Philips’ Cinema 21:9 Platinum HDTV finally takes the leap into 3D
It's kind of hard to outdo yourself with only two dimensions when they read 21 and 9, respectively, so Philips has decided to do the only thing left for a trendy display maker: go 3D. Though we saw (and loved) a 3D prototype of the 56-inch variant at last year's IFA, this new, 58-inch Cinema 21:9 Platinum HDTV looks set to bring the third dimension to actual retail. It's got the Ambilight wall illumination that some people will like, LED backlighting with local dimming that most should love, and a slimmer, brushed matte bezel that will be appreciated by all. The 400Hz panel is capable of pumping out Full HD 3D and is expected to cost around €4,000 ($5,112) in Europe or

Xbox Live Platinum subscription could be a reality
Hmmm, it looks as though the Xbox Live subscription service is going the way of credit cards - we are talking about the Gold subscription package being usurped by what could very well be the new Xbox Live Platinum subscription. Of course, with a cost of around $100 in the US, this new subscription will definitely come with a bunch of new enhancements, with speculation pointing towards the organization of an iTunes library from one's Xbox 360, as well as getting additional items for games like Halo: Reach and gaining access to new TV subscription options. In the current economic climate, it doesn't really make any sense to come up with something more expensive, but perhaps Microsoft knows something that we don't here.

Swipe It Credit Card Reader For The iPhone Looks Like It Means Business
Do you think that the Square payment system looks (physically) dodgy? After all, it looks like a little bit of plastic attached to the iPhone, ready to gobble up your Platinum credit card, right? If you’re worried about embracing new-looking tech, and just want something that looks more traditional, the Swipe It Reader for the iPhone might go a little way to ease your worries, mainly because it’s a lot bigger and bulkier, and looks a lot more like the credit card terminals that we’re used to. It supports Visa, MasterCard, AMEX and Discover, and all the data is encrypted before it’s passed from the reader to the customer Swipe It app running on the device. Apparently it only draws minimal power from the iPhone, which is good, and can also charge your iPhone while it’s connected, thanks to the included AC adapter. Is this a genuine contender for Square?

4N wristwatch delivers digital time in a mechanical fashion
Given how simple we've made timekeeping over the years, it was inevitable that luxury watches would have to move into more esoteric lands in order to exude the appropriate sense of wonder when witnessed by those who can't afford them. You might call that the Xperia Pureness effect. Ergo, quite aside from its platinum or 18-carat gold construction options, the 4N watch tries to grab the spotlight with its quirky disc-based mechanism, which rotates numbers (four numbers, hence 4N) into position to display a digital readout of the time. The fact that all three discs -- built out of aluminum or a titanium alloy -- and the MVT01 movement are exposed to the eye earns geek cred from us, while the limited run of only 16 units should ensure the desired exclusivity for the watches' future owners. As the old saying about price goes, if you have to ask, you can't afford one.

OreObject SPHEREtouch mouse is a $155 ball of touch-enabled steel
Dare we say that circular-shaped mice are actually becoming a trend? Swooping in like a ball on Newton's Cradle is the OreObject SPHEREtouch mouse to knock the Jelfin mouse on its head. Though this time we've got to admit the pricey SPHEREtouch has us rather intrigued. Not only is the handmade mouse available in your choice of steel, titanium and platinum, but OreObject has shaken things up with a large horizontal scroll wheel and two touch-sensitive buttons. Mac and PC compatible, it all sounds interesting and looks very pretty until you realize that the steel version starts at $155 and that the platinum one will set you back $225. For that kind of money, we'd at least expect them to cut the cord for some Bluetooth. But hey, if you've always wanted at least one indestructible ball of steel that source link has your name all over it.
