Following in the footsteps of the Droid X, which was rooted within a week of launch, the XDA Dev team has announced they have rooted the Motorola Droid 2, just 14 days after its launch.
The initial rooting method is not easy, however, and will require decent background with ADB.
For more info on ADB, check here: ABD Wiki page.
After the device is rooted, users can then install custom ROMs, as well as have access to Superuser controls.
For now, there are not custom recovery images for the Droid 2, so installing a custom ROM is impossible.
Says a XDA Dev member: “This is needed to install custom ROMs, which as of now, there are none. That means you won’t be able to install any third-party Android ROMs on your rooted Droid 2. [Yes], they will be on their way at some point, but right now, the main appeal to rooting the Droid 2 right now is to use root-only applications, and remove the bloatware that Verizon has thrown on the device.”

Nintendo has announced that they will be unveiling the next iteration of the DS line, the 3DS at the E3 event later this year, but today mockup pictures have shown up on a Japanese blog, and the design shown off by the site is interesting to say the least.
Their is one large touchscreen, which splits two simulated screen for DS backward compatibility, and games can be played vertically and horizontally.
The device can also take pictures, scan pictures, place 3D images on real backgrounds, “3D pointing,” and more. 3D Pointing “tracks the movement of the user’s finger, including distance, to manipulate an object on screen,” says Kotaku.

LG Display has announced that it has begun mass production on the world’s first Full HD 3D LCD monitor, a 23-inch display with 1080p resolution.
Consumers will use shutter glasses to deliver the full HD resolution.
The panel will use LG’s own “high performance 3D exclusive controller,” which allows for improved capabilities of resolution and picture quality as well as processing of more than twice as much image data as current 3D LCDs. For those not interested in 3D, the panel can switch back and forth to 2D.
Davis Lee, LG Display’s Vice President and head of IT marketing department says: “LG Display has made a major breakthrough in the display industry race to deliver the depth and dynamic nature of 3D images. LG Display will continue with efforts to keep pace with the fast growing 3D market with leading 3D technology and products in order to create new value for customers.”
No word on release timetable or price.
