The new range of robot vacuum’s have been announced from Samsung. The VC-RS60 and VC-RS60H run at 1.3ft per second and can vac for an hour before needing to be recharged. They sell from $936 to $1042.
Also the robots will map out the area to vacuum more effectivly and also automatically return to base when they need a recharge. They also come with a remote control for the even more lazy type of person. Sounds like I need one.

The Sony Cybershot DSC-H5 is new to the market and has been reviewed by Digital Photography Review.

The H2 (previous model) is $100 cheaper and has a 2″ screen with 6 mega pixels although the image stabilization is far better.

The vertigo wall mounted fireplace will look snazzy in any home really. With it being impressive with looks the price tag is also impressive at a hefty $2400. Not as hefty as the levitating bed which was reported a few days ago though.

Another beauty from Sharp. The W-ZERO3 smartphone has now been revealed. Do not get too excited though… it’s going to be launched in Japan only according to sources. The new Windows Mobile 5.0 smartphone has some rather flashy features. It is powered by a 416Mhz Intel PXA270 processor and can handle a resolution of 640×480 on a 2.8″ screen. It can operate both in portrait and landscape mode. It has a slide out keyboard and includes a stylus to make navigation far easier. It has wifi, 1.3 megapixel camera although Bluetooth support is not listed as a feature (Like I care with it going to Japan only:)).

Play.com have now introduced a new bundle for the PS3 launch which will have the 3 games as Warhawk, Formula One 06, and SingStar.
It’s still a hefty price tag but much better then what we previously thought it would be (same price no games). The PS3 in this bundle will ship with a 60Gb drive and should be out November.
I thought this one was quite funny when I saw it. It’s a telescopic lens for a mobile phone. The reason for this is that the profile of a mobile phone is rather small from front to back. Not enough to currently pack a powerful lens in to. This new telescope lens can give your phone up to 6x magnification with only a slight modification. The lens can be detached and added quickly and easily. It looks to only be compatible with the Nokia 6230/6230i and 6680 mobile phones.
Another good point is that the lens only costs $19.00
