Pioneer has announced their 2008 US lineup of Kuro Plasma TVs. The focus is on deeper black levels, 5x deeper than last years models plus they have software that monitors room conditions and automatically makes adjustments. There aren't many hard details in the press release, butthey are 3.7" thick, they will start arriving in June, are all 1080p, and will start with a 50" for $4000 and a 60" for $5500. Press release:...
As if "urban youth" weren't annoying enough, they can now buy hoodies with built-in speakers. At least the speakers are unpowered so the noise shouldn't be too deafening. Then again they will probably be less annoying that the people having loud one-sided bluetooth phonecalls. Thankfully these are just a prototype for now. (via makezine)...
Asus has warned users to beware of third party batteries that may have damaged at least one eee pc and noted that such damage would not be covered under warranty. Apparently there are batteries available in China for $71 to $86 that had capacities up to twice that of the standard eee pc battery. The battery maker denies the claims of overheating and states that it is propaganda put out by their rivals designed to hurt their sales. (via digitimes)...
Gizmag has taken a new look at the Rinspeed sQuba amphibious zero emission concept car that turned up at last year's Geneva Motor Show. The sQuba is designed to go 75mph on land and about 2mph in the water, it is powered by a single 54 kW motor plus a four additional engines for underwater:2 x 800W units drive the twin stern propellers and up front, 2 x 3.6kW Seabob jet drives for steering. The open top combined with going underwater is a bit strange though: do you wear a wetsuit all day in case you need to go underwater or do you just get your clothes wet and keep some spare clothes in the truck?

The register has reviewed the $300 Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS20 digital camera. Here's what they thought: "Overall, we liked the DMC-FS20 very much. It lacks some of the glitz of other models in a similar price range and it doesn't offer a great deal when it comes to manual control. But then again, this is exactly what many digital camera owners are looking for. The next time you're in the market for a digital camera, may we respectively suggest that, in addition to considering the usual suspects, you check out this Panasonic offering as well."

Hitachi has joined Fujitsu in promising a 320GB 7200rpm 2.5 inch laptop hard drive. The Travelstar 7K320 is said to have all the benefits of a 7200rpm drive (speed) without most of the problems. it's battery performance is 22% than previous drives sucking up 1.8 watts when reading/writing (the same as a 5400rpm drive) but it's idling power consumption is higher: 0.8 watts compared to 0.55 watts for a 5400rpm drive. No price yet but Hitachi claims they will have the drives for sale later this month which means they could be out sooner than the Fujitsu drives which aren't expected to appear until June.

Sprint has released a video comparing their Sprint Instinct GPS to using Google Maps on the iPhone. This video also shows off the nice slim look of the Instinct compared to the iPhone....
Irons are a necessity: don't iron your clothes and your boss thinks you are a lazy hippie, iron your clothes and you look smart and presentable and get a promotion. A downside to irons has always been that they take ages to cool off so you leave them sitting there while you watch the kids and pets to make sure they don't go play with the cord. Now you can just put the iron away and forget about it in the Sunbeam hot iron storage case: it's made of fancy heat resistant plastics, has adjustable silicon pads to hold the iron, and has a locking lid to keeps the kids/pets out. Great idea and only $20 at Sunbeam (via ohgizmo)...
Asus has announced a little USB TV tuner/receiver that they claim is plug and play (or should that be plug and watch) on any xp or vista pc. The My Cinema U3100 mini automatically launches TV viewing software and doesn't need any external power source, getting all it's juice through the PCs powered USB2 slot. The press release makes it sound like the second coming, but I think we will wait for a few reviews to get a better idea of it's capabilities. (via fareastgizmos)...
Pioneer's second blu-ray announcement of the day is the Pioneer Elite BDP-05FD.

The Elite adds gold plated connectors, aluminum front panel, touch sensitive buttons, and $200 for a total price tag of $800. We are still not impressed....
