Boynq's Iris Webcam Has a Touch of Anglepoise in its Design
*Squeak* Hello. I'm Pixar's famous Anglepoise lamp... yes, the one from the CGI film. *Squeak* I'm here to complain about this new Iris webcam from Boynq, which takes a few too many design cues from me and my fellow lamp kind. Look at it: it's unmistakable isn't it? As well as a VGA webcam, it's got a 5W RMS speaker and an 8-LED light. Now, call me a drama queen but I think that's taking things a bit too far. More »

LG KU990 Viewty Touchscreen Cellphone Can Now Record 640x480 DivX at 120FPS
Recording VGA-quality movies is nothing new, but DivX and LG just announced that the LG Viewty smartphone can now record VGA-quality movies at 120 frames per second with what looks like a software update (new ones will ship with it pre-loaded). Best of all, it records in the DivX format, which means you can watch it back on all kinds of DivX devices (your computer, various PMPs, the Xbox 360 and the PS3 for example). Besides recording at such a high rate, the phone can also take 5-megapixel stills, for the times when one picture says more than 120 of them. The Viewty is already available in Europe, and we got a hands-on with it last year. [Mobile Burn]

MyVu Crystal & Shades Pay Homage To Sci-Fi Vision
Sci-Fi eyewear lovers are finally getting more options when shopping for new shades with MyVu's release of two new models, Shades and Crystal. Both models are geared toward watching video on the go, with what MyVu describes as "glance-down technology with true situational awareness." With this "glance-down tech" these glasses are even closer to mimicking their Sci-Fi alter-egos, as you might have see on IO9's Gallery of Sci-Fi Vision Systems. We had our own Benny Goldman testing out the new models, and sadly he didn't have many words of praise.

Wide VGA OLED for Handhelds on the Horizon From Samsung
Samsung is currently hard at work on what should be the first OLED display capable of wide VGA (800x480) resolution on a screen that measures as little as 3.08 inches across. Quite a leap when you consider that up until now, the best manufacturers could muster was a quarter VGA (320x240) on displays of that size. The redesign should also produce screens that cover the entire NTSC color range, achieve a 1,000:1 contrast ratio, use less power, and produce nearly instantaneous pixel response times. The upgrade should be ready for production sometime in the summer of next year. [ Samsung via Electronista]

XCM VGA Box Makes Your Wii/PS3/PS2/Xbox VGA Compatible
This VGA Box sits between your console and your TV/Monitor in order to convert component video into VGA. This is useful for say, the Wii and PS3 that only have component but not VGA outputs, and will convert 480p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p. It should work on most TVs and monitors supporting VGA input, and will cost you $69. More »

Well, the Spring Update actually offers a fix to those problems, which came from different interpretations of black levels on HDTVs and PCs. Adjust the new settings in your display and you'll be set.

Gefen's Wireless USB with 100-Foot Range - For Real This Time?
At last year's CES, Gefen announced a wireless USB hub with 30-foot range. It was pure vapor, like most of the ultra-wideband wireless USB gear we saw. For this year's CES the company is announcing a wireless USB hub with a 100-foot range—along with wireless extenders for component audio, HDMI and VGA. Gefen claims that three of these products are already in production, and I sure hope the HDMI extender is one of them. Here's a rundown:* The four port USB extender uses Wisair's 3.5GHz ultra-wideband and will have up to 400 Mbps throughput for $249.
* The component audio extender can deliver up to 1080i resolution within 300-feet line of site. It will cost $1,499.
* The wireless HDMI extender uses TZero's ultra-wideband, will have a 30-foot range, and support resolution up to 1080i and 400 Mbps transfer speeds for $499.
* The VGA extender has a 100-foot range and supports 1280x1024 or 780p resolutions, no word on pricing. More »

Samsung LCD to Enable Bigger, Sharper Viewscreens on Digital Cameras
Here's one of those pieces of techno-goodness that serves as foreshadowing to what we might be seeing in the not-too-distant future. Samsung has just created the first 3-inch LCD panel that not only has enough pixels for 640x480 (VGA) resolution, but also has the industry-standard interface needed to fit into digital still cameras.

Leave it to Sharp to release what it calls the world's first true VGA mobile phone, displaying 480x640 pixels in its 904SH clamshell manufactured for Vodafone. That leapfrogs the previously biggest cellphone screens which were just quarter VGA. Word is that Japanese subscribers will pay $210 for the privilege of gazing at such a screen. More »

Matrox VGA Y-Splitter
Tuesday Matrox announced a peripheral that can take a single VGA input and split it out to two monitors. With all of the latest and greatest PC video cards already having dual-monitor supports, this product is probably aimed more towards the laptop user. The DualHead2Go actually is pretty cool. Instead of just cloning the image twice, the splitter tricks your computer into thinking an extremely widescreen monitor is plugged in. This could be really useful in multi-projector presentations via laptop or dual-screen pR0N/FPS marathons. The DualHead2Go will run around $170 and should be shipping soon. More »

Acer Widescreen With Windows Mobile 5
Not quite a widescreen, but this new Acer runs at full-VGA (640x480) and has a whopping 3.7" LCD. Specs are pretty sparse but we see a 400Mhz processor, 128MB ROM, WiFi, and Bluetooth—all of which suggest "mini-laptop" rather than PDA. More »
