Today LG announced via a press release which can be found here the release of their newest Blu-ray Player - the BD300 which will begin streaming Netflix movies in the US this September. The player is said to cost somewhere around $350-400 and will allow Netflix users to stream more than 10,000 standard definition TV and films through the gadget at no extra cost. Netflix members will enjoy a fast start of the movie, just a bit under 30 seconds after it’s been added in their individual queues. While the technical specifications of the player have not fully been released, Engadget said that it’s going to “easily integrate with LG TVs and AV products“.

Two days ago Asus announced the release of a new wireless N USB adapter blatantly naming it USB-N11. While this 8.4 cm long gadget may seem powerless we can assure you it’s not. With the simple push of a button on the adapter and the router you’ve got your secured wireless connection - easy, fast and no fuss. While supporting most of the major Operating Sysmtes ( Windows, Linux and MAC ) this device is also 802.11n compliant allowing its users to have easy interoperability with all draft-N devices. Setting up a fully working wireless network has never been so easy, and to make things even more simpler the ASUS USB-N11 comes with a WPS button allowing users to have a secure connection set-up in no time. There is no pricing information and shipping date available yet for the USB-N11.

Although we’re not firm believers that 2nd time’s the charm, we can only guess that Dell isn’t going to have too much success this time either. Why ? Because they’re main focus isn’t the digital audio market and that has shown back in 2003 as well when they had to back out. According to The Wall Street Journal, Michael Dell and co. are getting ready to test the market once again, their products being available with the start of September.

The Wall Street Journal seems to have already formed it’s opinion about Dell’s MP3 player called “The Zing” quickly pointing out the differences between The Zing and the major players in the field.

What do you think ? Success or failure ?

Iomega, a pretty famous external drive manufacturer, has just announced the release of its eGo Helium external HDD.

From the pictures or from the title you wouldn’t say there’s anything special to this HDD, except for the fact it’s very very thin - more precisely 0.63 inches thick ( that’s 1.575 centimers thick ) and weights only 7 ounces - and it’s a tough little one as well, as it’s designed to resist falls from up to 1.3 meteres.

With those sizes you wouldn’t expect for it to pack too much storing space, would you ? Well, you’re wrong about that as it packs a 320GB 2.5″ HDD. Oh, and it also has a USB 2.0 port.

Other than the geeky tech specs, it’s designed to be used with the MacBook Air - both being very thin and having a similar look. Although that might not be the most convincing motive, you’ll probably want to know that this one comes formatted with Apple’s HFS+ file system.

It’s coming in every country starting next month, and it’s priced at $149.99.

After talking about the  AiGuru SV1 yesterday ( the first Skype compatible videophone ), it looks like the people over at Gizmodo and at Engadget have got their hands on it and offer a few more screenshots than currently available anywhere else. There’s not much else left to be said, so head on over and take a closer look at the photos and enjoy the reviews.
