To help kick it off, we’re getting in on the action and giving away a TomTom XL 330S 4.3-Inch Widescreen Portable GPS Navigator. The requirements to with the TomTom are simple: If you live in the US then leave a comment below. It’s just that simple.

The all new FineDrive iQ500 personal navigation system is powered by an ARM11 600MHz CPU with either 4 or 8GB (SD Card) of memory and support for SDHC cards (up to 32GB).

This gadget also offers a 7 inch (800×480) touchscreen display, Windows Embedded CE 6.0, DMB TV Tuner, and a PMP. The device weighs 370grams and measures 186mm x 120mm x 24mm. The FineDrive iQ500 is currently available only in Korea. No word on when or if it will come to the US.

This one from Samsung Korea is targeting mobile Internet users. The SPH-W6450 is dubbed the ‘OZ Double Folder Phone’ since the clamshell can be folded vertically when texting or calling and horizontally when watching DMB TV or using other multimedia functions. Not because it has GPS to help you follow the yellow brick road.

The SPH-W6450 has a 2.8 inch LCD screen, 3 Megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.0, and a dictionary. It’s available in Korea only for about $410.

One of the biggest places that you can save on your power usage in your home or business is by cutting off devices like TVs and PC LCDs that draw power even when they aren’t being used. Dell has announced a new 14-inch LCD that has features for green power savings.

The display is called the G2410 24-inch Wide Green Flat Panel monitor. Typically, 24-inch LCDs have a resolution of 1920 x 1200, but dell cuts the G2410 back to 1920 x 1080, plenty for full 1080p movies and content. However, the gamer out there will be disappointed by the lack of full resolution.

The economy is bad; we have all heard our fill of that. Computer makers, TV makers, and other technology companies are reporting some really bad results in quarterly sales with many firms cutting jobs and missing profit predictions by wide margins. What we haven’t heard much on is the state of the digital camera industry.

I am betting sales of digital cameras are down as well and Pentax has announced a big price cut on one of its flagship DSLR cameras introduced in January 2008 called the K20D. The K20D is a 14.6-megapixel camera with a 2.7-inch LCD offering Live View. Other features of the camera include a dust reduction system and a dust and weather resistant body.

Looks like LG has two new Scarlet sets coming, both with integrated Bluetooth. Pretty girl not included as usual. To start, the LH70 line will consist of two models, a 42 incher that’s 39.7mm thin and a 47 incher that’s 40.9mm thin.

Each will feature a 100,000:1 contrast ratio, 120Hz technology, 2 millisecond response time, a USB port for connecting external media, touch sensitive power button, DivX compatibility and an ambient light sensor to automatically adjust screen brightness to adjust to the room that you are viewing in and conserve energy.

How does that headline grab you? Start saving your money now. According to HD Guru, Honeywell will sell an 82″ 1080p LCD in the US THIS year. Honeywell isn’t exactly a name we associated we the next huge-ass LCD.

They are actually just licensing their name to Taiwan-based Soyo, who will be making this 300-pound behemoth. Some features include 120Hz motion-blur reduction, 178-degree viewing angle, 3 HDMI inputs, and a dynamic contrast ratio of 120,000:1. The model number is MT-HWGWT8218AM.

LG just announced the launch of it’s new LG LH30FD LCD HDTV series. The LCDs will come in three sizes, 47 inch, 42 inch and 32 inches and will feature rich finishes to compliment home interiors.

The interesting thing is that they are being promoted as energy saving devices with up to 70% reduction of power consumption when using the LCD’s unique power saving modes. No other specs yet or the pricing, but they will likely hit the Korean markets first.

Yesterday we took a look at LG’s somewhat familiar Arena KM900 phone, and now more details are available, though LG is still keeping a few things to themselves.

Looks like this one will feature GSM/UMTS/HSDPA connectivity, a high-resolution 3-inch 800×480 touchscreen display and mobile TV. Apparently the phone measures only 11.5mm thick, just a tad slimmer than the iPhone. Folks in Europe may get it as soon as next month from T-Mobile Germany. Stay tuned for more on this one.

The Allio line of converged LCD HDTV-PCs from Silicon Mountain got a new member today as the company unveiled Allio Lite. A 42-inch display model will cost around $1,600, while a 32-inch model retails for around $1,300.

The Allio Lite products are manufactured using the same 42″ 1080p and 32″ 720p displays as the standard Allio models and include the same selection of inputs and outputs as the original. The new models integrate an Intel Atom-based computer and DVD-CD player/writer.

We first told you about Philips’ Ultra-Widescreen Cinema 21:9 TV last month. Well, they got all official with a site launch and a nifty new video. It does away with the usual 16:9 format for a 21:9 one instead, letting you watch movies the way they were meant to be seen.

The TV is 56 inches diagonal and features Ambilight technology around the borders for a more immersive experience. It’s a bit strange at first, but movies will look really awesome on it.

Westinghouse Digital is getting ready to add a new LCD HDTV to is line up in February. It is called the TX-42F450S and it will retail for around $700.

The Westinghouse TX-42F450S is a 42-inch display which offers HD support for 1920 x 1080 resolution, or 1080p. It comes with a built-in ATSC/NTSC/ClearQAM tuner and sports a total of four HDMI connectors.

Last weekend may have been rough on football fans that have spent the last few months feasting on the glut of weekend football games. The last big game for the season will be played next weekend and it’s the big game — the Super Bowl.

The Super Bowl is a big deal to many sports fans and means that each year many football fans go all out on parties to watch the big game. Usually these parties center on lots of food and a big screen TV to watch the action.

I was never really into fingerprint authentication on my devices. The first thing I ever purchased with a fingerprint scanner was my Dell XPS M1330 laptop. I can safely say fingerprint authentication on my laptop sucks. It usually takes three or more swipes to get the reader to accept my fingerprints and I can log in by typing my password faster than by swiping.

Some folks really like the idea of fingerprint authentication though and Fujitsu has announced the first waterproof cell phone to offer fingerprint authentication. Why waterproof you wonder? Well, I know a lady who has dropped not one or two iPhones into the toilet, but three. Yeah that’s a crappy iPhone.
