    We here at Engadget tend to spend a lot of way too much time poring over the latest FCC filings, be it on the net or directly on the ol’ Federal Communications Commission’s site. Since we couldn’t possibly (want to) cover all the stuff that goes down there individually, we’ve gathered up an exhaustive listing of every phone and / or tablet getting the stamp of approval over the last week. Enjoy!

  • The Engadget Show is live, here at 6:00PM ET!

    Hots Technology

    Man, what a show we’ve got for you this month. For starters, we popped by the Smithsonian, to check out the museum’s Art of the Video Game exhibit. And while the awesome Fifth Avenue Frogger game didn’t actually make it into those hallowed halls, we did take a close up look at the hacked arcade cabinet for the show. Speaking of video games (which we seem to be doing a lot these days), we’ll also pay a visit to the newly reborn Chinatown Fair and speak to the directors of Indie Game: The Movie. All of that, plus a performance by musician Alex Winston and the month’s latest and greatest gadgets. Keep your browsers locked to this spot!

  • VIA unveils fanless, Eden X2-packing AMOS-3002, promises tiny dual-core PC in your car

    VIA is planning to get some serious mileage out of its Eden X2 processor — in the most literal sense possible. It’s now producing the AMOS-3002, a Pico-ITX-sized PC intended for in-car infotainment and other situations where an embedded PC needs to have a little more juice for media tasks. The Eden X2 in question comes in a dual-core 1GHz flavor that’s completely fanless, but it’s fast enough to show 1080p video (when your car is parked, we hope) and can handle more intensive work like dual gigabit Ethernet jacks, optional 3G and even a 2.5-inch hard drive. That breadbox-sized shell can also take a lot of abuse, surviving temperatures between -4F and 140F as well as 50 Gs’ worth of shock. You’ll have to wait until your favorite car designer or digital sign maker uses the AMOS-3002 to see it in action, but until then, you can get the full details after the break.

  • The de/Rastra oscillographic synthesizer will make you wish you hadn’t tossed out that old TV set

    Hots Technology

    You know the old saying: one man’s trash is another man’s oscillographic synthesizer. The de/Rastra project from Kyle Evans takes an old CRT set and turns it into an audio / visual work of art, courtesy of four force sensing resistors, an accelerometer and several switches. Evans’s goal with the project was unlocking the “capabilities intrinsic to all CRT devices” in order to “[break] down the device’s ‘consumption only’ nature.” The result is a rather spectacular performance art video. You’ll be able to join in on the fun as well, as Evans plans to offer up tutorials on his hacking methods. In the meantime, you can brush up on your dance moves by checking out the video after the break.

  • Researchers use virus’s rogue traits to create electricity from motion

    Viruses are the swarming bullies of biology, but it turns out their alarming self-replication could one day power your iPod. We’ve seen them in batteries before, but researchers at Berkeley Labs have now coated electrodes with modified M13 bacteriophage, a harmless bacteria-eating virus, to create the first ever organic piezoelectric material — which can convert force to electricity. The team explained that such a substance would be non-toxic, organize naturally into thin layers and self-regenerate, giving it a possible advantage over chemical options. In theory, by attaching a thin film of it to your shoes, power could be generated when walking, lending volts to the myriad electronics we pack around nowadays. To see a finger-powered video demo of our frequent-enemies making themselves useful for a change, stroll on past the break.

  • Fujitsu collar monitor proves that all dogs go to the cloud

    Sure, you’re having a grand old time in the cloud, but what fun is it, really, if you can’t bring your pets along? Fujitsu today announced a new collar-mounted device designed to monitor your dog’s activity level. This one does more than just filling up a Twitter stream, however, aimed at actually providing helpful health monitoring, including activity, external temperature and the like to a cloud-based health service set to launch later this year. According to Fujitsu, the device is small and lightweight, with minimal power consumption, assuring that your canine can wear it at all times, so you can monitor your pet’s activity while you’re away. Not much in the way of availability at present, but you can find a bit more info in the PR after the break.

    TERA isn’t quite two weeks old, but it’s already offering up some spectacular views. Kromic on the Dragonfall server paused while riding on his mount to take this shot. He writes in,

    While doing some exploring on my trusty steed in TERA, I found a great view of the capital city Velika.

    His screenshot is just after the cut, along with three more images of woodland critters doing their duty to spice up our MMO scenery.

    Pebble ties itself up in Twine: sounds so rustic, couldn

    Take an e-ink smartwatch that’s got plenty of willing customers, throw in a WiFi-connected sensor box and well, imagine the possibilities. The founders behind Pebble and Twine hope you are, because they have announced that the pair will be connectable through the latter’s web-based interface. This means you’ll be able to setup text notifications to your wrist when your laundry’s done, when someone’s at your door and plenty more mundane real-world tasks. A brief video explains how it should all go down, but try not to get too excited — pre-orders are sadly sold out.

    Lenovo ThinkPad USB 3.0 dock lends its ports to your deprived laptop via DisplayLink, available May 15th for $180

    We’ve all been there. When you run into a scenario where your kit is one USB port short of an ideal workflow. Fret not, the ThinkPad USB 3.0 dock from Lenovo will provide help with said issue when it arrives later this month. Powered by DisplayLink’s DL-3900 graphics chip, the peripheral adds five of the aforementioned USB ports, dual DVI jacks for implementing multiple displays and both gigabit Ethernet and audio connections. Not too shabby for an expansion set that connects to your chosen workhorse over a single USB 3.0 cable. Looking to take the leap? You’ll have to wait a few days, but you can snag one from retailers around the globe for $179.99 beginning May 15th.

  • CERN scientists explain what would happen if you put your hand in the LHC’s beam (video)

    CERN scientists explain what would happen if you put your hand in the LHC

    Sure, concerns about the Large Hadron Collider creating a world-destroying black hole may have been more or less put to rest, but there’s still plenty of pressing questions that remain unanswered. Like, what would happen if you put your hand in the beam? The folks from Sixty Symbols recently asked some physicists that very question and got some rather puzzled responses, so they went straight to CERN itself to get a definitive answer. You can see that in full after the break, but the short version is that it’s something like the force of a moving aircraft carrier concentrated down to a laser-like one-millimeter-wide beam (accompanied by a wider beam of particles that would irradiate your entire body). Bad news. As they’re quick to point out, though, actually getting anywhere near the beam is virtually impossible.
