which has erected a clever display on a number of waiting areas to allow perfect strangers to yap it up on giant mobiles. The interactive billboards each sport a larger-than-usual flip phone, which allows curious onlookers to mash an enlarged walkie talkie button and get on the horn with a faraway stranger. The active two-way radio setup was reportedly installed in transit shelters in Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto, and Calgary, and the system supposedly connects users in the different cities to one another when a conversation is initiated. Unfortunately, Engadget HQ doesn’t happen to reside in the land of the Canucks, so for our brethren in the north, why not stop on by and give a shout to a fellow Canadian, eh?

This year’s RoboCup is still a few months away but entrants are already getting a chance to size up some of the competition, with Team Osaka unveiling its roster of players this week in Japan. As you can see in the videos on the site linked below, the bots are definitely built to impress, able to make diving saves and kick the ball better than many of their human counterparts, although they don’t appear to have quite mastered the head-butt just yet. From the looks of it, the VisiON 4G robot will make up the majority of the team, with the larger Vstone810 bot apparently playing the role of enforcer. The bots aren’t spending all their time on the pitch, however, with them also available to do your bidding at a cost of Â¥1,000,000 or more (over $8,300) for the VisiON 4G and “several million” Yen for the Vstone810.

OCZ may have recently laid claim to the title of some of the world’s fastest RAM, but Samsung seems to have found room to do a little boasting of its own, trotting out its first 4GB DDR2 DIMM based on WSP (or wafer-level-processed stacked package) technology. According to the company, that process not only makes the module smaller, but faster and more energy efficient as well. Not so clear, unfortunately, is what effect the seemingly cure-all technology will have on pricing or availability, with no word on either from Samsung as of yet.
