This sure is fast. Remember when we talked about WiFi Direct last month? Shortly over a month, and the list of devices certified is starting the get populated. LG’s BD960 Blu-ray player is the first to get into the block to get the WiFi Direct certification. This would hint strongly on direct P2P communication in your home theater living room. AirPlay? Others also can do it too!

Things sure are heating up between LG and Samsung for the display war. Now, LG is officially entering the burgeoning color electronic paper market by displaying not one, but two color prototype displays at FPD International in Japan. Both are 9.7-inches diagonal, the first being fully color with an 800 x 600 resolution — which just happens to exactly match the specs of E Ink’s latest. The second, however, is only partly color, the top three quarters being monochrome with a 1200 x 1200 resolution, augmented by a 200 x 600 color strip at the bottom. It’s an interesting offering, a layout not unlike the Nook but all on a single display. Obviously there’s no mention of price and availability as these are just prototype demo of technology.

TN (Twisted nematic) panels are widely used because they’re cheap to produce, but when you want quality displays, IPS (In-plane switching) panel is the way to go. That’s because they improve on the poor viewing angle and the poor colour reproduction of TN panels LG has introduced the LG 21.5-inch IPS226V and 23-inch IPS236V IPS monitors at a press conference in Japan. Measuring at just 19.5mm thick, LG’s new IPS displays boast a 6ms response time, a 1,920 x 1,080 pixels resolution, a 5,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, a 250 nits of brightness level, an HDMI port and a 178-degree viewing angles. The LG 21.5-inch IPS226V and 23-inch IPS236V will be launched in November and December 2010, respectively. Too bad, there is no info on pricing at this moment.

You see, back 5 years ago, hardly anyone I know uses Apple’s product, but now every teenager that I know is talking about Apple. Yes, specifically the iPhone. Back then majority is using Nokia, and those that wanted to stay different would be getting an Ericsson. Those that wanted something more special would be getting a Samsung Blue-i and then a Samsung True-I, or the Motorola Razr lineup. Panasonic is making waves with the girls on their tiny G50 phones. There’s no such thing as an Apple iPhone. Read more…

Dell did not want to miss out on the early craze of Windows Phone 7, and thus has also whooped out their own version of the Windows Phone 7 handset, albeit only one model, and a very odd one among the crowd. It’s called the Dell Venue Pro. Dell’s take on the Windows Phone 7 is a portrait slide-out QWERTY keyboard style, and it’s a huge portrait slider Windows Phone 7, at 4.1-inch. It’s a capacitive, multitouch display joined by additional back, home, and search touch-sensitive buttons. Looks typical of a WinPo7 handset, until you slide out the QWERTY keyboard hiding behind.
