This is great news… and incredible that so much can be put in one small credit card sized device… ok I am sure it’s the usual “credit card sized… but about 10 credit cards thick” but either way… it’s cool.
The CM-X270L is just 4.4 x 6.6 CM and squashes in an Intel XScale Chip which runs windows CE or nix. It squashes 128Mb RAM, a sound card and a 802.11b wireless card. Oh, and it has half a gig of flash too. I also forgot to mention the 4 USB ports with wired networking 🙂

LG created some great looking things I have noticed over the past year. I always thought of them as a cheesy brand. How little did I know!
Anyway, the new LG U400 3G slider has been launched and it looks fab. It has a glossy Black finish to it, has UMTS compatibility, and has a nice scroll wheel for MP3’s. Also built in is a 2 meg pixel camera and a Micro SD slot.

This new USB pen has it all. It is an actual pen which when pulled appart reveals a USB connection to allow you to connect it directly to your PC. The top part of the pen has all the controls which make this in to an MP3 player, voice recorder, and an FM radio. It has 512Mb memory built in also.

The new Samsung SyncMaster LCD’s look nice! The specs also look nice too 🙂 This particular model (CX913P) has a built in USB hub so that a keyboard and mouse can be connected directly to the panel and also has a 6ms response time which is not too shabby either.

What is EVDO? It means “Evolution-Data Optimized” and is a wireless technology which allows high speed connections to the internet using the Verizon Wireless network. It allows you to connect with out a wireless hotspot from anywhere. An unlimited subscription costs just $80 a month which is not a bad amount.

The Greenhouse portable DVD player (the GH-PDV720-TV) not only is a portable DVD player, but has a built in TV tuner also. Not something I have seen before on other portable DVD players. It has a nice 7″ wide screen display and hits the market in a months time for around $213.

Acer are launching the AL1517A 17″ LCD monitor which comes on the market next month at around $175. It’s not bad for the price. It has a 12ms response time which is not as good as others, it has nice resolution settings (1024 x 768) and quite a wide viewing angle of 130 degrees.

The P300 is the latest in the line up of mobile phones from Samsung. My first impression was that this looks like a calculator. It is a phone though 😉 and I am sure it does have a calculator on it too.
The P300 is the size of a credit card and not much thicker either. It’s dims are 8.6 x 5.4 x 0.9cm. It’s screen is a 1.8″ LCD which is very good on the eyes.
Important stats include Bluetooth, tri-band (900/1,800/1,900 MHz) GSM/GPRS network connectivity and a 1.3 megapixel camera with flash and 4x digital zoom. If that wasn’t enough the phone manages to pack in an MP3 player supporting MP3, AAC, AAC+ and e-AAC formats, a video recorder with playback and video messaging capabilities, and 80MB of memory.
