For those who worried about the battery life of your expensive EV, Envia has revealed a new cell that boasts a record breaking energy density of 400Wh/kg (most currently offer between 100 and 150). It’s estimated that when commercialized, this could bring the cost of a 300-mile range EV down to as little as $20,000. The performance gains come from a special manganese-rich cathode and silicon-carbon nano-composite anode combination. The battery maker is also partly owned by GM, which unsurprisingly means we’re likely to see these very cells in its EVs in the future. For more info read the press release.

Sony’s odd, dual-screened, folding Tablet P is finally getting a “4G” version for the US market with courtesy of AT&T. In this case, those 4G speeds are being “delivered” by an HSPA+ radio, a fact that carrier managed to bury in the PR.

If you don’t want to sign your soul over you can pick one up unsubsidized for $550, which is still quite a bit less than the cost of importing one of its 500 UK siblings. Read the Press Release for more information.

There’s a lot of signs pointing to the release of a brand new iPad floating around these days: myriad rumors, retina displays, and even Apple event invites. Now, a freshly taken picture from an anonymous tipster has given us a little more insight for the iPad 3 rumor mill. As you can see in the image below, starting today all iPad 2 SKUs at Radio Shack are getting $20-50 lopped off their prices, which sure seems like a good way to clear out stock to make room for a newer, pricier version. And, the good news for Apple fans doesn’t stop there, as the Shack will also be discounting the iPhone 4 and 4S by $25 from March 1st – 4th. So, is this more evidence of the iPad 3, or just a retailer trying to move more product? We’ll know for sure next week.
