The first among the two is the NL10276BC30-32, featuring a brightness of 250cd/m2, while the NL10276BC30-33 has a slightly higher brightness of 350 cd/m2. Notable features include improved viewability with wide viewing angles, high contrast ratios (600:1) and a fast response time (18ms).

We usually try to stay focused on consumer electronics here, but this one is just too geeky to not feature it. (if you have one, send us a photo at contact@ubergizmo.com)
Gameloft has teamed up with Firefly Mobile to bring best selling mobile games for the upcoming flyPhone. This handset was developed specially for tweens and will see a launch sometime this month. Currently, the games that will come preloaded include Shrek the Third, Dogz, Bubble Bash, Pirates Adventure, Rayman Kart, Meteos, Horse Riding Academy and Naval Battle. Other features of the flyPhone are an MP3 player, video player, camera, mobile games and texting support. Users will be able to download the aforementioned Gameloft games from Firefly’s flyKicks software that comes with each purchase of the phone. No idea on how much each of these games cost, but you can bet your bottom dollar that they will surely be affordable.
Energy Sistem has just released a couple of new Inngenio portable media players, and they are the 4000 Duet HDP M-EX and the 5000 HDP M-EX. The former comes with a 2.8″ TFT LCD display at QVGA resolution, a miniSD memory card slot, a microphone, an integrated FM tuner, and an external loudspeaker. As for the Inngenio 5000, you get an SD memory card slot, a larger 3.5″ TFT LCD QVGA display, a microphone, an integrated FM tuner, and an external speaker. The 4000 and 5000 will retail for €155 and €120 respectively. Would this beat the iPod in terms of sales? Nah, but at least it is an alternative for those looking for something a little different.
The Analog Projection Clock is pretty cool as it is one device that acts as a bridge between the old and the new. It doesn’t do digital numbers, but relies on the analog face of a clock instead to tell the time in old school style, Roman numerals and all. When placed approximately 10 feet away from the wall, the clock measures nearly 3′ in diameter, so you can’t exactly use this in a cramped apartment. Brightness levels and focus are fully adjustable to suit your preference. The clock itself is powered by a single AA battery, retailing for $100. Definitely an interesting housewarming gift to surprise your friend with.
