Nice to know that the latest firmware update 6.20 for the Sony PSP will introduce an additional column in the XMB called “Extras.” Under this column lies the “Digital Comics” category that will kick off in December when Sony starts to roll out digital comic books via the Playstation Store. Alongside that addition to encourage little ones to read more, Sony also increased the potency of their compatibility with Media Go software, enabling users to view videos and listen to audio playlists created within Media Go.
Nintendo’s DSi LL has arrived in Japan yesterday, and by the time the Yodobashi Camera in Akihabara opened, there were around 100 people lined up. Looks like we could see the Sony PSP-3000 and PS3 both move down a notch from first and second places in the weekly Japanese hardware sales charts next week as the DSi LL helps Nintendo leapfrog to first place. Could this introduction also push the PS2 out of the sales charts since there would be 3 iterations of the DS then? As for those living in Europe and US, we’ll have to wait until 2010.

Brace Audio announced the shipping of the DWG1000-TX Digital Wireless Guitar System.
A breakthrough in wireless technology, the Brace DWG-1000 blows away traditional analog wireless systems and gives you something cables can’t: natural tone and freedom to roam the stage or control room.
Frequency response of 10Hz to 15kHz delivers thunderous lows and crystal-clear highs rivaling the most expensive audio cables without the static, pumping, breathing, and dropouts found in dynamics-destroying companding and other side effects of analog systems. Brace Audio’s unique internal dome antenna design helps immensely for drop out avoidance and also prevents antenna breakage.
The DWG-1000 is rugged and a no-brainer to use. ALL™ Automatic Channel Selection and Locking transparently links the transmitter to the receiver the moment the units are powered on. Depending upon conditions, up to twelve DWG-1000 Digital Wireless Systems can be used simultaneously onstage and up to six DWG-1000-TX transmitters can link to a single DWG-1000 receiver.
Operating at 2.4 GHz, the DWG-1000 includes a declaration of conformity, so you’ll never worry about their wireless being confiscated when traveling internationally and is certified for use in USA, Canada and the EU.

New green gadgets have been unveiled in the 2009 Green Festival in San Fransisco. Some are vitally necessary for human survival, such as water filtration systems which could mean life or death to children in developing nations; and others are simply convenient, helpful, and beneficial to the environment – like a portable chicken coop, a water-soluble flushable doggie waste bag, or a compost system staffed with a crew of worms.
Popcorn will get you free movie tickets anytime but what in the world will you be able to get when you have a popcorn phone? This is actually the question for those who are eyeing the LG GU280 Popcorn Phone, which is starting to attract attention not necessarily because of its looks, but because of its name.
The LG GU280 Popcorn Phone is LG’s answer to Samsung’s chocolate, not may be in terms of phone features or capabilities but in terms of mass appeal. The popcorn phone will first be seen in Italy but we are pretty sure this will be made available outside of Italy’s borders soon.
The delicious phone comes in a white-pink colored case, which could be a misnomer since popcorn is more like golden yellow to us. This is a slider phone with a 2-inch TFT screen display and a 1.3 megapixel camera. The internal memory of only 20MB is disappointing but it supports a microSD card slot with up to 4GB of extra storage.
The phone has basic connectivity features and by that we mean GSM/GPRS/EDGE and Bluetooth. With up to four hours of talk time and up to 100 hours of standby time, the LG GU280 Popcorn Phone will be a nice gadget to bring with you during the day or night, provided you’re not into marathon texting and calling.
We have always been enamoured with phones that are easy to handle and which allows us to easily slide it in our pockets. This is exactly what is being offered by the Motorola Quantico phone which was specifically made for rough and tumble of everyday life.
The Motorola Quantico phone comes with tough-as-nails exterior thanks to a combination of very durable materials like rubber, mesh, glass and chrome. This rugged cellphone was made with military specifications in mind so you can expect it to be very useful and durable in and out of the water, since it can withstand being submerged in up to one meter of water for thirty minutes. The phone has a water ingress protection IPX7 certification. It is also capable of surviving extreme dust, temperature, shock and all-weather condition.
The phone comes with a 1.3 megapixel camera and provides you turn-by-turn navigation functions thanks to the GPS technology. What is surprising is the affordable price of $99.95. This cellphone will keep you working even if you have to change locations from the air-conditioned boardrooms to the dirty outdoors.
Hands-free call is also easy with the Motorola Quantico phone, thanks to the integrated Bluetooth capability. It even comes with dedicated external buttons which allows you to access your phone’s functions even if the flip of the phone is closed.
Introduction
Hot on the heels of Motorola’s Droid debut, Verizon is adding another sweet treat to its lineup: the LG Chocolate Touch VX8575. The latest in the Chocolate line offers a yummy, slick touchscreen, as well as FM radio, Dolby’s Mobile equalizer and a “Join the Band” feature for all of your music needs. Still, it’s a phone first and foremost — right?
Features and Design
Sadly, this is not the Chocolate we expected to unwrap. Shots of LG’s Chocolate Touch BL40 have been floating around the web for months. However, the company decided to make that a European exclusive (for now). Instead, we get the VX8575. That’s not to say it’s not pretty. It’s just not all that unique, especially when compared to the LG Vu or the Dare.
The unit itself is shiny and pretty thin, at just under a half an inch. On the back, underneath the camera, there are four funky shapes carved out and covered with a soft material. It looks like something that might keep the phone from sliding off the dashboard (yeah, don’t try that). If you don’t like the look of the black shapes, there’s an extra back plate with purple shapes.
However, it’s not the back that’s the prettiest part. The 3-inch display is where things get most interesting, thanks to 262,000 colors and a 400 x 240 resolution. All of that nice imagery will help when flipping through the phone’s many functions. As with most touchscreen products, there will be a learning curve. Even the daintiest digits will be all thumbs until a certain comfort level is achieved. That said, the touchscreen does respond very well, with optional vibrating and audible feedback to boot.
Ports & Connectors
The top of the Chocolate Touch features a 3.5mm headphone jack. The micro USB jack is on left. When swapping out that back plate, you’ll see the microSD card slot right underneath, which can add an extra 16GB of memory to the internal 1GB.
Multimedia Options
The LG Chocolate Touch is the multimedia master, combining everything one could possibly want in one handheld. Aside from one-touch access to Facebook, MySpace and Twitter, the unit includes an FM radio with 12 presets, audio and video content from Verizon’s VCAST, and even a “Join the Band” feature, which allows users to tap along to music on a virtual piano or drum kit. Our unit also came with demos for Rock Band and The Sims 3. For those many features, the unit has a built-in accelerometer, which automatically flips from portrait to landscape views when the phone is turned. This especially made video a lot more watchable.
Sound Quality
LG has included Dolby’s Mobile equalizer, so that music geeks can tweak music manually or with five presets (Flat, Bass Boost, Treble Boost, Vocal Boost or Classical). During audio and video playback, the phone’s teeny speaker sounded surprisingly awesome. Connect a speaker or slap on some headphones, and this unit would surely take over as your main choice for mobile music.
Phone Functionality
Who knew? This unit has phone features too. The phone book stores multiple numbers and email addresses for 1,000 of your closest friends. Typing on the on-screen keyboard is very easy. During dialing, the numbers are large and easy to poke. Typing in info is a bit more tedious, but the keyboard magnifies every key you touch. When it came to actual calls, we did receive a few complaints about the sound quality on the receiving end. Some said it sounded like we were calling from a tunnel, others said it was obvious that we were on a cell phone, and in one case, we were told that the call was completely unintelligible. However, our end sounded excellent, with absolutely no drops or distortion.
Internet and Online Connectivity
Verizon’s VZW Today service offers easy access to headline news, weather, sports and entertainment. Anything else requires Microsoft’s Bing search engine as a middleman. If you decide to ditch SI.com for ESPN, it doesn’t just happen; it has to go through Bing. However, we were pretty pleased with load times, as well as graphics.
Digital Camera Features
The Chocolate Touch has a 3.2-megapixel camera. Whether inside or out, it takes some very nice photos, with options for five different resolutions. There are also plenty of on-screen effects and editing tools to play around with. Indoor video didn’t have as bright of an image. If you want to send it, you’ll only get 30 seconds’ worth. If it’s a keeper, the recording time goes up to an hour.
Battery Life
Verizon rates the Chocolate Touch with 306 minutes of battery life; that jumps up to 470 hours in standby. For more than 24 hours, we shot photos and video, made calls, played music, video and games, and just let the unit sit on a countertop. Even after that workout, the battery life had barely moved.
Conclusion
LG’s Chocolate Touch isn’t as tasty as the company makes it out to be, but does provide some fun. If music is a must-have feature for your phone, you can’t do much better than this model. Those willing to lock in for two years will get $50 back from Verizon, making the price $79.99 — and a lot more enticing.
