Personalize your iPaq rw6800

In conjunction with the recent launch of the iPaq rw6800, HP will also be introducing a limited-edition skin collection which the company hopes can offer users an added touch of personalization for their PDA-phones. Each skin will retail for S$30 (US$22.06) and this includes the cost of application of the skin which will be carried out by appointed third-party vendors. Users can choose from four designs in the initial collection, which includes Classic Red and Divine Fucshia for female users, Bubble Green for the younger crowd and Black Knight for professional male consumers.

HP's introduction of user-selectable skins for its handhelds, possibly a first for the company, didn't come as a surprise as its main competitors Dopod and O2 are already offering multiple color versions of their latest PDA-phones. The first collection of four skin designs is created by local designers. According to HP, other collections of skins will be made available seasonally. (Click here for larger images)

World's first interactive refrigerator

The good life just got better. LG has returned with an iteration of its Internet fridge which not only features a polar bear mascot on a 4-inch screen that will interact with you, this icebox now tells you the weather, advises parents on what to feed and dress their kids in. Plus you can also watch TV, display digital photos and write digital memos on the 15-inch screen, besides being able to hook up to a DVD player, USB drive, TV and FM radio. Say, did we also mention that it keeps your food chilled?

Availability: Singapore, in next two months; note that real-time weather forecast function will not be available
Device: Refrigerator
Basic specs: Digital temperature sensor controls, OptiFresh crisper to keep vegetables fresh, BioShield anti-bacteria gasket

Gaze at your soccer on the go

If there was one extra feature we want to add to the iriver B10, it's integrated memory. LG has just launched the FM35, a 2GB DMB-enabled media device which also supports music and image playback. It has a bigger screen (2.4 versus 2.2 inches) and an extra hour's worth of football viewing time compared with the B10. Possibly pricier, too.

But it's just too bad it can't playback your videos of Brazil's triumph from four years ago because that's the only chance you can catch the samba wizards lift the trophy in 2006. Yeah, you guessed it. I'm no fan of Brazil. More info here

New Tunebuckles

The Tunebuckle's back. This time you can belt up with two more iterations, the Full Moon and Full Metal Jacket. As can be inferred from the names, the former sports a window access to your iPod nano's Click Wheel, while the latter is a full buckle clasp to give your Apple complete body armor. Hmmm... with so many choices, should it be the Full Moon today or the Full Metal Jacket? Or how about the scrolling belt buckle? Decisions, decisions...

A perfect experience awaits you with the JVC DynaPix

Two new DynaPix HD LCD TVs will be making their debut in the upcoming PC Show 2006: A 32-inch LT-32FX6 and a 40-inch LT-Z40SX6. Both models share common features such as Digital Image Scaling Technology (DIST), unique oblique cone speakers and a set of High Bandwidth Digital Copy Protection-enabled HDMI terminals.

The LT-Z40SX6's sonic performance is also further enhanced by a bass reflex four-speaker system equipped with dedicated woofers. These are driven by a powerful magnetic circuit which claims to deliver dynamic sound even for the hard-to-reproduce bass notes.
