Join Samsung preps new Audio Dock for CES 2012
Samsung knows that CES is a big show to be at each year, and this year, they do not intend to disappoint, either. In fact, the South Korean consumer electronics giant intends to roll out a new range of audio dock systems which will boast of breakthrough innovation that delivers rich sound qualities that are comparable to premium audio systems. These audio dock systems will also be easy on the eyes – pleasing, even, as they have been stylishly designed in order to look right in place regardless of what your home’s internal decoration and set up looks like.
Samsung’s Audio Dock with Vacuum Tube Amplifier is touted to be the world’s first docking system which will incorporate Samsung’s proprietary hybrid vacuum tube amplifier technology, while being able to play nice with the wide range of Galaxy S and iOS-powered devices through the use of its dock, and you also have the option to go wireless with the DA-E750 model. More to come right after the jump.

China rolls out first 3D TV channel
Hmmm, being in a communist country like China seems to be a whole lot more fun than spending winter at a place known as Hell on Earth, otherwise called North Korea. Well, that is considering the fact that capitalism has already crept into China, and its bustling cities like Shanghai and Beijing have certainly attracted a whole lot of expatriates, while tourism and easy access to the country have also made China the second largest economy in the world (with its economic engine running mainly on cheap labor and highly affordable exported goods, of course). Add a 3D TV channel to the list of China’s attractions while you’re at it, too.

ZVOX expands Z-Base sound bar range
ZVOX has taken a look at their Z-Base sound bar range, and decided that the time is ripe to expand this particular family. After all, sound matters if you were to marry it with explosive action on the big screen, giving you a glimpse of what you can experience at the cinema. I am not saying that it is uncool to watch movies at home – I’m all for it, since you need not deal with any incoming phone calls without silent mode being turned on, and you can always make your way to the loo by pausing the movie so that you do not miss a single bit.
Having said that, you might be interested with what ZVOX has done with their latest Z-Base sound bar family, introducing high performance surround sound systems which are comfortably placed under the TV set without the need for external speakers or a subwoofer.

iLaunch Thunder loves your iPhone
Feel like you are the President of the US with the £79.99 iLaunch Thunder – imagine you hold the “nuclear football” in your hands, and you have already been sent all the relevant launch codes to send a reply to North Korea’s recent nuclear attack on one of your country’s military bases – all it takes is a single press of a button, and a retaliatory missile is sent all the way back to North Asia. Of course, this is nowhere near as serious, and does not endanger a single human life, but it might help you experience a feeling of power albeit momentarily.
No longer do you need to throw bits of paper or rubber at your colleagues to irritate them (or paying tit for tat), but all you need to do is adjust where this sleek missile launcher is supposed to point at, where its air-powered pistons will then get to work, shooting safe, spongy projectiles up to 8 meters away. Of course, the iPhone is not the only device that enables control of the iLaunch Thunder, as the iPod Touch and iPad will get the job done as well. Bluetooth connectivity is what delivers the commands over to the iLaunch Thunder, and sporting a rotating angle of 270 degrees with the ability to tilt up or down through 45 degrees, you have quite the weapon on your desk.
LG 3D Ultra Definition TV is world’s largest
Having a (positive) superlative describing your product is definitely something that most, if not all, hardware manufacturers would love to experience. LG Electronics steps up to the plate, full of confidence, that their 3D Ultra Definition (UD) TV is the largest in the world. Of course, you can tell by the name alone that Ultra Definition is far better than High Definition, so I cannot wait to see just what kind of images my eyes will be greeted with at CES 2012 that is happening in less than a fortnight’s time in Las Vegas.
Basically, this unique display will debut at CES 2012 next year, where it will sport 84″ of viewing goodness, while ensuring it breaks new ground where immersive 3D home entertainment is concerned. To put it in the words of Havis Kwon, President and CEO of LG Electronics Home Entertainment Company, “LG is pushing the limits of home entertainment innovation with this 3D UD TV. We are bringing together all our Smart TV and 3D knowledge in the 3D UD TV in order to demonstrate to the CES audience that LG is committed to being the world’s leading brand for immersive home entertainment in 2012 and beyond.”

US Army tests 1.8-gigapixel camera helicopter drone
All right, the Iranians might have shot down one of those drones from the US, but we are quite sure the US Army is already light years ahead in terms of technology as well as next generation drones. In fact, the US Army recently tested a helicopter drone that would make for the perfect spy machine – especially when it sports a 1.8-gigapixel camera on it. This drone aircraft is capable of hovering around, and will not require a runway in order to take-off or land, now how about that?
This particular technology employed promised “an unprecedented capability to track and monitor activity on the ground”, where another three of these sensor-equipped drones are on track to see action in Afghanistan in either May or June next year. While Boeing was first off the blocks in building these drones, other firms are still able to throw in their bid to manufacture the rest. It will take a year of deployment in order to learn all that they can about the drone, its capabilities and limitations, resulting in a record compilation that will pave the way for a superior model down the road.
