LG OLED Televisions – 15 Inches now 40 Inches Later!

by Jay Garrett on September 1, 2009

LG oled tvLovely aint it?

Better still, the LG 15 inch OLED television is gearing up to become consumer reality!

LG will be flashing this skinny OLED supermodel around next week’s IFA trade show.

It sounds like they’re expecting to start selling it in Korea this November, followed by overseas sometime next year.

The pain to balance this pleasure is certainly going to be the price.

Sony’s XEL–1 dropped in at over £3,000 when it was first launched – so I’m guessing that a few grand, a kidney and your soul may be required to get one of these beauties!

But the good news keeps coming as LG is bragging about a 40 inch model in the “not too distant future.”

Mmmmm…………OLED………..

Conduit Concept Sky / Pantech Mobile Phone

by Jay Garrett on February 22, 2009

keypadTurns out Kanye loves his design and his tech :)

That is where this mobile phone concept was found – thanks to Jo for pointing me towards the singers’ site.

So, if you want to know what we’ll be packing in our pockets come 2030 it could well look like this!

The Conduit was designed for SKY/Pantech, a Korean mobile phone company by Tirshathah Hunter.

The conduit can be collapsed into a pocket-friendly form or expanded into a bona fide video phone.

You basically get 3 devices in one: The rollaway flexible display can be unfurrled to create a PDA with stylus, then you can have a regular cellphone with camera and a slimline cellphone that breaks away from the other components.

If I had the cash I’d sponsor this design to be built.

Wouldn’t you?
