Chocolate Swiss Army Knife, For When Giving Up Is the Best Tool for the Job
It won't clip your toenails. It won't skin a rabbit. It won't slice rope, repair a canoe or tweeze out a splinter, and it's not going to do a damn thing to get that fallen boulder off your chest. But when the chips are down and all hope is lost, a hazelnut chocolate bar isn't the worst multi-function tool to have at arm's reach—though tequila might be our first choice.

LG Chocolate 3 Gets Release Date Moved up
Last week we told you that the upcoming LG Chocolate 3 was going to be available July 14th: Verizon have just come up with the news that it'll be available a day earlier, July 13. They're pretty proud of the candybar phone's Verizon Rhapsody interlink, and the "all-in-one" nature of the gizmo as a PMP, cellphone, GPS navigator, camera and car-stereo FM source. It'll be available in black or light blue, for $129.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate at Verizon Communications Stores (including Circuit City branches.) Press release below. -

LG Chocolate 3 Arriving July 14th
The new LG Chocolate has finally gotten a firm release date—it will go on sale July 14th to Verizon Wireless customers. Remember, this Chocolate is a lot different from LG's candybars of old. It's actually a clamshell with a small, 1.76" touchscreen on the outside and larger 2.22" normal screen on the inside. It features a 2MP camera and stores your media on 1GB of internal memory expandable to 9GB by 8GB microSDHC. Expect to pay $299 at full retail price or $129 with a 2-year contract. [phonearena] -

Verizon Gets Rhapsody Subscriptions, DRM-Free Downloads
Verizon customers with certain VCAST phones have some new options for buying music, thanks to Rhapsody. First off, the $15 per month, all-the-songs-you-can-guzzle subscription service is offered on LG's Decoy and Dare, Moto's W755 and Samsung's SCH-u550, Glyde, and Juke, and will be available for the Chocolate 3 when it's out. Also, $2 over-the-air download tracks now come with a DRM-free MP3 version that you can snag on your computer with VCAST/Rhapsody software. If you can hold your horses and wait till you're on a PC to download, DRM-free tracks are yours for a buck, which can be sideloaded onto the phone like usual. Press release after the jump.

Visual Voicemail Coming to Verizon... For a Price
Rumor has it that Verizon Wireless will be joining AT&T and Sprint in offering visual voicemail, in this case on four upcoming phones: LG's Chocolate 3 and an updated Voyager (possible software update but more likely hardware refresh), along with the mysteriously code-named "Blaze" and "Utopia" from Motorola. That's more phones than any other carrier to date, though there's no mention of it on the iPhone wannabe LG Dare. The catch is that the optional service will cost $2 a month—annoying when you consider other carriers offer it for free, though totally expected when you consider that even Verizon's email app costs an extra $5 per month. Look out for this to arrive in late July or early August. [IntoMobile] -

LG's New Black Label Cellphone: First Look
LG is following up the love-it or hate-it Chocolate, and the Shine, with its third "Black Label" device: the as-yet unnamed cellphone you can see here. It looks a more serious and slender beast than the first two, and sports a five megapixel camera, tempered glass and a carbon-fiber finish. Other than that we can't say much, as LG is being shy with the details: though I'm sure they'd call it "teaser marketing". More data will be available at its European April 24th launch. We'll keep you posted. [Aving] -

Chocolate Bar USB Drive Concept Does Not Melt In Your Mouth or Your Hand
This USB Drive concept is pretty neat because of its modularity combined with a touchscreen in the middle used to organize files. The idea here is that files could be organized however you see fit into each "chunk" and taken elsewhere in your pocket for use on another computer. While this can be done to a lesser extent with a USB hub and a handful of flash drives, the main appeal of this concept is its design, which is quite tasty. [Yanko Design] More » -

A Set of Chocolate Tools Please
The holidays are all about candy, and nothing says holiday sweets like a set of chocolate tools. Wait, is that right? We know there are chocolate shaped bunnies, Champaign bottles and even gadgets, so we guess chocolate tools aren't that strange.

As for how much work you can actually get done with these tools is unknown, but we would imagine not much. For more chocolaty tooly goodness hit the jump. More »

RIM Sues LG Over the Words "Black," "Berry" and "Pearl"
Incensed over a pair of LG handsets that truthfully, probably were named to ape BlackBerry—the Black Cherry and Strawberry—RIM's taking LG to court. Fair enough. But RIM's arguing that any wireless device with the words "black," "berry," or "pearl" in its name isn't kosher, and requires RIM's consent. Apparently, Verizon asked for the okay to use Black Cherry and Blueberry for a set of LG's Chocolate phones, but RIM gave a wag of the finger, obviously leading Verizon and LG to just go for it. RIM's solution: total destruction of all LG wares with any of the forbidden words in its name. Bonfire! [The Globe and Mail via BGR, Flickr] -

LG Chocolate HT972TR Home Theater System Looks Like an Overgrown Cellphone
LG takes this 5.1 home theater-in-a-box (HTIB) deeper into Chocolate territory with this Chocolate HT972TR Home Theater system, hoisting its four surround speakers into a vertical arrangement that mimics the company's iconic cellphone line. Topping it off is a touchy-feely control unit for its CD/DVD player that's almost a spittin' image of one of LG's swank but clumsy Chocolate cellphones. Besides this clever and evocative imagery, the specs are about average for this category. More » -

Chocolate Calculator Counts Calories
We're not really sure what's going on with this chocolate calculator, or Chocolator, but we're pretty sure it's not edible.

LG Chocolate HS101 Mini Projector Finally On Its Way
While we heard rumblings of the LG Chocolate HS101 mini projector way back in December, the company says it will finally be shipping the diminutive minibeamer by the middle of this month. Even though this baby is just 6 inches long, 4 inches wide and a mere 2 inches thick and weighs just shy of 2 pounds, LG says it can crank out 100 lumens at a contrast ratio of 2000:1. That's not going to be enough to project a bright image in a well-lit room, but still, at that size, it's remarkable. See lots more pics on the next page. More »

Verizon Wireless Launches an All-New Chocolate by LG
Just when the nightmares of the original Chocolate's user interface have become less frequent, Verizon is introducing an all-new edition from LG. New to this slimmer Chocolate are a "vibrating touch keypad" and a navigation wheel with something called "Trace Motion light." Besides that, it has photo sending and stereo streaming Bluetooth profiles, speaker-independent voice dialing and EV-DO network support that the iPhone is missing. Regardless, we're still very skeptical, but we're willing to play around with this one, to see if any of the predecessor's slew of problems—no drag-and-drop music loading, touch of cheek sets off functions during call, etc.—have been fixed.

An iPod That'll Melt in Your Pocket and Give You Acne
Someone's figured out a way to combine gadget obsession with chocoholism, and it doesn't bode well for people with self-control issues. A company called "Corporate Gift Showcase" will sell you many pounds of chocolate molded into the shape of iPods, BlackBerries, laptops and HDTVs. They're ostensibly meant to be as gifts from companies purchased in bulk, but there's nothing stopping you from ordering 1,000 chocolate remote controls. That's right, nothing stopping you.

LG Chocolate Media Center Only Does 2.1 Audio, But Plays Back DivX over HDMI
This pricey (£329, or $636) LG J10HD may only be available in Europe, but it looks good enough for us to start begging for it over here. The system's only 2.1, which makes it kind of a low-to-medium end setup, but it does have two 75W speakers and a 150W sub. What's best about it is that it's got a built-in 80GB hard drive that can store and play back DivX over its HDMI or component connection. More » -
