World's First Glass Free 3D mobile by LG Optimus 3D Max

Once again The Korean smartphone maker LG comes with its first 3D handset, Optimus 3D Max glass free, LG claims the Optimus 3D Max -- which will also be called the Optimus 3D Cube in some regions -- will stand out from the pack thanks to its unique 3D experience and advanced NFC capabilities

The LG Optimus 3D Max appears to be the same device, The smartphone is slimmer than its predecessor at 9.6 mm thin and has a 1.2GHz dual-core processor the phone is called the Optimus 3D Max, the short specification that were listed in that leak were not exactly spot on, as it now becomes evident. What displays the glasses-free 3D goodness is a 4.3” WVGA display IPS LCD screen with 480 by 800 pixels of resolution, even though we were hoping to see a bigger display with a higher pixel count. Still, the display on the Optimus 3D Max should have wider viewing angles and is reinforced by Corning Gorilla Glass 2. Besides, at 520 nits in 2D mode or 250 nits in 3D mode, it should also be slightly brighter than what we have on the Optimus 3D, 8GB of internal storage, 1GB of memory.

LG Optimus 3D max comes with Corning Gorilla Glass 2,O a 5MP dual-lens camera for shooting video and photos in 3D, a 1,520 mAh battery, HSPA+ 21 Mbps, an HDMI connection 2D/3D TV/monitor up to 1080p via a Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL), DNLA support (3D video also supported), NFC Full Support, and LG Tag+.

The Optimus 3D Max will first launch in Korea in March and will gradually roll out in other markets starting in Europe. The device will receive an upgrade to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich from Android 2.3 Gingerbread shortly after the launch.

World's Smallest Video Streaming - Live Streaming

Contour, leader in hands-free camcorder, announced a partnership Cerevo to unveil the world smallest and least expensive live-streaming video solution at CES 2012. The new partnership will allow a simple HDMI cable to connect Contour’s Contour+ camera to Cerevo’s LiveShell to bring real-time video to the Ustream website. Marc Barros, CEO and Co-Founder of Contour, said, “It’s a perfect compliment to our Contour+ camera model. We start with the best hands-free, POV camera with built-in GPS and mobile connectivity – and have now add a wireless live-streaming solution with the LiveShell. Partnering with Cerevo and Ustream will allow Contour customers to share their ski run, bike route, or any other hands-free action with their family and friends in real-time.” The two will be a perfect compliment indeed. Picture below is a demonstration of the two devices at work.

1. Broadcast POV footage as its captured: World’s first “Ustream Compatible” internet-broadcasting device (released November, 2011 in Japan) let’s you share your action live on the web.
2. Set-up Easily: No PC or Mac needed; change settings via remote control access on a Web-based Dashboard – by computer and/or smartphone
3. Deliver the Action Instantly: An HDMI interface makes recording and broadcasting live a snap!
4. High Quality Video: Fuzzy video streaming is gone! Contour+ delivers HD video in 1080p at 25/30fps or 720p at 25/30 and50/60fps and attaches to a variety of mounts.  The maximum resolution with Cerevo LiveShell is approximately 480p.
5. Film and broadcast for Hours: LiveShell and the Contour+ both have greater than 2-hour battery life

Contour also announced Contour’s remote control or Contour Connect App will allow users to remotely stop and start recording on Android devices. The Contour Connect App will be available in April.

Contour and Cerevo brought a fun way in sharing videos with the ability to mount the contour at the toughest spots, but now the experience can be watch instantly and live at the convenience of your phone, laptop, desktop, pretty much anywhere around the world now.

LG to show 55-inch OLED TV, world's largest Display Claim by LG (at CES 2012) las vegas

LG has announced that it has developed the world’s largest OLED TV panel, 55-inch OLED TV panel measuring just 5-mm thick. The world's largest OLED panel will receive its first public demonstration at CES in Las Vegas starting January 9th.which the company will have on display at next month’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

The OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diodes) TV panel is reportedly 55 inches in diameter, and has a higher contrast ratio and wider color gamut than LCD TVs.

“Although OLED technology is seen as the future of TV display, the technology has been limited to smaller display sizes and by high costs, until now,” Dr. Sang Beom Han, CEO and executive vice-president of LG Display, said in a statement. “LG Display's 55-inch OLED TV panel has overcome these barriers."

LG overcame the cost hurdle by adopting a different technology for its display. While smaller OLED displays typically employ what’s known as Low Temperature Poly Silicon (LTPS), which uses amorphous silicon, the new 55-inch panel has Oxide Thin Film Transistor (TFT) technology, which uses the much cheaper oxide. The company said that Oxide TFT produces the same image quality of high performance LTPS but at a significantly reduced cost.

The company claims that this television is able to achieve contrast ratio of over 100, 000:1 with wider color gamut than LCD panels. In addition, LG has achieved high velocity reaction to electric signals with this panel that is over 1000 times faster than LCD panels, eliminating after image (ghost image). Lastly, with an advantage of using OLED technology, LG has been able to confine the thickness of the TV to just 5mm. We will have to wait until CES in January next year to get the dope on some important stuff like screen resolution, availability and pricing.

Of course, LG hasn’t given a cost estimate for the new TV just yet.

All of these features are packed into a casing that’s thinner than a pen and lighter than conventional LCD panels.

LG unveil 84-inch 3D Ultra Definition TV, world's largest 3D display will show it to you in person at CES 2012

LG has announced that it has developed the world’s largest 3D LED TV panel, 84-inch 3D LED TV panel, as the company just announced it's bringing an 84-inch "ultra definition" (3840x2160) TV to Las Vegas to go along with its 55-inch OLED.

"LG is pushing the limits of home entertainment innovation with this 3D UD TV," said Havis Kwon, President and CEO of LG Electronics Home Entertainment Company. "We are bringing together all our Smart TV and 3D knowledge in the 3D UD TV in order to demonstrate to the CES  2012 audience that LG is committed to being the world's leading brand for immersive home entertainment in 2012 and beyond."

The key feature here is the Ultra Definition panel, which has a resolution of 3840 x 2160, four times the resolution of current Full HD panels. It uses LG’s Slim and Narrow Bezel design, which makes the display look like it’s going from edge to edge and does not jut out too much from your wall. The TV will come with a set of passive 3D glasses.

One of the reasons LG is making the jump first is for 3D. Its Cinema 3D tech uses a Film Pattern Retarder (FPR) screen and passive glasses that result in lowered resolution, but with those extra pixels there's no question about whether viewers are still getting at least an HD picture. So far 4K at home is the domain of Sony and JVC's high-priced projectors, but we'll see if any other companies (we'll check off Toshiba right now) show off upgrades in size and resolution of their HDTVs this year. Check the press release after the break for a few more details.

No mention of pricing or availability has been made. We will probably find that out during CES itself.

SanDisk and Toshiba World's Smallest NAND

type='html'>

We know that SanDisk and Toshiba have already teamed up together to make 64 GB, 2-bits-per-cell (X2) based monolithic chip on 19nm technology, which both of these companies claim is the smallest and most advanced memory process tech node in planet. And this memory will be in mass production about in second half of 2011. At that time, SanDisk will also add 3-cits-per-cel (X3) products fabricated with the 19nm process technology to its product lineup.

Both of two companies really happy because they can produce the smallest and lowest-cost NAND flash chip based on industry-leading 19nm process technology in our ongoing collaboration with our partner Toshiba. And when you know, that actually this news come a day after Intel and Micron announched its 20nm process. What a great start.

OCZ'z Vertex Pro 3 Demo: World's First SandForce SF-2000

A few months ago SandForce announced its second generation SSD controller: the SF-2000 series. The specs SandForce released at the time were almost too good to be true. As a refresher here’s what we saw back in October of last year:

SandForce is promising a single enterprise level drive that can deliver 500MB/s sequential reads and writes (for highly compressible data), and up to 60K IOPS for 4KB random reads and writes. That’s not an evolutionary improvement, that’s more than a doubling of what most of the competition can do today. Even compared to existing SandForce drives it’s a huge increase in performance. But as I’ve heard many times before, anyone can put out a promising PDF.

Read on to find out if OCZ's beta Vertex 3 Pro can live up to the expectations.
