Acer Unveils and Releases Two New 3D Monitors

Acer has just unveiled two new 3D-capable monitors to the world and they come in 23.6-inch (HS244HHQ) and 27-inch (HN274H) models. They should be available right now if you look hard enough with price tags of $450 and $689, respectively. Sadly, for you to see the 3D on the monitors you'll need those dorky Nvidia 3D glasses.

The smaller model packs 2ms response time, a 120Hz display, and a 12,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio; the larger monitor features three HDMI 3D inputs, a DVI-D / VGA port, a built-in IR emitter, and a 100,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. Some pretty good specs from both of them but they're pretty expensive.

You see that leaked image above? Of course you do. It tells us that a few products could be launching in the next few weeks. On April 15th, we could see the launch of the T-Mobile G2x which is the Optimus 2X for the carrier. The other big launch will be "soon" and it's the LG G-Slate which'll be the 3D "Honeycomb" tablet that we've seen a few times before. Unfortunately, this one will be launching for $529.99 and you'll be stuck on a 2-year contract.

Fujitsu LifeBook AH572 Notebook Packs a 15.6-Inch 3D Display and "Sandy Bridge" For $999

Fujitsu has just unveiled a new notebook which is actually pretty great. Normally, Fujitsu overprices their notebooks but not this time around. They have announced the LifeBook AH572 which sports Intel "Sandy Bridge" CPUs as well as a passive 3D display and even a 3D webcam which is pretty awesome if you're into the hype. Of course, you'll need the glasses to see March Madness in 3D.

Other specs for this notebook include a 500GB HDD, a Blu-ray drive, and Windows 7. Like I said, this one isn't overly expensive checking in at $999. If you want, you can check it out at Fujitsu.

LG Optimus Pad Hitting Japan's NTT DoCoMo On March 31st, 3D and All

It looks like the first place the LG Optimus Pad (G-Slate in the US) will be hitting is unsurprisingly Japan. This tablet will be available on NTT DoCoMo starting on March 31st and it'll be the first Android "Honeycomb" tablet with 3D capabilities without the need for glasses. Other specs include: an 8.9-inch display with a 1,280 x 768 resolution, 3G / GPS support, Bluetooth, and a rear-facing camera that'll shoot 3D video and pictures if you want it too. The price hasn't been mentioned yet so you'll have to wait for that.

HTC EVO 3D's Spec Sheet Leaks Ahead Of CTIA Announcement

It looks like HTC's security wasn't enough to keep PocketNow from snapping the photo above. Yup, those are the leaked specs for the soon to-be-announced EVO 3D which is headed to Sprint. Specs reportedly include a 4.3-inch 3D display with a 960 x 540 resolution, a dual-core 1.2GHz CPU, a 5MP camera with a flash and 1080p HD (2D) video recording with 720p (3D) video recording, a front-facing 1.3MP camera, and Android with the Sense UI. It's a pretty good spec sheet, I wonder if it'll have WiMAX as well.

AT&T Announces the Thrill 4G (Optimus 3D) and HTC HD7S

Yes, AT&T bought T-Mobile but that's yesterday's news. Today, they have announced the LG Thrill 4G (Optimus 3D with 4G) and the HTC HD7S. Of course, they're sporting Android 2.2 and Windows Phone 7, respectively. The Thrill 4G sports the same 4.3-inch glasses-free 3D display along with a 5MP camera that'll take 3D photos and videos. The HD7S is a slight upgrade over the original HD7 on T-Mobile but this time around it sports a Super LCD display.

Samsung Shows Off 55-Inch Glasses-Free 3DTV Prototype At FPD

Samsung has just shown off a glimpse of the future. At FPD China they have unveiled a large 55-inch glasses-free 3DTV prototype which was actually working pretty good. The display reportedly has 9 different angles where you can watch the 3D from and, of course, you can switch it to 2D mode whenever you want. Unfortunately, they mentioned that this technology probably won't be ready for the mainstream until 3 years down the road.

Asus' CEO Says They're Working On a 3D Tablet, MeeGo and Android Netbooks and WP7 For 2012

Asus has just announced something that sounds pretty darn great. Apparently, the CEO, Jerry Shen, has mentioned that they're working on a few products. They include: a 3D tablet, MeeGo and Android Atom powered netbooks, and even a Windows Phone 7 handset which actually won't hit the market until 2012. Nothing else has been mentioned but it would be surprising for the 3D tablet not to run Android so you can get excited if you don't want the LG G-Slate / Optimus Pad.

LG G-Slate Listed At $699 On An E-Tailer's Website

Thanks to an online e-tailer, MobileCity, it looks like the LG G-Slate may actually launch for $699.99 on at least one website. The MSRP for this product is $799.99 so it's pretty expensive but keep in mind that this is a 4G (HSPA+) tablet with 3D capabilities (camera and display). That's some pretty awesome and innovative stuff even though you're still stuck with just a 7-inch display. You certainly won't find either of those things in an iPad.

LG Now Shipping 3DTVs In Korea With Passive 3D Glasses

LG is now shipping the LW5700 TV in Korea and this may not sound like anything good but it is if you love 3D. This TV is an LCD model and you'll need "flicker free" passive 3D glasses to see your favourite objects pop out at you. These 3D glasses are much cheaper than those "active shutter" ones so you might even be able to buy one for the whole family if you want to watch UP over and over again. Furthermore, LG plans to ship 3DTVs like this to the US starting next month - March. Unfortunately, price hasn't been mentioned yet.

At LG's event earlier this morning they made what you see above official; that's the Optimus Pad which has its own fair share of 3D capabilities. This is exactly like the G-Slate which was announced by LG and T-Mobile USA a few weeks back but this one's intended for the rest of the world. Since that's the case, you should already know that the Optimus Pad features an 8.9-inch 3D display with a 1,280 x 720 resolution, a dual-core 1GHz Tegra 2 chipset, a 5MP 3D camera on the back with 1080p Full HD video recording, a front-facing camera, and Android "Honeycomb".

LG Optimus 3D Gets Official; Dual-Channel, Dual Cameras, and Dual-Core CPU

We knew everything LG had in store for us today but it's refreshing to see that it's now official. The company announced the LG Optimus 3D which sports an awesome spec sheet. It features a 4.3-inch WVGA 3D display (without glasses), a dual-core TI OMAP4 1GHz CPU, 8GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, 512MB of DDR2 RAM, Bluetooth 3.0 / WiFi b/g/n support, a 5MP AF camera that can record 3D video, a front-facing camera, an HDMI output, and Android 2.2 with the company's custom UI. The worst part about this one is that it's running just Android 2.2 but it's upgradeable to version 2.3 but who knows how long that'll take. Being 3D and all this handset might be one of the most expensive on the market.

LG UNVEILS PREMIUM LINE-UP AT MWC 2011 

Making a Return to the Largest Mobile Event With a Rich Collection of Mobile Devices

           
Barcelona, Feb. 13, 2011 – LG Electronics (LG) returns to Barcelona this year to introduce two new flagship devices at Mobile World Congress: the LG Optimus 3D, a stunning super-smartphone with unparalleled 3D performance, and the LG Optimus Pad, a true Android tablet optimized with Honeycomb OS designed to offer the full viewing experience of a tablet while still being easy to hold with one hand. 

“I`m confident that this year, LG will emerge as a leader in the next generation of smartphone and tablet devices,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, president and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “What you see here today is just the beginning -- we will continue to innovate with products that address consumer needs and deliver benefits that live up to our `Life`s Good` commitment.” 

Aiming to aggressively take a leadership position in the smartphone market in 2011, LG has been earnestly bolstering its premium smartphone line-up, evident by its strong showing at CES last month. There, the company introduced the world`s first dual-core smartphone (LG Optimus 2X), one of the world`s slimmest and brightest smartphones (LG Optimus Black) and the company`s first phone compatible with 4G LTE networks (LG Revolution(TM)). LG products debuting at MWC 2011 build upon this spirit of innovation. Key devices include: 

LG Optimus 3D 
The LG Optimus 3D packs exceptional features with performance in mind, including an advanced dual-core, dual-channel and dual-memory architecture. Equipped with a 1GHz OMAP4 dual-core processor and four times more video decoders than competing designs, the LG Optimus 3D doubles the graphics performance of its nearest competitor allowing users to enjoy superb performance while web surfing, running applications and enjoying multimedia content. In addition, the LG Optimus 3D provides the world`s first full 3D experience covering the full spectrum from recording to viewing and sharing 3D content. It features a dual-lens camera that enables users to capture any moment in true 3D which can then be viewed immediately on the 4.3-inch WVGA glasses-free display. Multiple connectivity options including HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) and DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) also make it easy for users to transfer their recorded content to other devices. 

LG Optimus Pad 
The LG Optimus Pad sets a new standard for tablets by utilizing an 8.9-inch display in a form factor that`s comfortable to use one-handed. With a 15:9 aspect ratio and Full HD 1080p decoding, the LG Optimus Pad offers users an immersive multimedia environment on a 1280 x 768 WXGA resolution widescreen display. The new device sports Honeycomb, Google`s latest platform optimized for tablet devices with an optimized and intuitive PC-like interface for running tablet software. LG`s tablet runs on a 1GHz NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core processor for unmatched performance and power management. In addition, the LG Optimus Pad is the world`s first tablet with a built-in 3D camera, enabling users to capture vivid image and video content to be viewed on a high definition 3D TV or shared on the web via YouTube 3D. 

LG Optimus 2X 
The world`s first smartphone with a dual-core processor, the LG Optimus 2X was developed in partnership with graphics processor powerhouse, NVIDIA. The dual-core Tegra 2 system-on-a-chip found in the LG Optimus 2X runs at a clock speed of 1GHz and boasts low power consumption and high performance for playing video and audio. Not only does the LG Optimus 2X mean more powerful multimedia features, the Tegra 2 processor makes for faster, smoother web browsing and multitasks with virtually no screen lag. The LG Optimus 2X offers 1080p HD video playback and recording with HDMI mirroring that expands content on external displays to Full HD quality. The LG Optimus 2X can connect wirelessly to any DLNA-compatible digital device such as HD TVs for a console-like gaming experience, taking full advantage of the phone‟s HDMI mirroring, accelerometer and gyro sensor. 

LG Optimus Black 
One of the world`s slimmest and lightest Android smartphones, LG Optimus Black is already a hit, having recorded more than two million pre-orders in 20 countries since its introduction at CES. At MWC, a range of special-edition LG Optimus Black handsets will be unveiled featuring designs courtesy of the Keith Haring Foundation. Besides its incredibly slim body, the LG Optimus Black features a 4-inch NOVA display for optimal brightness and readability under any lighting conditions. The crystal-clear display also provides a more natural web browsing experience by displaying truer whites while simultaneously cutting energy consumption by 50 percent compared to conventional LCDs. In addition, the LG Optimus Black includes a collection of smart features designed to improve the user experience, such as Gesture UI, Wi-Fi Direct and a 2MP front-facing camera.

Samsung Galaxy S II and Tab II To Be At MWC; Also Working On 4-Inch 3D Display and Cloud-Based Gaming Over LTE

Engadget has just picked up some big information regarding the future of Samsung. Of course, at MWC, they've confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy S II and the Galaxy Tab II will be at their event. First up is the photo of the Galaxy S II (above), which looks a whole lot like the Infuse 4G smartphone that they announced at CES. This one will feature a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED+ WVGA display, a dual-core 1GHz Exynos CPU, NFC / WiFi a/b/g/n / Bluetooth 3.0 support, HSPA+ connectivity, and Android 2.3 with the Touchwiz UI. The thickness for this device is said to be just 8.49mm but at the fattest part it'll be 9.9mm and that'll probably be because the camera will stick out. Click on through for more information!

The website has also mentioned that the Galaxy Tab II will make an appearance. Specs for this one are said to be a 10.1-inch display with a 1,280 x 800 resolution, a 1GHz CPU (probably the Exynos / Tegra 2), an 8MP camera with 1080p HD video recording, possibly 16GB / 32GB / 64GB internal storage, and Android "Honeycomb". Thankfully, this tablet will be a Google Experience Device and that means it'll actually be running the stock Android 3.0 UI which is amazing.

Fast forwarding to the future, Samsung is currently working on a 4-inch WVGA 3D display which could be to battle the LG Optimus 3D. Apparently though, Samsung is also working on using your phone as an Internet TV receiver and even a cloud-based gaming device over a 4G (LTE) connection. Sounds pretty sweet; I wonder if they'll tease it at their MWC event.


Update: PocketNow has just scooped up a photo (below) of what they believe to be the Samsung Galaxy Tab II. The only way we can confirm this is to wait until Samsung announced the product very, very soon.

Update: Samsung Hub just got the image below which shows the Galaxy S II and the Galaxy Tab II. These are official photos of girls holding them! Yes, girls. How awesome.

LG G-Slate's 3D Power Gets Shown Off On Video -- Gets Pulled Quickly

It looks like 50sElvis on Youtube has just released a 1:20 video showing off the LG G-Slate. It shows off the 3D capabilities of the tablet itself (with the need of glasses), a hint of "Honeycomb", and even shows off the 3D cameras on the back which is pretty awesome stuff. Of course, this tablet headed to T-Mobile USA has the powerful dual-core Tegra 2 chipset but the price is still TBA. Check out the video before it disappears!

Update: The video has been removed by the user, I hope you saw it when you had the chance!

T-Mobile Makes the 8.9-Inch LG G-Slate Official; Packing Tegra 2, 3D Support, and Honeycomb

T-Mobile and LG just couldn't wait until MWC to tell us their great news. They have just officially announced the LG G-Slate which will be running on Android 3.0 "Honeycomb" and has goodies like an 8.9-inch display, a dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 chipset, and an HDMI port which will obviously output Full HD content easily. Other specs include a 1,280 x 720 resolution display, a 3D camera on the back, a 5MP rear-facing camera with 1080p Full HD video recording capabilities, 32GB of internal storage, HSPA+ connectivity. The display itself is also 3D capable but you'll unfortunately have to wear glasses. Hopefully, this one works better than Dell's Streak 7 tablet - it can't get much worse. Price is unknown right now and it's expected to be available this Spring - whenever that is.
