LG unveiled its touchscreen bar smartphone dedicated for providing a seamless navigation experience, the LG GT505. It comes with a 3-inch 256-color WQVGA (400×240 pixels resolution) display. The LG GT505 will come with WisePilot navigation preinstalled and quite naturally a built-in GPS receiver. Unfortunately the navigation license will be free only for the first month with a purchase necessary if you are to use it after that point. It seems LG GT505 will be using some new user interface, called A-class instead of the highly appreciated S-class one found in LG KM900 Arena and LG GC900 Viewty Smart. It also packs Wi-Fi, quad-band GSM and 3G with HSDPA connectivity and a 5 megapixel camera.

Panasonic launched the world’s first portable Blu-Ray player enables HD video viewing on the go, the Panasonic DMP-B15. At a time when more consumers are taking to HD – largely because of falling prices of Blu-Ray players and the disappearance of the competing Toshiba HD format – this somewhat expensive portable Blu-Ray player could well be the first in a trend that is similar to the current proliferation of portable DVD players. The latter were also very expensive (costing more than $2,000) when they were first launched. Now, they can be purchased for $100 plus. The B15 can be connected to a HDTV via HDMI cable and comes equipped with an SD card slot (for viewing pictures, camcorder movies in AVCHD and MPEG2 format and downloaded DivX content) and a LAN port. With the Viera Cast function, users can access YouTube, Picasa and other websites from the Viera Cast screen. The B15 is also backward-compatible and plays CDs and DVDs.

The Radeon HD 4890 is presently ATI’s single fastest GPU and in stock form, a HD 4890 card will be clocking in at 850MHz at the core and 3900MHz DDR at the memory. This card from XFX, however, is doing 900MHz at the core while keeping to the reference memory clock speed.
