<description><![CDATA[It looks like we won&amp;'t have to wait until next week&amp;'s Consumer Electronics Show to check out Verizon&amp;'s first 4G phone &amp;8212' HTC&amp;'s Thunderbolt Android smartphone was just outed tonight by the Android blog Droid Life.From the looks of it, the phone is HTC&amp;'s Verizon spin on its popular Evo 4G device on Sprint. This time around though, it will be packing support for Verizon&amp;'s LTE 4G network, instead of Sprint&amp;'s WiMax 4G network. It&amp;'s somewhat fitting that Verizon&amp;'s first 4G phone would resemble the Evo, which was Sprint&amp;'s first 4G device.The Thunderbolt will share the Evo&amp;'s massive 4.3-inch screen, but at the moment nothing else is known about its internal specs. I expect that we&amp;'ll see many dual-core CPU phones at CES in Las Vegas next week, but I don&amp;'t think it&amp;'s very likely HTC will manage to fit one into the Thunderbolt in time.Last week HTC launched a site that teased it will be a4Athe first to 4G, againa4. Prior to that, several gadget sites received leaked photos of the companya4a4s upcoming a4AMechaa4 device, which looks exactly the same as the leaked Thunderbolt images.We expect to get the full details on HTC&amp;'s Thunderbolt, as well as a slew of other smartphones, next week at CES.Previous Story: SEC looking at secondary markets for Facebook and othersPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: 4G, Android, Evo 4G, HTC Thunderbolt, LTECompanies: HTC, Verizon          Tags: 4G, Android, Evo 4G, HTC Thunderbolt, LTECompanies: HTC, VerizonDevindra Hardawar is VentureBeat's lead mobile writer and East Coast correspondent.

<description><![CDATA[At the Consumer Electronics Show this week in Las Vegas, Hewlett-Packard is unveiling a broad line-up of new computers that have all of the latest components and features to keep consumers in a shopping mood.HP&amp;'s line-up isn&amp;'t just a pile of me-too computers. They are well-designed machines that have the latest features, from the latest Intel processors to touchscreen displays. HP typically adds new features to one machine and then rolls them out across the line-up over time. That&amp;'s what it&amp;'s doing with this launch.Based on HP&amp;'s line-up, it looks like both Intel and Advanced Micro Devices have scored a lot of design wins in HP machines. That&amp;'s a big deal since HP is the world&amp;'s largest computer maker.The top of the line is still the HP Envy 17 (pictured), a laptop designed for enthusiasts who want something that can compete favorably with Apple&amp;'s thin MacBook Air laptops. HP has been making this model for a few years and the latest has CoolSense cooling technology, new Intel Core processors, and newly released AMD Radeon switchable graphics (which can put the machine into a power-saving mode when advanced graphics aren&amp;'t needed).The CoolSense feature measures heat levels and cools the machine off to your preferred temperature. It has HP&amp;'s Beats by Dr. Dre audio, a 17.3-inch high-definition display, and the Intel Wireless Display, which allows you to view your laptop&amp;'s screen on your TV via a wireless connection. The Envy models will include a stereoscopic 3D screen that you can view with 3D glasses. Pricing and availability are to be determined.HP has also relaunched a bunch of consumer laptop, netbook, and desktop models. All feature cool exterior designs. The new HP Mini 210 netbooks (pictured) feature a plaid design with matching accessories. With models such as these, HP isn&amp;'t going after just geeks. It&amp;'s going after women and others who appreciate how a machine looks. The HP Mini 210 will be available on Jan. 9 in &amp;''iceberry&amp;'' for $349 while the raspberry version will be on sale on Jan. 23 for $329 at Best Buy stores only.The HP Pavilion dm1 is a functional laptop in a compact case. It has an 11.6-inch display and measures less than an inch thick. The dm1 is one of the first machines to use Advanced Micro Devices&amp;' Fusion Accelerated Processing Unit, or APU. That chip combines a microprocessor and a graphics chip on a single piece of silicon, allowing for both fast 3D graphics and power efficiency. The Fusion chip goes up against Intel&amp;'s Sandy Bridge combo chips. The results are pretty good' this machine can display DirectX 11 3D graphics (based on Microsoft&amp;'s most-advanced 3D standard) and can run up to 10.75 hours on battery. The HP dm1 will be available Jan. 9 in the U.S. for $449.Starting Jan. 9, a number of HP&amp;'s touch-enabled machines will be able to download a new version of HP&amp;'s TouchSmart touchscreen user interface, which features a &amp;''carousel&amp;'' design that lets you browse through apps by swiping your finger sideways across the screen. HP has some new business TouchSmart all-in-one computers (pictured), but it updated most of its TouchSmart consumer PCs in the fall. HP has adopted an update center modeled after the Apple App Store, where you can download an app at a touch and get regular updates without hassle.On the business side, HP also has a bevy of new desktop computers, thin-client computers, and monitors. The thin clients are especially popular these days in businesses, given the trend toward running virtualization software, which allows a client to tap powerful software running on servers, even though the machine itself is relatively modest in hardware capability. The new HP t5500 series thin clients will go up against the latest machines from Wyse Technology and NComputing.Next Story: Lenovo&amp;'s IdeaCentre tries to cash in on the mad rush to all-in-one desktops Previous Story: With Fusion, AMD plans to stop being the underdog in chipsPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: APU, CES, Fusion, HP Envy 17, Sandy Bridge, TouchSmartCompanies: Apple, desktop computers, Fusion, Hewlett Packard, HP, laptops, Microsoft, NComputing, Radeon, Sandy Bridge, thin client, Wyse Technology          Tags: APU, CES, Fusion, HP Envy 17, Sandy Bridge, TouchSmartCompanies: Apple, desktop computers, Fusion, Hewlett Packard, HP, laptops, Microsoft, NComputing, Radeon, Sandy Bridge, thin client, Wyse TechnologyDean is lead writer for GamesBeat at VentureBeat.

<description><![CDATA[Believe it or not, you can control a video game with your eyeballs.By moving your eyes one way or another, you can generate controls for a game or other applications.Chris Culver and Hunter Smith of National Instruments&amp;' Waterloo Labs division showed how they could control a simple game by moving their eyes in one direction or another. The demo was just for fun, but it shows that games might be made even more realistic by giving players one more way to control the action. It represents one more step in the march toward more natural man-machine interfaces for games, in addition to things like Microsoft&amp;'s Kinect motion-control system and the Nintendo Wii.This is one of the cool concepts I saw today at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It was tucked away in the Analog Devices meeting room. But now that the researchers have figured out how to do it, somebody else might want to figure out if there&amp;'s a point in doing it.National Instruments showed off a relatively simple hardware design where sensors were wired to Culver&amp;'s eyes. They detected which way he was moving his eyes and translated that into controls. As you can see from the video below, they created a Whack-A-Mole game in which Culver used the eye controls to smash the moles down.Previous Story: Windows Phone 7 devices may be leaking 3G data, Kin-like online features on the wayPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: CES, CES 2011, Consumer Electronics Show, eye-control, motion controlCompanies: Analog Devices, National InstrumentsPeople: Chris Culver, Hunter Smith          Tags: CES, CES 2011, Consumer Electronics Show, eye-control, motion controlCompanies: Analog Devices, National InstrumentsPeople: Chris Culver, Hunter SmithDean is lead writer for GamesBeat at VentureBeat.

<description><![CDATA[Digital Chocolate, a developer of social games that appear on sites like Facebook, announced today that it has raised $12 million in its fourth round of funding from Intel Capital.While social gaming is still dominated by the likes of Zynga, the race for second best is still heating up. Zynga holds a commanding lead with 272 million users across all its games, according to AppData. The next closest developer, Badoo, has 45 million users. The difference between the next 10 developers is much closer a4&quot; with the 15th most popular app running with around 16 million users.Digital Chocolate still stands a little further behind the giants of the social gaming mafia, which include the likes of Zynga, Playfish (now owned by Electronic Arts) and Playdom (now owned by Disney.)Digital Chocolate is currently the 12th most popular app developer on Facebook with about 17.6 million users, according to AppData. Its most popular game, Millionaire City, has about 12 million users and is ranked 14 on the list of top Facebook applications.The funding also comes at a time when social games are seeing ballooning valuations. Zynga, which made games like Farmville and Cityvillemay be worth as much as $10 billion after reportedly raising $500 milliona4&quot; which would put it ahead of Electronic Arts, a publicly-traded company, in terms of market cap. The top game company in the world is Activision-Blizzard a4&quot; the publisher behind World of Warcraft and the Call of Duty franchise a4&quot; which has a market cap of about $13.3 billion.Digital Chocolate certainly hasn&amp;'t shied away from challenging the likes of Zynga. It recently sued Zynga, saying it had rights to the name &amp;''Mafia Wars&amp;'' a4&quot; one of Zynga&amp;'s most popular games on Facebook with about 28 million users.Sutter Hill Ventures and Bridgescale Partners also participated in the most recent round of funding. The San Mateo, Calif.-based company has raised $55.9 million to date over four rounds of funding.Previous Story: You have zero friends, Google &amp;8212' but one secret social weaponPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: Facebook games, social games, social gamingCompanies: Digital Chocolate, Disney, Electronic Arts, Playdom, Playfish, Zynga          Tags: Facebook games, social games, social gamingCompanies: Digital Chocolate, Disney, Electronic Arts, Playdom, Playfish, ZyngaMatthew Lynley is VentureBeat's enterprise writer.
