According to Akihabara News, PhoneDaily has snapped a few pictures during Motorola’s press conference where they launched their new PDA phone, the A1200.

“The A1200 runs on Linux, has a 2.4″ touch screen, 128MB of memory, an Intel Xscale PXA270 CPU, and it’s compatible with the Office suite. It also has the MSN Messenger integrated, a 2MP camera and it can scan business cards with the camera and store them as a contact in the phone’s memory. It also has Bluetooth and A2DP support. It measures 96x52x21.5mm.”

It might sound a bit more like an Apple fanboy wish list than an actual product from a Bulgarian company named Media Systems, but the iSetBox looks like it’ll turn a few heads either way if ever makes it to market. The device claims to be an all-in-one entertainment center, and we really can’t find much that isn’t in this box. It includes a CD and DVD writer, can record analog and digital TV, offers a web browser and email client, and can even has a 6-in-1 card reader to further its media inputs. If that wasn’t enough, the Linux-based unit can listen to and record digital and analog radio, sports Ethernet networking, and has a myriad of digital and analog inputs and outputs to further its reach into your home’s media devices. If you find the unit still lacking, you can add WiFi, Bluetooth or other niceties via a PCI card. The whole box is controlled via a single remote control, which can create playlists of the numerous media formats supported. It’s hard to imagine something this feature-filled ever making it to market, but we sure wouldn’t mind if it did.

Europeans looking for a little cocoa therapy will soon have LG’s KG800 as an option. Nicknamed the Chocolate Phone, the mobile has been the belle of Korea’s cell-phone ball since its Asia release in November, selling more than 300,000 units. It’s the first phone to feature a touch keypad, and the mobile’s glowing red controls on the outer shell disappear when not in use. The unique face has earned LG several design awards (most notably, the iF Design Award and red dot Design Award). While hungry fans in the U.S. will have to remain — surprise! — patient, the May release of the KG800 in Europe might be a sign that folks in America will taste LG’s Chocolate in the near future. — Trevor Noren

This is really nothing new—Seiko and Citizen have had versions of this movement for years. However, it’s a very cool design. The Ventura V-Tech Sigma MGS is “automatic” digital with all sorts of fancy, Swiss tomfoolery in it. First, you have a scratch resistant case and crystal and then you have Ventura’s EasySkroll knob, which allows you to set the time, date, and other functions with one scroll wheel.

You power the watch through the natural movement of your arm and there is a small rotor near the face which is connected to a micro-generator and battery. The resulting amalgam of fanciness and high-tech will cost you about $1,750 and should be available soon.

Samsung rolled out a 2.5-inch, 32GB flash drive that the company intends to market as a hard drive replacement unit. As it is with solid-state anything, it uses up just a fraction of the energy of devices with moving parts—in this case, 5% of the power of an old-fashoined spinning hard disk.

This technology will be especially well-suited for laptops, where Samsung, the world’s largest manufacturer of NAND flash memory, has been trying to push its products. Samsung didn’t reveal pricing for the 32GB unit, but it will probably show up first in notebooks manufactured in Taiwan.

If you’ve got an iPod Video and watch lots of things during a long commute, Belkin’s new TunePower rechargeable battery pack might be for you—it promises to add an extra six hours to your iPod’s two hour battery life.

So in the real world, that’s probably an extra three or three and a half hours, right? The TunePower comes with two sleeves to fit both 30GB and 60GB iPod Videos, costs $79.99 and should be out in the next week or so.

(If you haven’t got an iPod Video yet, you might want to hold off till the end of April. We’re just saying.)

Who needs Origami when you have Linux? The ‘Municator is a $146 computer designed to surf the web, get email, and listen to audio and video. It weighs about a pound, has 256MB RAM and 40GB hard drive, a 800-MHz Godson (???) processor and TV output. Four USB ports, VGA-out, and PS2 port make this uber-micro PC just about as useful as any $2,000 portable tablet.
