It’s not apt to ever go on sale in America (okay, so maybe there’s a sliver of a sliver of a chance), but HTC’s Touch HD is now on sale for fortunate Britons with a fair amount of poundage to spare. The drop-dead gorgeous WinMo 6.1 handset can be procured right now for £514.99 ($821) sans contract, but if you’re a North American mulling an import, you should obviously tack on a few more bills to that. You’re still mulling, aren’t you?

Female? User of LCD panels? Have fingerprints that need read? Worried about skin cancer? If you answer “yes” to any or all of these questions, we have news that is sure to knock your
sun-lovin’ socks off. Among the items on display at this year’s FPD International Exhibition in Yokohama are two exciting LCD panels: they’re both 2.8 inches, and they’re both manufactured by
AU Optronics (a company that knows a thing or two about liquid crystal displays). The first panel functions as a fingerprint scanner — it boasts a pixel count of 320 x 240, each pixel is equipped with four optical sensors, and sends its output to a 640 x 480 monitor. The other panel uses similar technology to measure the intensity of UV rays, numerically displaying the results on a scale of 0 to 11. According to the company, the UV reader “is targeted at female users who are concerned about the amount of UV light outdoors.” There’s no word yet on a UV reader for men, but you’ll know as soon as we do.
