Mini computers are growing in popularity every day and over the last several months there have been lots of new mini PCs, nettops, and netbooks unveiled. These low cost systems have proven very compelling options for consumers with less to spend during the global economic crunch.

IFA 2009 is in full swing over in Europe and Fujutsu has unveiled its latest Mini PC called the Esprimo Q1500. The little mini PC is packed inside a small case that has a volume of 1.4 liters and still offers HDMI out and optional Blu-ray. The machine is square and is about the size of a CD case according to Fujitsu.

Bluetooth headsets are common today, though a recent study claimed that their popularity was declining in the U.S. while growing slightly in Europe. Plantronics is one of the more popular names in Bluetooth headsets and its latest offering is the Discovery 975.

The 975 uses AudioIQ2 DSP technology that features two mics to capture the user’s voice while cancelling out background noise. There are no special buttons to press to activate the tech; it works automatically when the user is talking.

Now here’s an attractive design from a company that knows how to do sexy when it wants to. LG’s LU7000 TV is perfect for those with limited space. Hell, it’s just plain nice to look at. The LU7000 series comes in sizes from 19″ to 22″, and features an integrated DVD player. That means you’ll be saving some space on your shelf, not to mention you’ll have less wires.

It also sports built-in speakers, a few HDMI ports, one USB 2.0 port and Freeview inside. The TV is compatible with most file formats, so you can view JPEGs and listen to music using the USB 2.0 port. We don’t have any pricing, but we can tell you that it will be arriving in the UK this month.

If you love racing, you’ll love the Gresso Grand Monaco USB flash drive. If you can afford it that is. Hopefully you don’t have Formula 1 taste with a go-cart budget as 32GB of storage space will cost you $200 for the Classic model.

The Double Security model will set you back $500. They’re constructed of titanium superalloy and high-tech ceramic. Whether you want the Double Security or Classic designs, both feature carbon inserts for that luxury flair.

Philips just introduced its Wireless HDTV Link at IFA Berlin 2009. It’s another device to help us do away with messy wires, so your home doesn’t look like some tech bird nest constructed with AV wires. It’s an HDMI transmitter/receiver duo that lets you arrange a wide array of A/V components neatly, so that they work together within a 20 meter radius.

The base station has a few HDMI connections, a few component connections and transmits full 1080i and 1080p/30fps HD video. It will arrive in your home soon for €599.99.

Pocket camcorders are all the rage thanks to you silly kids and your youtube videos and vlogs and whatnot. So how does a company attempt to get some of the market share from the likes of the Flip? Well, if you are Medion, you make your mini camcorder rugged so that it’s shock and splash resistant.

That way it should be able to take some abuse if you are filming some really outrageous stunts. Or a kids birthday party. The S47000 features a 2-inch LCD in back and only a few buttons to keep it all simple. It’s ultra light too at only 85g.

Mitsubishi is now the second brand to include Vudu in their HDTVS after LG. Select Mitsubishi Diamond televisions to be exact. The LT-46249 and LT-52249 models feature an Ethernet port that connects to the Internet and the Vudu service. If you want to be wire free, there’s also a WIFI option.

The news makes us wonder who will be next to include Vudu in their sets. Time will tell. Vudu is on a real streak here. It was only back in July when we told you about LG including vudu in their LH50 Netcast HDTVs.

This is a brilliant idea for a mousetrap. Normally you’d set the trap out, come back later to find the corpse stuck to the trap and toss it in the trash or in your neighbors yard. This leads to trouble with your neighbor and if you throw it in your trash can, you now have to take out the trash because that’s just gross.

But with this coffin mousetrap by Sarah Dery, the trap sits in the rat’s final resting place, the coffin. No muss, no fuss. So all you need to do is bury the coffin. In the trash. Or throw it in your neighbors yard. Whatever. That twitchy rat bastich got what he deserved.

LGs New color pop monitors hurt our eyes just looking at them. This pink setup above is sure to attract a hello kitty sticker. The 37-mm slim monitors come in Oreo Black, Jelly Pink,(Looks more like Pepto-Bismol to me) Blueberry Purple, Applemint Green, and Hawaiian Blue.

They ship with a glossy, two-tone frame to rock out the colors even further. They come in medium (18.5-inch, 1366×768 pixels) and large (21.5-inch, 1920×1080) sizes and should ship in the US by September and worldwide after that.

Toshiba just launched three new camcorders. The Camileo S20, H30 and X100 models. All three offer full HD (1920 x 1080p). The Camileo S20 is one of the slimmest HD camcorders in the world at a mere 17mm, while the H30 is all about “functionality with ease of use” and the X100 will get you a a decent 10x optical zoom.

If you’re looking for a budget camcorder, the S20 fits the bill, with specs like a 4x digital zoom, 5-megapixel sensor and 3-inch rotating screen. The H30 sports 10 megapixels, 5x optical zoom and 10x digital. The X100 features a 10-megapixel sensor 10x optical, 10x digital and a 4GB built-in flash memory. Plus, both the H30 and X100 have LCD touchscreen panels.

Here’s an interesting situation involving the PS3s firmware 3.00. After the PS3 firmware 3.0 went live the problems began. One issue that caught our interest is that some controllers apparently get locked out of the console after the update is installed.

After a lot of back and forth on the official PlayStation3 forum, users think that they have nailed the problem. It looks like the problem controllers were knock-offs. Is Sony intentionally blocking the knock-offs on purpose? Or are they just incompatible with firmware 3.0?

Looks like the love affair with HD DVDs is finally and completely over. Toshiba has hammered the final nail in the coffin with the BDX2000 Blu-ray player and thrown their HD DVDs out on the lawn. You can expect the following specs:

BD-Live (Profile 2.0), 1080p/ 24 fps Full HD Video Output, AVCHD Playback, Toshiba REGZA-LINK (HDMI-CEC), Support for enhanced audio formats from Dolby True HD and DTS-HD Master Audio, Bonus View, SD memory card slot and it’s ENERGY STAR Certified.
