Good lord we hope this one is true. Word on the street is that the Samsung F700, aka the Samsung Croix, will be coming to the US. The rumor places the phone in the loving hands of Verizon, but there’s no word on just when or how that might happen. The Croix is one heck of a phone, sporting a 3 megapixel camera, gorgeous screen, and HTC-style sliding QWERTY keyboard. But we all know how Samsung gets down with the keyboards, so watch out. The current GSM/HSDPA combo would obviously be replaced by a CDMA/EV-DO Rev. A chipset, but all other relevant details would remain the same. As always, we’ll wait until the writing is on the wall before declaring victory, but we’d be pretty happy if this panned out.

Every once in a while a technology is presented at a trade show that truly captures the imagination. NeuroSky is such a product. It allows a user to control a computer or smartphone using only brainwaves. NeuroSky is intended for simple applications today but speaks volume about the direction of technology in the future.

Neurons that comprise the brain work on electrical impulses. Brainwaves of different wavelengths indicate emotional states, such as awareness, meditation, and drowsiness. NeuroSky utilizes a headset-sensor that measures changes in emotional state, processing the information on a computer or Windows Mobile device.

According to Neurosky, the technology has immediate applications for games, consumer electronics, health, wellness, education and training. The company is not planning to roll the technology out themselves. They are seeking other manufacturers to license the technology to create a variety of end-user products.
