Mark,
Electronics are always overpriced in Korea compared to the rest of the world. When X130 crosses the ocean I guarantee it will be less than $500. As to the "piece of crap hardware" I hope you're talking about the comparison of stat. LG is a well respected brand in Korea competing with Samsung.

I want one!

This camcorder looks to be made to film upskirt shots.

Looks sweet!

@ Dan Davis: Dude, you're misinterpreting the article. It is 10-15% of 100% not 10-15% lower than 100%. spam-from-engadget's point above is that the amount power consumption is more headline-worthy than the photo mode itself.

@ rpsfan: Correct. The point of the article here is that you can do all this w/out a separate set-top-box. I can do all that now by hooking up my laptop and I don't have Mac Mini.

Korean internet news site Chosun.com states besides neftlix, you will be able to surf youtube, instantly check weather, news, financial, shopping, educational and photo share services provided by Yahoo, and able to play music and movie files stored in user's PC. The article do not say whether all this is done via TV's built-in wireless or via ethernet, but I'm willing to bet wifi will be built in. If you can read Korean source article is found below.

Adolph, I thought Japan was part of the same Axis during WWII. Why the diss all of sudden?

The next "Bluray killer" Toshiba will work on is the SpursEngine. With this in every laptop and upscaling DVD player, you may never feel the need to switch to next generation format.
