The verdict’s still out on whether or not it’ll live up to its namesake, but the HTC Incredible is now officially out in the wild and surfing on Verizon’s frequencies. Pocketnow managed to obtain a few details along with a batch of leaked photos and video, so here’s what we’re being told: Snapdragon processor, Android 2.1 with Sense UI, 256MB of RAM, optical mouse pointer, and dual LED flash for the camera. The screen’s about 3.5 or 3.7 inches, WVGA resolution and possibly AMOLED. Traditionally shaky video reveal after the break.
[Thanks, Ray]

Entelligence is a column by technology strategist and author Michael Gartenberg, a man whose desire for a delicious cup of coffee and a quality New York bagel is dwarfed only by his passion for tech. In these articles, he’ll explore where our industry is and where it’s going — on both micro and macro levels — with the unique wit and insight only he can provide.
We live in a world of diverse mobile devices. Laptops, smartphones and everything in between define the mobile experience of the 21st century. But what is the killer application for mobile computing? We all know the theory of killer apps — they’re the reason and the purpose people invest in new devices. The killer app in the early days of PCs was the VisiCalc spreadsheet. PageMaker and the creation of desktop publishing were the killer apps for the GUI-based PC, most notably the Macintosh. But for mobile, it’s not as clear; some people think the killer app for mobile is email, while other say it’s the mobile web. Personally, I don’t think there’s one specific killer application — I think the killer app for mobile is simply context.

What do three bloggers huddled around microphones in frigid locales across the country have on 22 of America’s beefiest athletes gathered on the field in Miami? An iPhone app. Oh, actually, no. But Josh Tops, Nilz, and P-Mill most certainly comprise the universe’s largest repository of JooJoo insight. That’s worth something, right?

Hey, now, this is some great news, right? The trouble-plagued Large Hadron Collider looks to be doing a bang up job in some of its primary tasks. After breaking the energy record previously held by the Tevatron particle accelerator back at the end of November, 2009, reports are now coming in that the LHC is, in fact, producing some extremely high energy collisions. A research team led by MIT, CERN and the KFKI Research Institute for Particle and Nuclear Physics in Budapest, Hungary have released a report detailing findings that the collisions are producing an “unexpectedly” high number of particles called mesons, subatomic particles composed of one quark and one antiquark. The research is considered one of the first steps in the search for rarer particles, and the elusive, theoretical Higgs Boson. The paper, published in the Journal of High Energy Physics has led scientists to fine-tuning their predictive models for how many mesons will be found in even higher energy collisions. Hit the read link for the full, high energy news.

It’s just been a little over a week since IBM researchers announced that they managed to open up a bandgap for graphene-based field-effect transistors, but they’re now already back to show off what that’s made possible: a 100GHz graphene transistor. What’s more, this latest record-setting transistor (which IBM hopes will one day replace silicon transistors) was made using processing technology that’s compatible with that currently used in advanced silicon device fabrication, which should no doubt help speed up its eventual commercialization. Of course, any widespread adoption is still quite a ways away, but IBM says that this new transistor “demonstrates clearly that graphene can be utilized to produce high performance devices and integrated circuits.” For those keeping score, this first-of-its-kind transistor already beats the frequency performance of current state-of-the-art silicon transistors of the same gate length, which now top out at a mere 40GHz.

The first installment of Google’s fancy Nexus One design series focused on the sound quality of the device, and on the overall design. Well, part two is here now, and this time, we get to watch while HTC project manager Tomasz Hasinki and Android software engineer Romain Guy give us the goods on the Nexus One’s OLED display and the interactive, 3D framework. We’re expecting a couple more videos in the series, so grab a very tiny bowl of popcorn (it’s pretty short) and check out the video, which is after the break.

Start-up LensVector has brought the total financial backing of the company to more than $50M, to further develop its technology that can shape, steer and focus light without mechanical movement. “LensVector AutoFocus” is the world’s smallest autofocus device that uses a patented technology to transform a simple liquid crystal cell into a variable focus lens. Because the solid-state autofocus element has no moving parts, it is more rugged and reliable than mechanical alternatives. It can provide change of focus from infinity to 10 centimeters…
While going once more over the avalanche of new cameras so far this year, I realized that I missed another member of the colorful Olympus FE-family; the model FE-4020. The FE-4020 features a 14-megapixel CCD , a 26mm ultra-wide-angle 4x optical zoom lens and a Double-Layered Crystal Shell finish. It also comes with a Magic Filter that turns everyday scenes into unique and powerful images, as well as AF Tracking and various other automatic functions. The camera will be available by the end of this month for 149.99…
