Nvidia has finally launched their latest DirectX 11 card, the GTX580. It’s based on the GF110, which is slightly modified from the Fermi GF100. The card has so far received much praises and thumbs up from many reviewers, though many have stated that this is what GTX480 should have been when it was launched, as this GTX580 has all the 16 SMs activated while GTX480 only has 15 of them available.

You’ve seen quite some manufacturers bundling Bluetooth keyboards onto their iPad cases, but now we finally see something similar on the iPhone. Yes, finally your iPhone can have the Droid-ness that you always fancy to have despite having sworn your loyalty to Steve Jobs. Thanks to BoxWave, they’ve announce the availability of their latest BoxWave Keyboard Buddy Case, which has a Bluetooth keyboard embedded in an iPhone 4 case. Simply slide out the very small Bluetooth keyboard, and you have a Droid with iOS 4. . It’ll start shipping next month, and it’s a little pricey at $70, but hey you’re getting a true QWERTY keyboard here my friend.

Here’s some very scary hardware that’ll put OCZ’s RevoDrive X2 to shame, in oblivion. The LSI WarpDrive SLP-300 packs 300GB of solid state storage onto a PCI Express card and promises up to 240,000 sustained IOPS (Input / Output Operations Per Second), with 1,400MBps sustained throughput — about double the performance of OCZ’s ‘budget’ RevoDrive X2. According to LSI, you would need over 400 regular hard drives in 36U of rack space and 300 times the power to match the WarpDrive for sheer IOPS. LSI recommends server applications for this card, but since they ask for $11,500 each time you buy one, I’m sure you’ll put this ‘decently priced’ card into good use. A five-figure hard drive for your computer, hopefully you won’t only play Crysis and Need for Speed with this throat-cutter.

Buffalo’s product has always been very good looking, and here they come with some new products that look very sleek. First is the MiniStation Stealth, a little black box that rely on only a single USB cable for power and data, decreasing its radar signature considerably. That’s available starting at $74 for 320GB and moving up to $104 for 640GB. Then there’s the DriveStation Axis LED, available in January 2011, a larger external drive which extends its evil might with an array of lights on the front from the LEDs, if your life depends on how stylish you live it. To help your efforts this one starts at 1TB for $99, with the 2TB model going for $159.

Here’s something surprising. NOX Audio suddenly came out with two pairs of stylish earphones — the Specialist supra-aural cans with a retractable, flexible mic, and the Scout earbud headset, now on sale.

Even at first glance the Scout’s not your average pair of in-line earbuds, connected to your phone of choice via a piece of rubber linguini that acts as a no-tangle cord, but they also have balanced armature drivers that delivered some very good sound even in the bustle of a busy trade show or stock market. There’s even ‘the world’s smallest mic’ integrated into this earphone. If you’re interested to give NOX a try, you’ll find the Scout at “select retailers” and the company’s online store for $80, ready to ship to you.

Yes, Apple might have their Retina display to boast around, but now everything’s in 3D yo. That’s because Sharp’s autostereoscopic 3D is coming to a smartphone near you next year. Sharp plans to debut their Softbank-bound Galapagos 003SH and 005SH Android handsets next month, but Sharp has also confirmed its intention to also bring it Stateside as well as to two of the world’s most populous nations in China and India.

It’s not yet exactly clear what handsets those markets will be getting, but if you’re looking for further signs of Sharp’s expanding international ambition, the company’s reported to also be contemplating extending its e-reading tablet platform out to the US and China. Things seemed to be starting to heat up since Panasonic will also start venturing into smartphone territorial next year.

Somehow, Panasonic thinks that 3D TVs should have a six figure price, but we can’t really blame since their 3D TV here is a 103-inch plasma TV. In early 2006, Panasonic showed off a 103-inch plasma TV, and now fast forward four years they’ve come up with a 3D-version of that huge baby. It has 5m:1 native contrast ratio, and Panasonic will gladly make one for you starting today, if you have 8.5 million yen, or about a bit more than $100,000 ready in your bank. And that still doesn’t include the cost to ship, handle, and install the 439 pound TV onto the wall of your country estate. At least it ships with one pair of active shutter glasses. That’s very kind of you Panasonic.
