On Sunday, LG announced that they are going ahead and releasing their previously planned 15-inch AMOLED television, and sooner than we could have hoped. If September wasn't big enough already, LG wants to wiggle in and make sure that you get to watch "your Zune HD" via a great looking, and brilliant display. But, are our wallets ready for another OLED tv? If LG can officially ship this thing, then we'd like to hope so.

By Chris Davies on Friday, Aug 21st 2009 1 Comment

MIUTech’s HDPC smartphone/MID hybrid looked, frankly, a mess in its first iteration, and a subsequent redesign or two did little to improve things. Happily the company have returned to the drawing board and come back with this slick little monster, freshly updated with some appealing specifications – full QWERTY, a 4.8-inch 1024 x 600 touchscreen and Intel Atom 1.6GHz Z530 processor – and a promise that, distributors aside, it’s all go for a release.

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Jul 28th 2009 No Comments

It’s been almost three years since we last mentioned a review of one of GamePark’s GP2X open-source handhelds, and as you might expect the company has made a few changes since then.

Samsung Omnia II GT-i8000 clears FCC with AT&T bands, plus video demo

By Chris Davies on Friday, Jul 24th 2009 No Comments

It’s not the first video we’ve seen of Samsung’s Omnia II GT-i8000 and it’s very unlikely to be the last, but news that the dualband 850/1900MHz 3G HSDPA/HSUPA version of the AMOLED touchscreen smartphone has cleared the FCC is definitely worth celebrating with some moving pictures. Beyond the AT&T and Rogers Canada friendly wireless bands there’s little here that we didn’t know already, but don’t let that disappoint you: the Omnia II is still a very tempting smartphone.
