KDE Marble Desktop Globe 1.1

Developers have released Marble 1.1, which implements a model of the earth and provides a world atlas linked to various additional sources of information such as Wikipedia. It is in some ways similar to Google Earth, but is more targeted towards educational applications.

You can choose from a variety of map styles, such as topographic layout, satellite view, or street map. Temperature and precipitation annotations can be added as well.
The release includes several new features that were developed as part of the Google Code-in event. One of the new functions is a map creation wizard that simplifies the process of creating additional map schemes. For example, if you wanted to create a map that displays the distribution of ground water across the globe you could use this tool to create the required files and distribute them other users.
Marble 1.1 was released on April 15th, 2011. This release is special: With many new features being developed during Google Code-in (GCI) we decided to make an early release between the usual ones synchronized with the other KDE applications. The Marble library released alongside is binary compatible with the one shipped with Marble 1.0. 
See the release announcement for more information.

Toshiba announces 1mm-thick 7-inch LCD touchscreen

The Toshiba Mobile Display division has come up with an integrated touch panel that’s only as thick as a dime. The company has developed a 7-inch LCD panel that’s just 1mm thick.

The low temperature poly-silicone (LTPS) thin-film transistor (TFT) liquid crystal display (LCD) is less than half as thick as a conventional LCD touchscreen. Toshiba said the technology, compared to conventional LCDs that require an extra touch panel layer to be applied, provides a better picture, and is 57 percent less thick, 48 percent lighter at 225 grams, and has a 10 percent less surface reflection ratio.

This is good news for manufacturers since they won’t have to go through the process of adding a touch panel to the LCD. Toshiba is marketing this as a technology to use for vehicle mounts, and for industrial applications.

Toshiba said its smaller size “enables the design of more compact products for mobile applications.” It also reduces the impact on the environment by saving resources and power.

The LCD can be seen first at the SID 2011 International Symposium, Seminar, and Exhibition taking place in Los Angeles next month. If it lives up to the hype we don’t expect this display just to be used in vehicles or industrial settings. Thinner screens are desirable for both smartphone and tablet devices, and a 7-inch screen makes it perfect for tablets.
