Best Buy outs upcoming Logitech solar-powered keyboard case for the iPad

Thanks to a Best Buy listing, it seems that the retailer might have let the cat out of the bag a tad early pertaining to a Logitech keyboard case for Apple's iPad. The keyboard case/stand combo is expected to weigh 15.9 ounces and will come with integrated solar panels in the back. As much as we'd like to think that the solar panels will actually charge the iPad, it's actually meant for the keyboard which means that you will not have to worry about it running out of battery, unless of course you plan to use it in a dark room for days on end. It will pair with your iPad via Bluetooth and is expected to retail for $129.99.

Huawei partners with Intel to test TD-LTE interoperability in China

Through its partnership with Huawei, Chipzilla - a newbie in the smartphone arena - will be able to engage in end-to-end testing of its mobile equipment and verify its readiness for TD-LTE.

RIM unveils NFC enabled Blackberry Music Gateway

During the Blackberry Solutions Showcase in Orlando, RIM unveiled the Blackberry Music Gateway which allows users to stream music on their Blackberry devices onto another device simply by pairing it with either Bluetooth, or NFC which can be found in some Blackberry phones such as the Bold 9900. This would essentially turn Blackberry devices or even the Playbook tablet into a wireless remote control for wireless music playback. While ideally the Music Gateway should be linked to a music system, it has been reported that it would also be compatible with car stereos as well.

In other words, why should we have a separate device to interact with each type of wireless signal. And so, with that intriguing question, begins the pitch for a new device call Phi. It's a $750 antennae-laden PCIe card that slots into a desktop and gathers up wireless signals that are flying around the home - so long as they have a frequency below 4GHz and don't involve bank-busting neutrinos.
