The new Asus My Cinema-EHD3-100/NAQ/FM/AV/MCE RC PCI-express Dual TV card is designed for users who want to watch and record both digital (ATSC/QAM) and analog (NTSC) TV channels at the same time. The device is embedded with an MPEG2 hardware encoder that dramatically reduces CPU loading while guaranteeing high quality video.

Using the PCI Express x1 interface, it will get transmission speeds of up to 500MB/s(almost 3 times faster than that of a conventional PCI bus which runs at 133MB/s). This will give you smooth pictures regardless of the broadcast content. The Asus My Cinema-EHD3-100/NAQ/FM/AV/MCE RC will also let you keep a constant eye on what’s going on on TV while engaged in other PC-based activities. Dubbed ASUS GadgeTV, this widget adds a small window on the Windows Vista sidebar, allowing users to watch record and take snapshots of live TV from their sidebars.

Samsung has launched the Alias 2, a dual-flip handset aka the U750, on Verizon with an e-ink display. It displays a different keyboard depending on which way you open the dual-flip, whether you’re making a call or sending an SMS. Flipping it open in portrait will reveal a standard numeric keypad, while opening it the other way will result in full Qwerty.

Some other specs include a 2.6-inch QVGA screen, 2-megapixel camera, and memory card expansion through microSD card alongside Bluetooth, video camera capability and a music player.

Elecom of Japan has just introduced a few USB switches that will come with a 2- and 7-port USB hub. It allows you to share anywhere from two to seven USB-connected devices over a couple of computers without installing a private network.

Perfect if you and your wife want to share or for room mate situations, though you most likely would still want to set up a private network as their are more benefits. It’s a nice option to have though.

Archos launched a new accessory for their popular Archos 5, which will transform the PMP into a fully functional TV. The ‘Snap-on TV’ module doesn’t do much for the devices looks, but features dual tuners, which means you will be able to watch one program while recording another.

You can also hook it up to digital terrestrial TV tuners and even an external antenna. If your desire is to watch LOST on a small screen, please stop denying yourself and get one. They are available now from Archos for about $100.

iLuv is on a roll. Seems like every time you turn around, they have a new alarm clock of some kind, but they’ve been saving the best for CES. Today they announced the iMM183 Hi-Fi Dual Dock Alarm Clock with Weather Band Radio.

It will charge twin iPods and iPhone 3Gs while giving you NOAA emergency alerts, letting you know if Tornadoes or other natural disasters are on the way, so you can run to safety. After grabbing your charged iPhone of course. It also sports an auxiliary input for non-Apple devices.

Here’s a phone with a cool cobra look. The Cool 920 dual SIM phone features a display that resembles one of the other LG handsets with the flip display, giving you a horizontal point of view, so you don’t have to turn the phone itself. Plus, it can carry two SIM cards at the same time, although I’m not sure how you would have two conversations at once.

Some other features include Bluetooth connectivity, 2 megapixel camera, GPRS and WAP support, a microSD memory card slot as well as audio and video file format support. It has looks, at least.

That’s right, it’s 2008 and Sony is releasing a tape deck. Wtf you say? Me too. I’m not sure what they are thinking here, but I’m betting an 8-Track deck is around the corner. This dual tape recorder has a nice modern look, at least. It also features a CD player and a FM/AM Radio Tuner. It comes in two shades of gray and is available only in Japan for around $145.

There must be a surplus of tapes in Japan that I had not heard of. Either that or they just collectively discovered the magic of the garage sale cassette. Seriously, alot of people still use tapes. Mostly because they are cheap. The tapes, not the people. OK, them too. Still, I would be curious to find out how many of these units Sony is able to move.

As if by magic, this Dual Pizza Oven can take your dinner from a pile of dough with cheese and toppings to a steaming pizza in 90 seconds. That’s cooking two 12-inch pizzas simultaneously, not just one. Obviously frozen pizzas would take a bit longer, but still this is awesome news. The microwave is fast, but microwave pizza is terrible.

This oven combines 1440-watt coil heating elements with ceramic pizza stones. This distributes the heat evenly. The only thing we are unsure of is how it would fare with frozen pizza. That’s the only way this is a time saver, because if you’re making your own fresh pizza from scratch, you are investing way too much in the process and might as well open a Pizza shop. If you are the kind to pay $249.95 for a dual pizza oven, that may not be a bad idea.
