Samsung CX971P: Magic 19-inch LCD Display with 4000:1 Contrast Ratio

This new Samsung ninja cyborg can apparently rotate their new CX971P 19-inch display into any angle with a single move of her organic plastic-covered, laser-tipped titanium finger. All thanks to its MagicRotation mechanism. OK, so maybe she doesn’t have lasers. Or isn’t a cyborg. We can only wish. However, this new version of the 971P,…

The word on the streets is that RIM’s BlackBerry 8300 might show up as early as next week, and that it will bear the (classy?) name “Curve.” We already told you that the smartphone formerly known as Daytona won’t have Wi-Fi, nor any kind of 3G. As a GSM handset, it looks like it’s having…
