The LG Spectrum has a few things going for it: It has a dual-core processor, it connects up to Verizon's 4G LTE network for high-speed data, and it has a fancy new type of HD screen LG is calling “True HD IPS, and it costs $100 less than it's chief competition, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and Motorola Droid Razr.

If you thought HDTV was of a quality hard to beat, then think again. Apparently the BBC believes there is something 16 times better, and the British broadcaster is considering using it at the London Olympics next year. It's also planning to broadcast a number of events, including the men's 100 meters final, in 3D. Imagine that, the imposing figure of Usain Bolt storming down the track toward the camera (as long as he doesn’t make a… Read More

The Internet can't get enough of Nintendo's next console. Maybe it's because we're expecting something bonkers or maybe its because Nintendo is the only system maker still adhering to the five-year console lifecycle. In any case, Kotaku has heard that Nintendo's next console will have full 1080i/1080p graphics, 8GB of internal flash storage, and run on discs that can hold 25GB of data. In the same article, Kotaku… Read More

Was the news that the iPhone 5 won’t see production until September almost too much to bear? If so, brace yourself. DigiTimes is claiming that Apple’s shipment requests for the iPad 2 indicate that the iPad 3 “will not appear in the short term.” Sound open to interpretation? It’s not. To put it even more plainly, “the actual products are unlikely to appear in 2011.” If it’s any comfort, Apple may pull something of an unprecedented move and… Read More

Panasonic is clearly trying to tie its name to 3D capability, and the majority of its line seems centered around catering to the technology. Analysts keep surmising 3D will take off in the near future and hit consumer products, and it looks like Panasonic’s banking on it, since its consumer camcorders are also developed with 3D content in mind. A major focus of today's press conference was the ability to immediately view your own 3D images… Read More

He also claims the… Read More

When Beyond Good and Evil was originally released in 2003, it received critical praise, which soon led to several awards. It was mostly heralded by critics for its fresh and original take on the RPG genre, and won praise as one of the best adventure games in years. All of which makes for an impressive blurb on the cover of the game, but did not equate to sales. When the game was released on the PS2, Xbox, PC, and Gamecube, it was intended to… Read More

This is not your parent’s camcorder that they filmed a few of your birthday parties with—this is a new generation of camcorder, with full HD recording and a large 3.5” touchscreen display.
