<description><![CDATA[Altec&amp;39's InMotion Air is a portable Bluetooth speaker that retails for $199.(Credit:Altec Lansing)Let's start with the good stuff. Altec Lansing's InMotion Air IMW725, which retails for $199, is one of the better-looking compact wireless Bluetooth speakers out there. It's got a unique, modern design and comes with a built-in rechargeable battery, which allows you to take it outside without having to plug it in. We also liked the hideaway dock on the back of the unit for the small remote and the inclusion of a USB dongle. The dongle lets you stream audio from your Windows orMac computer to the InMotion Air, using it as a computer speaker--whether or not you've already got Bluetooth compatibility built in.Since this InMotion Air uses Bluetooth, it works with a wide range of devices that support the A2DP version of Bluetooth, including iPhones, iPads, and nearly every smartphone andAndroid tablet. Alas, there's no dock for charging your phone, nor is there a free USB charging port like the one found on Altec's own Octiv Duo speaker dock.There is an audio input for connecting other devices (using an optional cable), but you don't get a built-in speakerphone like those found on some rival Bluetooth speakers, such as Aliph's tiny Jawbone Jambox.As we said, we liked the design, though its off-kilter geometric shape may not please some. It's transportable but not superportable--meaning that it's lightweight and is easy to move around the house or take with you outside onto the patio or pool, but it's not exactly suitcase-friendly.How does the InMotion Air sound Read the full review to find out.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A Microsoft representative previews the &amp;39'Foursquare Playground&amp;39' HTML5 site in the new Internet Explorer 9.(Credit:Caroline McCarthy/CNET)AUSTIN, Texas--Just one year after it initially previewed its new Internet Explorer 9 browser, Microsoft formally launched the software today at the South by Southwest Interactive Festival (SXSW), bringing in representatives from launch partners from The Huffington Post, Foursquare, Groupon, and Pandora to demonstrate an experience that looks less like the Web as we know it and more like the app ecosystem of a smartphone ortablet.&quot;We're used to the Web getting better because of everything other than the PC,&quot; Internet Explorer's Dean Hachamovitch said of how the most innovative kinds of Web development have, of late, been for mobile and tablet platforms. Thanks to higher optimization for HTML5 and the ability to take advantage of more processor power, he said that IE9, which goes live later on Monday, will &quot;bring all the benefits of a modern PC with Windows to browsing the Web.&quot;Microsoft representatives previewed the IE9-optimized version of Foursquare, the geolocation app that's been ubiquitous at SXSW this year (again) and has built &quot;Foursquare Playground,&quot; a new Web application that uses an animated HTML5 3D map that can sense the user's location, display locations with high levels of Foursquare activity, and offer a business search that can jump out into Bing Maps (which already has a notable Foursquare partnership in place).These HTML5 sites are able to be as rich as they are because of hardware acceleration, which fuels the browser with the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU) as well as the central processing unit (CPU). They demonstrated the same HTML5 site--a graphics-intensive music archive for Seattle rock station KEXP--on both a Windows computer running IE9 and a MacBook Pro runningFirefox. The Firefox browser, not surprisingly, was considerably slower in the demonstration, as was Google Chrome running on a MacBook in a later demonstration.While Microsoft Internet Explorer still has powerful market share in the mainstream, tech industry professionals have long since abandoned its lackluster earlier versions for the likes of Chrome, Firefox, andSafari. But IE9 won't be compatible with the older Microsoft XP operating system, which still runs on 40 to 50 percent of Windows PCs. The unveiling was held at a ballroom at the W Hotel in Austin, where the walls were decorated with the logos of the brands and companies that have partnered for &quot;pinned&quot; sites--logos that look suspiciously similar to iOS app icons. Tweaking and &quot;pinning&quot; a site for IE9 can result in a 50 percent jump in user engagement, Microsoft representatives said. Web cult hero Ze Frank, a SXSW regular, joined the IE9 team onstage to preview his new application, Star.me, which was one of the featured launch partners. He hyped up HTML5 browsers, specifically IE9, as being able to bring back the &quot;sense of discovery and play&quot; that characterized the Web in its earliest days. Star.me, he said, is &quot;like a social game meets a social network where you're kind of in kindergarten but just had a lot of espresso&quot; by awarding cartoon &quot;stars&quot; to other Web users' profiles. &quot;Bringing these kinds of experiences back into the browser as a sort of a natural place for wondrous, joyous, experiences to start popping up again is awesome,&quot; Frank said, &quot;and I think IE9 is a commitment to bringing that joy and wonder back into the browser and kind of back into the Web.&quot; Not exactly a hardcore productivity app, but the stars are pretty cute. <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Microsoft is releasing a development kit in March that will help third-party developers create applications that use its Kinect motion controller.That means Microsoft is opening up the Kinect, originally designed to be used with its Xbox 360 game console, to be used for third-party applications with other devices like PCs. Microsoft will release the SDK (software development kit) for non-commercial use this spring, and a commercial license will come out later.Up until now, game publishers were able to make titles for Kinect on the Xbox 360. But the new SDK means that amateurs can also join the motion-sensing party and use the Kinect sensor on other machines.The Kinect is a camera that tracks body movements and sits right under the television. It&amp;'s connected to Microsoft&amp;'s XBox 360 and used for games and to navigate the console&amp;'s media center.While it isn&amp;'t 100 percent accurate, the device worked well enough to become one of the best-selling devices of all time. Hackers have already had their way with the Kinect, creating applications ranging from games to slick multi-touch interfaces that feel like they came out of a movie.Microsoft has already made several moves into other spaces with the Kinect a4&quot; such as making a movie into Cisco&amp;'s turf with a home video conferencing service. The company has said it isn&amp;'t going to leave the device as a simple video game controller. And the Kinect has helped bring Microsoft&amp;'s entertainment and devices division up to speed with the rest of its operations a4&quot; that division alone brought in about $3.7 billion in revenue.But so far some of the most interesting applications have been underground and unofficial. Now it looks like Microsoft is taking a page out from Google&amp;'s handbook by appealing directly to the development community. Android has become popular among developers because it is a more open environment and supports almost any idea that developers want to pitch.Microsoft&amp;'s chief executive Steve Ballmer said the device would eventually be compatible with PCs at the Consumer Electronics Show this year, but at the time didn&amp;'t give any details about when.Next Story: Philo: Star power is the key to social TV Previous Story: Apple rumored to launch new Macbook ProsPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: Kinect, motion controller, SDK, third-party appsCompanies: Google, Microsoft          Tags: Kinect, motion controller, SDK, third-party appsCompanies: Google, MicrosoftMatthew Lynley is VentureBeat's enterprise writer.
