LG Details 8MP, Multitouch 'Crystal' Handset

We got a brief look at the LG Crystal (GD900) back in February but now specifications and features are here we are far more impressed than we expected to be...

With its tempered glass touchpad and transparent sliding keys it seemed the Crystal was little more than a gimmick and while we'll hold off on an verdict until it's in our hands it is surprisingly high end. Things that immediately catch my eye are the eight megapixel camera with autofocus and LED flash along with 7.2Mbit HSDPA, WiFi, aGPS and the company's much touted S-Class 3D UI - the same love it/hate it interface which debuted on the LG Arena.

Egs HiPhone Nano F210, a Pretty Brilliant Spin-Off of Motorola Aura

Okay, we cannot resist but post about this new HiPhone Nano. The F210 is flip phone in the vein of the Motorola Aura and may very well be a more effective fashion statement with the inclusion of an iPod clickwheel. It’s a direct descendant of this HiPhone Nano. It comes in two colors for now. Hopefully more will be added. For $139.99, you shouldn’t expect monster features in the F210, and don’t ask me about the logo in front. I don’t know what or who Egs is and if it’s connected somehow to HiPhone.

Dell Launches Studio 14z

We're quite endeared to Dell's Studio range of laptops - the Studio 15, for example - so seeing another addition to the line-up, named the Studio 14z, is pleasing. It may be an update to the extant Studio 14, but that doesn't mean it should overlooked.

The 14in display comes in two choices, with either a "720p" or "900p" display; translating, presumably, into 1,280 x 720 and 1,600 x 900 pixels respectively - the latter putting it at odds with the Sony Z-series (albeit at 0.9in larger diagonally). The Studio 14z is apparently Dell's lightest Studio laptop, at 1.95kg and while hardly super-slim, it's not exactly porky either measuring 20mm at the front and 30.9m at the rear.

nVidia 3D Vision Gaming System Review

Stereoscopic 3D gaming is nothing new. Those of us old enough to have played on Sega's Master System might remember the woefully unsupported 3D glasses accessory produced for it, not to mention Nintendo's disastrous Virtual Boy 3D goggles or the range of wretched shutter goggle systems that arrived with the early crop of 3D graphics cards. However, there's a sense that it's a technology that's finally coming of age.

Maybe it's the case that there's now a hardcore games market that's become about HD graphics and is looking for something new. Perhaps it's the publicity 3D is getting with Hollywood's renewed interest in stereoscopic film. Or it might just be that the technology is finally ready, or that it needed a player as big as nVidia to champion it.

HDMI 1.4 officially detailed: Ethernet / Audio Return channels, 3D, 4K x 2K support

We already heard that HDMI 1.4 was just around the bend, and now HDMI Licensing has come forward with all of the official details surrounding the specification. Unfortunately for AV enthusiasts, it seems as if we're taking two steps forward and three back, and we get this sinking feeling that HDMI 1.5 will be here before we know it. At any rate, the main additions to the format are an Ethernet channel, audio return channel, 3D over HDMI, 4K x 2K resolution support, a micro HDMI connector (around half the size of the existing HDMI Mini plug) and an automotive connection system. All fine and good, right? Sure, until you get to the part about having to choose between five different HDMI 1.4 cables, something that the suits at Monster just had to have a hand in. For a detailed look at what you'll need to study up on before buying your next HDMI cable, clinch your fists and hit the the read link.
