Latest Samsung LED TV Series 6 and 7 have arrived


Long gone are the days when every household would queue up to upgrade to the latest trend of LCD / plasma television sets. Samsung have now upped their game by launching their latest LED (that’s right, Light Emitting Diode) widescreen tellies.
From its pebble stone like remote control to the television set itself. Not only are the two new Series 6 and 7 LED TVs thin (1.2″) but are also superior in just about every other way imaginable. Instead of multiple parts molded together, these LED TVs are one solid, piece of advanced technology, elegantly supported by a unique crystal neck.Particularly impressive is the spec that Samsung have been able to cram into these 12″ “Crystal TVs”, the Series 7 for example boasts built in woofer, gaming mode, a range of connectivities including internet tv, wireless LAN, 2x USB, DTV tuner, 4x HDMI and weighs round about 22.2 kg. The LED range is no exception to sporting luxurious features such as Mega Contrast Ratio, Wide Colour Enhancer Pro with LED Gamut and 100Hz Motion Plus technology, all of which assists in delivering the best and most vibrant detail and colours possible.The Series 7 mentioned before also provides an extra widget controller feature which allows you to connect to the web and explore common interests such as weather, news and stock. On board internet@TV allows you to surf the web just like the browser on your computer except you’re doing it on a 55″ screen! Making the most out of the internet, LED 7000 series’ Content Flash Library also allows you to download games and tools to be run on the telly, this certainly isn’t a functionality offered by your average TV!

Of course Samsung have also made these LED TVs so that its impressive quality doesn’t mean compromising our planet’s environment. Both the Series 6 and 7 LED tellies are recyclable and environmentally friendly with a frame that contains no non-environment friendly VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), while it is running you will save up to 40% of power consumption compared to the average telly. When its not, an ultra low power consuming standby mode (<0.1watts) is available so that no excess energy is wasted and therefore automatically helps you cut down on your carbon footprint.

BeBook e-reader demoed

Many like to call these e-readers, or e-book readers or even e-paper display devices, like the Kindle, BeBook is a device with a display that looks exactly like as if you were reading from paper. Of course, compared to paper, this is much more friendlier to the environment in that you’re not wasting any paper.

The BeBook which retailed at £249.99 both online and at the show, can read almost any popular file formats that you can think of, pdf, mobi, prc, epub, lit, txt, fb2, doc, html, rtf, djvu, wol, ppt, mbp, chm, bmp, jpg, png, gif, tif, rar, zip, mp3 (for audio books) as well as RSS newsfeeds. With an incredibly long battery life, one charge will last 7000 pageturns, though it may be on the low side in terms of internal memory (512MB), the BeBook makes up for that by having aSD memory card slot.

Latest LG solar phone concept from MWC


Here are pictures of LG’s latest concept phone from the MWC last week, it is equipped with solar panels allowing it to help the environment by reducing the need to use non-renewable resources. When you think of technology and gadgets that harvest solar energy I tend to think of large chunky panels but in fact the concept phone below is quite the opposite.It’s a slider phone and though its just a prototype, 10 minutes of charging under natural light could give 3 minutes of run time, that’s not bad at all considering that power has just come out of no where
