Motoring: smart forspeed Electric Roadster concept unveiled

While we've never found Mercedes Benz's smart line of cars appealing, we like what we see with this futuristic new concept vehicle. The smart forspeed Electric Roadster will never see production (sigh!) but a number of its design elements and underlying technologies will. The smart forspeed accelerates from 0 to 60 km/h in just 5.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 120 km/h. A 30 kW magneto-electric motor is installed at the rear of the smart forspeed and the vehicle concept provides an immediate powerful response from stationary. They should put a few of these in an upcoming Transformers movie.

Sony Ericsson's Android Tablet prototype pic leaked

We knew it would be a matter of time before we got word of a Sony Ericsson Android tablet. The upcoming Android based 4G tablet device has been photographed by NieuweMobiel  a Dutch technology blog at the TDIA stand in the Mobile World Congress, Barcelona. The report on ITproportal states,

"TDIA officials at the stand told NieuweMobiel that the device would run on Google's Android platform but were not clear about the software version. The tablet is also equipped with 4G technology which is yet to become available in the UK, so there may well be wifi and 3D versions released on the market in the future."

From the photo, it seems this tablet has a 7" inch screen and sports a front facing camera. The home, menu and back buttons are visible as well. It is likely that this will be a tablet with voice capability.
