Yamaha’s New TSX-140 Audio System/iPod Dock Wakes You Gently

Who needs a clock radio when you can have a clock audio system? Yamaha has a new desktop audio system with IntelliAlarm, which wakes you up with a soft fade in of music, first filtering out high frequencies, and then gradually restoring the full audio spectrum before it starts beeping.
The TSX-140 is an iPod dock too, compatible with the iPod touch and iPhone (3G/3GS/4). It can also play MP3 and WMA files stored on a USB stick, as well as FM/AM radio. Featuring twin 3½–inch bass reflex speakers and digital amplifiers, the TSX-140 boasts Yamaha’s own Concert Quality Sound and Extended Stereo.
A USB mini-B connector is included for iPod/iPhone syncing, and three front panel controls give access to source, volume, radio presets, alarm clock and equalizer functions. It also has a brightness sensor which adjusts all display LEDs to suit the ambient light level.
The Yamaha TSX-140 is now available in black, brick and gray for $399.95.

Samsung throws up hands, posts Continuum user manual on Verizon website

There is a slim possibility that come tomorrow morning, Samsung won't reveal the dual-display Continuum smartphone. But honestly, the company may not have to, as all the pertinent details have already leaked out. However, if you harbor any lingering curiosity about how that 1.8-inch secondary "ticker" display might work, you can find out right now -- the full user manual is inexplicably available on Verizon's website ahead of a formal announcement, along with the standard size comparison and 360-degree views. Find them at our source links immediately below.

LG L-03C has 3x optical zoom, 12 megapixel CCD sensor, Xenon flash -- and it can make phone calls!

Dear Nokia and Samsung, please come to reception to collect your old and busted 12 megapixel cameraphones. The new king of the phonecamera heap, in appearance at least, has arrived in the shape of LG's L-03C. It comes with a retractable 3x optical zoom lens from Pentax, a 12 megapixel CCD sensor, a Xenon flash, and a 720p movie recording mode. The L-03C is also intentionally styled to remind users of the more timeless compact camera designs of the past (and present) and it's only by entering the NTT DoCoMo OS and hitting up the dialer that you discover that it's also a cellular phone to boot. In spite of its 3-inch display and 800 x 480 resolution, this is still strictly just a featurephone, but it's sure put in a lot of work to make sure one of those features stands out. Look out for it in Japan from this January.

Fold Up This iPad Case Like Origami and Make a Stand

It's a two-in-one iPad case! We've seen a few multipurpose cases now, but Incase's Origami has a particular surfer-wetsuit-look that I really dig. It's $35 so is a lot cheaper than some of the other cases we've seen (like Griffin's Standle, at $50), and does the job of protecting iPads when put in case-form, but with a few little folds (like origami...geddit?), it turns into a stand for watching movies on and so forth. Pick it up in pink or black now. [Incase via CrunchGear]

iLIVEx Pro lets iPad users show screens using projector

The iPad is a very cool and useful tool for the average consumer and the pro user.

Omnio WOWKeys and iPhone team up to build a better Eee Keyboard

Why just dock your iPhone when you can create an iOS-based Eee Keyboard instead? What you're looking at is a Made for iPhone keyboard called WOWKeys from Omnio. The $100 USB keyboard / iPhone (3GS or 4) dock is Mac or PC compatible (note the cohabitation of the Windows flag and Command key in the prototype images after the break) featuring 15 hotkeys designed for iPhone use. Of course, you can also load up any number of apps to turn the iPhone into a media center remote control, multi-touch trackpad, and soon an AirPlay media streamer when iOS 4.2 is released. That makes the whole ensemble a pretty versatile ARM-based computer and smartphone. Someone remind us of the advantages of that $600ish Atom-based ASUS all-in-one PC running XP again?

LG L-03C is the first real point-and-shoot camera with a phone built-in

The LG L-03C is the first point-and-shoot camera phone or phone camera depending on how you want to look at it. The device is available only on DoCoMo right now and is basically a camera with a phone module crammed in rather than a phone with a digital camera inside.

The two may sound the same, but there is a key difference in that the L-03C appears to have been designed to be more functional as a camera than your average camera phone is capable of. The thing has a 12.1MP sensor and ISO setting up to 3200. The lens is a Pentax 1:2.6-5.5 and has 3x optical zoom. Optical zoom is a big deal for a camera phone/phone camera since most only have digital zoom that tends to ruin your pics.

Other features of the device include HD video recording at up to 720p, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth and 3G capability. There is no word on when/if the L-03C will make it to other
