Lenovo LePhone Hands On Video CES 2011
We got some hands on with the Lenovo LePhone while were at CES. The LePhone is an Android phone designed with Lenovo’s very in-depth skin. It’s destined for China and the phone was mostly in Chinese, but we took a crack at it anyway. Check out the video.
LG Optimus 2X aka “Optimus Black”
The Gurus were on hand at the LG event when they formally announced the LG Optimus 2X. The Optimus is sporting a 1GHZ nVidia dual core processor, HDMI out, 1080p video playback and “Nova” display which LG claims to be the brightest display in the world. We’ll be hands on tomorrow with the Optimus Black, but for now take a look at the full presser after the jump.
UPDATED: Street Fighter 4 Mini Arcade Cabinet by Lenovo
Computers, phones and TVs are sooo last year’s CES. Street Fighter 4 mini arcade cabinets are what its all about now! This little guy has a full laptop inside of it with genuine arcade cabinet joystick, buttons, and monitor! Check out the video below for a look at how it works. We’ll definitely get some more info on this ASAP!
UPDATE: This arcade cabinet was actually part of a modding contest Lenovo put on. The Street Fighter 4 cabinet was made by modder Dean Liou and was created to dock the Lenovo IdeaPad Y560.
Guru Inspection: GelaSkins
The good folks at GelaSkins hooked us up with a 17″ laptop lid skin. Working with a skin this large can often be a nightmare. Check out the video and see how this one held up.
Google Goggles Gets Boost From Plink
via BoyGeniusReport.com
Google has acquired Plink, a UK based visual search company for a yet to be disclosed amount. Plink is a leading edge company that has focused via a 4month public program the ability to visually search art. You download app, and then take picture of painting and it tells you all about it. Great niche app. Clearly Google sees the potential of adding Plink into the Goggles fold.
Plinks founder Mark Cumming and James Philbin will both be assimilated working on the Goggles team helping to integrate their technology into Google’s dream of big brother. This is all part of Google’s plan to absorb a company every month until they own everything. Apparently this is in the ‘pursuit’ of improved and expanded line of services.
At CES we were shown Nokia’s visual search. It had the added ability of users to create and label the items and adding them to the centralized database. This gives the added feature of the more people use it the faster and more accurate it becomes.
In the words of Liam Neeson.”Unleash the Goggles!” that IS what he said, right?
