Hyundai IT shows off 70-inch multitouch table concept
There's not a ton of details on this one just yet, but Hyundai IT is reportedly showing off this 70-inch multitouch table at the Korea Electronics Show this week -- in concept form, at least. While there's no specs -- apart from the fact that it's "HD" -- Hyundai is apparently saying that you'd be able to use the display either as a Surface-like multitouch table or as a TV, although it's not clear if that means it actually tilts up. Contrary to appearances, however, the table apparently doesn't function as a phone. Here's hoping Hyundai will actually show it off in action once the show gets underway.
Haier HV-2200TSW brings 22 inches of radiance
Sick of news from the Korea Electronics Show? Of course not, that's why you're reading Engadget on a beautiful Sunday instead of being outside and enjoying the world. We've just come across this new piece of Haier hotness, the HV-2200TSW. Oh yes, it's comin' atcha with a 1,680 x 1,050 resolution, packs 300 candelas-per-square-meter of brightness, brings a 700:1 contrast ratio and has a 5-millisecond response time. And we welcome you to guess as to whether we know the price of this display or when you can get it. Yes, it's just as frustrating for you as it is for us.
Anam portable T-DMB demoed at KES
You didn't think that we were done with products from KES did you? Oh no, we've got another strictly-foreign device for you to lust after. How about an Anam portable media player with a T-DMB tuner? Yeah Sharp's got a similar device, but this one has 7 channels of digital television along with 13 channels of digital radio rolled up into a 2.2-inch package that runs for five hours on the internal battery and lets you save all your shows to a nice little SD card. To be fair, the Sharp device does have GPS and a few other things too, but this little Anam portable T-DMB just has a bit more pizzazz, don't you think? Okay, okay, we just like rooting for the underdog.
LG &37 media player melds touchscreen with brushed metal
While everyone is still waiting for the true video iPod, LG appears to have kinda sorta beat 'em to the punch with its new "&37." Sure, we've seen touchscreens before on media players and even electronic dictionaries -- but none of them come in brushed aluminum, and really, who doesn't love brushed aluminum? Good looks aside, this 2.4-inch media player, which recently debuted at the Korea Electronics Show, packs 4GB of strage, a three-hour battery, a photo viewer and a "mobile XD engine," whatever that is. We imagine that you'll be able to find this 51.5 x 90 x 10.4mm (2.02 x 3.54 x 0.4-inches) ampersander in Korea sometime soon, but no, we don't know how much it'll set you back. Click on over to the next page & check out a few glamor shots of the &37.[Via I4U News]
Digital Cube NetForce rocks out with HSDPA
Sure, we've seen HSDPA in cellphones, laptops, but not too many media players. In a special event at the Korea Electronics Show, Digital Cube debuted its new media players, the HSDPA-rockin' NetForce and its little cousin, the Mini. The NetForce will bring 3G via "an external module" and otherwise runs Windows CE 5.0, brings a 800 x 480 resolution, is loaded with WiFi, and a Microsoft Office "viewer." The Mini packs a punch as well, bringing T-DMB plus the usual host of audio file playback, as well as still photos and text. As is far too often the case, we have very little info with regard to pricing or availibility. Peep the flip side for a glimpse of the Mini.[Via AVING]
Mice at KES 2006: Thin is in
As much as we love wrapping a hand around the sexy curves of our ergonomic Logitech mouse, the rather bulky input device isn't always practical for the geek-on-the-go, which is why companies like Samsung have developed waifish little mice such as the model pictured above. On display at this year's Korean Electronics Show, Sammy's travel mouse measures in at only 8-millimeters thick, yet manages to pack in five buttons, a scroll wheel, and the increasingly-obligatory LED light show. Not only that, the little rodent is even able to swallow its own tail, so to speak, thanks to a winding mechanism that draws the USB cord almost completely inside its minuscule body. If for some reason this model is too thick for your tastes, a company called iCantek has taken a cue from the MoGo MouseBT and built its own PC card-sized device (pictured after the break), although this one unfolds a little differently and lacks its competitor's wireless capabilities. And if you're really looking to go small -- small enough that it's uncomfortable to maneuver -- check out the LG FINGER mouse we featured earlier this year, which was recently taken off the market after it was discovered that LG was making them with real fingers.Read- SamsungRead- iCantek
