RSS feeds have pretty much remained the same way as when they first made it big, and reading all those feeds could prove to be a bore. Google intends to spice things up a bit with their new service known as Google Reader Play, where similar to Stumbleupon, it offers you an alternative method of browsing interesting news on the Internet. Items will be presented one at a time in Google Reader Play in a big format, taking up the entire screen. Once you have read it, click the next arrow to move on, and so on and so forth. Users might realize that Google Reader Play is based on the same technology found in Recommended Items in Google Reader, where it will automatically attempt to search the most popular stuff that appeals to you (as well as what turns you off), as long as you won’t mind it “reading” into your mind initially.

If you think that the LG KH5200 Andro-1 phone looks rather familiar, you’re right, as it seems that this phone is a rebadged version of the LG GW620 that we’ve seen before. The KH5200 will be launching in Korea via KT as soon as next week, and should be going for about 600,000 won ($531). What makes it more interesting is the rumblings of a plan that will allow you to get the phone for free, if you’re on a plan of 45,000 ($40) won and above. It the rumors are true, the KH5200 will become KT’s first smartphone that will be offered for free on contract. Specifications of the LG KH5200 Andro-1 should include:

• Slide-out QWERTY keyboard
• 5-megapixel camera
• Bluetooth
• 3-inch 320 x 480 resolution display

Yes, even the military has gone 3D. Helping it in that endeavor is Boeing, which has just announced a tiny new 3D camera that’s one-third the size and consumes one-tenth the power of comparable 3D imaging systems. While it will also be made available for commercial use, it seems like military will be first in line to use the cameras, with Boeing noting that it’s potential applications including “mapping terrain, tracking targets and seeing through foliage,” and adding that it’s already testing the camera on unmanned aerial vehicles. The biggest drawback to the camera at the moment is that it’s only able to take 3D still images, but Boeing says it will “soon” add 3D video capability as well. Details are otherwise pretty hard to come by, as you might expect, and pricing is no doubt best left unsaid.

[Thanks, Graham]

Mitsubishi Chemical and Pioneer look like they’re placing a lot of importance on printable OLED lighting, as they’ve both formed a strategic partnership and plan to begin full-scale mass production with a launch of illumination appliances in 2011. They plan to start off with a 14cm square lighting panel, which is currently the world’s largest mass production OLED lighting panel, and the panels will be produced with printable hole injecting material (HIM) and new emitting materials. Pioneer has also issued Mitsubishi 600 million Yen in new stock through third-party allotment, so this is certainly a good way to show commitment to a partnership, eh?

As computers continue to work their way into every aspect of out lives, it’s not surprising to see someone try to integrate a computer into the humble coffee table, albeit it looks different from Microsoft Surface. This concept is dubbed the Sony Fusion, and aims to fuse both technology and furniture. At a glance, it’s just a sleek coffee table, but push a button, and the table will slide open to reveal a workstation with a touch sensitive keyboard, and adjustable screen. The LED outlined keyboard and DVD drive on the side of the table also do their part to make this design look classy. After it goes into production, it will be available in three different colors (blue, white and red), and will set you back $3,000.
