While the Claro TV fights off the dimness so often associated with watching front-projection in broad daylight, and Planar’s Xscreen claims to work without the gargantuous pricetag, now there’s yet another firm in the mix of miracle-working screens. Germany’s DNP has unveiled the Supernova Flex Screen, which claims to deliver “ten times” the contrast and “double” the brightness compared to standard screens when used in daylight. Available in both fixed and retractable versions, and in widescreen sizes up to 120-inches (100-inches for 4:3 versions), the Supernova is reportedly compatible with all LCD, DLP, and LCoS projectors. It also sports an “ultrafine” .0065-millimeter pitch along with a “high-contrast filter” that allows the projected image to be reflected by the screen while it absorbs incidental light from other sources. While we’ve no idea how much DNP plans to charge for this daylight-friendly device (nor if it actually works as claimed), we shouldn’t have to wait around too much longer to find out.

BOLD MOVES: THE FUTURE OF FORD A new documentary series. Be part of the transformation as it happens in real-time

Office Depot Featured Gadget: Xbox 360 Platinum System Packs the power to bring games to life!

Ok, you’ve seen the unboxing of the new black iPod Nano, and of its colorful brethren, but all of us really want to see the new ultra-sexy 80GB model. Of course, from where we’re sitting, this little black beast’s brightness is starting to rival that of a solar flare — iLounge‘s photos definitely show a brightness differential between the new and the old iPod video. We haven’t heard if this big ol’ iPod isn’t having the same set of issues that the nano has been having when connected to Windows machines, though that may emerge later on. This first round of photos also shows that the search function does indeed work as big Steve showed us on Tuesday. We do wonder though how we’re going to use those alphanumerics for our songs by, say, ? and the Mysterians, or !!! (“chick-chick-chick”) on that scrolling search tool. Click ahead for another shot lavish photograph of our new favorite full-size iPod.

[Thanks, ben]
