LG Expo with optional snap-on pico projector

And you think your smartphone is powerful. Announced Monday, LG's new Expo offers a couple of "firsts" for AT&T, and we don't quite know which excites us the most. Not only does the Expo have a 1GHz processor, but it also supports an optional pico projector for sharing videos, photos, and presentations stored on the phone.

On the outside the Expo sports a standard candy bar design with a 3.2-inch, 16 million-color touchscreen. You'll also find a QWERTY keyboard behind the sliding face. As you can imagine, the features set is rather high end, with a 5-megapixel camera with a flash, a microSD card slot, Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional, a personal organizer, email and messaging, and a media player.

The Expo will be available December 7 for US$199 with a two-year contract (a minimum US$69 per month service plan is required) and after a US$100 mail-in rebate. The LG Mobile Projector, which snaps on to the back of the handset, will cost you an additional US$179. According to AT&T it will be available in the coming weeks.

Google Maps layer helps Singapore users find defibrillators

My only encounter with a defibrillator is on TV dramas such as House, ER, or Grey's Anatomy. It's a device that delivers electrical pulses to the heart and can save the life of someone who's having a cardiac arrest, that much I know. While a defibrillator is not as common as a public loo or automated teller machine, it could save a person's life in an emergency.

So what we have here is a global location map of automated external defibrillators (AED) with Singapore just being added to the list. Australia and Japan are the other two countries with this feature in Asia Pacific. Unlike the defibrillators used in surgical theaters, the AED are simple units meant for use by the layman.

WakeMate wakes you up at the right time

Please forgive me if I take the easy humor route and inject a few "Twilight: New Moon" jokes into my posts over the next few days. I haven't been sleeping well and when that happens I get groggy and tend to go for the easy laugh. The problem is that some nights I just don't get enough sleep (I'm no vampire). I go to bed at different times and always try to wake up at 8am.

BlackBerry gets eBay auction app

RIM's BlackBerry App World is slowly but surely gaining ground as a storefront for distributing BlackBerry applications. eBay is the latest major company to forge a presence in the storefront, in the form of an eBay app for BlackBerry auctioneers in the US and Canada.

The official eBay for BlackBerry application, which was co-developed by eBay and RIM, includes features to search for, track, and buy an item from the smartphone. Unsurprisingly, the eBay app accepts PayPal payments--PayPal has not only been an eBay company since 2002, it is also currently the only payment system for purchasing BlackBerry apps through the App World.

Apple iPhone launched in South Korea

A month after Apple started selling its iPhone in China, the device expanded its Asian reach Saturday with a much-heralded launch in South Korea.

In keeping with the tradition of waiting in line for hours in advance of an iPhone launch, hundreds queued up overnight outside the Olympic stadium in Seoul to snag the smartphone as soon as it officially landed amid blaring music and strobe lights. The hoopla appeared to far trump the phone's more subdued arrival in China, where it launched in the October cold and rain to smaller-than-expected crowds.
