Forget the hacks; Asian survey says Sony still "Most Valued Brand"

Samsung W7900 "Show" – a projectorphone with OLED display and digital TV tuner
If you’re a fan of media consumption on the move, then you’ve likely got some sort of big screen PMP like an Archos 7. If you’re not invested in a particular device yet, though, then you could do worse than consider the Samsung W7900, aka the Show, which comes packed with a 3.2″ 240×400 OLED display, 5-megapixel camera, 3G, HSDPA, and most notably, a 10 lumen 480 x 320 projector, that’ll project upto a 50″ diagonal.
It also has a digital TV tuner so you’ll be able to watch telly on a (dark) bus, and all that is crammed into a body just 4.4″ x 2.2″ x 0.7″ thick. Impressive! Although it’ll initially only be available in Asia, here’s hoping that it’ll make it over this side of the world at some point over the next year.

The tech is called LTE, which (doesn’t really) stand for “the Long Term Evolution of 3GPP”. It’s basically the plans that the 3rd Generation Partnership Project has for the future of 3G and cellular broadband in general. Some people refer to it as 4G.
Korea/Japan Week: Domain suffix '.asia' launched, hear cheap electronics companies squeal with delight
The domain ‘.xxx’ may not have been allowed the other month, but ‘.asia’ has been given the all-clear by ICANN – which may very well target the same sites, to be honest.
A Hong Kong-based company, DotAsia, won the right to set up the domain, which is pretty luck for namesake’s, err, sake. “The .asia domain acts like a channel or a portal, showing your commitment to the Asia market as a whole,” said Edmon Chung from DotAsia about the deal. It’s thought that…
