The new LG LC3200 phone is compatible on different CDMA frequencies which means it can go with you where ever you go. Other features on the phone are a 1.3 megapixel camera, MP3 player and a dictionary. Other standard features are also in the device. One thing different is the unique slider feature. Only the top half of the phone slides up which allows some of the main keys to be available regardless of the phone being open or closed.

The IQ770 is a touch screen PC running Windows Vista. The TouchSmart replaces your homes notice board and allows you to leave notes by digital ink, voice or typed out. Also it is capable of running your families schedule. With Vista powering the device it allows entertainment to also run such as watching movies, listening to MP3s and even record live TV. Power wise this device isnt bad. It runs an AMD Turion 64 X2 dual core processor and has 2Gb RAM built in as well as a 320Gb disk. Overall it looks like it could be a nice device to organise your house although I am sure price would be the main factor here as it could be seen as an expensive notice board. Video after the jump.

For those of you who live in the UK, you can now go to your nearest ASDA store (WALMART) and pick up a DVD player for just 9 pounds. Thats less then a tenner which is not a bad price at all. As you will know, this is cheaper then new release DVDs in some cases. There are 80000 of these players in ASDA stores, so get down there quick if you want one. The make of the player is Duraband and we are not sure yet if the player is multiregion capable.

Over the last few years we have experienced the highspeeds of 3G mobile phone networks. This technology has allowed our mobile devices to communicate at broadband speeds which allows streaming video and audio as well as video calls. China has now stepped up and created the worlds first 4G network which steps up data transfer speeds even higher. The project is being run by FuTURE Project and expect speeds of up to 100 megabites per second which is a lot faster then the 3G speeds. This network seems like it will not be public yet and just used for trials for a few more years yet.

Sony Ericssons W950i comes with a built in 4Gb hard drive, a 240 x 320 touch screen which also supports handwriting recognition. Connectivity is provided by USB 2.0 and bluetooth to other devices such as a PC or other phone. Network wise this phone supports GSM 900, GSM 1800, GSM 1900 or in other words, it’s a Tri-Band phone. The phone is also UMTS capable allowing for faster transfer speeds of up to 384kbps via a 3G network. The 4Gb internal disk means that no memory slot is available. However, 4Gb on this device means that you probably would not need to add more memory via a memory card. The operating system is Symbian v9.1, UIQ 3.0.

This credit sized PMP caught my attention today. It has a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio and the screen is a 3 inch touchscreen LCD. My first thoughs were that this is a digital photoframe, but I was wrong. It is actually a PMP which has 2Gb of internal memory. Unfortunatly there is no pricing yet but as soon as we find out we will post the details.

If Apple would have launched their Apple Mobile Phone back in 1985 when they originally filed a patent then it would have looked like the phone above. I bet it would havo sold well but would not be laughed at 🙂

The iPhone is due to cost between 500 – 600 dollars for the handset with a contract. However, it might be that the contract could be for free service for 18 months. Cingular/ATT are thinking this one over at the moment. The normal path of selling a phone on contract is to give it away for free with the contract, or charge a low amount for the phone. Apple do not want to go down this route but Cingular/ATT might find an alternative way. This is all just speculation right now but we can hope 🙂

The XBox 360 cooler attaches to the back of the unit and provides 4 ports for USB, has a 3 in 1 HD multi tap and cooler as well as VGA, component and S-VHS connections. A number of other connections are thrown on the back there and overall looks like a decent cooling device. The Cooler King is east to install. All you need to do is plug it in to the back of the 360 and away it goes. How hard can that be?
The Cooler King is available from Play.com for 17.99 pounds delivered in the UK.
The Samsing VLUU i70 is a 7.2 megapixel camera but not only does it take pictures, it also is equiped with HSDPA and is a camera phone although the main emphasis is on the camera side. The camera has 3x optical zoom and a huge 3 inch LCD screen is on the back to view those nice pictures it will take. Features such as advanced shake reduction (ASR) is in there, as well as face recognition. Not only does it take pictures, it also plays MP3 and MPEG4. With built in HSDPA it allows pictures to be sent anywhere right from the camera.

Since the launch of Skype, the service keeps growing and growing. The latest figure I heard was that 200000 people per day were signing up for the service. I am an occasional user of Skype and think it is an incredible service and great for getting free and cheap rate calls to desitinations worldwide. Futiro from Ireland is launching three new Skype phones on to the market. Each phone is USB and has a stylish design to be different from the regular looking phones you get. Unfortunatly no wifi phone is available yet, but no doubt this will be on Futiro’s to do list and launched some time soon. Well, at least we can hope. 🙂
Each phone is to cost from $55.

Several tiny projectors have appeared recently. I was amazed at a trip to PC World when I saw a really small one on sale. The thing was tiny, or so I thought. Along comes the Explay Projector. It is the size of a mobile phone and can project an image from a source such as an iPod video at a low resolution of 320 x 240. This is not the max size though as Explay promise that higher resolutions are on the way. The projector uses a mixture of laser and LED to create the image and to save on battery life as well as heat. The image size isnt huge, but still a lot larger then your mobile phone or iPod screen. This is not bad for a projector that could be carried in your pocket. More information will be available later this year and we look forwards to this projector and seeing how it progresses through out 2007.
