Honlai Technology has released its new MP100 LED mini projector. This easy-to-carry projector is only a size of a palm. It adopts the LCOS micro projection technology, which is capable of throwing an image between 5 inch to 37 inch.

The TG Sambo aka CP-1000 is now available on the Korean market.

Homecast announced the launch of its slim navigation PMP device ‘Tvus HM960′ in Korea market.Adopting a 4.3-inch wide touch screen and M&Soft’s Mappy software, the Tvus HM960 supports T-DMB, video playback and electronic dictionary function.It will use NAND flash memory for storage purposes instead of a hard drive, hence enabling it to come in an impossibly thin body that measures just 16.5mm thick, shaving off a fair amount of weight as well by tipping the scales at 195 grams.

It comes in the choice of 8GB or 16GB, and suggested price is 389,000(KRW) and 419,000(KRW) respectively.

The D5 Dicple will translate back and forth between Korean and English, as well as Korean to Japanese and Chinese. It also features a 3-inch, 480×272 resolution screen. Typing in text is accomplished via a 52-key QWERTY keyboard. Other talents of the D5 e-dictionaries include the ability to play back MPEG-4 SP and AVI videos, or MP3, WMA and OGG audio files. Photo and text viewers are also part of the package. A built-in FM radio and recording capabilities for both it and voice are more audio functions. While a speaker is evidently integrated, it’s not clear whether or not the dictionary function will read words out loud to help with their pronunciation.

The D5 is offered with two flash memory capacities; 2GB and 4GB, with dictionary data taking up 640MB in either model. iRiver includes earphones, a carrying pouch and USB 2.0 cable with each D5.

The device is available on iRiver’s site now in either black and white, and sells for $300 for the 2GB version and $350 for the 4GB D5.

Sports channel ESPN today launched The Ultimate Remote. The controller is designed to keep up to date on sports without interrupting a show and builds in 802.11g Wi-Fi that lets it access ESPN’s scores, fantasy leagues, and other components of the website directly from a 2.2-inch LCD and controls built into the controller itself. It also doubles as a programmable universal remote that both receives pre-made codes over Wi-Fi and can learn macros by hand. The Ultimate Remote also includes access to TV programming guides, weather and other non-sports data, and serves as a basic web browser. Rather than turn to disposable batteries, it charges its lithium-ion pack through USB and a chargeable cradle. Software onboard the remote can be setup without ever turning to a PC, ESPN says.

No definite release date is provided for the remote, though the device is available for pre-order from Amazon today for $300.

The good: Streams Netflix Watch Now titles to your TV; affordable $100 price tag; unlimited viewing with no additional charge beyond standard ($8.95 or higher) monthly Netflix fee; PC-free movie watching; simple setup; includes built-in wired and 802.11g Wi-Fi networking; works with all TVs; upgradeable firmware allows for new features, interface improvements, and bug fixes.

The bad: While growing, the number of Watch Now titles currently available for streaming is still pretty paltry, especially when it comes to popular recent releases; video quality doesn’t come close to DVD or HD; far too many titles don’t appear in their original wide-screen version; no surround sound; can’t manipulate queue via TV screen; yet another box under the TV.

The bottom line: While it’s still a work in progress–and currently lean on quality content–the Netflix Player’s simple operation, overall convenience, and cheap price makes it a compelling option for Netflix subscribers looking for instant gratification.
