Here's nice video mini-review of the Optimus mini three OLED keyboard. Update: the video is no longer available...

Sony Ericsson has just announced the Z610 clamshell, a stylish 3G phone that sports a sleek mirror finish, and a hidden PMOLED, 128 x 36 pixel display which can only be seen when in use.

The new phone sports a 2.0 megapixel camera and 3G connectivity and will come in three colors - Luster Black, Rose Pink & Airy Blue.

This new media player available in Europe looks to have it all: beautiful 1.5" 65,000 color OLED screen, 1GB-4GB flash storage, 15 hours music playback, 3.5 hours video playback, a little over one ounce in weight, and the size of a credit credit.
It can play MP3 or WMA audio files, as well as AVI, DIVX, WMV, and ASF video files. The software included with the Asono M1 will properly convert the videos so they display perfectly.
For those over in Europe, you can pick this up starting at a mere EUR 111, or about $140 USD.

Sony will release a completely redesigned sports series flash memory-based network Walkman in the September/October timeframe. It will be available in two versions, the silver-colored 1GB NW-S203F ($150 $120) and the black-colored 2GB NW-S205F ($120 $150).

Not only does it also have an FM tuner, but its one-line organic EL display is easy to see in the dark, and it takes just three minutes to charge up the batteries for three hours of playback, or total of 18 hours of battery life on a full charge.

eMagin Corporation will provide several thousand microdisplays to Icuiti for production of its Tac-Eye(tm) display system. The agreement calls for an initial delivery of one thousand units with additional units to follow.

The Tac-Eye system combines ultra-low-power electronics and eMagin's industry-leading OLED microdisplays to deliver up to six hours of operation on a lithium battery. Brightness controls allow the operator to adjust for lighting conditions, daylight to darkness. Its high-contrast SVGA (800x600 triad pixels) OLED display combines with Icuiti's Quantum Optics (tm) to provide imaging from a wearable computer, laptop, thermal imager or vehicle-mounted computer system.

OLED microdisplays from eMagin provide power-efficient information displays for Liteye Systems' new LE-700 and LE-750 head-mounted displays (HMDs). Based on Liteye's new patented prismatic optic, the new 700 series HMDs also take advantage of the company's patented universal mount, which lets users locate the display in virtually any position.
The LE-750 provides a see-through configuration that fulfills the rest.

Like all Liteye personal displays, the 700 series is built rugged and water tight for use in any environment. It employs eMagin OLED microdisplays for power efficiency and ready operation, even in extreme heat and cold. Its new prismatic optic provides the clearest image and the greatest eye relief of any product in its class.

Small and lightweight, the ZEN V Plus is ergonomically designed so your music, pictures and video are right at your fingertips. So tiny it tucks away perfectly inside the coin pocket of your jeans, the ZEN V Plus has such great curves and contours and is so lightweight that you'll almost forget it's there except for its phenomenal sound quality.

Available in July for only US $199.99 for the 4GB model in glossy black with blue accents, the ZEN V is also available for only US $149.99 for the 2GB model in glossy black or white with green accents. A 1GB model in glossy black or white with orange accents will be available for only US $119.99.

The new Citizen Bluetooth-enabled watch (The W700 model) is now on sale in Japan (5,000 units only). The watch displays incoming calls from your mobile phone, while vibration technology as well as flashing lights serve as call indicators. Additionally, an optional alert is available to warn you if you leave your phone behind.

A small OLED display shows the caller id. The watch is large (40 mm x 42.4 mm x 46.6 mm) and weighs 55 grams. The battery is said to last five days, and the unit comes in black or silver.

BenQ Siemens has launched its latest music phone equipped with its 'Q-Fi' music system: a ten-band equaliser hooked up to a pair of built-in 3D surround-sound speakers, fed by the company's own music playback app and activated with dedicated controls.

The EF71 sports a brushed aluminium clamshell casing. There's a 2.2in, 176 x 220, 262,144-colour main display and a white, 128 x 64 OLED screen used when the case is closed. The phone has a two-megapixel camera with 9x digital zoom which can also be used as a webcam when the phone's hooked up to a PC's USB port. The EF71's battery can also be charged this way. Bluetooth connectivity is part of the package too.

Building on the momentum of its recent SDK releases, the company is also moving aggressively to make 3D gaming more accessible, lowering the price of the award-winning Z800 3DVisor from its introductory price of $899 to $549. "We're seeing the initial adoption of our SDK by game developers, which has come at a time when we've been able to improve our OLED display production, so the time was right to make this move," said Susan Jones, executive vice president and chief marketing officer, eMagin Corporation. "The release and regular updates to our software developers' kit and collaboration with leading companies highlight our commitment to 3D virtual imaging in general and the gaming market specifically."
