LG Optimus G is first LTE smartphone with quad-core Snapdragon processor in the world

Posted: 28 Aug 2012 09:30 AM PDT

LG breaks new ground yet again with the introduction of the LG Optimus G, which is touted to be the first LTE smartphone in the world to carry a quad-core Snapdragon processor. There is definitely no doubt right from the very beginning that this will be a high-end smartphone, delivering powerful performance right out of the box while coming in an elegant and sleek design, in addition to offering an innovative user experience. Since it is the first LTE device in the world that features Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4 Pro Quad-Core processor, you can be sure that the LG Optimus G will be the prime example for all future flagship handsets from the good people at LG.

Just what kind of hardware specifications can you expect from LG’s flagship smartphone? Well for starters, it will not only deliver LTE supported capabilities, the LG Optimus G will also feature the latest generation Adreno 320 GPU for all your mobile graphics needs. The Snapdragon S4 Pro will clock in at 1.5GHz, delivering Asynchronous Symmetric Multiprocessing (aSMP) that is said to allow each core to power up and down independently, which is good news for the handset’s battery as every single drop of juice will be maximized in this manner. As for the Adreno 320, it is touted to deliver more than three times the speed of the Adreno 225 which can be found in previous Snapdragon processors.

Thanks to assistance from LG Display, the LG Optimus G will come with a beautiful 4.7″ WXGA True HD IPS+ Display with 320ppi high pixel density (1280×768 pixels) and Stripe RGB IPS Panel with 15:9 aspect ratio. You know that this is a beauty right from the get go, where the display offers sharper and crisper images with color accuracy of sRGB 100% to showcase natural and life-like images.

You can perform Live Zooming that enables zooming in and out while viewing a video, while the Dual Screen Dual Play feature enables mirroring between the smartphone and a TV, in addition to displaying different content on each screen. The LG Optimus G will come with 32GB of internal memory, 2GB RAM, Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi connectivity, USB 2.0 support, A-GPS, DLNA and NFC capabilities. It has a 13-megapixel at the back and a 1.3-megapixel in front. Any takers for the new superphone?

Verbatim Design Mice announced

Posted: 28 Aug 2012 09:00 AM PDT

When one talks about Verbatim, most of the time we would have the idea of some kind of storage device in mind, considering how the company made their name with a collection of Teflon-coated floppy disks back in the halycon days of the 80×86 computers. Well, the company still does deal with all things storage even until now, but this does not mean that they have decided to remain with just such a business model, refusing to branch out to other kinds of businesses. Here we are with the latest bit of news concerning Verbatim, where I am referring to the Verbatim Design Mice that offers wireless connectivity in a stylish form factor, merging 2.4 GHz performance in a user-friendly shape and artistic design.

The Verbatim Design Mouse will play nice with both the Mac and PC platforms, where it is said to marry "technology and performance with joyful artistic design." Sporting an ergonomic form factor which will conform to your hand, in addition to having a comfort-grip scroll wheel alongside a rubberized side grip for that added bit of precision control, the Design Mice series will be endowed with an elegant pattern which is highlighted via various color contrasts.

To "talk" to your computer, the Verbatim Design Mouse will rely on a 2.4 GHz wireless connection so that you will always be able to enjoy delayed-free cursor movement. The presence of a Nano USB receiver is there to prevent issues concerning bulk, and transporting and storage of the Nano USB receiver is easier than ever before since you can always stash that into the Design Mouse itself by clipping onto it. I would say that even if you want the Nano USB receiver to remain on your notebook's USB port when you travel, that should not be a problem considering its miniscule size.

You can choose from five distinct colors – burnt orange, purple, red, blue and graphite, where the Verbatim Design Mice will retail for $19.99 a pop.

A Fire Pit for Anyone

Posted: 28 Aug 2012 08:28 AM PDT

Fall is right around the corner. Kids are going back to school, football season is upon us and slowly but surely a chill creeps into the air. On a cool Fall night a fire pit is a great way to enjoy the evening. It helps create a perfect social environment for parties or barbeques. Not to mention a good place to curl up with a Kindle Fire, iPad or loved one.

Yet most of us don't have the money or space to construct a fire pit. Not to mention the patience for the mess that a natural pit creates or gas line to power one. The Outdoor GreatRoom® Company offers a solution that works for most any situation. Their Venturi Flame line of table top fire pits gives a stylish solution that can be used outdoors or indoors. A gel fuel pack provides the power source, you simply provide the flame, put the top on and voila. The unique twirling fire adds a unique feel to any setting. It is your own fire pit for $182.66 on Amazon. Replacement gel packs are available – 24 for less than $100.

The uses are really endless: low table on the patio for a fire pit feel, outdoor dining table for ambiance, indoor patio. Even if you have a fire pit, a Venturi Flame adds extra pizzazz to the scene. Get yourself prepared for the chill in the air with your own fire pit.
