Latest by riflehunter: I really like my 8600 and now I'm glad I can upgrade to the Chocolate 3. I'm not worried about megapixels on the camera, though. Going from 1.3 to 2 just gets me 700,000 more pixels of blurry more »
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. [Verizon]

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]

It's a chocolate helmet. Shaped like Master Chief. For your penis. Yes, that Master Chief. Or as the site calls him, "The One Eyed Spartan." As if dressing up junior as a viking or Indiana Jones wasn't silly enough. Reserve yours today for $7.95! [Chocolate Party Hats via The Raw Feed]
tasty peripheral
Those fellows at the Chocolate Design Agency have come up with another smashing concept. This time they have gone to work on creating the best phone, ever. The design is modeled around the same E-Paper Slap Bracelet we saw earlier, but this time the e-paper system—four layers of sustainable material, and an Organic Radical battery—is put to use in the P-Per cellphone concept, which shows a transparent display for camera mode and a browser that spans the entire surface of the display. Checkout the video after the jump to see what all the fuss is about.

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]

Microsoft just sent us these delicious (we think—we haven't eaten them yet) chocolates in the shape of their ergonomic keyboard and mice sets. Although we couldn't get more than 1 wpm on these (the one word was "chocolate"), they do taste a whole lot better than the previous Microsoft hardware we've eaten. Probably feels better coming out too. [Microsoft]
chocolate pain
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.
