Posted in: att, availability, carrier, launch, LG, mobilepostcross, phone, price, release, smartphone, Today's Chili
Following a series of delays and setbacks, it looks like the Thrill 4G will indeed be coming to AT&T on September 4th. The carrier confirmed the date late last night, in a tweet promising that LG’s glasses-free 3D handset will make our world “come alive.” Back in July, AT&T confirmed that the US version of the Optimus 3D would officially sell for $99, though that could very well vary across retailers. Hit up the source link to find out more, on AT&T’s product page.

LG unveils S430, S530 Aurora laptops for people who like muted hues

Posted in: availability, bluetooth, CoreI5, LCD, LED, LG, notebook, screen, Today's Chili

LG has added two new stars to its constellation of Aurora laptops, with the LG S430 and LG S530. Both models are powered by an Intel Core i5 processor, with the S430 boasting a 14-inch, 1366 x 768 HD LCD and the S530 rocking a slightly larger, 15.6-inch display, available in either HD or HD+ (1600 x 900) resolution. Both also feature 8GB of DDR3 memory and up to 750GB of HDD space (5400 RPM), along with your standard WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0 and USB 2.0 connectivity. Perhaps most notable, however, is their sleek, metallic veneer and crystalline, scratch-free finish, available in both purple and blue. Pricing remains a mystery, but the pair should be available in Africa, Asia and the Middle East by early next month, before making their way to Europe and the US shortly thereafter. Details galore await you after the break, in the full PR.

Acer unveils TravelMate 8481T laptop for the all-business crowd

Posted in: availability, bluetooth, business, CoreI7, LCD, notebook, price, Today's Chili, usb 3.0, Usb3.0, wifi

Globetrotting financiers have a new companion to slot into their briefcases, now that Acer has taken the wraps off its TravelMate Timeline 8481T notebook. Powered by an Intel Core i5 processor and weighing in at 3.7 pounds, this little guy boasts a 14-inch, 1366 x 768 LCD that’s been engineered to fit within a 13-inch footprint, thanks to a frameless, bezel-trimming design. The latest addition to the TravelMate 8481 family also boasts 4GB of DDR3 memory (or 8GB, if you upgrade) and a 320GB SATA hard drive, along with the usual collection of WiFi, Bluetooth and USB 3.0 capabilities — all packed within a slim, 0.87-inch thick frame. The laptop is expected to start shipping in “early September” for $1,000, but you can find more details in the full PR that’s sitting after the break.

Samsung Hercules, HTC Ruby available from T-Mobile on October 26th?

Posted in: Android, availability, HTC, leak, phone, qualcomm, release, samsung, smartphone, t-mobile, Today's Chili
We knew that the Samsung Hercules and HTC Ruby were both making their way to T-Mobile, and now, it looks like they’ll be doing so in tandem. The folks over at Tmo News have obtained a leaked back to school slideshow (pictured above) that pegs the release date for both devices as October 26th, despite earlier murmurs that the Ruby would be hitting shelves in September. There’s still a lot of mystery surrounding the phones’ specs and peculiarities, though Samsung’s Galaxy S II variant is rumored to pack some pretty impressive horsepower — including, perhaps, a dual-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon APQ8060 processor. We’ll have to wait and see whether it lives up to its expectations and whether this reported release date proves valid, but we’ll let you know as soon as we do.

Apple’s OS X Lion USB sticks now available online, for $69

Posted in: Apple, AppStore, availability, download, Mac, os, price, Today's Chili, usb

After more than a week’s worth of rumors and speculation, Apple has finally released its OS X Lion USB thumb drive, available now at its online store. This little stick offers a physical media alternative to Cupertino’s otherwise App Store-centric distribution model, providing access to OS X Lion for $69. One caveat, however, is that users who download the software via thumb drive won’t be able to re-install it using the recently released Lion Recovery Disk Assistant, but will have to rely upon the USB stick, instead. The other caveat, of course, is price, as just $29 will get you the exact same OS, via the App Store. To grab one for yourself, hit up the source link, below.

Posted in: availability, BlackBerry, money, on sale, OnSale, price, qwerty, RIM, smartphone, snapdragon, Today's Chili, verizon, Verizon Wireless, VerizonWireless, vzw

We’ve already seen Verizon’s BlackBerry Bold 9930 rear its head in a leaked video and now, it looks like it’s finally gone all official on us. The slim, QWERTY-equipped handset has just popped up on Verizon’s site, where users can now order one for $250 on a two-year contract, or $510 sans contract. Its specs, meanwhile, coincide with what we’ve already heard, including that 2.8-inch, 640×480 VGA touchscreen, 1.2GHz Snapdragon processor and .41-inch thickness. The 9930 also comes equipped with BlackBerry 7 OS, bringing voice-activated search and speedy browsing capabilities to the palm of your hand. No word yet on when the phone will arrive in actual stores, though rumor has it that August 25th could be the big day. For more details and ordering information, check out the source link, below.

HDI 3D to ship new line of 3D projectors next year, we mortgage our homes

Posted in: availability, launch, price, shipping, Today's Chili
We were pretty impressed when we got the chance to gaze at HDI 3D’s silky smooth, 43-inch 3D LCD last year, which is why our eyes widened when the company announced that it’s begun producing a new line of 3D projectors, slated for release as early as 2012. First up in the awkwardly named Laser-Driven 2D/3D Switchable Dynamic Video Projector series is the LSS Pro 1 (pictured above) — a tank that’s powered by as many as two Laser-Drive Engines and capable of displaying both 2D and 3D images on HDI’s 300 inch Laser Silver Screen. A full 100 of the systems will be available on February 14th as part of a pre-production run, but they certainly won’t be cheap, with prices ranging from $55,000 to $85,000. As many as five similar models are expected to begin shipping by the end of next year, including the Industrial, Origami and Polygon. Beam past the break for more details in the press release, or check out our gallery to see the full lineup.

Pandigital unveils Nova, Planet and Star Android tablets, ‘flagship’ device coming next month

Posted in: 7-inch, Android, app, availability, barnes and noble, BarnesAndNoble, froyo, gingerbread, honeycomb, price, tablet, Today's Chili, wifi

It’s shaping up to be a busy month for Pandigital. Two days after we spotted the Nova at Best Buy, the astronomically-inclined company has decided to officially unveil the Android tablet alongside the Planet and Star, with a fourth “flagship” device slated for release in September. Each of the three slates is powered by an A9 Cortex processor, and boasts a seven-inch touchscreen display (800×600 resolution on the Planet and Nova and 800×480 on the Star, pictured above). As far as storage goes, both the Planet and the Star offer 2GB of onboard memory, with the Nova packing 4GB, and all three offer WiFi and HDMI connectivity. The slabs also come preloaded with Barnes & Noble’s eBookstore app and provide access to GetJar’s app download store, rather than the Android Market. Honeycomb enthusiasts, however, should probably look elsewhere, as both the Planet and the Star run Android 2.2 Froyo, while the Nova ships with Gingerbread. But considering their prices, that shortcoming may be easy to overlook. The Planet, available now, will run you $189, as will the Nova, scheduled to ship later this week (though, again, you can also find it on Best Buy, for $170). The Star, meanwhile, will hit stores in mid-August, for a paltry $159. Rocket past the break for some photos of the Nova and Planet, along with more details, in the full press release.
