IFA 2007 – Behringer’s USB Guitar makes computer recording easy

, Sep 1st 2007 Discuss [2]

With resident SlashGear writer Scott's obsession for Guitar Hero, I fully expect him to wet himself on seeing Behringer's new USB guitar range, launched at IFA 2007.  Since music recording and editing has increasingly gone from the professional studio filled with racks of hardware and into instead the humble laptop, one of the last outstays has been recording live instruments; now, Behringer has made it as straightforward as plugging your guitar into a free USB port.   Read The Full Story

, Sep 1st 2007 Discuss [0]

At their IFA 2007 Press Conference Creative pretty much said "iPod who?" as all eyes were on their credit-card sized ZEN PMP.  The tiny device - which measures just 55 x 83 x 12mm - is easily Creative's best mobile device to date, with a 2.5-inch, 16.7-million-colours screen, a choice of 4, 8 or 16GB of internal memory (expandable via an SD/SDHC slot) and support for MP3, AAC (unprotected), WMA, WMV, MPEG-4, DivX and XviD files.  [youtube _zFc7T3SC8U] Read The Full Story

IFA 2007 – Exclusive video hands-on of LG’s KS20: the HSDPA Prada

, Aug 31st 2007 Discuss [0]

Back in February we showed you exclusive photos of what at the time looked to be an LG Prada handset running Windows Mobile 6; well, at IFA 2007 LG unveiled just that – it’s called the KS20 and it’s pretty much the answer to everyone who wanted the style of the Prada but with the power of a full smartphone. Vincent has shot some exclusive video footage of the KS20 – which is rocking HSDPA high-speed cellular broadband, dual-cameras for video conferencing and full internet access – and as you can see they’ve adapted the WM6 OS to take on board some of the Prada’s UI niceness.

IFA 2007 – Sharp’s super-thin LCD caught on video

, Aug 31st 2007 Discuss [0]

It's early days, but Sharp's indecently thin LCD TV has undoubtedly been the talk of IFA 2007.  Just 20mm in the screen section, and a mere 29mm at its thickest, the glass-encased Aquos weighs just 25kg and yet boasts an astonishing 100,000:1 contrast ratio.  Little surprise that spontaneous gasps leaked from the audience on first seeing it.
