SONY PS3 3D DISPLAY

Around 1% ofPS3s are currently connected to 3D TVs - a travesty that Sony hopes to rectify withthis sleek monitor. But while it does 3D, it's the PS3 3D Display's two player talentsthat piqued our interest.

You get two pairs of active 30 glassesin the box -a hint that this is a screen that you're supposed to enjoy in thecompany of another, using the genius SimuiView tech . The specs are lighterthan earlier Sony efforts, making it easy to forget you're wearing them, andthey're universal, so you can use them with other active sets. Plus they charge quickly: each minute gives anhour of action, up to a maximum of 30hours.

Even without the PlayStation logo onthe front it'd be obvious that this monitor is designed to partner a PS3. Itsdistinctive curved edges and glossy finish looked great next to both our chunkyold testing console and our modern slimline one. The uniform blackness alsomakes the 241n screen look biggerthan it is, and it sucks you into the action effectively. it's a mightyslim unit, too.

Monitors and small TVs rarely havegreat sound, so Sony deserves props for attempting to buck the trend with abuilt-in 2.1 system. The Integrated subwoofer may not fill out audio a hugeamount, but effects and voices emerge dearly, so you'll always hear NathanDrake's witty I annoying quips when playing Uncharted 3.

The PS3 Display has all the specs tomake games look great, especially in 3D. Some high-end displays produceslightly deeper pictures, but the Sony strikes a perfect balance betweendramatic depth and image control, In that there's almost no crosstalk ordouble- imaging.

Price:  705 $

Opena Case for iPhone 4 (bottle opener)

Since the iPhone was first launchwe have been flooded with tons of cases, some classic, some modern, somestrange looking.

I must recognize that I wasfirst shocked when I first saw a picture of the Opena Case for iPhone 4, butafter I said to myself “Why not? There are stranger things.”

So, the Opena Case foriPhone 4 has an integrated stainless steel bottle opener that slides in and outquite well. It can be very useful and space economical to use. After searchingthe web a little bit I found out that there are many other bottle opener casesfor the iPhone 4 and I think there will be more to come and surely there willbe even stranger cases like maybe a spoon case or a knife. That will be quitefunny.

Anyhow, if you want to buyone we can get it for 39.99$ and it’s available in two colors: black and white.

HTC Touch HD

Performance
In the realms of technology, bigger doesn't necessarily translate to better, however, this is certainly true when comparing the Touch HD to its predecessor. Supporting the huge screen is a 528MHz Qualcomm processor and 288MB RAM, a significant increase in memory from the Diamond, and this results in the best performance we've seen for TouchFlo 3D to date. After an agonisingly long boot time, the Touch HD runs smoothly. Swiping from menu to menu is fluid and there is only a few instances, like starting and ending calls, which always tend to lag the interface.

Battery life is also light years better than the Diamond. Putting a 900mAh battery in the Diamond was a huge mistake by HTC, but this 50 per cent larger battery pays dividends, giving us at least three days between charges with moderate use. HTC rates the battery life at a whopping seven hours of talk-time.

As a media player, the Touch HD passes with flying colours, but still lacks the intuitive interface of the iPhone. YouTube videos look great and music sounds great, with thanks in part to HTC wisely including a 3.5mm headphone socket. Its finger-swiping media menus are definitely attractive, but switching between artists and albums can become tedious with the amount of input required to perform what is a simple task.

Its 5-megapixel camera also falls just short of the mark. Its interface is exactly as the iPhone's should be, with access to changing the white balance and image size, etc. Users can manually focus elements in the image by touching on the subject in the touchscreen viewfinder — a very cool touch — though this has little effect on the sharpness of the pictures this camera takes. Overall, the 5-megapixel camera takes mediocre pictures that lack natural colour and appear slightly blurry.

Design
Considering the announcement of the Palm Pre and the leaked images of the HTC road map, 2009 looks like the year everyone tries to out-play Apple with iPhone look-alikes. Last year, we saw touchscreens from Samsung, HTC and LG try to vary the formula, but with limited success compared to the front-runner. HTC has reconsidered its approach and the Touch HD is a fitting start to the year — it's shaped like an iPhone, but bigger.

Its 3.8-inch display is the biggest in this field and its WVGA (480x800) resolution is amongst the sharpest. Together these aspects add to make HTC's fantastic TouchFlo 3D interface look its best. With a screen this large and clear even some of the smallest areas of the interface are now finger-friendly. HTC includes a stylus with the handset, sheathed on the bottom right of the phone, but we've had no occasion to whip it out during our tests.

The Touch HD feels fantastic to hold. Though its 12mm depth is identical to the iPhone 3G, its design is slightly boxier, which helps make the Touch HD feel much less likely to slip from your grip. The front is a single piece of glass covering both the touch-active screen and four touch-sensitive keys below the screen, for dialling and exiting applications to the home screen.

The back of the Touch HD houses an auto-focusing 5-megapixel camera that sadly lacks a flash. A second front-facing camera lives above the large touchscreen and is used for video-calling. Under the battery cover we find a 1350mAh Li-on battery and the microSD card slot — an 8GB microSD is included with the phone. Also, HTC has included a 3.5mm headphone socket along with a separate USB port.

Features
The increase in size and improved camera module may give the false impression that the Touch HD is a vastly different smartphone experience to HTC's previously released Touch Diamond, but side by side these phone's aren't significantly different under the hood. Both phones run Windows Mobile 6.1 and feature a nearly identical suite of applications including Pocket Office supporting MS Office documents, ActivSync, a PDF reader, RSS feeder, a business card reader and a snazzy YouTube client.

The Touch HD also makes use of the same excellent Opera Mini web browser that we saw in the Diamond. While this browser may not feature the multi-touch "pinch and pull" zoom navigation of the iPhone's Safari browser, it has a decent alternative and renders full-sized web pages extremely well.

Like all smartphones in this segment, the Touch HD includes HSDPA technology for fast web browsing, Wi-Fi for accessing local networks and a built-in GPS receiver. Our review unit did not come with navigation software pre-installed, which is a shame considering the screen size. When its released exclusively with Telstra we won't see any dedicated nav-software installed; however, Telstra has confirmed that its WhereIs Navigator client will be available to download to the Touch HD in March.
Overall
Windows Mobile is still a less-than-perfect OS, but issues with WiMo are fewer than in previous HTC releases, and the Touch HD has certainly been a pleasure to review. Fashion-conscious business people who want a sexy phone that pulls its weight with business-focused features would be wise to check this one out.

Of course, you'll need to be a fashionable business person to pay the hefty AU$1,499 price tag, or to meet the AU$150 monthly contract payments with Telstra. These large, high-res screens don't come cheap, and we feel this pricing will sadly put the Touch HD out of the price range of many.

HP TouchPad WebOS 3.0 Slate

There she is, the HP TouchPad. It's the webOS slate we've been yearning for ever since probing (then) Palm CEO Jon Rubinstein on our first-ever Engadget Show, but sadly, it looks as if HP has yanked any and all Palm labeling from the final product. Introduced today in San Francisco as part of a newfangled webOS triumvirate, the TouchPad (previously known by Topaz) is shaped almost exactly like the iPad. It tips the scales at 1.6 pounds and measures 13.7mm thick, which is somewhat of a downer for those already put off by the heft found in Apple's slate. As we'd heard last month, HP's shipping this one with its own Beats audio engine, Touch-to-Share (a feature that lets users easily transfer a website, document, song, text or call from the phone to the tablet -- or vice versa -- simply by tapping the two devices together) and a huge reliance on the cloud. Also of note, Jon just mentioned that this is only the "first in the webOS TouchPad family," hinting that the Opal may be just around the bend.

Other specifications include webOS 3.0, "true multitasking," Touch-to-share, instant-on productivity, a 9.7-inch display (1024 x 768 screen resolution), a dual-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon CPU (!), inbuilt gyroscope, accelerometer, compass and 16GB / 32GB of internal storage space. There's also a front-facing 1.3 megapixel webcam, support for video calling, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, A-GPS (3G model only), "twice the memory of a Pre 2" and a set of stereo speakers. Rubenstein claims that this here tablet is "screaming fast," and the software UI we're seeing looks downright luscious. There's a new paneled email application a Growl-like pop-up notification system, support for Skype calling, compatibility with Amazon's Kindle e-book store, plenty of cal / email integration courtesy of HP Synergy, a slick virtual keyboard, VPN support, wireless printing as well as Google Docs, QuickOffice, Dropbox and Box.net compatibility. One of the killer features that can't be found on a competing tablet right now is this one's ability to talk to the Pre 3 -- so long as there's a Touchstone involved, one can have their Pre 3 and TouchPad communicate, even piping over notifications and texts from the phone onto the slate. It's a brilliant idea, and we're obviously amped to see just how well it's implemented.

Over on the accessories front, there's a case / stand (which includes a handy flip-out kickstand for desk use), a wireless keyboard (yeah, this one!) and a new Touchstone dock that enables all of the wireless communication magic between webOS devices. If you're curious about specific models, the first out of the gate will be a WiFi only version, with 3G and 4G variants to follow suit in due time. As for the all-important pricing and availability? "Coming this summer," with pricing to be determined "at a later date." Bah, humbug!
