NEC is set to bring out its new, 2800×900 pixel resolution, 43-inch monitor in July. So, if you have US$7,999 left in your bank, and waiting to be spent – well, this should be the main thing you should buy. While this may put a dent into your family budget, but hey, as Sunrise says – “Reject the Recession”.
Sony Ericsson has announced that it will be bringing three new phones, all to bring out "new consumer experiences”, the Satio – a phone that allows you to “access to all your media in one place”, the Yari – the “ultimate phone for mobile fun”, and the Aino – a phone with a “unique mobile interface”.
Got to love the website Etsy, bringing in talented creators of stuff that we would never see in Target or Myer. But, now, we found something for an application? This is a pillow for that blue Photoshop icon that someone has recreated, and you have to admit that it makes you want to buy it.
Microsoft has today announced that it will be bringing out one of the worst kept secrets in the world, the Zune HD, this fall, where it will bring in some Xbox LIVE integration with its Video Marketplace, and will come in new markets, according to its press release.
So, when we said that we don’t know when Australia will be getting the phone, well now we know. Both Vodafone Australia and Three have made announcements, on their respective websites, that the new HTC Magic smartphone that has the Android OS on it will be coming to their network.
Sprint, the US carrier that would be selling the phone, has announced the Palm Pre’s launch date, after a long wait after Palm unveiled the phone at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, a date which saw many of its features also available in the new iPhone OS 3.0.
Though Japan is known for making gadgets that you would like to crave for, South Korea’s LG Display has now become the new record holder for the world’s thinnest LCD screen, with the company releasing its new 42-inch and 47-inch models that are only 5.9mm thick – or 0.23 inches if you are using the other system – and are very light, only weighing 6.1kg and 7.3kg respectively.
Vodafone NZ is set to bring in the newest Android phone, the HTC Magic, to New Zealanders in June, announcing it in the morning. While there is no word that Australia will be getting the phone, but Optus is the only carrier selling the only Android phone as of now, the HTC Dream.
Got to love green technology, and this is no exception. A park bench that uses solar energy to light up and power a Wi-Fi hotspot, and is made out of aluminium and recycled plastic – so it’s also environmentally friendly as well. Because of the design, the outer cover can be changed to “various environments of the park”.
LaCie has announced that it will be upgrading its 5big network storage device by creating a new 10TB version, among other new features – being the first company to bring out a device with that much of hard drive capacity.

Japan is the home of the things that we most likely would never find at any department store in Australia, but this might be the gift for someone who just loves to sing to their hearts content – and save you in having your hearing checked. Introducing the “Unfussy Kara OK” microphone, that promises to allow you, despite looking like a vacuum cleaner attachment, to sing and have that voice blocked to everyone except for you.
An interesting piece of work this is. This is a real hard drive being converted into a fully functional clock. While it doesn’t have the numbers, it does have the hour, minute and second hands; and is powered by one AA battery. But don’t think that he only made one, he has made another 16 (according to his profile) – so this could be a great geeky gift for your mother, or for a birthday.
A bit creepy, but Sony has now introduced a new Walkman that will allow you to customise your player to meet your technicolour dreams, and allow you to dress it up to almost anything you want. The E Series will go out next month in 2GB (NW-E042), 4GB (NW-E043) and 8GB (NW-E044) capacities. It can playback music for about 28 hours, and only weighs 28g. It also comes with a FM radio feature in-built.
Well, this might answer the question at the top. The NokiPhone N3000i says that it brings the best of “Both Worlds”, merging the iPhone’s touchscreen capabilities and the Nokia N96’s dual slide keypad, with one side having the usual keypad, and the other showing the media buttons (play, stop, fast forward, etc.).
