What with all of the Droid excitement, it’s easy to forget LG’s GW620, LG’s first Android smartphone. And so you won’t forget about it, the LG GW620 now has its own mini-site. The page appears to be a work in progress, but there are two video demos, some stock photos, and the user manual and spec sheet for download.

The GW620 will be a dualband UMTS (900/2100) quadband GSM device, with WiFi and Bluetooth. It has either 2GB or 4GB of internal storage, along with a microSD card slot, and a 5-megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash. The touchscreen is a 3-inch HVGA resistive panel, while the OS is Android 1.5 Cupcake with LG’s own S-Class UI running on top.

The T230H is Acer’s latest addition to its monitor lineup. The T230H features multi-touch capabilities and is a 23-inch widescreen monitor that offers Full HD resolution at 1920 x 1080 pixels, an 80,000:1 contrast ratio, 300 cd/m2 brightness, 2ms response time and a 160/160 degree viewing angle.

This monitor also packs in two 1.5W speakers, along with D-Sub, DVI and HDMI connectors. The Acer T230H should arrive in Europe soon for 349 Euro (or $516).

Some users need a computer for use on the go that is very rugged. Users who are outdoors a lot in rough environments like police, first responders, military, and field service reps can’t use any old computer without it having a short life span.

Dell has unveiled what it claims to the smallest 12.1-inch rugged convertible tablet PC with multi-touch technology. The machine is called the Latitude XT2 XFR and is 1.5-inches thick and designed to meet MIL-801G requirements. The convertible tablet has compression sealed and rugged I/O doors.

If you’re in the market for a new all-in-one PC you certainly have options. But if you want one that’s affordable, you may want to check out HP’s latest Pavilion MS214.

This machine is priced at $585 and boasts an 18.5-inch widescreen LCD display, an AMD Athlon X2 3250e 1.5GHz Dual-core processor, an ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics card, 2GB RAM, a 320GB hard drive, built-in webcam, a DVD burner, a 6-in-1 card reader, WiFi and Windows 7 64-bit as an OS.

Lately many all-in-ones have featured multitouch monitors. Well here’s a multitouch 21.5 inch monitor from Dell, the SX2210T, without the all-in-one PC included.

This monitor hasn’t yet been officially announced, but we can guess that it’s IR-based. Other than that, specs are what you would expect from your typical monitor, with 1920×1080 resolution, 1000:1 contrast and 2ms response time. You also get HDMI/DVI-in and a webcam/mic. We like. Nothing on pricing and no release date yet.

Not that it’s a surprise, Apple has unveiled some new iMacs. The new models feature 21.5-inch and 27-inch 16:9 displays along with all-aluminum enclosures. The new widescreen IPS panels are LED-backlit and provide 178-degree viewing angles.

The 21.5-inch iMac sports a 1,920 x 1,080 resolution, while the 27-inch version leaves that in the dust with 2,560 x 1,440. Ports are the same as the previous model, but they’ve added an SD card slot and video-in on the 27-incher. The wireless keyboard is now standard along with the new Magic Mouse.

Green Power has a new sliding speaker for your iPod. Looks like it actually adds some class to the iPod nano and iPod touch, neither of which have built-in speakers. Think of it as a weak but portable dock, with twin 1.5W speakers.

The device can be charged via a miniUSB port. A full charge should last up to 12 hours for non-stop audio. Comes in your choice of a crystal hard case or half-mirror design. There are also other colors available.

So where’s all that USB 3.0 gear at? Well, at least Buffalo has something to offer. The HD-HU3 series of USB 3.0 hard disks will be the “world’s first” to ship. Buffalo will make NEC’s roughly $60 IFC-PCIE2U3 2-port PCI Expressx1 host controller available with its hard drives when they ship this month in Japan.

The 1TB and 1.5TB drives will cost about $225 and about $284. A 2TB disk is on the way later for about $523. Awesome. Now you have something to use those 3.0 cables with.

ioSafe, a technology producer of disaster proof storage hardware, launched the ioSafe Solo in January and this week we took the opportunity to test one out to see how well it would hold up. The ioSafe Solo is a rugged external drive designed to keep your stuff safe in the event of a disaster such as a fire, flood or the building literally falling around it.

The ioSafe is not shockproof however and is not designed to be dropped from great distances or thrown around. It is however built to withstand intense heat (up to 1550 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes), complete submersion (up to 10 feet for 3 days!) and is encased in a rugged enclosure making it like the Sherman tank of external drives.

External storage solutions have lots of uses in today’s home. With the huge amounts of digital content the average consumer uses today, we need a place to back that data up. Western Digital has announced a new My Book Studio external hard drive that has an e-label display built-in.

The cool part about the display is that it can show the volume label and how much space is left on the drive even when the drive is not plugged in. The device is designed for Mac users and has FireWire 800 interface and 256-bit hardware encryption.

Check out this totally funkadelic PC case mod that glows like a toxic night-lite. This one comes from modder JJ-Sky5000 and was created for a Coolermaster contest. The Project ‘Cool’ Boombox PC Case Mod. Cool doesn’t even begin to describe it.

Obviously the mod uses an old boombox from 1990s to great effect. I see some groovin’ dude carrying this thing on his shoulder, moving to the music as he strolls down post-apocalyptic streets in search of nothing more than good times.

Sumajin is offering a brand new Ink case for the fifth-generation iPod nano. The case is constructed of 1.5mm-thick high quality silicone and so will protect your Nano 5G from scratches. The Ink case will give you open access to all ports, controls, and the all important camera. So everything is accessible.

The Ink case is available in a whole bunch of colors and retails for $15 each. They don’t destroy the sexiness of your Nano all that much compared to some other cases.

Philips has introduced its latest addition to its LCD monitor line with the Brilliance 225P1ES. This 22 inch widescreen monitor includes the PowerSensor feature which detects when the user is not in front of the screen and lowers the contrast and brightness until the user returns.

According to Philips, while in power-savings mode, the LCD’s consumption will drop by 70%. Some other features include a native resolution of 1680 x 1050 pixels, a 5ms response time, 250 cd/m2 brightness, 1000:1 contrast ratio, built-in two 1.5W speakers, plus D-Sub, DVI and USB connectors.

Hyundai has unveiled two new Full HD Monitors, expanding their lineup with the V226Wa and the V236Wd. Both of these widescreen monitors boast a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, a 5ms response time, 300 cd/m2 brightness and 20,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio.

The V226Wa comes with 1W speakers and a D-Sub connector only, while the V236Wd has 1.5W speakers along with D-Sub and DVI ports.

Today Seagate updated its Barracuda line with an industry first. The 2TB Barracuda XT drive uses a 6Gbps SATA interface and has twice as much theoretical bandwidth as existing SATA II drives. It gives the disk up to 600MBps in burst transfers. When it comes to actual speed, the drive is still pretty fast with a 140MBps sustained transfer rate and Seagate’s 64MB of onboard cache.

The Barracuda XT will support SATA II and 1.5Gbps SATA systems and should still reach its sustained speed on those models.
