Hasta La Gadget!

Folks over in the US of A have been utilizing Gogo’s up-in-the-air wireless amenities for quite some time now, which isn’t something we can say about our dear neighbors from The Great White North — unless, of course, you count the company’s current Aircell’s Gogo Biz service. That said, Gogo’s finally received the go-ahead to bring its in-flight WiFi goods to both commercial and business planes that are traveling within Canada and cross-border to the States, allowing the internet provider to deliver “seamless service” all-around. According to Gogo, the network will be fully operational by the end of next year, with the company assuring fellow Canadians that they, too, can “soon experience the same technology that has a proven track record of performance and reliability in the U.S.” Hit the PR below to delve into the formal nitty-gritty.

This afternoon it would appear that not only has the name “iPad mini” been tipped once again, a couple new iPods have been updated as well. According to Asian sources speaking with Macotakara, the new iPad will have a 7.85-inch display and will indeed be called the “iPad mini.” A couple new iPods will be popping up at the same event as this iPad mini, each of them with the ability to connect to wireless internet so that they might connect with iTunes in the Cloud.

This next Apple event has been tipped as taking place in mid-October, this far enough away from the supposed September iPhone 5 event that it’ll make full use of the “second wave” effect. One wave of iPhone action, several weeks pass, and the fun starts all over again with so much iTunes in the Cloud action that you’ll be unable to contain your wallets contents at all whatsoever! This October event has taken place in the past at right around the same time, here coming in 2012 with a smaller size and price to make it a perfect iTunes media machine.

The iPod touch has had wi-fi connectivity for a while now, but a new one may be coming at this event with a new micro dock – the same 16-pin dock connection that the iPhone 5 has been tipped to have. There may well be a new iPod nano as well, here coming with its first connection to the web via its own wi-fi ability. With this, users will be able to use iTunes in the Cloud with great success.

Have a peek at the timeline below to see what else may be popping up in the next few months from Apple. We’re expecting a whole new mobile range, with the standard iPad also getting a small update. This update will also include the new mini dock connector.

LG has revealed its latest smart TV, the LG TM2792 Personal TV, a kitchen and bedroom scale set that doesn’t stint on display performance or media streaming abilities. Measuring in at 27-inches, the Full HD TV uses an LED IPS panel for better quality video and 250 nits brightness, with 3D support and integrated WiFi Direct, WiDi and DLNA for streaming directly from notebooks or other devices.

There’s also an MHL HDMI connection, allowing a phone or tablet to be easily hooked up for showing off whatever photos or videos you might have shot. Other connections include VGA, composite and component, along with SCART, three USB ports – which will support a keyboard and mouse, allowing the TM2792 to be used as a web-surfing interface without your PC turned on – and wired ethernet.

The panel itself is clad in a narrow metal bezel, and LG throws in its Magic Remote for navigating through the on-screen dashboard. That supports video-on-demand, LG Smart World apps and more; the TM2792 can also convert 2D to 3D and includes twin 7W speakers.

No word on pricing for the TM2792, but it will go on sale in September and we’ll find out more at IFA 2012 this coming week.

Oh New Yorkers and their marvelous, no-cost WiFi access points. Only a few days after Google Offers and Boingo happily announced they’d brought gratis wireless connectivity to additional underground locations within the city, The Wall Street Journal is now let it be known it too will be kind enough to gift the NYC crowd with some WiFi hotspots of its own. The nice gesture will bring around 1,300 network units to areas such as SoHo, Greenwich Village, Union Square, Chelsea and, naturally, the renowned Times Square during the month of September — all in hopes of giving “people the opportunity to sample The Wall Street Journal.” Meanwhile, folks in San Francisco can also grab the internet-friendly freebies in a couple of different places, including Nob Hill and Fisherman’s Wharf. And don’t worry, there won’t be any donkeys involved here.
