LG KS20 finally hits Europe
LG’s KS20 smartphone is finally up for sale in most European countries, bringing 3.6Mbps HSDPA connectivity to folks living across the pond in a package that measures just 12.8mm thin. Other features include a 2.8″ touchscreen display, a 2 megapixel camera, a microSD memory card slot, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, and the Windows Mobile 6.0 operating system. If you’re rocking it out in Europe, would you pick up the KS20 over the iPhone?

Now this is truly one of the most whacked-out mouse designs I have come across to date - the Aircraft Mouse. It looks ergonomically painful to your palm, since it still relies on a dated “jellybean” form factor, never mind the flashing blue and orange lights that will distract you from concentrating on your work. While the manufacturers probably intended for this to take off to the skies in terms of sales, I think it has crashed and burned instead.
TomTom has just released the GO 920 and GO 920T, so all those of you who have been waiting for a long, long time can finally smile and add another gift to your Christmas list to Santa. Interesting features on both devices include:
At first glance, the shoulder-mounted Panasonic AJ-HPX3000G camcorder reminds one of Predator’s infamous cannon that is placed on the same body part. The AJ-HPX3000G camcorder, however, does not obliterate its targets, instead preserving them in full HD (1,920 x 1,080 resolution) images. In addition, you can pair the AJ-HPX3000G with a 32GB P2 card, providing you with approximately five hours of non-stop recording before you perform some data transfer. This will be the first camcorder to achieve native full HD in 4:2:2 and 10-bit without pre-filtering. This ain’t no home movie camcorder but one that targets the professionals. The AJ-HPX3000G will set you back by a whopping $48,000. More specifications are available after the jump.
Novaled has successfully made large improvements where white OLEDs for lighting applications are concerned, achieving an efficiency of 35lm/W and a lifetime of 100,000h at a brightness level of 1,000 cd/sqm. Novaled relied on its proprietary Novaled PIN OLED technology and materials in order to achieve this breakthrough. Currently, the company is working on enhanced outcoupling solutions and large area devices. Their immediate target would be achieving 100 lm/W combined with a long lifetime - something all of us consumers can look forward to. After all, there are more and more portable devices that rely on OLED displays these days, not to mention HDTVs.
E-ten has just rolled out the Glofiish X600 Pocket PC phone while dropping another announcement about shipping its long-awaited Glofiish X800. The former will target the budget conscious crowd, running on Windows Mobile 6.0 while holding the distinction of being the smallest handset from E-ten to date. Features on the X600 include GPS navigation, GPRS and WiFi connectivity, all packed into a body that measures a pocket-friendly 107mm × 58mm × 14.7mm while weighing a mere 136 grams. No word on pricing and availability of the Glofiish X600 though.
The TV Weather Station helps notify you of the day’s weather forecast on a large screen (as large a TV as you can afford anyway) instead of traditionally tiny grey LCD displays. It is smart enough to provide you with a forecast after checking out the weather in the past 72 hours, analyzing up to 11 weather conditions and beaming such information to your TV screen wirelessly. The receiver that is hooked up to your TV has an operating range of almost 200 feet, so unless you live in a really huge mansion, it ought to be sufficient for most homes. The TV Weather Station retails for $129.95 a pop.
So Junior can’t wait to grow up and follow dad to the office in a business suit? Fear not - this cute little laptop was especially designed just for babies, featuring a mirror that lights up while doubling as a viewing screen. Images that explore concepts such as ABCs, 123s, colors, shapes, and animals are displayed on the mirror itself. You can choose from half a dozen learning activities to get your little one started. At the rate of how early babies these days learn, I won’t be surprised if future babies who are still living in the safe and warm coccoon of a womb will be able to speak and communicate from within.
The Transcend JetFlash V90 Classic keychain USB flash drive will add some bling to your corporate portfolio, boasting a distinctive metallic swirl pattern which attracts the eye whenever light catches it at different angles. It might look a wee bit too dainty for some folks, but you can be assured that the shiny metal casing offers some much needed protection for your valuable data within. The Transcend JetFlash V90 Classic measures 33.8mm x 13.1mm x 4.5mm and weighs a mere 7 grams. It will come in only one capacity - 2GB, but I would’ve preferred to see different capacities for different budgets. Still, you can pick this puppy up for $35 from Brando. If you can’t dazzle your colleagues with your cheap suit, at least this USB flash drive will.
