Invoxia NVX 610 calls up the iPhone to redefine the landline
 
Invoxia is reinventing the telephone. That’s the idea behind its first model, the NVX 610. It’s got looks that owe more than a nod to Apple’s clean, modern industrial design templates; fittingly, then, the interface is controlled almost entirely by Apple’s iPhone.

The Invoxia is a desktop IP phone at heart, but it also integrates your iPhone's controls and contacts, bringing your work and personal contacts together in one place. And that place isn’t just a pretty bit of design. The unit houses eight speakers and eight microphones that give intelligent stereo imaging to conference calls and work to cancel background noise.  Read more...

Fujitsu unveils the Arrows Tab, a waterproof Android tablet
 
Not to be outdone by the other water-defying android device announced today, Fujitsu has taken the wraps off their very own splashproof offering. The 10.1in Honeycomb-toting tablet is powered by a 1GHz dual-core processor and also manages to squeeze in 16GB of storage, a microSD slot and a CMOS camera to boot.
 
We’re not sure just how waterproof the shiny slate is as of yet, but we’d be more than happy if it could survive the all-too-frequent coffee spill that has dragged many a gadget to its watery grave in the past.  Read more... 
 
HTC untethers a Titan
 
It’s been all quiet on the Windows Phone front for a while now – but HTC has just broken the Microsoft-flavoured smartphone silence with a 4.7in monster called the Titan.

Taking the same name as a QWERTY-packing TyTN from 2006 (albeit spelled correctly this time) the new Titan leads Windows Phone’s fight against Android and iOS with a second-gen 1.5GHz Snapdragon processor pushing pixels to the 480 x 800px touchscreen. That’s the same engine found in the Flyer, so you can expect it to be pretty nippy.  Read more...

Toshiba announces the razor thin 10.1in AT200

What’s thinner than an iPad 2 and runs Android? Until an hour ago the answer would have been Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 7.7 at 7.9mm thick, but Toshiba has just slotted in to pole position with the recently announced AT200 (Excite) tablet which measures in at a wafer thin 7.7mm and weighs just 558g.

The device will be rocking Honeycomb straight out of the gate and features a 10.1in 1,280 x 800px screen and up to 64GB of storage, with a reported battery life of 8 hours. The 1.4GHz dual core processor and 1GB of RAM should keep things running smoothly while a 5MP rear camera and front-facing video conferencing camera take care of imaging desires.  Read more...

Sharp unveils 8K4K Super Hi-Vision LCD TV

If you find yourself looking at your run of the mill HD TV and wonder why it can't be 16x clearer, make friends with Sharp who's just announced an 8K4K LCD TV – so named after its ridiculous 7,680 x 4,320px resolution. Compare that to regular HD which gives you Formula One and footie in a measly 1,920 x 1,080px display and you've got the first ever TV with Super Hi-Vision (or Ultra High Definition Television).  Read more...

Sony Ericsson reveals the Xperia Arc S

Sony Ericsson has revealed the Xperia Arc as the latest in a long list of devices to get an S slapped onto the end of its name. As you would expect, the extra letter comes with numerous bumps in features – notably a 1.4GHz processor and an Exmor R sensor with a 2D to 3D conversion panorama mode. No exact release date or pricing info as yet – though a global release is pencilled in for some time in October.  View photo...

Panasonic launches 2D/3D HDC-Z10000 camcorder

Are we seeing double? 3D is taking centre stage this year at IFA 2011 and Panasonic has kicked off with the twin-lens 2D and 3D shooting handheld HDC-Z10000 camcorder.

The HDC-Z10000 shoots full HD video using two 3MOS 6.5MP sensors and gives you 10x optical zoom and 3D macro shooting for your money. Plus there's a glasses-free 3D LCD screen to view your handiwork on – a first for Panny and fun for us.  View photo...

LG shows off the HX906TX Home Cinema system

Once you've filled your IFA shopping trolley with a 3D TV or two, you'll probably want a Blu-ray player and a small fleet of speakers to make sure your 50in screen doesn't get lonely. Step up the LG HX906TX 3D Sound Home Cinema system with its 9.1 speaker system, full HD 3D Blu-ray playback and 360 degree "3D Sound" thanks to Dolby True HD tech.  Read more...
