There are reports the new 3G iPhone will be coming out at the Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference (WDC) in June 2008. It is said Apple has made a 10 million unit-strong order with Taiwan-based Hon Hai (Foxconn), for the new 3G phones. TGDaily has it from “industry sources” that the 3G iPhone will indeed be debuted at WWDC and will be offered in 8GB ($399), 16GB ($499) and possibly a monster 32GB ($599) variant. I am sure my friends who bought the non-3G ones will freak out once I get my hands on this 3G babies.

This mini new greeny and earth friendly PC by DELL looks pretty sleek. It would be good if it was green but black is an alright color since the keyboard looks pretty sleek too. Its supposed to be 70% less energy-consuming and 81% smaller than a mini tower sized PC.
“I think it’s the right thing to do,” said Michael Dell. “These are important issues. When you think about our industry, we produce 260 million computers a year. There’s a responsibility that comes with that.”
Its noted that Dell said the company will invest more in technology to reduce its energy consumption and participate in programs such as efforts to plant more trees. In fact, Dell is expanding its “Plant a Tree for Me” program for private consumers to “Plant a Forest for Me,” for companies buying in bulk.
It comes in recycled and recyclable packaging, (duh) and lets hope it’s friendly to consumer pockets too.
Good job Micheal Dell !

Finally Mitsubishi shows off its range of Laser TV that had debuted at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2008). This are the first-ever, laser-powered television sets for the homes.
Additionally, Mitsubishi has released details surrounding the 2008 DLP line and the new ultra thin LCD line for 2008. Product highlights include a thinner frame (about 10 inches thick) and brighter picture on the DLP models and proprietary Ultra Thin Frame on the LCD HDTVs with improved sound capabilities. The new DLP models will be available in April. Mitsubishi’s LCD HDTV models will be available beginning May 2008. LaserVue will ship to authorized retailers in Q3 2008.
Normal LCD or Plasma TVs only produce less than 40-percent of the color spectrum that the human eye can see. With LaserVue, laser produces twice the color range which Mitsubishi is calling “a true dimension experience.”

Tired of solar powered or cranking powered gadgets?. This will be something new…wind power. It has ports for various gadgets but unless you live in an area that has tropical storms 24/7, you’d probably go tired blowing into it. This weird device goes for $49.99.
Dubbed as a “mini green hybrid power station”, you charge the HyMini up from a main. When you go out for a bike or car-ride, attach the little guy to your vehicle, and the wind turbines will trickle charge your device.
