Samsung B9000 HDTVs

Samsung has recently announced 46″ and 55″ HDTVs from the B9000 series that are actually sequels of the A950 models released sometime last year. These additions offer LED backlights alongside localized dimming to ensure you get the sharpest image possible, while Media 2.0 with YouTube/Yahoo! Widgets support add another dimension of interactivity. A built-in USB port allows you to view your favorite photos over a big screen, while DLNA functionality and a wireless connection to the external media box further adds to the overall desirability of the product. Too bad Samsung has not revealed important information such as pricing or availability, but that’s just a matter of time really.

USB Rubik Card Reader

Rubik’s Cube has entertained and puzzled kids for quite a number of decades now, and that could have inspired someone to come up with the awesome USB 270° x 270° Rubik Card Reader.

Instead, you can twist all three levels of this device parallel to one another so that there is always enough room for you to plug in all the corresponding memory cards in their respective slots. A blue LED functions as a status indicator on this $12 memory card reader.

Google has announced three new enchancement to its search engine at their event called Searchology: Google Search Options, Google Squared, and Rich Snippets.

With Search Options, the results page gives you more options and allows you to show and hide options. It is hoping that this feature will provide more useful results and a better search experience for its users.

Google Squared is the newest addition to Google Labs. It will be available later this month. Google Squared allows searchers to create a spreadsheet based on Web results. Users can filter the data accessed through the Google Squared search, request additional categories to create a custom spreadsheet with the results that matter the most to them, and even fact-check the results by accessing the source of the data as well as alternate sources.

According to a leaked roadmap of upcoming phones for later this year from Walmart, the below is called Morrison or aka Bigfoot. Many believe this isn’t going to be a new HTC Android phone instead, a revised version of the G1 or second gen G1 if you like. As you can see it sports a full slide-out HTC-style QWERTY keyboard, great for those who are keen on texts. BGR reports that the Bigfoot is likely to drop in October later this year for $148 with a 2-year agreement at Walmart. As for us in the UK, we’re not too sure whether it will actually make its way here.

The Playstation has been a dominating game console for as far as it can be remembered. But Sony / Sony Ericsson have always denied the possibility of a Sony Ericsson phone orientated towards its game console series, in other words a PlayStation phone. In the past Sony have stressed that a PlayStation-branded phone could only exist independently from the mobile phone maker. However in a recent interview with Financial Times, Sony Ericsson’s president Hideki Komiyama have hinted that a PlayStation branded phone could actually be back in their agenda afterall. “If we do not adapt to this new technology or new market environment, we’re going to lose”, the Sony Ericsson head suggested.

This comes as less of a surprise. With significant losses just within Q1 of 2009 and increasing threat into the portable gaming market from Apple’s iPhone and iPod Touch, clearly the Sony Ericsson boss feels it may be necessary afterall to rethink about the idea of launching a portable PlayStation mobile phone device - watch this space!
