Apple’s COO (and current Steve Jobs stand-in ) Tim Cook thinks “there’s not much” competition to the company’s iPad tablet. When queried about Apple’s view on what the rest of the market offers, Cook was brutally candid in describing Windows-driven machines as generally being big, heavy and expensive, while current generations of Android-based slates are in his opinion merely “scaled-up smartphones.” While we agree that Windows 7 isn’t a terribly touch-friendly affair, we don’t know that Cook’s comments on Android are quite so pertinent now that Google’s tablet-savvy Honeycomb iteration has been unveiled. Then again, he has something to say about the next generation of Android tablets as well, noting that the ones announced at CES lack pricing and release schedules, leading him to conclude that “today they’re vapor .” Ouch. See his comments in full after the break.

We had nearly forgotten Lenovo’s Eedoo spinoff and its China-bound video game console , seeing as how it failed to meet a planned November 2010 unveiling, but IDG News reports that the motion-sensing eBox hasn’t slipped Lenovo’s mind — it’s just been pushed further into 2011. How far? If we were to guess, we’d say Q2 2011, and the video above spells out why. Seemingly by coincidence, we were just sent this footage of a game called Flyimal , built on the Unity Engine as a collaboration between 3D asset company Mixamo and 3D gesture recognition company Omek Interactive, and — get this — running on “the first [console] to be made by the Chinese for the Chinese market and due for launch by Q2 of this year.” We can’t think of many game systems that fit that description, to be honest. There’s not a lot to look at here, but we imagine PrimeSense and competitors will be perusing the video soon, noting that the machine captures precisely 15 points on a user’s body for its gesture recognition algorithms… and wondering if there’s a third dimension to any of that movement. Read Unity, Mixamo and Omek’s statement after the break.

That’s all we know for now, folks. Apple’s CEO is taking a medical leave from work, his second in as many years , with Tim Cook filling his role during that time. In an email to the Apple team, Steve Jobs says he’ll be on leave to “focus on [his] health,” though he will retain the position of CEO and will remain involved in the major strategic decisions — Tim Cook will be picking up the slack on day-to-day operations. No further details have been provided, save for Steve expressing his love for Apple and wish to return to his duties as soon as he can. See his email missive in full after the break.

Don’t have $65,000 and / or seventeen months to build yourself a Daft Punk helmet? Here’s the next best thing: crack open a Macintosh Plus, add an iPad, an old bicycle helmet and some electroluminescent gear, and get to soldering. Originally a school project for designer Terrence Scoville, this visualizer helmet now sits atop the cranium of DJ Kid Chameleon. Because there’s nothing like a few digital fireworks to celebrate an old computer’s birthday. Video after the break.
