LG reveals Full HD 3D projector, Skype-enabled HDTVs and more at CES
The show floor finally opened up here in Vegas today, and just as we knew they would, the product announcements are flowing hot and heavy. LG's one of today's biggest players, unleashing a whole bevy of new kit that truly spans the gamut of consumer electronic sectors. Kicking things off is the CF3D, which is hailed as the planet's first Full HD, 3D single lens type projector. As for specs, you'll get 3D auto picture calibration, a twin engine, two HDMI 1.3 sockets, 300 ANSI lumens and a single USB input, while the XGA HX300G won't do much of anyone outside of traveling salespeople much good. Moving on, there's a little confirmation of the Skype news that we caught wind of yesterday; sure enough, a range of LG's NetCast-enabled HDTVs will ship with Skype capabilities, though it sounds as if you'll need to budget for a standalone camera. LG's also making official that Mobile DTV-supporting DVD player that we first spotted at the tail end of last year, which will be in stores later this year for around $249. There's plenty more to share on these -- as well as a good bit surrounding a legion of new monitors -- so hop on past the break if you just can't get enough. %Gallery-81670%
Pentax's 8 megapixel Optio M40 and E40 shooters
Pentax will be announcing a pair of budget shooters later on today in the form of the Optio E40 and Option M40 slimster. The M40 is just another 8 megapixeler with 3x optical zoom lens and 2.5-inch LCD done up in a slim 0.7-inch slab. It offers face recognition, SD/SDHC expansion, VGA video at 30fps, and weaksauce digital shake reduction in an attempt to make the most of its ISO 3200 sensitivity. The E40 offers up a bit less only in chubby little chassis sure to fit the anxious hands of most first timers. Expect the M40 to ship in August for $200 list, while the E40 hits in September for about $150.%Gallery-4723%
Lil Jon injects his crunk into golf
Lil Jon is tippin' the ol' pimp cup and pourin' out some uh dat crunk juice onto Sprint's mobile network*. Crunk Golf, the precursor to next year's Crunk Rock album, sees Lil Jon tackling the game of golf within the confines of the "hood" -- more accurately, various urban environments, including Times Square. The goal is not to finish under par, but rather to "hit anything [and anyone] you want." Okaaay...?So what's next? E40's Hyphy Squash?*Other Lil Jon mobile titles include: Hot Secretary, Stackin' Bling, and Pool Hall Hustle (seriously, this is not a joke).[Via VH1 Game Break]
