LG seems to have their hands dipped in every part of consumer electronics, and this time round we have the XD1 portable hard drive to help tote around your data in style. It uses 2.5″ hard drives with a SATA II interface, where it is capable of hitting a maximum speed (theoretical) of up to 480 Mbps thanks to the USB 2.0 E-SATA port. You will be able to pick up the LG XD1 portable hard drive in 120GB, 160GB, 250GB and 320GB capacities, and it will come in either a gradient texture of red wine or black pearl colors. There is no word on pricing and availability despite the fact that it is already launched in Korea. What’s your budget when it comes to a peripheral such as this?

The Wii Remote is fun to use especially in a party setting, but some people have complained that it isn’t as sensitive as they would like it to be. After all, where you place the sensor bar is extremely important, as direct sunlight pouring into your room and directed straight at the sensor bar is a big no no. With the Wii MotionPlus peripheral, this add-on accessory hopes to make your 3D gaming experience all the more accurate and lifelike. It is connected to the end of the Wii Remote and “allows for more comprehensive tracking of a player’s arm position and orientation, providing players with an unmatched level of precision and immersion. Every slight movement players make with their wrist or arm is rendered identically in real time on the screen, providing a true 1:1 response in their game play.” There is no word on pricing or availability though.

How many of us are still so used to the idea of holding a cell phone in one hand while driving with the other despite the advancement in technology known as Bluetooth? Well, many countries have already introduced a ban on this dangerous driving habit, which is where the CPC Wristband comes in (if your phone does not have Bluetooth connectivity or you’re too cheap to purchase a Bluetooth headset). Make sure you have the speakerphone function in the first place though before you pick up the CPC Wristband. This solution is meant to wrap around your wrist, where your phone is slotted into the pocket, making it a snap for you to carry out your conversations without suffering from the lack of hands. It is officially approved by police in the US, England, Italy, Switzerland, Hungary, Israel and Japan. You will be able to pick up the CPC Wristband for $25.99 each.

Isn’t it obvious which market you’re targeting if you name your product the Motorola H680 Female Bluetooth headset? Well, at least that’s the impression that I got after the big M released this in the Korean market alongside three other portable speakers. We’ll concentrate on the former today though, as this extremely small Bluetooth headset measures a mere 41mm x 18mm x 12mm while tipping the scales at just 12 grams. It relies on Bluetooth 2.0 +EDR connectivity to pair up with a compatible Bluetooth device, making sure that you won’t get a ticket from the fine police force in Korea as you hold conversations on your phone in the car while driving. Motorola has slapped a $80 price tag (or thereabouts after conversion) on the H680 Female.

Word has it that the Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai, India, is well known for its deity Lord Ganesh granting favors to devotees, which in turn is no surprise when hopeful devotees leave a thing of value for Lord Ganesh from time to time. This time around, a fulfilled devotee decided to repay whatever favors received with a diamond-encrusted Motorola K1, although I don’t think a deity has any need for a cell phone. What carrier plans is he going to stick to, anyways? The Motorola K1 model in question is currently residing at the Abhishek counter of the temple for curious onlookers. It will soon be put up for a public auction, so if you’re interested do contact the local authorities on how to snag yourself one. Man, I need a new phone and am too broke to buy one - is there any vacancy for a deity somewhere?

California-based luxury handheld device accessory designer, Sena Cases, has just released a couple of new designs for the recently launched iPhone 3G. Surely such a beautiful handset will deserve something equally elegant as a protective case? These new cases are precisely handcrafted by leather artisans in Europe using the finest quality, full-grain, soft Italian Napa leather. There are seven seven cases for the iPhone 3G in total, including the Sena MagnetFlipper Case and the Sena Dockable Case. The former offers one of the most practical flip-style caes ever, letting you answer calls as quickly as possible without sacrificing on accessibility. It comes with a hinged bottom and magnetic fastening system on top, letting you flick the cover out of the way with a simple thumb flick.

As for the Sena Dockable Case, this premium leather flip-top case was uniquely designed to work with the docking station without sacrificing the iPhone 3G’s functionality.

The Sena Dockable case will retail for $52, while the Sena MagnetFlipper Case goes for the same price as well.

Fairly new on the list of Samsung’s digital camera releases is the TL34HD, in a slim design with features that will keep you snapping.  Following the NV24HD, this model is more advanced and easy to use.  A 14.7 megapixel resolution gives you beautiful precise pictures and with an optical zoom of 3.6x you won’t miss a moment.  Movie stabilizer for those video memories you couldn’t quite catch in just a photo, and successive recording mode so you can pause for any interruptions.

With an all metal build, the design is sleek and sturdy, plus small dimensions of 3.68” x 2.34” x 0.80”

The Smart Touch 2.0 user interface will make changing your options and menu items up painless and with HDMI connectivity nothing will slow you down.  720p video recording with a high 30 frames per second is great for most anything you want to capture on video.  Includes a 28mm Schneider lens for the best shots.  Other models are currently available if these features aren’t what you are looking for, but look for this coming in September from Samsung.
