Join Gavio’s got a speaker for the iPod Nano called “The Pill”
Some of you might remember when we covered the Kube 2 Player, and how that there is still a market for small MP3 players.
As long as there small MP3 players, there will be a market for small MP3 player speakers. This particular one is known as “The Pill”, and it is from a Singapore company known as Gavio.
There really isn’t much that my Source says about the Pill, other than it is a 5.8 inch speaker system designed for the iPod nano 6th Generation.

LG rolls out new Smart TV features for next year
Phones are not the only things that are smart these days, as you also have Smart TVs – and the South Koreans are at the forefront of things in this department, although Japan is nipping on their heels as well. LG intends to usher in 2012 by unveiling new Smart TV features for next year that will focus on rich content as well as ease of use. Just make a beeline for the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas next month, and you will be able to check out just what LG has in store.
Embedded within the new Cinema 3D Smart TV range for next year, LG intends to offer CINEMA 3D Smart TV owners with the most comprehensive yet easy-to-use home entertainment experience possible, and as the adage goes, “action is louder than words”, which is why there are more than 1,200 apps available (and growing, too). The new Magic Remote would also add more value to the entire Smart TV experience, in addition to a growing number of premium content services.

Kube 2 Player is good for 32GB of music
I think we are now living in an age where buying an MP3 player like the iPod Classic is rather passe. After all, most of us have some sort of music player on our cell phone or other mobile devices.
Still the iPod nano still sells, and it just plays music. If you are in the market for buying something that just plays music, may I suggest the Kube 2?
As you can see, the Kube 2 is a tiny cube (one inch on all sides) with a headphone jack so you can hear your tunes. All music is stored on a microSD card, and they can store up to 32GB of audio.

LG will show 55-inch OLED screen at CES 2012
About five years ago, I went to CES for the first time and saw Sony’s XEL-1 OLED television. It was the first OLED, and although the picture was beautiful, the screen was so…small.
LG has just announced that they will have a 55-inch OLED screen at CES 2012. That is actually the biggest OLED screen, for now. The company has already worked on a super-thin 31-inch model.
The giant-sized screen has a contrast ratio of 100,000:1 and can produce more colors than other displays. It is developed by using Oxide TFT technology. LG has stated that: “The new technology allows light emitting diodes to self-generate light and features a reaction velocity to electric signals over 1000 times faster than liquid crystal”.

Samsung CES 2012 trailer teases possible Android-controlled TVs
Samsung loves to tease us with videos of what’s coming. Some of you might remember that video of the transparent tablet, but the video after the jump has technology that Samsung actually will produce. (Not that they aren’t ever going to produce a transparent tablet, but I don’t see that invisible marvel coming anytime in 2012.)
As you can see, the video is pretty vague as far as what is actually coming to CES from the electronics giant, but it would appear that it is “what’s next”. From what it looks like, it could be an Android controlled TV that uses a smartphone or a tablet.

LG to unveil IPS monitor range at CES 2012
LG Electronics, or LG for short, has stepped forward to announce that they will be introducing their 2012 IPS monitor line-up at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas next January. LG’s booth has always been very impressive, with plenty of super slim TVs lining up the walls, visually enticing anyone who walks by in the previous years when I attended CES. Well, I do expect to see even more impressive scenes in a couple of weeks’ time, where LG’s new IPS monitors are said to deliver consumers with the most optimal 3D viewing solution.
If you are in the market for an immersive 3D viewing experience at higher resolutions from wider viewing angles, then I am quite sure that LG executives and salespeople would swarm all over you, as you mull over whether to bring home the DM92, DM82 or DM52 series. Oh yeah, not to forget, there is also the issue of the D43 3D monitor for you to consider.

Quneo Music Software/Hardware Pad Controller
What do an aspiring DJ, VJ, DIY hacker and electronic musicians have in common? Well, assuming this Kickstarter project actually takes off in a big way, then there you have the answer – the Quneo Music Software/Hardware Pad Controller. Keith McMillen Instruments (KMI) recently announced that the QuNeo 3D Multi-Touch Controller will soon be the leading light for next generation music software and hardware controllers.
What makes the Quneo so special? Well, “3D Multi-Touch” technology translates to it being able to cater for pressure, velocity and location, swipes and pinching support. Pronounced kyoo-ne-oh, this controller will cover all the functionality of the rest, while introducing additional power of extra dimensions. The Quneo will bring to the table a cool 27 pads, sliders and rotary sensors with 3D Multi-Touch recognition for pressure, velocity, and location sensitivity, letting musicians play electronic sounds and alter their timbre (quality, brightness and volume) through the application of pressure. I suppose this would take some practice and getting used to before you know just the right amount of pressure to apply.
