PocketCPR is designed to give audio and visual instructions to the user to make certain that he or she is following the instructions of CPR. It uses the accelerometer to measure the rate and depth of chest compressions to make certain they are done properly.

The PocketCPR is an over the counter device that you can buy for $149. You should be able to get it for $3.99 in App form.

Granted, my Source says that the FDA has not approved it for an actual emergency, which is why it has “Training Use Only” stamp on it. They already have medical apps with SMS assistance.

They are also planning to put the Gem, Verizon’s low-end Android phone on their buyer’s guide. It will have Android 2.1 and have TouchWiz 3.0 and Swype. It also has 16GB of microSD expansion, and a 3.2 Megapixel cam.

There isn’t really anything on the price, but my Source suggests something around $79.99.

However, they have created a dock for the iPod Touch and other Apple products with the Fidelio DS8550, which looks like some sort of sequel to the Fidelio DS9000.

There isn’t really much to be said about a speaker dock, other than it can do sound. It can do talk to the dock via Bluetooth, and has a battery power as well.

I don’t have a price or availability date for it, but I wouldn’t mind one.

The TOUGHBOOK CF19 has a 10.1 inch screen with XGA resolution, Core i5-540M (1.20 GHz) CPU, Intel QM57 Express chip set, 160 GB HDD, 2GB of memory Wi-Fi, and Windows 7.

Of course, it is pretty tough for a TOUGHBOOK. It is drop resistant up to 90 centimeters, and it is dust resistant and waterproof.

Panasonic plans on selling this in Japan as early as tomorrow, for $3,680.

It had what we expected, the 1024 x 600 10.1 inch touchscreen, Tegra 2, 16GB of storage, HDMI out, 802.11 WiFi, SD card slot, and a 1.3 Megapixel webcam.

It also has Android 2.2, plus 7 hours of regular battery use. It should have a bundle more under the hood as well.

According to my Source, the suggested retail price will be €399. Can that new, yet to be made, Samsung tablet do any better?

One of them is the TOUGHBOOK CF 31, and it is loaded with lots of features. It has a 13.1 inch screen with XGA resolution (1,024 x 768) and LED backlight, Core i5-520M (2.40 GHz) CPU, Intel QM57 Express chip set, 160 GB HDD, 2GB of memory Wi-Fi, and Windows 7.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a TOUGHBOOK if it wasn’t tough, and it is. It is drop resistant up to 120 centimeters, and it is dust resistant and waterproof.

Panasonic plans on selling this in Japan as early as tomorrow, for $5,400.

Apparently, a Samsung head of product planning named WP Hong is already making the next model. This new one is apparently being called the Honeycomb, but that could refer to the operating system which it uses.

After all, Android 2.2 is known as Froyo, and Android 3.0 is Gingerbread. By the way, the Tab is going to get an update to Gingerbread.

I’m sure we’ll be seeing more on this later.

However, does anyone remember the Walkman back in the eighties? Sure we do, but do we remember it now? In Japan, they sure do.

NAVTEQ, recently acquired by Nokia and the makers of the 500 PND, announced at the IFA show that they intend to “humanize” the GPS with directions like “turn right at the yellow store” and such.

This Natural Guidance will take a while to implement, and it could be a problem if landmarks change. It will be available in Chicago, London, Los Angeles, Berlin, Paris, and New York.

With the release of Twitter as a universal app that now includes iPad support (read the official announcement here) I feel confident that the reports of the death of 3rd party Twitter applications have been greatly exaggerated.

The UI for Twitter for iPad is, without question, unlike any other Twitter application that we've seen. Opinions around the TUAW offices differ on whether this difference is "awesome" or "an abomination." I definitely range towards the latter end of the scale, and judging by most of the comments of people that I follow on Twitter, the initial reaction is definitely one of "too busy" and "over designed."

This is in sharp contrast to Twitterrific, which just released a major update for the iPad and iPhone where the Iconfactory made dramatic simplifications to the app, while retaining the most important features for the most users. (Craig Hockenberry talked about those changes here.)

Samsung has proudly announced that they have sold a million units of Samsung Galaxy S (SHW-M110S) in South Korea. The Galaxy S has surpassed the Yu-Na Haptic phone that sold a million units in approximately 210 days. For your info, the handset features a 4-inch Super AMOLED display, a 5MP camera with 720p HD video recording and playback, Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth 3.0, GPS, T-DMB and more. [SamsungHub]

Samsung’s first attempt at an Android powered device has been immesnely successful with the Galaxy S. Not only does it feautre highly sought after specs like an AMOLED display and a 1GHz processor, but it has made its way to virtually every carrier in the United States. AT&T has the Samsung Captivate, T-Mobile the Samsung Vibrant, Sprint the Samsung Epic 4G and Verizon the Samsung Fascinate.

While all of these devices feature a similar form factor, the Epic 4G is the only device that features 4G connectivity and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.

However, it looks like Samsung has something else up their sleeve as they have just sent out invitations to an event in New York on September 16th. At this event, Samsung will be launching a new Android-powered smartphone that many believe will be a new model in the Galaxy S series.

Additionally, Samsung will also announce ‘Media Hub’ on the same day which is an online video store specifically targeting the company’s smartphone line up.
