Both frames have an internal 2GB of memory and the HD800 has an 8 inch display with a resolution of 800 x 480 and the HD1000 has a resolution of 1026 x 600 with a 10.1-inch screen. These new Frames also have integrated speakers and are designed to also playback audio files supporting MP3, AAC, and Linear PCM.

At HP’s webOS event today, the first webOS tablet called TouchPad was introduced. The TouchPad features a Qualcomm Snapdragon dual-core 1.2GHz processor, a 9.7″ touchscreen (1024 x 768), 16 or 32GB of storage, Flash support, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, internal stereo speakers, Beats Audio, a 1.3 megapixel front facing camera, and HP Touchstone support.

That is one nice feature set. The iPad 2, PlayBook and Xoom just got some serious competition. Nothing on price yet, but it will be available this summer.

These look more like hovering robot eyes than planets, but Elipson’s Planet L Speakers have some nice specs. They use coaxial 2-way design with a 25mm soft dome tweeter and a 165mm paper-cone mid/woofer. Plus they have a great modern and space age look.

They feature a frequency response of 48Hz to 20,000Hz with 90dB sensitivity and 6-ohm impedance. Each weighs a hefty 15.4 pounds so mount them securely so they don’t fall on your head. They will cost you about $965 for a pair.

Samsung has unveiled their new 13.3-inch 9 Series laptop, which is said to be the “thinnest and lightest 13-inch notebook available.” The duralumin machine weighs just 2.89 pounds and measures .68 inches thick. The 13-inch MacBook Air, it’s competitor, measures 0.11 to 0.68 inches thick and weighs 2.9 pounds.

Samsung has jammed some power into that thin build. There’s no optical drive, but it does have Ethernet, HDMI, and USB ports and a headphone jack. Inside you’ll find a brand new Core i5 2537M processor, 128GB SSD, and 4GB of RAM.

Smartphones are smart, but not very loud. Until now that is. SRS Labs has announced a whole new audio solution for smartphones that have built-in stereo speakers called SRS WideSurround. It will boost a handsets multimedia capability and provide a wider more detailed perspective for audio.

They say that it will be “an expansive personal surround field so, no matter if a user is holding the device in their hand or propping it up on a table or desk, the overall audio experience is notably more compelling, truly immersive and remarkably more engaging than traditional stereo.” So who is first to get it? Verizon users will be the first, with the new Samsung Continuum Galaxy S that’s available with the service for about $199.99 (on contract).

Need to cool things down with your notebook? Well, Logitech has just announced the Speaker Lapdesk N550. It’s a notebook cooler pad designed for machines with displays of 14.1-inches or smaller. It will keep the temperature of your notebook on the cool side and features integrated stereo speakers on either side of the notebook for rich, full stereo sound.

The angled base also raises your laptop display to a comfortable viewing position. You just plug it into the notebook’s USB port and you are ready.

The Green-House GHV-DF7D 7-inch digital picture frame makes itself stand out in a variety of colors. It delivers a maximum resolution of 800 x 480 pixels with a contrast ratio of 500:1 and a brightness level of 200cd/m2.

This DPF is compatible with most multimedia file formats like JPEG, MP3, WMA and, MPEG. You can also add more storage space if you need it via the memory card slot. Other specs include built-in stereo speakers, and calendar and clock functions.

Apparently Funko is now in the headphone business. Their Funko-Tronics division hasn’t wasted any time, as they have just launched 5 different pairs of headphones, designed after Star Wars characters. You have Darth Vader, a Clone Trooper, a Stormtrooper, Boba Fett, and the Rebel Alliance.

It sucks laying out more money for iPhone accessories. When is enough enough? All of that money adds up. So how do you make a super cheap case and save some dough? Well, Oliver Nelson has used a rubber wristband to act as a bumper on his phone.

They are apparently an almost perfect fit when stretched around the 4′s antennae. A 1.125-inch long by 0.125-inch wide incision (into the unstretched band) is necessary to keep the 30-pin port and speakers open, but otherwise it’s pretty easy and dirt cheap too.

The new VIA VIPRO range of fanless touch screen panel PCs look pretty bulky and not very sexy at all, but come equipped with a 6.5″ VIA VIPRO VP7806, and if that’s too small, there’s the 15″ VIA VIPRO VP7815.

These are made using the flexible and modular Em-ITX form factor, and could be the perfect solution for the latest HMI applications. Both VIA VIPRO devices are fan-less and pretty tough, with IP65 compliant LED backlit panels which are capable of working in extreme temperatures from -200C to 600C.

If you like your speakers rugged and inside an ammo box, then look what we have here. Perfect for blasting tunes on the battlefield or anywhere else where people are trying to kill you. The Thodio A-Box Speaker might be crammed inside a retro ammo box, but it’s creator swears that it’s all high quality.

It has a 6mm trespa on the inside with vibration dampening material, to help out the quality of sound and it’s durable enough for outside use of course. It will turn Apocalypse Now into Apocalypse wow, while your Platoon is jamming the night away.

Planex has announced a new combo gadget. The Planex MZK-WDPR. It’s an all-in-one wireless router and a 3.5-inch digital photo frame with a resolution of 320 x 240. The wireless router half of this gadget supports WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, while the digital photo frame is compatible with most multimedia formats like MP3, WMA, JPEG, BMP, MPEG-1/4, and MPEG-4 AVC/H.264.

There’s also 2GB of internal memory, two 1.5W speakers, a Youtube Function, an FM tuner, FrameChannel services and two USB 2.0 ports in this black egg. The Planex MZK-WDPR is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7 and Mac OS X.

LG has announced a new home theater system. The LG HB954SP Blu-ray HCS offers Full HD 1080p video and 5.1 surround, with 1,000W of audio tuned by audio-wizard Mr Mark Levinson. It features a slide-out dock in front for your iPod or iPhone, and you can control it from the HB954SP’s own remote.

The system can also upscale standard definition DVDs up to 1080p. The ethernet connection connects it to the internet for streaming YouTube and BD Live content. You’ll also get two HDMI inputs and a USB port. If you haven’t jumped onto the HTIB bandwagon, this might entice you with it’s touch of blue and globular speakers.

LaCie’s Sound2 USB speakers almost look too good. What are they hiding? Are they overcompensating for something? Hmmm. You don’t usually think LaCie when you think audio, but these look so nice we are willing to believe that they must sound good too. We hope.

The Sound2 laptop speakers are USB-powered, with the audio coming from Cabasse, a French audio company. They were designed by Neil Poulton and will cost you $100. Like Fox Mulder, we “want to believe” that these beauties sound good at that price.

Sony just released its latest Walkman, the S540, in the US. The S540 features 2.4″ of viewing real estate and a pair of stereo speakers, so you can listen to your songs without headphones. An integrated microphone lets you record voice notes to yourself and you also get a built-in FM radio.

Battery life is about 42 hours with music playback on headphones, while video playback is 6.5 hours. It supports all of the popular audio file formats like AAC, MP3 and WMA. Video file formats include H.264, MPEG-4 and WMV.
