Rogers' Rocket Hub disguises 3G data and voice as mild-mannered home modem
Good news for Canadians who can't seem to get a decent internet plan for home. Rogers has unveiled a 3G station for residential use dubbed the Rocket Hub, and with it a number of jet propulsion-related puns that we'll be taking painstaking measures to avoid. It boasts 7.2Mbps HSPA, WiFi and ethernet out, and voice calls over UMTS. Makes sense since it's riding an Ericsson W3x core. The Upfront cost of hardware hasn't been disclosed yet, but plans start at $35 Canadian. Launch date (okay, we couldn't resist) is sometime later this month.
Eyes on LG's Color Pop monitors, just called Coke in the south
Hey princess, look over here -- daddy's got a pair of new LG W30 Color Pop monitors for you. These sticky-sweet parfaits of sugar-liquid crystal come all the way from South Korea. Do you know where that is? Sure you do, just below that little man with the bouffant hairdo and Elvis specs. These 37-mm slim monitors are available in your choice of Oreo Black, Jelly Pink, Blueberry Purple, Applemint Green, and Hawaiian Blue and ship with a glossy, two-tone frame to further unsettle your mother's sense of refinement. They come in medium (18.5-inch, 1366x768 pixels) and big (21.5-inch, 1920x1080) sizes and begin shipping in the US come September and worldwide later in the year. Just for you, 'cause you're worth it honey.
Ericsson's fashion-forward W30 series 3G routers get detailed
It's not every day that we use "Ericsson," "sexy," and "3G router" all in the same sentence, so you can understand our excitement upon learning everything there is to know about the company's new W30 and W35 models. Calling it "3G" might be an understatement, actually -- these bad boys will do a purely theoretical 7.2Mbps down and 2.0Mbps up on three hair-raising HSPA bands in addition to quadband EDGE. Both models offer 802.11b / g and four Ethernet ports for routing that high-speed WWAN data however you see fit, and the W35 ups the ante by throwing two RJ11 ports on board for VoIP connectivity. The W35 looks to be shipping in early June, so clear a nice little feng shui spot on your kitchen counter where it can sit, get friendly compliments from the neighbors, and enhance your calm.

Oracom's W30 PMP, slathered in haptic goodness
It's been a while since an Oracom PMP caught our attention, but our ears perked up with news of its W30 rolling out later this month. Although the specs aren't anything out of the ordinary -- dictionary, DMB TV / FM tuner, and 4GB of memory to store whatever your little heart desires -- we're intrigued to see a haptic touchscreen device selling for the reasonable price of $180. The tiny 240 x 400 3-inch display is our only deterrent -- show us a flexible widescreen version and we'll talk.[Via Electronista]
Hands-on with Pentax's A30, M30, T30, and W30
We didn't get our fill drooling over the 645 Digital so we hit up Pentax to show us their new line of compacts, the A30, M30, T30, and W30. We could have been a bit more impressed by the lot, although the T30, with its massive, bright touchscreen and slender body, was definitely the eye-catcher of the bunch.
