- Filed under: Displays, HDTV Good news for the pixel-starved: Boy Genius got a hold of a Sony's 2008 BRAVIA roadmap, which includes word of new XBR6, XBR7 and XBR8 LCD displays. We caught wind of the new XBR6 line at CES, along with the KDL-40Z4100 and the KDL-46Z4100, but apparently things are going to get much more interesting in August when the KDL-46XBR8 drops. New features include "Triluminos" RGB LED backlight, Advanced Contrast Enhancer PRO and BRAVIA Engine 2 PRO 1080p video processor. |

- The first time we talked about a MobiBLU Cube player was almost three years ago, so you probably don’t remember that. But to refresh your memory, I’ll just say it was one of the smallest MP3 players when the first version was released in 2005. Now that we are in 2008, MobiBLU decided to update the [... |

- Gadgets made for the Apple player are always popping up, that is why Coolest Gadgets has over 250 posts on the iPod Gadgets category, right? This special light is just another item on that big list, but at least it is original and has useful functions. Priced at $100, the Entertainment Light is also known as E-light and can be used indoors, or outdoors. If you pick the outside, consider using it with an umbrella pole, but if chose the inside (of your house) just use it ?normally?. |

- We covered SPOT back in November last year, and here's what the folks at Gearlog have to say about it. During my time with the SPOT, I used it periodically from my office and on my commute to work to see how quickly it would send a message with my exact position. In each case the SPOT was accurate enough that it would be easy to find me, and the pointer on the Google map was only a few meters from my actual location. The device is reliable enough that the service has been endorsed by "Survivorman" Les Stroud of Discovery Channel fame, who regularly strands himself in deserted locations with only his cameras and his wits to guide him to safety. The SPOT device retails for $169. |

- This is THE Millennium Falcon toy that never arrived when every 9-yo kid wanted it in 1977: the 2.5-foot Hasbro's Star Wars Legacy Collection Millennium Falcon, worthy of the most mind-blowing SW collections. It's probably the most realistic Falcon toy you can buy this side of an actual prop, with LEDs everywhere, sound, movable parts, and absolutely every detail imaginable except real engines. And when I say every detail, I mean every single detail, as you will see in the full hi-res gallery after the jump. |
