The L may or not be for L'Amour: Samsung's L310 and L320
Samsung has busted out two decidedly fashion-friendly flips for eastern European countries, the L310 (left) and L320 (right). In fact, they're so fashion-friendly that Samsung says they're specifically targeted at women. The EDGE data and tri-band GSM radios aren't going to impress anyone, but we suppose those fancy frills just might -- maybe even fancy enough to garner some attention from Nokia. Both feature a 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, and microSD expansion, while the L320 ups the ante with an actual external display (imagine that!). You also get built-in calorie counter and perfume recommendation apps, though we're not so sure we'd trust our phones to tell us what we should smell like. The L310 will retail for about €220 ($319) and the L320 for about €240 ($348) when they go on sale next month.Read - Samsung L310Read - Samsung L320
Acer Aspire L320 mini PC touts Viiv certification
Every time you think the Viiv hype is dying down, Acer brings it back up, as just a few months after kicking out the "world's first" Viiv-certified LCD TV, the firm is now unveiling its Aspire L320 mini PC with -- you guessed it -- a shiny Viiv sticker adorning its case. Hot on the heels of its xSeries displays, this machine sports a slim, silver / black case designed for living room placement, a variety of Intel Pentium processors, up to 2GB of DDR2 RAM, up to 400GB of internal hard drive capacity, an Acer-branded digital / analog hybrid TV tuner, DVD writer, flash card reader, and a bevy of included ho hum software that you'll likely replace immediately upon bootup. Additionally, it sports 7.1-channel audio, Intel's GMA 3000 graphics set, VGA / DVI outputs, an option to add Windows Vista, FireWire, audio in / out, and a pair of USB 2.0 ports to round things out. No word just yet on price or availability, but this ought to be a fairly inexpensive alternative for those eying a very basic (and fairly attractive) pre-fab HTPC.[Via RegHardware]
