It is not just Sony that seems to have struck a golden deal with Netflix, but even LG seems to have gotten on the same bandwagon and in case of LG, it is sooner than later. While most HDTV set owners believed that Sony would be the first company to offer TV sets that could instantly and automatically connect and stream feed from Netflix, LG has beaten them to the punch by bringing out new 47-inch LCD HDTV and the 50-inch plasma HDTV PS80 that already are capable of doing the exact same.

These LG behemoths have full HD 1080p resolution and you can just queue up your favorite movies and television shows from Netflix and then watch them at your convenience. The new TVs need no external additional device to access this feature and they even can double up as a computer with HD display. It seems at this point that LG has partnered with Yahoo! to avail the feature and with more companies likely to jump in, it is the consumer who will finally profit with loads of entertainment options.

The new mobile phone will hit the stores in Europe by late November this year.

The exterior is minimal, which is like a signature style now, with a set of aesthetics keys that slide out to give a more professional look. The user interface flaunts UI technology and haptic feedback on touch input, thereby enhancing the experience of phone usage.

Then there are the hardware extensions that include 3G capability with HSDPA up to 7.2 Mbps and advanced 5 megapixel camera that features a slow motion video recording and DivX playback. Othe features include Wi-Fi, full HTML browser and video calling.

If that was not enough, they made the PRADA Link (model: LG-LBA-T950), a special Bluetooth watch to accompany the phone. It has been designed to let you see who’s calling by glancing at your wrist, as well as reading text messages without fishing the handset from a bag or pocket.

The new PRADA Phone by LG and the PRADA Link will be available with a starting price of 600 Euros and 299 Euros, respectively. So, start saving.

The latest baby to come from the house of LG is none other but a sweet little whiz kid mobile that claims to be an “all-in-one phone”. Yes, you guess it right, we are talking about the latest touch phone – the LG KC910. The elder sibling of this model, LG KU990 has been a very affable one. What remains to be seen is, does the new one matches the claims it so proudly presents.

KC910 gives a new age multi media experience, complete with an 8 megapixel auto focus camera, in built Wi-Fi and GPS, which lets you geo-tag the photos. The camera flaunts Schneider-Kreuznach optics with a xenon flash. The display has an unbeatable resolution of 240 x 400 pixels.

Now, the baby looks pretty enough for me to try but the only thing that puts me off is that the price is undisclosed yet. By the time they announce the price, I may get a fixation for another gadget! Let me wish it all the best, and pray that I wait for the model to be launched in October.

There is no dearth of Swarovski encrusted gadgets or accessories but if one happens to get another one then it gets a warm welcome. For these heartfelt thanks to designers’ gentry geared up to bring another revolution to the industry. After introducing you to Swarovski encrusted My Dior phone, laptop bag and Bluetooth headset, here is LG’s Canvas Crystal X LCD TV, all set to hit the market. The base of the 47-inch LCD TV (aka Canvas Crystal X) comes clad with 1000 Swarovski crystals and sports a 1080p full HD resolution plus a contrast ratio of 50,000:1.

Another USP is the ‘EyeQ’ that mechanically regulates the TV’s brilliance, contrast, and the color poise. News is this bling version of LCD TV is currently available for Koreans for KRW3.3m ($3194/£1629/€2053) and I am curious if it has any plans to reach overseas.
