AT&T have just launched a new 3G phone, the LG Invision aka CB630. Whilst not sporting any great specs the Invision does offer via AT&T’s Mobile TV network CBS Mobile, ESPN Mobile TV, FOX Mobile and NBC2GO. So if you like your TV on a small screen and we really do mean a small screen check out the following details on the Invision.

* 3G connectivity
* 4 x 2 x 0.5 inch (approximately)
* 1.3 Mp camera
* Bluetooth connectivity

No great numbers but this phone is squarely aimed at people who like their entertainment ‘on the go’, with the LG Invision sporting features such as downloadable music from eMusic, streaming digital radio from XM Radio Mobile as well as the afore-mentioned TV options. Unfortunately all these features add up to a pretty penny, in fact the max package of Mobile TV plus and XM Radio Mobile will add a neat US$39 a month to your phone charges.

If you’re still keen then you’ll be pleased to know that AT&T are flogging these puppies for a mere US$100 with a two year shackle after a rebate. Not bad if indeed you like your entertainment ‘on the go’ and on a screen less than 2 inches by 1.5.

Despite having an official launch date of the 14th, it appears that you can splash out a whole day earlier if you’re into the LG Chocolate 3 from Verizon aka the VX8560. Not sure if a whole 24 hours will make any difference to their sales, but their marketing department obviously think so! Here’s a breakdown of what you can get your mits on

* 2 Mp camera (still and vid)
* GPS
* 3.5 mm headphone jack
* black or light blue colour choice
* 1 GB internal memory
* microSD slot (up to 8 GB)
* built-in FM transmitter
* 2.2 inch 320 x 240 res internal display
* 1.76 inch 176 x 220 res external display
* integrated stereo speakers
* Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity

The LG Chocolate 3 certainly has all the bells and whistles, we quite like the built in FM transmitter. It’s price tag is US$130 after mail in rebate but that’s hooked up with a two year plan. US$300 will get you an unshackled version of this puppy.

LG will soon be launching their latest HDTV ranges, the LG6000 and PG6000. These super sexy models were shown off at CES but will be available soon in the UK and hopefully elsewhere not long after. The LCD LG6000 range sports four models a 32, 37, 42 and 47 inch versions, whilst the Plasma PG6000 comes in two flavours, 42 and 50 inch. Here’s the shared features of the two ranges

* 15,000:1 contrast ratio (30,000:1 for plasma)
* 24p Tru Cinema
* Four HDMI 1.3 inputs
* USB 2.0 port for looking at photos or listening to mp3s

The LG6000 range also boast ‘invisible’ Mark Levinson speakers which provide a wider ’sweet spot’ by creating a virtual wall of sound - hmmm - I’ll believe that when I, err, hear it. Despite the marketing hyperbole, I’m sure LG’s latest HDTV offerings will make the grade. Unfortunately we have no idea whether your bank manager will agree as price tags are not currently available.

Now this puppy looks like a winner. LG have just launched a 52 inch 1080p LCD TV with 802.11n WiFi connectivity enabling you to stream HD content across your home network and onto this sucker.

Unfortunately with no pricing or launch date there are still a few key loose ends left to be tied up, but the 52LG71 LCD TV could be an awesome addition to any home entertainment setup at any cost.

If you’re keen as to get your hands on an LG Venus from Verizon then head on over to their website for your pre-order today for the November 19th release of the black version. A pink version will appear on December 11th. US$200 will get you one of these suckers along with an accompanying two year plan, a standalone version will set you back $350.

So what about the bells and whistles? Well here’s the low-down

* 2 mp camera
* microSD storage up to 8 GB
* stereo bluetooth support
* plays nicely with MP3, WMA, AAC, & AAC+ formats
* speakerphone
* touch screen for system navigation

So nothing major really and $200 seems a pretty standard figure (with a two year plan) for these kind of phones at the moment. So unless you’re desperate for one, I’d wait until the Christmas rush to see if prices tumble.

Another snippet from the FPD International 2007 showcase. LG are showing off their latest ‘G Platform’ plasma TVs that sport a staggering contrast ratio of 30,000:1. This is double the current 15,000:1 ratio of their existing HD plasma TVs and according to the blurb

G Platform panels are capable of reproducing exceptionally true colors across the entire spectrum, including even deep blacks with a 20 percent reduced reflection rate. In contrast to existing black panels, which are able to improve colors on the screen only by using clear black-colored panels, LG has improved color reproduction by optimizing the panels’ color phosphors and utilizing dielectrics.

The ‘G Platform’ will be available in 32, 42 and 50 inch 720 HD models plus 50 and 60 inch 1080 HD versions. No pricing on these suckers as yet, but I’m guessing you’d better start saving now!
